HoYoverse has released a new weekly boss known as Apep, the Dragon of Verdure, located near the newly released desert area of Sumeru, Gavireh Lavajard. However, this new Trounce Domain is locked behind Nahida's second Story Quest act, Homecoming, and to start the quest, players need to fulfill a few requirements, which are:

• Adventure Rank 40 or above
• Complete Act 1 - Lingering Warmth of Nahida's Sapientia Oromasdis Chapter

Now fans must play the second act in Nahida's Story Quest chapter. During the quest, they will unravel new mysteries about the past of Sumeru, and encounter one of the oldest beings in Teyvat, Apep - the Dendro Dragon. Upon completing the story, a new underground Domain will automatically appear on the map allowing you to challenge this new weekly boss.

Like other Trounce Domains in Genshin Impact, fans can challenge the boss as many times as they want; however, the rewards can only be claimed once per week. Here is a complete list of all the item drops that can be obtained by defeating Apep:

• Nagudas Emerald Sliver/Fragments/Chunks/Gemstones
• Dreamsolvent
• Berserker set
• Instructor set
• The Exile set
• Gladiator's Finale set
• Wanderer's Troupe set
• Midlander Sword Billet
• Midlander Bow Billet
• Midlander Polearm Billet
• Midlander Claymore Billat
• Midlander Catalyst Billet
• Primordial Greenbloom
• Worldspan Fern
• Everamber

The last three items on the list are the newly released talent level-up materials. As previously mentioned, seven characters in the game require Apep's drops. Here is a list of all known characters that will require you to challenge the Dendro Dragon:

• Baizhu
• Kaveh
• Kirara
• Lyney
• Lynette
• Freminet
• Neuvillette

Collecting the rewards upon completing the Trounce Domain challenge will consume 60 Original Resins, or 30 Resins if it is one of the first three claims of the week.
