Genshin Impact’s 5.5 update brings a fiery new challenge in the form of The Peak, a formidable Natlan Local Legend. This mutated Tatankasaurus boasts devastating fire attacks that can quickly overwhelm unprepared adventurers. But fear not! With the right strategy, you can conquer this behemoth and reap its valuable rewards.
Understanding The Peak’s Mechanics
The Peak’s primary tactic revolves around summoning pillars during its attacks. When these pillars appear, its horns ignite, significantly boosting its resistance. To weaken it, you must destroy these pillars.
Exploiting The Peak’s Weakness
- Pillar Destruction: The key to defeating The Peak lies in swiftly destroying the pillars it summons. Effective methods include:
- Utilizing Electro characters.
- Employing a Tatankasaurus (if applicable).
- Leveraging a Collective of Plenty character like Varesa or Iansan.
- Interrupting Saurian Stomp: When The Peak prepares its Saurian Stomp, focus all your efforts on breaking the giant pillars. This will stagger the beast, leaving it vulnerable and extinguishing the flames on its horns, allowing for significant damage output.
Rewards for Victory
Defeating The Peak yields valuable resources, including Juvenile, Seasoned, and Tyrant’s Fang, essential for ascending Natlan characters and weapons.
Claiming All 3 The Peak Achievements
Genshin Impact offers three achievements related to The Peak, each with its own Primogem reward:
- Tier 1: Defeat Local Legend: The Peak (5 Primogems)
- Tier 2: Defeat The Peak in its weakened state (10 Primogems)
- Tier 3: During a single challenge, prevent The Peak from unleashing its Saurian Stomp (20 Primogems)
While all three achievements can technically be achieved in a single fight, the game only grants one achievement per battle, in sequential order. Therefore, you’ll need to face The Peak at least three times, respecting its daily server reset respawn timer.
Achievement Strategy
The core strategy for all three achievements is consistent:
- Prioritize destroying the pillars when The Peak prepares its Saurian Stomp.
- This will ensure you consistently interrupt its special move and weaken it, fulfilling the achievement requirements.
Locating The Peak
The Peak resides on the northwest side of Atocpan. Simply teleport to the northwest waypoint and follow the path leading to a large arena where the formidable beast awaits.
By understanding The Peak’s mechanics, focusing on pillar destruction, and interrupting its Saurian Stomp, you can conquer this challenging Local Legend and claim its valuable rewards. Happy hunting!
