The leaked new Natlan boss fromGenshin Impact5.2 has the potential to be a nightmare when facing, but that may just be its greatest feat. Version 5.2 is still a few weeks away from arriving in the action RPG by HoYoverse, but its beta tests have commenced and, with them, new details about the update’s contents are starting to be shared. This includes insights into the gameplaykit for Chasca inGenshin Impact5.2, as well as details about the three new Natlan map areas being implemented with the patch.
These new areas, while unconfirmed, are expected to hold several new activities for players to partake in. This should happen despite the confirmed lack of new Natlan-related Archon Quests in Version 5.2. The rumored Natlan map extensions should all come with new World Quests, Local Specialties, and enemies to face. One of the rumored new enemies is a world boss, who allegedly drops the Ascensionmaterials for Chasca inGenshin Impact, so players who plan on obtaining her will only be able to pre-farm some of the items needed. Now, new details about this boss have emerged.
New World Boss For Genshin Impact 5.2 Has Leaked
Tenebrous Papilla: Type I Can Enter A State Called Void Fantasia
The rumored world boss for Version 5.2 is called Tenebrous Papilla: Type I. This seems to be a creature or automaton that is highly affected by the Abyss’ corruption, as indicated by its purple coloration. The boss had been leaked before, but the most recent leak revealed specific details about its gameplay kit. The leak obtained by HomDGCat and shared onRedditsays thatTenebrous Papilla: Type I can enter a state called Void Fantasia, which will grant it both offensive and defensive bonuses– and players will have to move fast to neutralize it before it deals massive damage.
Previously leaked footage, shared onInstagram, shows that Tenebrous Papilla: Type I can transform into several otherbosses inGenshin Impactfor a short period.
Leaked Tenebrous Papilla Boss In Genshin Impact 5.2 Can Conjure A Massive Shield
The Void Barrier Requires Several Hits To Be Taken Down
According to the leak by HomDGCat, in the Void Fantasia state, the leaked Tenebrous Papilla boss can conjure a massive shield called Void Barrier.This Void Barrier lasts for 15 seconds and requires 53 Elemental Attacks (75 in the Domain version) to be taken down– Nightsoul-aligned attacks count as three Elemental Attacks. By destroying the Void Barrier, all of Tenebrous Papilla’s RES will be reduced for a period. The sheer number of Elemental Attacks needed to take down the shield in just 15 seconds seems somewhat unreasonable for most of the team comps in the game.
As fast as some coordinated attacks may work alongside the main DPS, the effort put into destroying the Void Barrier seems immense, especially if the number of required Elemental Attacks reaches 75 in the Domain version. This leaked boss from Version 5.2 seems to be forcing players to useNatlan characters inGenshin Impactsince these are the only ones capable of performing Nightsoul-aligned attacks. With a proper team comp of Natlan characters,players could, essentially, cut down the number of required Elemental Attacks to only a third.
Genshin Impact’s Pyro Traveler May Finally Give The Protagonist A Good Kit
Details about the Pyro Traveler in Genshin Impact have been provided, and they sound extremely promising due to the comparison that was established.
However, with only six Natlan characters in Version 5.2, there is a lack of variety for better team comps. Of course, players could mix characters from other regions with their owned Natlan units, though that could reduce the efficiency when taking down the Void Barrier from the rumored Tenebrous Papilla: Type I boss. Even though the massive shield is scary on its own,another part of the leak makes the rumored boss seem even more terrifying.
Genshin Impact 5.2’s Leaked Tenebrous Papilla Boss Can Ignore Shields
The Boss Can Allegedly Deal Even More Damage If Players Fail To Destroy The Void Barrier
As seen in HomDGCat’s leak, when the leaked Tenebrous Papilla: Type I boss is in the Void Fantasia state, it will launch a series of consecutive attacks. These attacks will eat through the active character’s HP, ignoring any shields they have protecting them.If the aforementioned Void Barrier is not destroyed in time, its attacks will consume 60% of the Max HP + 3000, while also dealing massive Physical DMG in an AoE(area of effect). Not only would it completely ignore shields, which is already terrifying, but the figures involved in the HP drain inGenshin Impactseem punishing.
This boss has the potential to become one of the most challenging onesin the open world. The shield requires a lot of effort to take down and its attacks in the Void Fantasia state ignore any character’s shields. Furthermore, if players are incapable of taking down the Void Barrier, they will get punished with a massive blow to their HP, which also ignores any shields they may have on them. Tenebrous Papilla: Type I may require some careful team comp considerations before being faced.
Genshin Impact 5.2 Leaks Indicate Development In Natlan, Despite Lack Of Archon Quests
Genshin Impact 5.2 is confirmed to not have any new Archon Quests in Natlan, but the contents of the Nation of Pyro will seemingly expand.
For now, these leaks should be considered with caution, as they may be incorrect, incomplete, or subject to changes – especially when it comes to the numbers provided in the leak. Nevertheless, the prospect of such a challenging boss seems both daunting and exciting, as world bosses tend to be so easily defeated by more experienced players – oftentimes, it is possible to take them down before they activate their main mechanic inGenshin Impact.
