Version 3.6 update for Genshin Impact features a new boss, Iniquitous Baptist, and players are wondering how to unlock and beat it. This is a unique boss since it can use three elements at the same time as a shield and for attacks. But first, you must find him. Since this boss is hidden underground, it can be a bit tricky to locate him. In this guide, we will tell you where to find and deal with the Iniquitous Baptist boss in Genshin Impact.
Where to Find Iniquitous Baptist Boss Location in Genshin Impact
To find Iniquitous Baptist in Genshin Impact, players must unlock the Gavireh Lajavard region of the Sumeru Desert by using the Statue of the Seven near the Temir Mountains. Then, go through the cave entrance near Tunigi Hollow and follow the path till you find a battle arena with three floating elements. Alternatively, you can also use the tunnel entrance at the Gate of Zulqarnain. Then, enter the arena to summon the boss.
How to Beat Iniquitous Baptist
As we mentioned, this boss uses three elements for attack and defense. It will use the elements in one of the following orders:
- Pyro, Frozen, Electro
- Frozen, Hydro, Pyro
- Electro, Pyro, Hydro
- Hydro, Frozen, Electro
To beat Iniquitous Baptist in Genshin Impact, you must first destroy its elemental shields. At the start of the fight, it will summon three Elemental Rings. Based on the elements, use Vaporize or Hyperbloom attacks to destroy them. This will depend on which elements it uses.
Once you destroy these elements, the Baptist will be paralyzed for mere moments. Use this opportunity to unleash heavy attacks on it. We recommend you use a Pyro character like Diluc to inflict heavy damage. Also, we recommend you keep Zhongli on your team to use as a shield.
Note that the Iniquitous Baptist has many strong attacks with high AoE damage. Apart from that, it also has long-range attacks like Water Orbs or Energy Blades. When you notice these attacks, run around him to avoid them.
To deal damage to this enemy, you’ll have to first destroy its shield. The shield bar is below its HP bar. Next to the shield bar, you can check its element. Based on that, select the characters and attacks to deplete it faster.
Once you beat this boss, you can get drops like Evergloom Ring, Varunada Lazurite Gemstone, Prayers for Wisdom, Wanderer’s Troupe, and more.
