Players looking to level up their characters will soon find out that some of the most important aspects of the game are frequent boss battles. These encounters yield rewards required to ascend each character to a higher level range. Depending on their Elemental specialization and other factors, eachGenshin Impactcharacter needs different ascension materials that get dropped by bosses. This is why it is crucial for players to frequently engage with all the bosses present in the game, and have a party setup that will make the fight as smooth and straightforward as possible.
Updated July 15, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah: The ever-increasing number of characters in Genshin Impact is always accompanied by new bosses that provide the said characters' ascension materials. In general, the rule of thumb is that every new area would have at least one new boss. This pattern can be seen even as far as version 1.5, where the Cryo Hypostasis was added as a boss in Genshin Impact’s 1.2 Dragonspine. Since the map of Teyvat is slowly expanding, it’s no surprise that there are plenty more of these elite enemies in the open-world. Therefore, this article is updated to include short tips on how players can easily defeat each of the bosses.
22Setekh Wenut
Like the Ruin Serpent, theSetekh Wenut also spends its time underground, so it’s best to not use units that rely on Elemental Burst like Xiao or Itto. The boss can be stunned by exploding the Windbite Bullets it summons. When the prompt appears, useCryo, Hydro, Pyro, or Electroto hit the Bullets. For this task, players can either use a ranged-unit like Ganyu or Kujou Sara, or use characters that have a large AoE, like Raiden Shogun’s Burst.
21Dendro Hypostasis
Once its HP is low,the Dendro Hypostasis will attempt to revive itself. To stop this, players musthit the wilted plant with Dendro to revive it, then use Electro to activate it. It’s possible to just hit the plant with Dendro, but the process will be much faster with Electro. Due to the need for a Dendro hit, it’s best to use Nahida as Catalyst users can manipulate Element on their basic attack.

Thebest way to beat the ASIMONis by utilizing the Quicken reaction. Raiden Shogun and Nahida are a great pair, especially if the two reach their C2. To beat the boss easily,once it turns invisible, players should look for its location and hit it with a Quicken reaction. If the enemy has a Quicken debuff, a visual cue of “electricity” will remain on the invisible boss, making it easier to find. Yae Miko’s Fox Turret would often auto-aim at the invisible foe.
19Aeonblight Drake
Although often underestimated, Nilou Bloom team is actually immensely powerful and canbeat the Aeonblight Drakebefore it even tries to fly. However, if for some reason players manage to do this feat, then it’s recommended tobring a ranged unit to shoot the boss' weak point. This will cause the machine to fall from its flying state.
17Electro Regisvine

Electro Regisvine’s weak point will start on the head, so it’s best to bring a ranged character like Ganyu, Tighnari, or Yoimiya.The boss will also spawn a stamenon the battlefield each time it generates its weak point,which should be destroyed via an Elemental reaction. If the stamen isn’t removed, once the boss moves its weak point, thetwo stamens will meet and create a deadly explosion.
16Ruin Serpent
Ruin Serpent would spend a lot of time buried underground, so it’s best to not use characters that require running around to reach the enemy. Players can use DPS like Ganyu or Tighnari for this job. Some sample team comps includeGanyu + Shenhe + Kazuha + BennettorFischl + Tighnari + Kujou Sara + Raiden Shogun.
Theboss can be defeated without any special method, butif it ever tries to draw power from surrounding Oozing Concretions, players should use their Lumenstone Adjuvant to remove the filth, which will stun the boss.
15Coral Defenders (Bathysmal Vishap Herd)
TheCoral Defender comes in pair, and they don’t really have a weakness. Nevertheless, there are some things players can keep in mind before jumping into a fight with them:
14Golden Wolflord
The key todefeating Golden Wolflordis having a Geo unit to defeat itsRifthound Skulls,which will remove the boss’s shield.Any Element can do this job, but Geo is the most effective.

For DPS, Travelers need units that can do ranged attacks. Golden Wolflord will constantly fly out of melee reach, so a bow user like Ganyu orCatalyst unit like Ningguangis the best option. Other than that, players will also want a dedicated healer to deal with the Corrosion debuff. Barbara is amazing for this job.
13Thunder Manifestation
Just like the Golden Wolflord, this Electro boss is also very jumpy. So for main DPS, players shouldopt for either bowor catalyst character.
This boss constantly deals large Electro damage when it’s enraged, so a shielder like Zhongli will go a long way. Meanwhile, for healers, players should avoid characters that apply Elements. For example, Barbara will cause Travelers to be Electro-Charged, whileBennett’s Pyro self-application may cause constant Overload. Diona, on the other hand, is the safest healer for this boss.
