How To Beat The Lord Of Eroded Primal Fire In Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact's Natlan Archon Quest nears its end, unveiling lore speculated since the game's beginning and evolving combat mechanics. Each nation features two weekly bosses, and the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire presents a significant challenge. This formidable dual-sword-wielding dragon embodies the original Natlan ruler, now corrupted by the Abyss. Similar to Inazuma's Riftwolves, it inflicts a Corrosion effect, demanding strategic combat. While difficult, victory is achievable. This guide details how to defeat the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire.
The Lord of Eroded Primal Fire resides in the Stone Stele Records domain, south of the Statue of Seven near the Masters of the Night-Wind tribe. Located within a shrine commemorating Natlan's fallen, this domain offers standard rewards using 30 Original Resin for the first three weekly bosses.
Completing the Archon Quest's final chapter, "When All Becomes A Monument," unlocks this boss. Alternatively, the Quick Challenge option in the Adventurer's Handbook allows access without completing the story.
Success hinges heavily on Natlan characters like Mavuika, Kinich, Citlali, and Mualani.
While mostly stationary, the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire summons three pillars and three Tenebrous Mimiflora. Nightsoul Blessing characters significantly expedite their defeat.
While other characters can destroy the pillars, Natlan characters like Mavuika, Citlali, Kinich, or Kachina drastically reduce the time required, preventing the devastating Eroded Meteor strike. Breaking the pillars immobilizes the dragon for roughly 10 seconds, allowing for significant damage. However, even with speed, the pillars might not break fast enough depending on your character. Once the meteor animation begins, equip a shield and switch to a healer. Consistent healing is crucial to survive the corrosion effect, which penetrates shields and deals substantial damage. Without a shield, you risk a one-shot kill even at full HP. Healers like Furina and Kokomi are ideal; Kuki, Barbara, and Bennett are viable alternatives.
Dodging the dragon's unpredictable attacks is challenging. It transforms into smoke, making it hard to track its movements. Frantic attacks include sword slashes and smashes that significantly reduce the battlefield, hindering movement and dodging. When this happens, staying close and attacking from underneath is a strategy, but proceed cautiously. The Eroded Dragon Breath attack inflicts Pyro and Erosion damage, requiring strong shielding and healing. If overwhelmed, stay near its hands—the breath attack doesn't reach this area. The dragon also uses sword slashes; heal immediately to counter the Erosion effect. A dedicated healer is indispensable.
Regardless of your Natlan character roster, Co-Op Mode offers assistance. Additional players with Nightsoul Blessing characters significantly aid during the pillar phase. Use the 'Match' button in the domain to team up for easier combat.
Unlike previous weekly bosses, this fight lacks multiple phases but requires considerable time and strategic play.
