5 annoying bosses to defeat in Genshin Impact

1) Lord of Eroded Primal Fire

Lord of Eroded Primal Fire is a Weekly boss recently introduced in version 5.3. It became one of the most annoying bosses to deal with in Genshin Impact due to its mechanics. To tackle some of its shields, you will require characters who can utilize the Nightsoul's Blessing state.

Moreover, the boss deals a lot of damage and has an eroded mechanism, which deals damage even through shields. Thus, you might also require a healer when fighting this enemy. During battle, the boss summons three pillars that are easily broken with Natlan characters.

Due to these restrictions and mechanisms, this boss is considered extremely annoying.

The Secret Source boss is another annoying boss from Natlan, requiring specific characters to deal with it. Initially, it has a lot of Elemental Res, which can only be reduced after breaking its mechanism. But to break this, you will require Natlan characters.

You could also wait for the boss to go into its charging mode, although this will take longer than using Natlan units. During this phase, the enemy will summon two pillars — you need to use characters like Mavuika, Citlali, Xilonen, Kachina, Kinich, Kazuha, and Lan Yan to get on top of these pillars and break the mechanisms. After this, the boss will get immobilized and lose all its resistance for 15 seconds.

Golden Wolflord was a boss introduced during the Inazuma version. It is still one of the most annoying enemies to fight in the game. This enemy applies a Corrosion stack when it hits characters, dealing damage even through shields.

Also, you require ranged characters like Neuvillette, Lyney, Ganyu, Tighnari, and Fischl to deal damage to it, as it flies over the arena. Moreover, Geo characters are essential for dealing with the boss's mechanism and immobilizing it.

4) Tenebrous Papilla

This is another boss from the Natlan region that requires a specific team composition or units to defeat. Tenebrous Papilla creates a shield, requiring either Nightsoul-aligned attacks or Elemental reactions, which hit many times like Hyperbloom or Burning, to deal with it effectively.

If you are unable to tackle this shield, it gains high Elemental Resistance while dealing significant damage to the active character. Although you could escape the range of this skill, this enemy still has high Resistance. Furthermore, it mimics other bosses in the game and deals a lot of damage.

5) Oceanid

Oceanid is one of the earliest bosses in the game, but is still difficult to deal with to date. Unlike other bosses on this list, you cannot one-shot it with any DPS characters. This enemy has multiple stages, and defeating it through standard methods is not possible.

Oceanid summons Hydro Mimics — defeating these enemies will deal damage to the boss. Thus, you cannot one-shot the boss with any character. These Mimics also deal considerable damage and can be annoying to deal with.
