There are four types of Breacher Primus in Genshin Impact; Large Shatterstone, Shatterstone, Large Overgrown, and Overgrown Breacher Primus. Keep in mind that all of the mentioned Abyss enemies have the same drops. Usually, the Breacher Primus are found in pairs, either two large ones, two small ones, or one big and one small.
The drops can be used to Ascend weapons like Fontaine’s forgeable weapons in Genshin Impact including Flowing Purity, Rightful Reward, and Tidal Shadow. As for the drops, there are three in total like any other enemy; Rift Core, Foreign Synapse, and Alien Life Core. Players who are seeking to collect the aforementioned drops can refer to this article for Breacher Primus locations and farming routes in Genshin Impact.
Breacher Primus Locations In Genshin Impact
There aren’t many Breacher Primus in Genshin Impact, so players might have a tough time finding them, especially the ones who live underground. The map layers mechanic will definitely come in handy when searching for these Abyss creatures.
It’s mostly common to encounter most forms of Breacher Primus while exploring Elynas in Genshin Impact. There are currently 16 Breacher Primus which means Travelers will find a total of eight pairs while exploring since the enemy likes to spawn in groups.
“A Very Warm Place” And “A Lonely Place”
Exploring the underground area near the Merusea Village which Melusines inhabit, leads players to fight two small Breacher Primus in “A Very Warm Place” and another two small enemies in “A Lonely Place”. To reach the latter, fast-travel to the Merusea Village Waypoint and go west toward Mamere's house in Genshin Impact. Next, descend the slope to find the enemies.
South Of Elynas
Get out of the underground area and travel to Elynas Waypoint. Glide down south and fight the two Breacher Primus; one is big and the other small. Next, head up the slope near the Condessence Crystals to spawn another two small Breacher Primus. Do note that the enemies won’t appear unless players approach the crystals in Genshin Impact.
North Of Elynas
Go to the Waypoint found northwest of the Elynas Waypoint, near one of the Beastly Rifts in Genshin Impact. To the north, there are two big Breacher Primus and two small Breacher Primus are found to the south. Finally, proceed north towards another Beastly Rift to fight four Breacher Primus, one of them being large while the rest are small.
The only noticeable difference between Overgrown Breacher Primus and Shattered Breacher Primus is that the former will put up a Dendro shield during one of its attacks while the Shattered version of the Breacher Primus puts up a Geo Shield in Genshin Impact. Weirdly enough, although Breacher Primus may seem like unsightly creatures which is understandable considering they hail from the Abyss, Melusines actually see these enemies as adorable and peaceful beings. That's probably because Melusines, in general, perceive things differently than humans, or for the fact that Elynas protect the Melusines with these creatures.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
