HoYoverse has released a new world boss known as Iniquitous Baptist, which is located in the newly released desert area of Sumeru, Gavireh Lavajard. Luckily, there are no pre-requirements to unlock this boss, so fans can simply head to this location and fight against the new enemy.

To find the Iniquitous Baptist, you're advised to first unlock the new map by interacting with the Statue of the Seven that's located near the Temir Mountains. Doing so will light up the entire left side of the new map, as seen in the image above.

You must then head to the Gate of Zulqarnain by following the road on the map, which will lead you straight to a cave entrance. Don't forget to unlock the teleport waypoints along the way to reach the boss faster next time. Enter the tunnel and follow the path until you see the boss area. To challenge this boss, you simply have to enter the arena, which will summon the Iniquitous Baptist.

Similar to other overworld bosses in Genshin Impact, you'll need 40 Original Resin to claim the rewards after defeating the Iniquitous Baptist. For those unaware, this new boss is from the Abyss Order and is capable of using four different elements in battle. Furthermore, the Iniquitous Baptist can also deploy an elemental shield depending on his phase, making him a rather troublesome enemy to defeat.

Here's a list of all the item drops that can be obtained by challenging this new boss:

• Evergloom Ring
• Varunada Lazurite Sliver/Fragments/Chunks/Gemstones
• Shivada Jade Sliver/Fragments/Chunks/Gemstones
• Agnidus Agate Sliver/Fragments/Chunks/Gemstones
• Vajrada Amethyst Sliver//Fragments/Chunks/Gemstones
• Berserker set
• Instructor set
• The Exile set
• Prayers for Wisdom set
• Prayers to Springtime set
• Prayers for Illumination set
• Prayers for Destiny set
• Gladiator's Finale set
• Wanderer's Troupe set

The Evergloom Ring is a brand new boss drop that's used as character ascension material. Currently, there are no units in Genshin Impact that require this item for their ascension. However, based on reliable leaks, it's speculated that fans will need the Evergloom Ring to ascend Baizhu in the upcoming second phase of version 3.6.
