Genshin Impact - Local Legends

Local Legends are a category of hidden mini-bosses in Genshin Impact. Most are enhanced variants of Common or Elite Enemies, retaining their base form but with significantly increased stats and new or improved attacks not found on their standard counterparts. A small number, such as Liam and Cocijo, have no ordinary equivalent and exist only as unique encounters. Most Local Legends are accessible immediately upon entering their region, though several require partial or full completion of a specific World Quest before they can be engaged.

Defeating a Local Legend grants increased Mora, experience, and, where applicable, Character and Weapon Enhancement Materials relative to a standard enemy of the same type. Each Local Legend is also tied to an Achievement, awarded on first defeat and yielding Primogems. Local Legend bounties under the Valiant Chronicles system are tracked through Katheryne, the receptionist found at every Adventurers' Guild, where players can review objectives and claim rewards once completed. Some Local Legends enclose the player's party within a barrier for the duration of the encounter, which persists until either the Local Legend or the party is defeated. Wildlife-type Local Legends, which lack corresponding material drops, instead yield foodstuffs such as meat or berries upon defeat; their associated achievements and Primogem rewards remain unaffected by this distinction.

Genshin Impact - Mondstadt Local Legends

Mondstadt is currently home to 2 Local Legends worth tracking down. Below is a breakdown of each one's location, achievements, and how to take them down.

1. Churldric

Location

North of Cider Lake, in the hilichurl camp/arena northeast of the Windrest Peak Teleport Waypoint

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Churldric
Deal damage to the Delicious Hot Pot summoned by Churldric and defeat it
Defeat Churldric before he can finish cooking with the Delicious Hot Pot

How to Defeat Churldric

Keep moving during Food Rain, since the falling cabbages and sunsettias hit harder than they look, watch for the warning lines and dodge early.
Watch for his plunging Pogo Staff attacks; he leaps and slams down three times in a moderate AoE around your position.
After enough damage, Churldric summons the Delicious Hot Pot and starts cooking a stew to heal himself, this is where the real fight begins.
The pot is a Geo construct, so Geo damage is the most effective way to break it quickly.
Destroy the pot before the cooking finishes to prevent the heal and score the bonus achievement, don't just tank through it.
If you want the "defeat while cooking" achievement specifically, kill Churldric while the pot is still active, without necessarily destroying the pot first.

2. Maha Vasudevayaputra

Location

Northwest of the Desert Pavilion, in the Temple of Space. Teleport to the bottom Waypoint of Desert Pavilion and walk northwest until you find Mardava.

How to Unlock

Complete the Unofficial Chronicle of the Desert Pavilion Quest, then speak to Mardava to start the fight.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: "Maha Vasudevayaputra"
Defeat "Maha Vasudevayaputra" after forcing him to revert to his normal state at least once
After "Maha Vasudevayaputra" reverts back to its normal state for the first time, defeat it before it goes into the Scorched state

How to Defeat Maha Vasudevayaputra

Bring only Dendro and Hydro characters. Any other elemental reaction (Pyro, Electro, or Cryo) instantly forces Maha back into its Scorched State, which resets your progress on the Objectives / Achievements.
Keep the Dendro bar filled using Bloom or Lunar-Bloom reactions throughout the fight; letting it drop lets Maha revert to Scorched State.
Characters like Lauma and Columbina are especially strong here since the two together can keep the Dendro bar full on their own.
Don't try to brute-force it with other reactions. It only makes the fight harder and locks you out of the reward Objectives / Achievements.
Once Maha reverts to its normal state, land the killing blow before it can go Scorched again to clear the final objective.

Genshin Impact - Liyue Local Legends

Liyue is currently home to 1 Local Legend worth tracking down. Below is a breakdown of its location, achievements, and how to take it down.

1. Rulers of the Chizhang Mountains

Location

East of Chizhang Wall in Chenyu Vale, found walking in circles on an open field.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Rulers of the Chizhang Mountains

How to Defeat Rulers of the Chizhang Mountains

This is actually two Geovishaps fought together, Yiji (Pyro) and Tianyu (Cryo), both resistant to their own element.
Use elemental reactions against them instead of matching elements. Anemo characters like Xianyun or Kazuha work well here since the two enemies fight close together, making Swirl easy to trigger off both.
Watch out for their revive mechanic: as long as one of them is still alive, the other can be revived, so don't let either one drop too far ahead of the other.
Chip away at both of their HP evenly, then finish them off at the same time. Defeating one first opens a short window (shown by a gauge onscreen) to kill the other before it revives its partner.
Bring shields and healing, since both enemies hit hard and can knock you down mid-fight.

