How To Beat Iniquitous Baptist In Genshin Impact
Before starting the fight with the Iniquitous Baptist, players can see some floating elements in the arena. They indicate what elements the boss will use during their next battle. So, players can easily adjust their party to counter the boss before starting combat.
The Iniquitous Baptist starts the fight by placing all their Elemental Rings around them. Players can destroy these rings by applying the correct Element on each Ring.
To destroy the Elemental Rings, here are the correct elements to apply:
- For Hydro Ring: Use Dendro
- For Pyro Ring: Use Hydro
- For Cryo Ring: Use Pyro
- For Electro Rings: Use Pyro
Meanwhile, the full chart looks like this (the first column represents the boss' Element, while the top row represents players' Element):
Element | Cryo | Hydro | Pyro | Electro | Geo | Anemo | Dendro |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cryo | - | - | S | A | B | B | - |
Hydro | A | - | B | - | B | B | S |
Pyro | B | S | - | A | B | B | - |
Electro | S | - | S | - | A | A | S |
During combat, Iniquitous Baptist will also summon an Elemental shield based on one of the three Elements they’re using. While shielded by one of the four Elements, Iniquitous Baptist will unleash attacks that are related to this Element. For example, if the boss summoned an Electro shield, they’ll only attack with Electro attacks. Each of these Elements has some unique attacks that are able to one-shot the active character if players aren’t careful. To destroy the Iniquitous Baptist’s Elemental shields, attack them with the same Elements used to destroy the Elemental Rings, such as attacking with Pyro to destroy Cryo or Electro shields.
It’s important to note that other Elements are still able to destroy the boss’s Elemental shields and Rings but not as effectively as Hydro, Dendro, and Pyro against all four of the boss’s Elements. So, eventually, The best party to create for this boss is a Burgeon team comp in Genshin Impact that can endlessly create Dendro Cores and explode them.
Once players destroy all three Elemental Rings or take down the Iniquitous Baptist’s shield, the boss will fall down and players will have a window of a few seconds to apply the most amount of damage they’re able to inflict, before the boss gets up again.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
