You can find the new overworld boss in Belleau Region, Fontaine. As shown in the image above, access these relevant teleport waypoints to visit the boss' spawn point. Those who have yet to unlock these waypoints can use the Aquabus to unlock the red teleport waypoint.

From here, head west and dive underwater to find a cave nearby. The entrance of the cave will be easy to spot and also has an open-world trial challenge which acts as a landmark.

Tips & tricks to defeat Emperor of Fire and Iron in Genshin Impact

As already mentioned, the Emperor of Fire and Iron boss has a strong defense. It has a twin horn on its head that grants a Pryo shield and the main body has 70% resistance to all attacks in Genshin Impact.

The strategy is pretty simple, as you will need to use Hydro or Cryo characters to quickly deplete the Pyro shield. This will break the twin horns of the boss, ultimately removing his resistance. It is also recommended that you use a shielder, as it can also contribute to breaking the shield quickly.