Genshin Impact - Fontaine Local Legends

Fontaine is currently home to 17 Local Legends worth tracking down, the most of any region. Below is a breakdown of each one's location, achievements, and how to take them down.

1. Dobharcu, Lord of the Hidden

Location

Underwater in the Chemin de L'Espoir, within The Great Fontaine Lake, near the cavern featured in the Narzissenkreuz Adventure quest.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Dobharcu, Lord of the Hidden

How to Defeat Dobharcu, Lord of the Hidden

Before engaging, find a nearby Xenochromatic Blubberbeast and absorb its Sonar Wave ability. Hold your basic attack and target the blue blubberbeast marked with a wave symbol.
Sonar Wave replaces your Elemental Skill temporarily and gives you two charges, hold to aim or tap for quick bursts.
Dobharcu goes invisible and attacks with unseen Sonar Waves, use the direction those waves come from to pinpoint its location.
Fire your own Sonar Wave back at that spot to briefly reveal Dobharcu so you can land hits.
Stay close when doing this. Sonar Waves are slow enough to dodge easily, but that also makes them hard to land from a distance, medium or short characters with good mobility make this much easier to pull off.

2. Fading Veteran

Location

Underwater in the Elton Trench, east of the Elynas Statue of Seven. Dive deep into the ravine until you spot destroyed ship parts.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Fading Veteran

How to Defeat Fading Veteran

Absorb a Xenochromatic Blubberbeast's Sonar ability first, hold your basic attack and target a blue Blubberbeast to get it.
Fading Veteran can turn invisible and become immune to damage. Avoid its Sonar attacks during this phase rather than trying to fight through it, and use the direction those attacks come from to track its location.
Once it reappears, it stays still for a moment before moving again, use that window to unload as much damage as possible before it vanishes again.

3. The Fairy Knight Twins

Location

Underwater in Salacia Plain, near the Pale Forgotten Glory talent book domain. Dive down after teleporting to the nearby domain waypoint.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Fairy Knight Twins
Lose in the duel against the legendary Hunter's Ray... (The White Path Between Two Rivers)

How to Defeat Fairy Knight Twins

Absorb a Water Blade ability from a Xenochromatic Hunter's Ray first, hold your basic attack and target the blue Hunter's Ray to get it.
Angelica and Medoro, the two twins, move and attack fast, so dodge or swim away rather than trying to trade hits directly.
Wait for them to charge up a strong attack, then aim for the connection point between them in the middle, that's where you'll land the most damage.
If the fight goes badly, there's no real penalty, dying and teleporting away actually unlocks its own separate achievement.

4. Swords of the Gorge

Location

Underwater in the Thalatta Submarine Canyon, on the left side, close to the Court of Fontaine.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Swords of the Gorge

How to Defeat Swords of the Gorge

Absorb the Water Blade ability from a Xenochromatic Hunter's Ray before engaging, it's your main tool for damaging them underwater.
Cortana and Murgleis, the two swords, share a connected attack, watch for the orb forming between them as they charge it.
Aim your Water Blade at that orb to hit both enemies at once, this is the most efficient way to bring them down together.

5. Iron Viscount

Location

Inside the Scorching Cave in Elynas, Fontaine. Reach it by solving the Hydrograna puzzle near the boiling waters south of the Archon of the Seven, which opens a Treasure Chest and reveals a portal. Inside, douse all the Pyro bonfires with Hydrograna to reveal the boss.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Iron Viscount

How to Defeat Iron Viscount

Normal attacks barely dent this one, and its own attacks hit hard, so absorb the shield ability from a nearby Xenochromatic Armored Crab first, hold your basic attack and target the blue crab.
Use the absorbed shield ability (mapped to your Elemental Skill button) to parry Iron Viscount's spinning and throwing attacks, deflecting the damage right back at it.
Repeat this parry-and-punish pattern until it's defeated, this is really the only reliable way to bring it down.

6. Ocean Circuit Judge

Location

Near the center of The Great Fontaine Lake, north off the coast of the giant skull in the Beryl Region. It's guarding a locked Precious Chest close to the lakebed.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Ocean Circuit Judge

How to Defeat Ocean Circuit Judge

Absorb the shield ability from a nearby Xenochromatic Armored Crab first; normal attacks won't do much against it. Hold your basic attack and target a blue crab to get it.
Press and hold the absorbed skill while it's attacking, then release and aim at the boss to parry its attack, this also breaks any shield it puts up.
If you get hit, look for Recovery Orbs scattered near the edge of its territory to heal back up mid-fight.

