Learn how to defeat the Raiden Shogun in Genshin Impact during the Amidst Stormy Judgment quest. Get tips on dodging attacks and surviving the unwinnable battle.
Alright, so you've made it to the Amidst Stormy Judgment quest in Genshin Impact. This one's a bit of a doozy, but don't worry, I'll walk you through it. It all starts with a bad feeling at Komore Teahouse.
Walkthrough
- 1Head back to Komore Teahouse: The next day, make your way back to Komore Teahouse in Inazuma City. It's going to be eerily quiet, which is your cue that something's up. You'll find Ayaka there, looking for Thoma. Turns out, the Tenryou Commission nabbed him, and rumors say the Raiden Shogun is holding a Vision Hunt Ceremony at the Statue of the Omnipresent God today. Ayaka thinks Thoma's the 100th Vision seized, and the Shogun wants to make a spectacle of it. You'll step in and tell Ayaka you've got this, since Thoma's your friend too.
- 2Go to the Vision Hunt Ceremony: Your next stop is southeast of your current location, heading for the Statue of the Omnipresent God. This is where you'll find Thoma in chains, just waiting for the Raiden Shogun. You'll intervene, which is great, but it also reveals your ability to use elemental energy without a Vision. The Raiden Shogun isn't happy about this and decides you're going to be her next example, meaning you have to fight her.
- 3Defeat the Raiden Shogun: Now, here's the kicker: this fight is unwinnable. Seriously, don't stress about dealing massive damage. Your goal is just to chip away at her health until she reaches about 20-25% HP. That's when a cutscene will trigger. She's still a tough opponent, though, with some seriously high-damage attacks, especially if you're playing aggressively.
Tips
- Keep your distance: Maintain a good gap between you and the Raiden Shogun. This gives you much-needed space to dodge her attacks.
- Attack windows: When she pauses to recover stamina, that's your chance to go in with your strongest attacks, like Elemental Bursts if they're ready.
- Watch out for her moves: She's got quick slash attacks, will teleport to you for a triple slash, and can create a large shockwave around herself. She also has an attack where she lifts her arms and slams down a shockwave in front of her – be ready to dodge sideways.
- Electro Orbs: As the fight progresses, she'll summon three electro orbs. You absolutely need to destroy one of them quickly to avoid a massive AoE attack.
- The Arena Change: Once you've dealt enough damage, the arena will shift, and your attacks will be blocked. At this point, just focus on staying on the outer edge, sprinting in a loop, and dodging her teleportation attacks. Keep avoiding her hits until the cutscene plays.
Don't get discouraged by the unwinnable nature of this fight. Just focus on surviving and dealing the required damage, and you'll get through it to the next part of the story!
