Genshin Impact has introduced a new type of elite enemy called the Tainted Hydro Phantasms. After the release of the later version 4.0 update, this elemental lifeform can be found in parts of the Liyue and Fontaine regions. Based on the official description, Tainted Hydro Phantasms came from the waters of Fontaine and are a lesser form of Oceanids.

There are two types of Phantasms found roaming around alone or in pairs. Players will need to farm the materials dropped by them if they plan on upgrading Fontaine's 5-star and 4-star weapons. This article will cover everything players must know about Tainted Hydro Phantasm in Genshin Impact.