7. Luachra the Brilliant

Location

Underwater in the Liffey Region, near the Millennial Pearl Seahorse, in an area above the World Boss's cave entrance, surrounded by seaweed.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Luachra the Brilliant

How to Defeat Luachra the Brilliant

Absorb the Bing-Bang Hat Bomb ability from a nearby Xenochromatic Jellyfish first, hold your basic attack and target a blue jellyfish to get it. Hold the skill to throw the bomb, tap to drop it at your feet.
Watch for Luachra's Charge Attack windup, then aim a bomb into its path and detonate it mid-charge, this deals heavy damage and stuns it.
Keep your distance from the boss otherwise, this makes its attacks much easier to dodge and predict.
If you take damage, look for Recovery Orbs tucked between nearby seaweed to heal back up.

8. Chassanion

Location

Underwater near the Tower of Ipsissimus, southwest of the south underwater waypoint of Weeping Willow. Requires progressing The Search in the Algae Sea quest to access. Swim to the platform in the center of the tower and dive down.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Chassanion

How to Defeat Chassanion

Absorb the ability from a nearby Xenochromatic Ball Octopus, just tap your normal attack on one to get it.
Hold and aim the absorbed ability at Chassanion's glowing projectiles to redirect them back and damage it.
Each defeat also drops a Mysterious Xenochromatic Crystal, tradeable for Mora at the Rusty Rudder, but you can only hold one at a time, so trade it in before farming another.

9. Mageblade Corrouge

Location

Underwater in Weeping Willow, only accessible after completing The Wild Fairy of Erinnyes world quest. From the southwest waypoint of Weeping Willow, swim straight forward to reach it.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Mageblade Corrouge

Location

On the outermost edge of the Beryl Region, on the shores of Elynas, Fontaine.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Ninianne of the Lake

How to Defeat Ninianne of the Lake

Like Vivianne, she's constantly affected by Hydro, so Dendro and Electro characters can trigger Hyperbloom without needing a Hydro unit of your own.
Pyro characters like Hu Tao, Yoimiya, or Xiangling also work well here by triggering Vaporize instead.

11. Vivianne of the Lake

Location

North of the Court of Fontaine, near the Echoes of the Deep Tides domain. Teleport to the domain or the uppermost waypoint and head north, she's near the base of a small cliff at the end of the aqueduct.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Vivianne of the Lake

How to Defeat Vivianne of the Lake

She's constantly affected by Hydro, so Dendro and Electro characters can trigger easy Hyperbloom reactions against her.
Alternatively, Pyro-focused Vaporize teams work well too, since her Hydro application sets that up automatically.

12. Yseut - "The Cold Hand"

Location

West of the Liffey Region's Statue of the Seven, Fontaine. She's found on a wooden platform surrounded by torches.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Yseut

How to Defeat Yseut - "The Cold Hand"

One of her attacks locks onto your character and applies Bond of Life, bring a healer to manage the damage over time.
She's a Human-type enemy, so crowd control skills (like Venti's burst) work well to stun and disrupt her.
Watch your positioning around Bennett's burst field, since Yseut can proc Melt on your Pyro-affected character.

13. Deianeira of Snezhevna

Location

Underwater near the Tower of Ipsissimus, Fontaine. Teleport to the south underwater waypoint, swim southeast to a ruin, and continue to the empty arena. Requires progressing An Expected Plan quest to unlock.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Deianeira of Snezhevna

How to Defeat Deianeira of Snezhevna

She inflicts Bond of Life, a lingering damage-over-time effect, bring a healer to offset it.
As a Human-type enemy, she's vulnerable to crowd control, stunning or interrupting her limits how much damage she racks up.
National Team comps (Bennett, Sucrose, Xiangling, Xingqiu) handle her well through a mix of healing and crowd control.

14. Automated Supercomputing Field Generator - Verified Type Aur001

Location

Northeast of the Central Laboratory Ruins, Fontaine. From the nearby teleport waypoint, keep heading north to a patch of bare land.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Automated Supercomputing Field Generator

How to Defeat Automated Supercomputing Field Generator - Verified Type Aur001

Break its shield first using Geo damage or heavy attacks before you can deal real damage.
Zhongli is especially useful here, he can break the shield and protect your team from its powerful shockwave attacks at the same time.
Mono-Geo teams (Itto, Zhongli, Albedo, Gorou) or Physical-focused teams (Eula, Zhongli) both make quick work of its shield.

