This challenging boss not only requires considerable strategy to defeat but also offers an array of achievements that may take players nearly three days to complete. Players should be prepared for intense combat as The Peak inflicts high damage and has unique combat mechanisms that increase its difficulty.
This guide delves into essential strategies for defeating The Peak, details its location, and provides valuable tips for success in Genshin Impact.
Strategies for Conquering The Peak in Genshin Impact 5.5
Finding The Peak’s Location
To encounter The Peak, teleport to the designated waypoint displayed in the image above. Upon arrival, you will face two distinct paths: one ascending to the mountain summit and the other descending. Opt for the pathway leading upwards, and you will soon reach the area where The Peak Local Legend resides.
Combat Techniques Against The Peak
Engaging The Peak presents various challenges, particularly due to its ability to gain elemental resistance under certain conditions. At the outset, The Peak will summon four small pyro rocks. Failing to dismantle these will grant the boss increased resistance, making it more challenging to defeat. Utilize an Electro character or harness a Tatankasaur indwelling for breaking these initial rocks.
Subsequently, The Peak will summon three larger pyro rocks, which can only be destroyed by Varesa, Iansan, or other Tatankasaurs. Importantly, breaking these larger rocks will immobilize The Peak, providing players a critical opportunity to deal damage. Adhere to the strategy of eliminating these rocks promptly, as neglecting this task enables the boss to acquire more elemental resistance while boosting its attack power.
Expert Tips for Defeating The Peak
To enhance your success rate against The Peak, consider the following strategies:
- Ensure your party includes an Electro character such as Varesa or Iansan. If lacking these characters, transform into a
Tatankasaurto easily access the arena during the fight. - Prioritize breaking the rocks spawned by The Peak and maintain a full Phlogiston bar before initiating combat.
- Practice dodging The Peak’s attacks, as they can inflict significant damage. Alternatively, utilize shielded characters like Zhongli, Citlali, or Lan Yan for added protection.
