Geo hypostasis in Genshin Impact - how to win? [guide]

Geo hypostasis Gimmel в Genshin impact is an open world boss located in Li Yue. It is a highly concentrated Geo energy. All of his attacks and skills have the Geo element, and hypostasis itself is invulnerable to this element.

In this article, we'll take a look at his location, skills, and group composition for a quick win.

Where to find Geo hypostasis on the map and how to get to it

The boss is located on the islands in the Li Yue region, in the location Guyun stone forest. If you have not been to this place yet, then the easiest way to get there is using the teleport 1. If the location is open, a teleport will help 2. It is easy to walk from it to the hypostasis by running along the shallows between the islands.

With maximum endurance Mona и Ayaka can run straight to the island by using sprint.

Which characters to take on Geo hypostasis (squad)

In this paragraph, we will consider the characters of which elements it is better to put in command on Geo hypostasis. First of all, it is worth considering that the boss himself invulnerable to Geo elements. Therefore, for dealing damage to the enemy's health, such characters are not effective, but they can still destroy columns.

Geo hypostasis has low resists (10% max), so it doesn't really matter how you damage him (excluding Geo element), just pick the character with the most damage. Since the boss is on the pillars most of the time, it becomes their priority to destruction. The durability of these objects is similar to Lavachurl's Geo Shield. So to break them down, it's best to use two-handed swords. Any character with a weapon of this type would be great for the role - the damage dealt doesn't matter:

Characters that deal Geo damage are also suitable, but remember that only Geo damage is effective:

Ningguang;
Zhongli - His charged elemental skill is very effective against pillars;
Albedo.

Ganyu и Yoimiya — characters that can radically change the tactics of the battle with Geo hypostasis, skipping the need to destroy the columns.

Attacks and abilities of the boss Geo hypostasis

Summon columns. Gimmel at the very beginning of the battle summons 5 columns - one in the center and four along the edges of the arena. This skill will be reused if the second phase ends but the hypostasis still has HP, or if the opponent was not finished off in the third. This ability simply sets the basic element of the tactics of the battle with this boss.

Impuls. The Geo Cube flies over the pillar and fires a beam of Geo energy into it. After a short period of time, an impulse will pass through the monument, which will cause damage in the area around it. The player just needs to run away - there will be enough time, the radius is not too large.

Earthquake. A stronger version of the Impulse skill. The initial animation is exactly the same, but near the column there will be a bunch of Geo energy in the form of a chaotic object made of cubes. This skill periodically deals high damage and works around all pillars at once.

If all the monuments are intact, then the attack covers almost the entire arena.

It is possible to leave the area of effect of the skill, but this will not be the best solution. If you destroy a clot of Geo energy, then the character will be covered by a dome in which the player will be safe. And this is a good time to destroy the column.

stone shelling. Gimmel flies over the column and creates a complex geometric outline. After that, the hypostasis starts firing small stone projectiles at the player. They are fairly easy to dodge if you move in a circle. You can also just stand under a column or hide behind any other - shells will hit the monument and, moreover, damage him.

Seal of stone. The Geo Cube marks the character with a seal, and after a certain period of time, a column appears in its place, which immediately explodes and deals damage. Just before activation, a marked area will appear under the hero's feet - you can easily leave it with a double dash.

stone rain. After the destruction of the column and before moving to the next one, the boss can activate this skill. As a result, areas are formed in the arena from which stones will fall. Naturally, they should be avoided. The skill itself is not too dangerous, but be careful - when attacking a column, you can step on the edge of the rockfall zone unnoticed. If you miss this moment, you will receive a lot of damage.

Hammer blow. This is the skill of the second phase. The geo cube turns into a huge hammer and falls on the character. We dodge with the help of jerks.

stone vise. Also a second phase skill. The boss creates two walls of cubes and pushes them together like he is clapping his hands. We dodge with a jerk.

How to beat Geo hypostasis

Now let's figure out how to act at different stages of the battle, so that kill Geo hypostasis.

The battle with Gimmel can be divided into 3 phases:

Column phase. In it, the boss is located on the monuments he created. In order to attack the enemy, the columns must be destroyed. The easiest way to use this two-handed sword or attack from Geo element. When the column is destroyed, the boss will be stunned for a while - he can be damaged. Use attacks of any elementexcept Geo. At the end of the stun, the boss will move to another existing pillar. Repeat the steps until the Geocube's health is completely reduced. At the moments when hypostasis opens at the top of the column, archers or catalysts can be used to deal damage. It will also be hit by a long press of Razor's elemental skill.
Phase without columns. Most likely, this phase will only be available to players in the early stages of the game, when the main damage is still not enough damage to drain the boss's health for 5 stuns. The stage is activated when all 5 columns are destroyed, but the enemy is still alive. Then, before resummoning the pillars, Gimmel will fight on the ground, and his skills will be different. The main goal is still the same drain boss health to the conditional critical zone.
Cooldown/finish phase. When the Geo Cube's health reaches a critical point, it teleports to the center of the arena and summons 3 pillars. The goal of the player is destroy these objects for the allotted time. If you do not have time to break them in time, the boss will restore health in proportion to the number of columns remaining, and the battle start from the first phase. Destroying all three monuments will result in victory.

Players Ganyu и Yoimiya capable of breaking the standard course of the battle. With powerful long-range attacks, they can effectively attack the Geo Cube, without destroying the columns. While on the monuments, the boss is invulnerable most of the time. But there are moments when he opens up for an attack (stone shelling, after skills).

So for Ganyu it is enough to turn on the aiming mode and, moving around the column with the boss, attack when the cube opens.

For Yoimiya it is necessary to determine the distance between her and the column when, during auto-attacks, the girl will beat the enemy.

The finishing phase makes it much easier Zhongli. If you successfully stand in the center between the columns and activate his shield, all objects will be destroyed. It often happens that one column remains, then just drop a comet on it (ult Zhongli), and the boss is defeated.

To finish the third phase in one go without Zhongli, you need to use characters that deal damage while not on the battlefield: Xingqiu, Xiangling, Albedo...

When Geo Hypostasis Reborn

After killing the boss, you must leave his arena or exit the game. Hypostasis will respawn after 5 minutes.