15. Liam

Location

Near the Weeping Willow of the Lake, Fontaine. From the southeast waypoint, head northeast toward a small pond, Liam ("the Fading Rainbow") is on the path beside it. Clear the nearby Pyro Slimes before engaging.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Liam

How to Defeat Liam

He throws elemental potions that apply status effects and deal solid damage, a shielder makes this fight much more manageable.
Wait for his attack strings to end before pushing back offensively.
Use the terrain to your advantage, higher ground creates distance from his AoE, and he can even be pushed into the nearby river to drown.
Mono-Geo teams (Itto, Zhongli, Albedo) work especially well against him.

16. Rocky Avildsen

Location

Northeast of Weeping Willow, Fontaine. From the teleport waypoint northwest of Weeping Willow, head east and look for a small hut.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Rocky Avildsen

How to Defeat Rocky Avildsen

He's melee-focused and hits hard up close with AoE physical attacks, bring a shield or rely on dodging since his attacks are telegraphed.
Play aggressively but safely, dodge, punish, repeat, since he staggers easily despite his fast punches.
Nimble main DPS characters (like Neuvillette) or freeze teams (Wriothesley, Yelan, Shenhe) both handle him well.

17. Cineas

Location

Inside a large cavern under Clivus Capitolinus in the Sea of Bygone Eras, Fontaine. Requires progressing the Gradus ad Capitolium sub-quest of the Canticles of Harmony world quest chain to unlock.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Cineas

How to Defeat Cineas

Cineas starts with a Hydro armor that reduces incoming damage. Break it using Dendro or Pyro to trigger Bloom or Vaporize reactions.
Watch for its energy-leeching attack, it can drain your active character's Elemental Burst energy even through a shield. If your character has no energy, it damages HP instead.
A Hyperbloom-focused team works well here, since Cineas's own Hydro application sets up the reaction for you.

Genshin Impact - Natlan Local Legends

Natlan is currently home to 22 Local Legends worth tracking down, the most of any region. Below is a breakdown of each one's location, achievements, and how to take them down.

1. "He Never Dies"

How to Defeat "He Never Dies"

When it charges its one-hit KO attack, proc Overloaded as much as possible to interrupt and cancel the attack.
Since it's a small enemy, Overloaded's interruption effect can effectively juggle and stun it, opening a big damage window.
Overload-focused teams (Raiden/Chevreuse or Yoimiya/Chevreuse comps) handle this fight cleanly.

2. Ichcahuipilli's Aegis

Location

Huitztli Hill, Natlan. Solve the area puzzle to expose the Nightsoul Totem, then interact with it.

Defeat Ichcahuipilli's Aegis without being hit by any attacks.

How to Defeat Ichcahuipilli's Aegis

Watch for AoE Dendro attacks marked on the ground and avoid them.
If exiled, defeating up to 2 enemies grants a damage buff at the cost of continuous HP drain (shown as curse stacks); Hypercarry teams can usually handle the fight fine without needing this buff.
A green rift opens once exiled, giving you a way out if you'd rather skip the curse mechanic entirely.

3. Atlatl's Blessing

Location

Hidden underground near Tepeacac Rise, Natlan. Use a Tepetlisaurus to crawl the cave walls and reach the Nightsoul Totem.

Objectives / Achievements

Fought via Nightsoul Totem, so it can be repeated anytime without waiting for server reset.

4. Cihuacoatl of Chimeric Bone

Location

During the course of completing a single challenge, break all the grappling anchor points before the Cihuacoatl of Chimeric Bone exits the hovering state.
Defeat the Cihuacoatl of Chimeric Bone while she is in the hovering state.

How to Defeat Cihuacoatl of Chimeric Bone

Every few attacks, it summons three Dendro zip points to hang from, break these with Pyro, Electro, or Hydro reactions.
Bring ranged units (Bow characters or Electro units like Clorinde, Fischl, Yae Miko) since the zip points are hard to reach with melee.
Once all zip points are destroyed, it falls and gets staggered, giving you a free damage window.
Watch for its hit-and-run pattern, whenever it repositions with its grappling hook, be ready to dodge the follow-up attack.

