Information about the mechanism of the new Whale week boss in Genshin Impact 4.2 has been revealed. Accordingly, it can be seen that it will not be easy for players to use it as a ‘sandbag’ anymore.
At the end of Genshin Impact 4.1’s Demon God Mission, we can see Childe appearing with a whale-shaped entity. Many people think that this whale is related to him because it also appears in this Executive Officer’s moves. Now in version 4.2, this whale will become our new weekly boss at Fontaine.
MGN also posted an article about this week’s new boss showcase video. You can read that article again here. In the article below, we will talk about the mechanism and elemental resistance of the upcoming Strong Enemy to Remember.
Mechanism and elemental resistance of new weekly boss Genshin Impact 4.2
Boss’s elemental resistance
The Boss will have 3 states, so there are also differences in the elemental resistance index of each state.
– Whale: In this state, it is 10% resistant to all elements, but 70% resistant to the Water system.
– Phantom: The Phatom state is also 10% resistant to all elements, but 70% resistant to the Lightning system.
– Maelstrom’s Eye: 10% resistance to all elements, 30% resistance to Thao and Nham.
We can see that the boss above has a lot of similarities with our Executive Officer Childe when using the Lightning – Water system and the elemental resistance of these two systems is very high, up to 70%. However, many Genshin Impact gamers still think that even with elemental resistance, we still have characters that provide reduced elemental resistance like Kaedehara Kazuha or Zhongli so… it’s not that scary.
Whale boss fighting mechanism in Genshin Impact 4.2
Initially the boss will appear in Whale state. Through fighting to accumulate rage. When the rage reaches 120 points, it will devour you and teleport you to another dimension. The boss collects 1 rage point every second and every 1% of the boss’s HP lost will also add 1 rage point to it. Additionally, if Maelstrom’s Eye is destroyed, the boss will also gain 30 rage points.
In that space, you will face the boss in Phantom form in an illusion. To return to reality, we need to defeat it. After defeating the boss in Phantom state, the boss will lose 20% HP and all team members will recover 100 Elemental Energy.
Mechanism of the Eyes of Maelstrom
The mechanism of this Whale Week boss is different from other bosses. The highlight is that its status can be alternated between Whale and Phantom form. That means this week’s boss is not the type that after beating phase 1 will move on to phase 2 as we usually see.
Maelstrom’s Eyes also appear in battle in the Whale state, which will pull in characters and cause massive damage. To destroy the Eyes of Maelstrom, Genshin Impact gamers will need to attack 8 times or attack once with Pneuma or Ousia Foundation Power.
Phantom status takes up to 60% of the boss’s HP. As mentioned, the 2 states will appear alternately when eligible. In addition to owning a portion of the weekly boss’s HP, when the Phantom is defeated, 20% will be deducted directly from the weekly boss’s original HP bar.
Maelstrom’s Eye at this time (appearing in Phantom state) will launch many powerful attacks. Just using the right Pneuma or Ousia Foundation Power attacks at the right time will paralyze it and lose 25% of its HP.
