A dangerous opponent that can summon a Hurricane Sphere to deal sustained DMG. Try using the Wind Current generated in the center to swiftly leave the ground.

Protects itself with a cubical shell that is elementally inert. Has two states: Ignited and Extinguished. In the Ignited state, the Pyro Hypostasis's core is not exposed and it continuously regenerates HP. Only after Extinguishing it with the right elemental reactions will you have an opportunity to strike. In the Extinguished state, the Pyro Hypostasis will generate Fire Seeds in an attempt to re-ignite.

Protects itself with a cubical shell that is elementally inert. Attacks are only effective when its elemental core is exposed. When HP is low, it splits into three crystalline "water droplets" that will move towards its core. Destroy these water droplets in time to prevent the revival of the Hydro Hypostasis.

Elemental creatures who protect themselves from incoming attack with their durable shell. Find an opportune moment to land a blow to their elemental core. They are able to control their elemental orb in fights and restore their health when they feel threatened. If you fail to utilize the upcurrents to absorb these orbs, the battle will be significantly harder.

Protects itself with a cubical shell that is elementally inert. Attacks are only effective when its elemental core is exposed. When HP is low, it splits into three crystalline prisms that can absorb elemental energy. Make sure to destroy them all.

An elemental creature that protects itself from incoming attack with its durable shell. Find an opportune moment to land a blow to its elemental core. At critical moments, it will enter a Warded regenerative state, firing Frostfruit to attack its foes while restoring its own HP. Use Charged Attacks to redirect the Frostfruit back at the Cryo Hypostasis to swiftly knock it out of its regenerative state.

Elemental creatures who protect themselves from incoming attack with their durable shell. Find an opportune moment to land a blow to their elemental core. They are able to create Geo constructs in fights and restore their health when they feel threatened. You must be able to efficiently destroy these constructs if you want to defeat these creatures.

A hypostasis that uses an inert shell to defend itself. It now displays abnormalities due to having been corrupted by some unknown influence. You must seize moments where its elemental core is exposed to attack effectively. When it is in danger, it will release Restorative Piths that have the properties of Tri-Lakshana Creatures. Use Dendro to revive these Piths and induce a Normal State in them to continuously cleanse the Dendro Hypostasis, and use Electro to trigger their Activated state and speed up the cleansing process. Using Dendro attacks on the Dendro Hypostasis' core can also help to cleanse the creature. Complete the cleansing process to complete the challenge.

A noble elemental lifeform that dwells within bodies of pure water. In combat, it will expend and condense its life force into Hydro Mimics that attack its enemies. Although they are all aligned with Hydro, different elements that react with Hydro are effective against different Hydro Mimics. Defeat these Mimics rapidly to overcome the Oceanid with ease.

An elemental life form created as the avatar of thunderous indignation. It uses lightning attacks and its Strike Probes to lock on to its foes. If a locked-on target is present, the Thunder Manifestation will enter an enraged state and prioritize the annihilation of that target.

A formidable mechanical being found in the ruins. When suspended in mid-air, it is highly dangerous — but also exposes the core on its head.

While performing certain attacks, the Ruin Grader will expose the cores on its head and feet. If you can take advantage of that and promptly attack its cores, defeating it should be much easier.

A mysterious ruin machine that can reconfigure itself into various forms. In battle, the Perpetual Mechanical Array will enter the Absolute Defense state, in which it splits and summons several different kinds of Ruin Sentinels. After defeating the enhanced Ruin Sentinels, Absolute Defense state will be removed and it will enter a weakened state.

A ruin machine that can absorb energy and hurl it back as an attack. The Ruin Drake: Earthguard can periodically release a dangerous torrent of energy and increase its own Elemental RES against the previous main type of Elemental DMG it suffered.

Whenever this creature recovers from paralysis, it will switch between aerial and ground-attack forms.

These ancient machines, which come from the desert, are quite distinct from the Ruin Machines. In combat, these Primal Constructs will fire their components out while their cores enter an "invisible" state that hides them and increases their RES. Use Catalyze reactions to strike these cores or use Electro attacks on them during such times as the fired components have been destroyed and need to recover to cancel this invisibility and cause the cores to be immobilized due to excessive overclocking.