5. Tlatzacuilotl

Location

Underground in Sulfurous Veins, Natlan. Use a Tepetlisaurus to attack the glowing gem and subsequent markers to open the cave and reveal the Nightsoul Totem.

Since it's fought via Nightsoul Totem, it can be repeated as many times as you want without waiting for server reset.

6. Chimalli's Shade

Location

Ancestral Temple, Natlan. A short glide from the nearby waypoint after interacting with the Nightsoul Totem.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Chimalli's Shade.

Freeze the bubbles it produces, then charge-attack them into Chimalli's Shade to deplete its shield.
When it summons pillars for a Hydro beam attack, freeze one and hide behind it to avoid the damage entirely.
Conserve stamina since you'll need it for repeated charge attacks; Kaeya's burst is a solid free option for applying Cryo without cooldown management.
If the shield isn't broken in time during its charging phase, it explodes for a one-hit KO, so stay on top of freezing and charging the bubbles.

7. Spirit of the Fallen Dawnstar

Location

Southwest of the Masters of the Night-Wind settlement, Tezcatepetonco Range, Natlan. Indwell a Qucusaur and use the Phlogiston Wind Tunnel on the cliffside for a faster route.

It periodically flies out of reach, encases nearby braziers in ice, and unleashes a heavy Cryo attack; break its Cryo shield with Pyro damage to force it down.
Ranged Pyro characters can proc Overload to knock it out of the air directly, the fastest way to ground it.
Without ranged Pyro, melt the ice off the surrounding braziers instead, this works but takes noticeably longer.

Location

West of the Flower-Feather Clan settlement, atop a butte in Quahuacan Cliff. Indwell a Qucusaur and use the Phlogiston Wind Tunnel to reach the top instantly.

Defeat Tupayo's Aid while they are hovering in the air.

How to Defeat Tupayo's Aid

Characters that can self-initiate Plunging Attacks skip the need to wait for the currents entirely.
In one attack variant, it floats with three rings around it; ride the currents up and pass through them to incapacitate it the same way.

10. Ironbeard

Location

11. Tupu's Lushness

Location

Eastern Atocpan Region, Natlan. Teleport southeast of the Statue of the Seven, then interact with the nearby Nightsoul Totem to enter the arena.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Tupu's Lushness.

Grab orbs during its charge-up phase to unlock a window of massive bonus damage.
Prevent orbs from reaching Tupu's Lushness itself, letting it collect them builds up its shield instead.

12. Reji

Location

Southeast corner of the Atocpan Region, Natlan. Interact with the Nightsoul Totem found right at the shore.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Reji.

Defeat Local Legend: Sappho Amidst the Waves.
Defeat Sappho Amidst the Waves without being hit by her Shattering Ice attacks.
Defeat Sappho Amidst the Waves without allowing any of the Cryo spray cans to explode.

How to Defeat Sappho Amidst The Waves

A straightforward fight; her only real mechanic is a Cryo canister thrown on the ground that creates a Cryo AoE field, break it with Pyro attacks.
Avoid fighting her in the rain since the Cryo field can perma-freeze you before you get a chance to destroy it with Pyro; reset the weather by skipping time or teleporting away and back if needed.
Pyro-driven Vaporize teams work best here since they consistently break the canister on contact.

14. Cocijo

Location

Ameyalco Waters, Natlan. Break all Electro Crystals around the circular arena south of the Toyac Springs Statue of the Seven using Pyro characters to summon it.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Cocijo.
Defeat Cocijo before he forms a Thunderthorn Shield.
Defeat Cocijo after the Thunderthorn Shield has been formed, and without any character having been hit by the Shield's reflected attacks.

How to Defeat Cocijo

It generates Electro shields throughout the fight, break them efficiently using Pyro-infused attacks.
Its spinning attack is very hard to dodge and drains stamina fast; standing on the nearby boulder outside the arena lets you attack safely since Cocijo can't climb up.
Its lightning storm attack still hits you even on the boulder, jump down and dodge properly when this move starts.
With Furina, you can also cheese the fight using a Koholasaur and her Elemental Skill to cycle Salon Members safely from a distance.

15. Polychrome Tri-Stars

Location

Near the pond atop the plateau west of the Goldflame Qucusaur Tyrant, Huitztli Hill, Natlan. Only spawns during the day, wait it out if it's nighttime.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Polychrome Tri-Stars.
Defeat Vasily first, then defeat the other members of the Polychrome Tri-Stars.
Defeat the Polychrome Tri-Stars within 10s of defeating the first member.

