The Lava Dragon Statue is the latest world boss introduced in Genshin Impact, made available in the game’s 5.5 update. Located within the new Sacred Mountain of Tollan region, this formidable enemy drops essential materials needed for character upgrades, including those for Varesa. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to locate and defeat the Lava Dragon Statue boss effectively.
Locating the Lava Dragon Statue in Genshin Impact
The Lava Dragon Statue can be found just north of the Collective of Plenty and west of the Stone Steele Record domain, where adventurers can also face the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire. To reach it quickly, teleport to the Atocpan waypoint. From there, proceed down the path.
Look for a noticeable gap in the ground to your right. Drop down and utilize the Tatankasaur transformation to break through the wall. This will lead you to the arena where the Lava Dragon Statue resides. Be sure to activate the nearby waypoint for convenient fast travel after your battle.
Strategies for Defeating the Lava Dragon Statue Boss
The Lava Dragon Statue presents a straightforward challenge, lacking any particularly overpowering abilities. However, its resilience to Pyro attacks necessitates careful selection of your characters. Avoid using Pyro-based heroes unless you’re incorporating Bennett for his support capabilities, such as healing and buffs.
To successfully defeat the boss, aim to strike it from its sides while evasively dodging its lava attacks. Pay special attention to the pools of lava it creates, as standing in them will cause significant damage. Hydro characters, like Neuvillete, are most effective against the Lava Dragon Statue, allowing for quicker victories.
Rewards for Conquering the Lava Dragon Statue
Upon defeating the Lava Dragon Statue, you will receive the Sparkless Statue Core as a unique material, alongside valuable artifacts, Mora, and fragments of Agnidus Agate. It’s important to note that you will need to use 40 Resin to claim these rewards after the battle.
The loot you acquire will vary based on your World Level and inherent RNG mechanics, but reaching the maximum level guarantees at least two boss-related materials when claiming your rewards with Resin.
