Genshin Impact's Natlan Archon Quest introduces a formidable foe: the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire. This challenging weekly boss fight requires strategic planning and a well-equipped team. This guide will detail how to locate and defeat this powerful dragon.
The Lord of Eroded Primal Fire resides within the Stone Stele Records domain, situated south of the Statue of Seven near the Masters of the Night-Wind tribe. Access requires completion of the Archon Quest's final chapter, "When All Becomes A Monument," or utilizing the Quick Challenge option in the Adventurer's Handbook. Defeating this boss yields valuable rewards using 30 Original Resin.
Success heavily favors teams featuring Natlan characters like Mavuika, Kinich, Citlali, Mualani, etc., due to their synergy with the fight's mechanics. The battle involves three key phases:
1. Pillar Destruction: The Lord of Eroded Primal Fire summons three pillars and three Tenebrous Mimiflora. Characters with Nightsoul Blessings significantly expedite pillar destruction, crucial for interrupting the boss's devastating Eroded Meteor attack. While other characters can destroy the pillars, it will take considerably longer. Swift destruction immobilizes the dragon for approximately 10 seconds, providing a valuable damage window. Failure to break the pillars quickly necessitates a strong shield and consistent healing to survive the meteor.
2. Dodging and Positioning: The dragon's unpredictable attacks demand skillful dodging. During its smoke phase, maintaining visibility is challenging. Its attacks, including sword slashes and smashes, significantly reduce the battlefield's size. When the battlefield shrinks, staying close to the dragon and attacking from underneath is a viable, albeit risky, strategy. This requires consistent healing to counter the Erosion effect from its attacks. The Eroded Dragon Breath attack, where the dragon impales its swords, necessitates a strong shield and constant healing. Staying near its hands can help avoid this attack's full impact.
3. Co-op Mode: Regardless of your team composition, Co-op Mode offers significant advantages. Additional players, particularly those with Nightsoul Blessing characters, greatly ease the pillar destruction phase. Utilize the "Match" button in the domain to team up with other players.
A dedicated healer is indispensable for this fight. Characters like Furina and Kokomi are highly effective, but Kuki, Barbara, and Bennett also provide valuable support. The fight doesn't have distinct phases, but its length requires patience and strategic execution.
This comprehensive guide should equip you to conquer the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire and claim your rewards. Remember, preparation and teamwork are key to victory!
