Recent leaks surrounding Genshin Impact indicate an exciting addition to the game in the form of a new Weekly Boss, expected in the upcoming Version 5.6 update. Players will encounter a multi-stage battle that sets itself apart from previous bosses. Recent examples, like Fontaine’s “All-Devouring Narwhal,” have brought unique combat mechanics, while Natlan’s “Lord of Eroded Primal Fire”has emphasized the advantages of utilizing Natlan character abilities. This latest leak is generating anticipation for the upcoming boss battles.
Weekly Bosses in Genshin Impact function as essential resources for players aiming to enhance their characters. Specifically, materials acquired from these bosses enable players to elevate a character’s Talents beyond Level 6. However, farming these bosses comes with limitations, as players are only allowed to earn rewards from each boss three times per week. With the game reportedly introducing a new Weekly Boss, players are eager for the details and new strategies it will bring.
Announcement of a New Weekly Boss
Weekly Boss in Genshin Impact. This formidable foe will introduce a multi-phase combat experience, initiating with a battle against a “King Piece”followed by a “Queen Piece.”In the subsequent phase, players will tackle both the “Ascended King”and “Sublimated Queen,”where players must defeat both in quick succession to prevent resurrecting one. The leak also reveals a unique Ult mechanic that requires players to charge a Progress bar using Cryo attacks and Freeze reactions to avoid immediate defeat.





Details of the Game Before the Gate
- Phase 1: Engage the King Piece first, followed by the Queen Piece.
- Phase 2: Challenge both the Ascended King and the Sublimated Queen at once. If one Piece is defeated, it may revive or significantly boost the damage dealt by the other.
- Ultimate: Players must charge a Progress bar to prevent an instant kill by using Cryo DMG. Activating Freeze grants extra progress while Pyro DMG decreases progress significantly. Failing to fill the Progress bar will result in an instant character defeat, ignoring both Shields and Burst Invincibility.
The introduction of the new Weekly Boss looks to empower Cryo characters, especially following community feedback regarding the Element’s diminishing effectiveness due to the introduction of Dendro. Many players have pointed out that Cryo is one of the few Elements that does not interact with Dendro mechanics. Moreover, recent leaks suggest that HoYoverse might be looking into enhancing the Cryo Element, perhaps by introducing a new Cryo-Dendro Elemental Reaction.
Version 5.6 promises to roll out a diverse array of content for Genshin Impact enthusiasts, including the much-anticipated Cryo-Dendro Reaction and the new Weekly Boss. Although HoYoverse has yet to officially unveil the upcoming characters, leaked information hints at the possibility of adding Escoffier and Ifa as new gameplay units. Additionally, speculations point towards a potential return to Mondstadt, where players may encounter the new Weekly Boss and get a teaser of the forthcoming Nod-Krai, setting the stage for significant developments in the game’s overarching narrative.
