How to defeat the Tenebrous Papilla in Genshin Impact 5.3 Spiral Abyss

Currently, players hoping to get the coveted 36 stars in the Genshin Impact 5.3 Spiral Abyss must defeat the boss in the second half of Floor 12's Chamber 3. While defeating this monster is as simple as dealing a lot of damage to it, there is a special defense mechanism that makes things tricky. Tenebrous Papilla is capable of protecting itself with a shield that blocks all incoming damage.

To counter this, players must break the shield, denoted by a white bar below the enemy's health bar, by using Nightsoul-aligned attacks or elemental reactions. However, doing so with the former is much easier. As such, Natlan characters will shine in the battle against Tenebrous Papilla in Spiral Abyss.
