As announced by the developers, Genshin Impact will get six new QoL features soon, and one of them is the ability to track boss' locations on the map. This is a feature that had been highly requested by the playerbase for a long time. Farming bosses for character leveling-up and weapon upgrades is an integral part of Genshin Impact, and new bosses are continuously added to the game.

Up until now, no separate feature for automatically tracking the locations of new bosses existed — you could only do that once you had manually located and unlocked the enemy yourself.

Starting from Genshin Impact 5.5, players will be able to directly track the locations of boss enemies on the map, even if the surrounding area has not been explored before. Once the new version goes live, you can track a new boss' location directly using the Adventurer's Handbook or the map.

To do so, simply click on the boss' icon on the map (or in the Adventurer's Handbook), and choose the "Track and Guide" option. Once done, a path marking the route to it will be created for you.

In case the boss enemy is located near a Teleport Waypoint that you have not yet unlocked, the path to unlocking the waypoint will also be outlined for you. You can follow the path and first unlock the Teleport Waypoint before moving further onwards and finally reaching the location.

This new feature will be extremely helpful for many players who often find themselves unable to reach a boss, especially if their location is deep underground, or at the end of a maze of tunnels. Keep in mind that this feature will only be available for certain bosses in Genshin Impact 5.5, with the feature being added for more of them in future updates.
