Local Legend

Last updated 2026-09-01

Local Legends are special mini-boss enemies first introduced in Fontaine and are now found in several nations.

Overview

Most Local Legends are enhanced versions of Common or Elite Enemies with greatly increased stats, using improved or new attacks not found from their normal variant. Some of these Local Legends may not have an equivalent but fall under Special Enemies, such as Liam and Cocijo.

The majority of Local Legends are immediately accessible to the player, with a few exceptions which require full or partial completion of a World Quest. Some Local Legends may also have a barrier which prevents the player from leaving until all of their party members falls to it, they kill it, or teleport out of the surrounding area.

Defeating these enemies grants significant amounts of Mora, experience, and if applicable, Character and Weapon Enhancement Materials over their normal variants. Special wildlife Local Legends, who don't have corresponding material drops, will instead drop foodstuffs such as meat and berries.

Variants of Local Legends, known in-game as Veteran or Battle-Hardened, can be found in various game modes, such as the Spiral Abyss, Imaginarium Theater, Stygian Onslaught and other special circumstances. These enemies share the same mechanics as Local Legends, but their stats are usually lower due to the time-sensitive nature of the content they feature in.

Defeating each Local Legend for the first time grants an achievement, except for the Local Legends released since Luna I, which were reworked into the Valiant Chronicles system.

List of Local Legends

See corresponding achievement pages under the achievements section for gameplay notes on each Local Legend.

Mondstadt

Liyue

Fontaine

The Local Legends Mageblade Corrouge, Deianeira and Cineas are not initially accessible, instead requiring a corresponding World Quest that must be completed in order to access them.

Underwater

Due to the different attack mechanics while Diving, all Fontainian underwater Local Legends have weaknesses that can be exploited using certain Xenochromatic Creature attacks to make them lose percentage-based HP and/or interrupt their attacks.

Land

Natlan

Unlike previous nations, most Natlanese Local Legends each have two additional achievements for fulfilling certain additional requirements; these achievements have to be done successively with each new spawn — it is not possible to get two achievements in a single encounter. Their achievements are found under the Duelist: Series I, Duelist: Series II, and Duelist: Series III achievement categories rather than the Wonders of the World category used by the previous Local Legends. The only exception to this feature is The Last Survivor of Tenochtzitoc.

All Local Legends, except Infinitesimal, are immediately accessible to the player.

Night's Trials

These Local Legends are accessed through Nightsoul Totems to take part in challenge fights called Night's Trials. Upon teleporting to "Atlatl's Blessing," the player is forced to use their Traveler. Other Night's Trials retain the team the player was using.

Overworld

Nod-Krai

The Local Legends Sigurd, Crab Tsar, Raskolnikov, Prism Slime, and Mushteshir are not initially accessible, instead requiring a corresponding World Quest that must be completed in order to fight them. The other Local Legends do not have this restriction.

Temple of Space

The Local Legend "Maha Vasudevayaputra" is not initially accessible, instead requiring partial completion of the World Quest Unofficial Chronicle of the Desert Pavilion before being accessible.

Snezhnaya

All Local Legends are not initially accessible, instead requiring completion of the Archon Quest Gunfire in the Silent Lands. Bandersnatch additionally requires partial completion of Great Deeds on the Tundra.

Trivia

  • While most Local Legends become aggravated the same way most enemies do, there are a few that are initially passive until the player attacks them, or when nearby wildlife are attacked or caught with an Omni-Ubiquity Net: Battlegoat and Ironclaw, Rilai, Sappho Amidst the Waves, and Hiljetta. Maha Vasudevayaputra is trapped in a display case and can only be fought by speaking to Mardava.
  • The Fairy Knight Twins and the Swords of the Gorge all have "Life Evolved by the Fontemer" as their subtitles, which will become visible if only one member of a pair is aggravated. This is possible if the other member has not yet loaded in.
  • The title "Giant Enemy Crab" is likely a reference to a memetic line said at E3 2006 during the video game showcase of Genji: Days of the Blade.
  • The Fatui Skirmishers' title "Polychrome Tri-Stars" is likely a reference to the Black Tri-Stars in the Mobile Suit Gundam series.
    • Their codenames, Vasily, Nomokonov, and Sidorenko, reference various Soviet soldiers during World War II.
    • Similarly to the Fairy Knight Twins and the Swords of the Gorge, their subtitles are only seen after one of the three are left remaining, though the name is randomized with each spawn.
  • The lutenist "Sappho Amidst the Waves" and the flautist "Rilai" are likely friends who meet up at Pilgrimages to play music and exchange songwriting tips.[1][2] When you approach them, the normal background music is silenced, and you hear their playing instead.
  • Before the introduction of Local Legends, some enemies used the same concept of a unique, repeatable enemy that is a more powerful version of an existing NPC type. Enemies such as The Great Snowboar King and "Masanori" may have inspired the creation of Local Legends.