How to Defeat Polychrome Tri-Stars

Three enemies fight together: a Pyroslinger Bracer, Cryogunner Legionnaire, and Electrohammer Vanguard. Run around to separate them, the Electrohammer rushes you directly and isolates easily.
Take out the Pyroslinger first, its Pyro attacks trigger dangerous Overloaded and Melt reactions with the other two.
Stay alert against the Electrohammer specifically, its combo can break even a 51k HP Zhongli shield in two hits.
Each enemy has a post-KO attack (Cryo DoT circle, or exploding elemental balls), don't let your guard down after defeating one.
Keep the fight near their spawn point; taking it too far resets the encounter entirely.
Bring revival food just in case, given how punishing this fight can get.

16. Balachko

Location

Inside a cave west of the Sanctum of Rainbow Spirits domain, Natlan. Requires finding two "Keys to Somewhere" inside the cave (one on a rope, one in a metal cage) to open the gate.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Balachko.
During the course of completing a single challenge, defeat no targets besides the original body while Balachko is using Shadowblade Tactics.
During the course of completing a single challenge, defeat 3 copies in a row before Balachko can unleash Shadowblade Tactics.

How to Defeat Balachko

Keep moving from the start; his opening onslaught can KO an unprepared character but the attacks are mostly linear and dodgeable.
Watch for red attack lines, both Balachko and his clones throw shurikens along them.
When asked to find the real Balachko, look for the one throwing a flaming shuriken, his clones don't have it.
Avoid Pyro entirely; any other element works, with Electro being especially strong, since breaking him this way triggers a long stun window for free damage.

17. Bronzelock

Location

Ochkanatlan, Natlan. Two access routes: unlock the Spiritway at the Furnace of Fiery Embers east of Ochkanatlan by breaking all nearby Koholasaur Flowlight Targets, or progress the Ashen Realm world quest and fly to the Sky Island with a Qucusaur.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Bronzelock.
During the course of completing a single challenge, break Bronzelock's core 3 times.
Defeat Bronzelock after Bronzelock has increased RES to 4 different Elemental Types.

How to Defeat Bronzelock

One of the more straightforward Local Legends, bring your strongest team and treat it like an Abyss boss.
When it charges a heavy attack, hit its glowing head to cancel the charge and stun it, then unload your best damage combo during that window.

18. Rilai

Location

Southwest of Masters of the Night-Wind, Natlan. She's passive and only engages if attacked first.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legend: Rilai.
Defeat Rilai while Rilai is using "Fusion Nova."
Defeat Rilai while Rilai is using "Fusion Nova" and without being hit by the attacks.

How to Defeat Rilai

One of Natlan's hardest Local Legends, she can't be crowd-controlled and has heavy zoning and homing attacks, bring strong healers and shielders for a fight of attrition.
Sprint sideways to dodge her homing attacks rather than trying to outrun them straight on.
She occasionally substitutes herself with a bomb mid-melee and teleports away, avoid spamming attacks up close to reduce the risk of triggering it, and watch for the bombs she throws in a straight line.
During her Fusion Nova attack, she stays still while tracking your position with AoE Cryo strikes, keep moving to dodge, but use her immobility during this phase to land free damage.

19. "Battlegoat" and "Ironclaw"

Location

South of the Atocpan region, Natlan, a few meters east of the Deepfire Construct Artifact Domain. They're passive until attacked, so you have to strike first to start the fight.

Objectives / Achievements

Defeat Local Legends: Battlegoat and Ironclaw.
During the course of completing a single challenge, have Battlegoat's charge collide with Ironclaw's guard stance 2 times.
Defeat Battlegoat and Ironclaw at the same time by having Battlegoat's charge collide with Ironclaw's guard stance.

How to "Battlegoat" and "Ironclaw"

Watch for Battlegoat's charging attack, telegraphed by prediction lines that shift from red to yellow.
Bait that charge into hitting Ironclaw directly to damage both of them.
Repeat this enough times and Ironclaw starts glowing yellow; landing one more baited charge at that point deals massive damage to both and leaves them vulnerable for a short window.

20. The Peak

Geo-Pyro team comps handle both steps efficiently in one rotation.

How to Defeat The Last Survivor of Tenochtzitoc

Bring an Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged team, Electro characters paired with Ineffa work especially well for the latter.

In Phase 1, keep applying Electro and Hydro to trigger Electro-Charged/Lunar-Charged and fill the paralysis bar beneath its HP; once full, it transitions into a shielded Phase 2.