This ancient aggregation of machinery hails from the desert and has quirks that modern-day civilizations cannot comprehend. In battle, the Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network will fire its components out while its core enters an "invisible" state that hides it and increases its RES. Use Catalyze reactions to strike this core, or use Electro attacks on it during such times as the fired components have been destroyed and need to recover to cancel this invisibility and cause the core to be immobilized due to overclocking. If you fail to cancel the core's invisibility for too long, the Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network will begin to display its power by using a mighty overclocked attack...

Massive elemental plants that grow deep underground. They use their brightly colored flowers to lure in their prey, attacking anyone that treads too closely. Perhaps the fruit that appears like a Pyro core growing near their roots could be an effective means of dealing damage...

Carnivorous plants that use the alluring appearance of their flowers to deceive their prey. Their vine-like stalks are surprisingly tough to cut through. Perhaps the organ shaped like a Cryo core growing near their roots could be the key to defeating them...

A predatory plant in the same vein as the Cryo and Pyro Regisvines, this creature can create an organ that resembles Electro Cores at its roots or corolla. When this type of organ starts to shift, its state will change, condensing into either a Waxing Stamen or a Waning Stamen. When the two types of stamens are present at the same time, they will attract one another and then unleash a powerful electrical explosion when they make contact. Destroying these stamens quickly is key to an easier battle experience.

A small and very nimble lizard hatchling. When its attacks are deflected by a character with a shield, it seems to be paralyzed for a moment by the recoil...

A bulky, adult Geovishap. In one of its modes of attack, if it hits a character with a shield and fails to break the shield, it will be stunned for a moment by the recoil...

A Primo Geovishap awoken from a centuries-long slumber that can absorb different kinds of elemental power to unleash a Primordial Shower infused with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro. If this attack hits a character protected by a shield, the Primo Geovishap will take some DMG in return. If the shield's elemental type is Geo or it matches that of the Primordial Shower, the amount of reflected DMG will be increased...

A predator that lies in wait within the pitch-dark watery depths. It appears to have adapted to some unknown power out in the deep seas, such that it can use elements other than Hydro... When it faces strong foes, it will use its powerful Cleansing Shower. Characters hit by this attack will lose a certain amount of Elemental Energy. If they do not have sufficient Elemental Energy, they will lose HP.

An evolved Fungus. When it is hit by Electro attacks and Catalyze reactions, it will accumulate Activation. When it is hit by Pyro attacks, it will lose Activation progress. When it accumulates sufficient Activation, it will enter an Activated state. An activated Jadeplume Terrorshroom will unleash more fearsome attacks until it becomes exhausted. When it is not Activated, the Jadeplume Terrorshroom can be put into a Burning state via the use of Pyro, which will cause it to become Scorched. It will then spread spores around to create Fungi in an attempt to escape this status.

An apex predator deep in the desert that can use the power of Anemo to a certain extent, which allows it to leave the ground when in combat and enter a floating state. While floating, it can fire Windbite Bullets. If these bullets are not destroyed in time, they will be converted into a high-density curtain of such bullets. Attacks from elements that may react with Anemo can destroy Windbite Bullets, which will temporarily decrease the corresponding Elemental RES of the Setekh Wenut. After 2 Windbite Bullets are destroyed in succession, the Setekh Wenut will be brought down from its floating state.

Next up is a fantastical performance to be delivered by the clockwork meka Coppelia. At the climax of the performance, Coppelia will halt at the center of the dance floor and expose her artificed clockwork component charged with ousia, thereby drastically increasing the efficiency of her exertions and summoning countless whirlwinds of dirge. During this phase, using pneuma-imbued attacks will reduce her offensive capabilities and overload her, thus progressing the performance.

A machine created from the union between Fontaine's intricate device and special energy technologies. Based on whether it's imbued with ousia or pneuma energy, the machine will operate differently in battle. When either energy is annihilated upon being attacked by its opposite, an Overloaded state will be induced, causing the machine to lose energy and necessitating the use of emergency power to sustain low-end combat actions.

A machine created to complement the energy defects and increase the operational efficiency of clockwork meka. The ousia or pneuma energies have different enhancive effects, and this machine can also periodically generate energy, allowing it to replenish the power of nearby disabled clockwork meka that shares a similar energy source. After their energy is annihilated by an attack charged with the opposite signature, it will induce an Overloaded state and cause the machine to lose energy, requiring the machine to spend time on Self-Repairs before it can restore its energy generation functions.
