How to Unlock the Thunder Manifestation Boss in Genshin Impact?
To unlock the Thunder Manifestation boss in Genshin Impact, you need to complete the ‘Seirai Stormchasers’ world quest series located on Seirai Island in Inazuma. This quest leads you to investigate ongoing events, ultimately allowing you to defeat the Thunder Manifestation and make it appear on your map.
During the Seirai Stormchasers quest line, you will encounter warding stone puzzles. Here’s how to solve them:
- Part 1: Rotate the bottom stone twice.
- Part 2: Rotate the top stone three times.
- Part 3: Rotate the top stone three times and the bottom stone five times.
- Part 4: Rotate both the top and bottom stones twice each.
Once you have completed Part IV of the series, the Thunder Manifestation’s location will unlock and become visible on your map. Thunder Manifestation, the Electro variation of the Oceanid, is a Normal Boss challenge found in Amakumo Peak, Seirai Island, Inazuma. It will require 40 Original Resin to claim its rewards.
Importantly, you must also achieve the Inazuma: The Islands of Thunder and Eternity – Series II achievement to unlock the Thunder Manifestation boss fight.
Strategies for Defeating the Thunder Manifestation
Defeating the Thunder Manifestation is part of your last Seirai Stormchasers quest chain. You should be able to complete regular encounters with it for ascension materials.
The Thunder Manifestation resembles the Oceanid; however, it is not as frustrating or difficult. There are two phases to the fight:
- First Phase: A series of lightning strikes to dodge while chipping away at the creature’s HP.
- Second Phase: The boss becomes mobile with swooping, charging, and lightning attacks.
Many of its skills are similar to those of the Anemo boss faced outside of Mondstadt. It is important to note that the Thunder Manifestation is immune to Electro damage. Therefore, avoid bringing any of your electro carries if you’re relying on that burst.
This boss has two hidden achievements:
- Love and Non-Communication: The harder of the two, requiring you to avoid getting hit by its attacks to avoid being ‘locked on to’ in the fight. Ranged characters like Ganyu can make this easier.
- Thunder Fall: Complete this achievement by defeating the boss mid-dive attack.
The Thunder Manifestation has low resistance to every other element. It moves a lot and rarely stays at a low height long enough for close-range characters to inflict significant damage. Therefore, using Bow and Catalyst s is essential.
The boss is affected by Electro most of the time, making elemental reactions with Dendro, Pyro, or Cryo more effective. Additionally, the Thunder Manifestation has a rage meter that fills up when you get hit or deal damage. When filled, it will switch to more aggressive attacks and will target specific players in multiplayer, allowing you to lure it for easier targeting by others.
To maximize your chances, consider the following:
- Avoid hitting it on the head unless you are confident in your aiming skills, as it moves frequently. Causing elemental reactions is a more effective strategy.
- Stay at a distance to dodge most of its attacks. You can run through the electro wall attack as you are invincible for a few frames at the beginning of your running animation.
- Observe the ground for indications of where attacks from the sky will land, such as the electro cage.
To unlock the Thunder Manifestation Boss fight, complete the Seirai Stormchasers questline, available after reaching Inazuma City post-Ritou in the main quest. The Thunder Manifestation, an Entity of Pure Electro energy, possesses twice the HP of Lochfolk and has swift attacks that can be frustrating. It is essential to target its weak point, the head, to guarantee critical damage. However, players might find this challenging due to the boss’s high mobility.
In summary, a well-balanced party composition is crucial. Players have expressed frustration with ill-equipped teams, so utilizing characters with strong ranged attacks can help avoid the boss’s fast-paced assaults while maximizing damage output effectively.
Understanding the Warding Stone Puzzles and Their Role in Boss Unlocking
In Genshin Impact, the Warding Stone puzzles are essential for unlocking the boss fight against the Thunder Manifestation. These puzzles are part of the Seirai Stormchasers Quest, which starts by talking to Eiko and Taisuke near the first Warding Stone. Completing this quest is necessary to access the Thundering Manifestation.
To solve the puzzles, follow these steps:
- For the first Warding Stone, rotate the bottom three times. There is no need to rotate the top. Completing this will highlight the next Warding Stone on your map.
- To reach the third Warding Stone, head east of the Statue of the Seven and talk to Taisuke. Use the phase gate beside him to get to a platform with an Electrogranum. Ride it to the Third Warding Stone while touching all paper charm hangars along the way.
- Once at the third Warding Stone, make sure to touch all the paper charms around it. After this, rotate the top three times and the bottom five times to solve the puzzle.
- After reaching the final Warding Stone, touch the paper charms around it again. Then, turn the stone’s top part two times and the bottom part two times to finish the quest.
Upon completing the puzzle at the final Warding Stone, prepare for a boss fight as the Thundering Manifestation will be the last part of the quest.
In summary, to unlock the Thunder Manifestation boss in Genshin Impact 2.1, players must complete the Seirai Stormchasers World Quest by sealing the Warding Stones scattered across Seirai Island. Sealing the Warding Stones involves rotating them three and five times, respectively. After activating the relevant paper seals, players should teleport back to the Warding Stone. When the paper charms on the Warding Stone match their corresponding poles, they will start glowing red.
