Challenge Objectives
  • Defeat powerful foes on 3 battlefields
Ley Line Disturbance
  • Exalted Ones will receive an Eminent Boon
Opposing Lineup
Enemy Descriptions
Icon Stygian Onslaught Advantage Lunar Reaction DMG
  • During battle, the powerful foe will deploy a protective Shield. Lunar Reaction DMG is more effective at destroying this Shield. When the Shield is destroyed, the opponent takes a single instance of immense DMG and temporarily enters a weakened state.
  • During battle, the powerful foe will enter a charging state and summon multiple Fishers of Hidden Depths. Once it has fully charged, it will devour all Fishers and deal DMG over a large AoE. Defeat Fishers before this happens to destroy its shield and interrupt its charging.
Icon Stygian Onslaught Advantage Icon Stygian Onslaught Electro-Charged reactions | Element Electro characters
  • While the opponent is preparing to activate Thundering Suite, focus on breaking the triple-layer Experimental Multi-Shield that they deploy, as this will prevent the suite's activation. The Shield will periodically repair itself. Electro-Charged and Lunar-Charged DMG are more effective at destroying the Shield. Each layer of the Shield that is destroyed will cause a single instance of massive damage to be dealt to the opponent, while generating additional Elemental Orbs.
  • When Thundering Suite is activated, it will deal Electro DMG over a large AoE and unleash continuous Electro attacks. If you successfully prevent the suite's activation, the opponent's Electro RES will be greatly decreased.
Icon Stygian Onslaught Advantage Element Hydro characters, Icon Stygian Onslaught Disadvantage Element Pyro characters
  • While the powerful foe's twin molten horns remain intact, it can unleash fiercer elemental attacks and will possess exceedingly high All Elemental and Physical RES. When unleashing certain attacks, its twin molten horns will stay close to the ground, providing an opportunity to use Elemental Reactions to destroy them. Once the twin molten horns are destroyed, the foe will take a single instance of immense DMG and will be unable to restore them for a period of time.

Icon Stygian Onslaught Advantage Lunar Reaction DMG
  • Affected by the Ley Line disturbance, the powerful opponent will deploy an extremely durable protective shield. Lunar Reaction DMG is more effective at destroying this shield.

When the shield is destroyed, the opponent takes a single instance of immense DMG and temporarily enters a weakened state.
  • Affected by the Ley Line disturbance, the powerful foe will enter a lengthy charging state and summon multiple Fishers of Hidden Depths. Once it has fully charged, it will devour all Fishers and deal DMG over a large AoE. Defeat Fishers before this happens to destroy its shield and interrupt its charging.

  • Affected by the Ley Line disturbance, the powerful foe will summon Sternshield Crabs to assist during battle. Sternshield Crabs continuously channel Pyro to the twin molten horns. Once their Pyro is exhausted, the Sternshield Crabs will be defeated. Once a Sternshield Crab is defeated, it will lose control and collide with the foe, damaging its twin molten horns and dealing DMG proportional to the DMG it itself has received.
  • Affected by the Ley Line disturbance, the powerful foe will begin to charge during battle, dealing DMG over a large AoE after a short period of time. Destroy the twin molten horns to interrupt its charging.

Descriptions

An Abyssal creature that creeps through rifts in the hidden depths, quietly watching this world. Its eerie, faceless form is said to be nothing more than a projection, while its true body exists only as a formless mass of pure Abyssal energy.
In the Ley Line memories, its corrupted form endures like a wound that never heals, consuming all life that dares to stand against it...

Lord of the Hidden Depths: Whisperer of Nightmares — Normal
An elite officer of the Fatui Oprichniki who specializes in close combat using a giant blade.
Whether it be in the war against the dark calamity or against those ignoramuses who dare stand against the Tsaritsa's ideals, those who breach at the tip of the spear suffer the greatest casualties. Those who survive a hundred battles only to fall all the same become a fearful memory in the Ley Lines. When intruded upon by a powerful outsider, such formidable warriors are the chaotic Ley Lines' perilous response...

Battle-Hardened Fireblade Shock Trooper: Normal
One of the two sovereigns who once stood at the apex of the aberrant species of the Fontemer, and the subject of many a tale among sailors. Avoiding predation, it keeps hunting and eating and so continues to grow, constantly seeking out suitable shells to become its new armor.
In the Ley Line memories, one such crab reached unparalleled might — the greatest of the Armored Crablords. Clad in heavy plate, it would confront any and all threats without hesitation.

Emperor of Fire and Iron: Normal
An Abyssal creature that creeps through rifts in the hidden depths, quietly watching this world. Its eerie, faceless form is said to be nothing more than a projection, while its true body exists only as a formless mass of pure Abyssal energy.
Twisted by the turbulence of the Ley Lines, its foul power has grown stronger, forming sharp claws that carve indelible marks into the earth's defenses.

Lord of the Hidden Depths: Whisperer of Nightmares — Sharpened Claws
An elite officer of the Fatui Oprichniki who specializes in close combat using a giant blade.
Whether it be in the war against the dark calamity or against those ignoramuses who dare stand against the Tsaritsa's ideals, those who breach at the tip of the spear suffer the greatest casualties. Those who survive a hundred battles only to fall all the same become a fearful memory in the Ley Lines. Twisted by the disordered Ley Lines, the loyalty and resolve of these warriors devolve into a frenzy to tear their enemies apart, with an aggression that surges like a tide...

Battle-Hardened Fireblade Shock Trooper: Frenzied
One of the two sovereigns who once stood at the apex of the aberrant species of the Fontemer, and the subject of many a tale among sailors. Avoiding predation, it keeps hunting and eating and so continues to grow, constantly seeking out suitable shells to become its new armor.
Enveloped in the Ley Line's turbulent flow, its nature has twisted toward warlike brutality, making it the terror of all other Fontemer Aberrants...

Emperor of Fire and Iron: Raid
An Abyssal creature that creeps through rifts in the hidden depths, quietly watching this world. Its eerie, faceless form is said to be nothing more than a projection, while its true body exists only as a formless mass of pure Abyssal energy.
Driven by the turmoil of the chaotic Ley Lines, its frenzied, delirious whispers have been honed into a cutting edge aimed squarely at rending the world's hard-won order atwain...

Lord of the Hidden Depths: Whisperer of Nightmares — Ravager's Edge
An elite officer of the Fatui Oprichniki who specializes in close combat using a giant blade.
Whether it be in the war against the dark calamity or against those ignoramuses who dare stand against the Tsaritsa's ideals, those who breach at the tip of the spear suffer the greatest casualties. Those who survive a hundred battles only to fall all the same become a fearful memory in the Ley Lines. Due to sustained immersion in the twisted currents, these warriors' lingering shades turn the blades they once wielded in desperate battle against the challenger who seeks to quell the disorder....

Battle-Hardened Fireblade Shock Trooper: Forlorn Hope
One of the two sovereigns who once stood at the apex of the aberrant species of the Fontemer, and the subject of many a tale among sailors. Avoiding predation, it keeps hunting and eating and so continues to grow, constantly seeking out suitable shells to become its new armor.
Twisted by the turbulence of the Ley Lines, its violent nature has grown so intense that it now rampages like a small army, lashing out at everything it sees — a crab-shaped calamity crawling across the land...
