Conquering the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire in Genshin Impact: A Comprehensive Guide

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 fearsome dragon.

Locating the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire

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. This domain, a shrine commemorating Natlan's fallen, offers rewards using 30 Original Resin for the first three weekly boss encounters. Access requires completion of the Archon Quest's final chapter, "When All Becomes A Monument," or using the Quick Challenge option in the Adventurer's Handbook.

Defeating the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire

Success hinges on utilizing Natlan characters like Mavuika, Kinich, Citlali, Mualani, etc., who significantly expedite the fight. The battle involves three key phases:

Destroying the Pillars with Nightsoul Blessing

The Lord of Eroded Primal Fire summons three pillars and three Tenebrous Mimiflora. While other characters can destroy the pillars, Natlan characters wielding Nightsoul Blessings drastically reduce the time required. This is crucial to interrupt the Dragon's devastating Eroded Meteor attack. Immobilizing the dragon for approximately 10 seconds provides a critical damage window. However, even with optimal characters, the pillars might not break quickly enough. In this case, equip a shield and rely on a strong healer to mitigate the substantial damage from the meteor and the persistent corrosion effect. Healers like Furina, Kokomi, Kuki, Barbara, or Bennett are highly recommended.

Dodging Attacks and Strategic Positioning

The dragon's unpredictable attacks demand constant vigilance. Its smoke transformation and frantic attacks, including devastating sword slashes and smashes, significantly reduce the battlefield's usable area. When the battlefield is diminished, staying close to the dragon and attacking from underneath can be effective, but requires consistent healing to counter the Eroded Dragon Breath's Pyro and Erosion damage. Remember to utilize shields and healing to survive the intense attacks.

Utilizing Co-Op Mode

Regardless of your character roster, Co-Op Mode offers a significant advantage. Additional players, especially those with Nightsoul Blessing characters, greatly ease the pillar destruction phase. Utilize the "Match" button in the domain to team up with other players.

While the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire lacks multiple phases, its high health pool and challenging mechanics demand careful strategy, strong characters, and a reliable healer for a successful victory.
