Oceanid in Genshin Impact: where to find and how to win

Oceanid in Genshin impact is an elemental boss from the Li Yue region known as Lady of the Waters Qingce Rodia. It drops materials for the rise of characters, as well as some artifacts. The Oceanid deals Hydro damage attacks and often causes difficulties for players due to the rather atypical nature of combat.

This guide details how to find and defeat the Oceanid, as well as which heroes are best to use for combat.

Where to find Oceanid

To open the Oceanid, you do not need to go through any tasks, just find the boss on the map. He is in Bishui Valley, in the north behind the slope of Uvan. For a more convenient search, it is recommended to first open a teleportation point in the Bishui Valley, and only after that go to the boss.

Opposite the teleport, on the right side of the character, there is a ladder that you need to climb. In the middle of the reservoir is a large square platform. It is easy to swim to it, or you can build a bridge using the characters' Cryo skills.

You will see a blue glow on the platform - interact with it to start the fight with the Oceanid.

Whom to take in the squad for the battle with the Oceanid

Throughout the fight, the boss summons mobile Hydro creatures, so the most effective here are cryo characters. In addition to dealing damage, using the heroes of this element will freeze enemies. During this state, they will not be able to attack. Aside from Crio, Pyro, Dendro, and Electro characters would work well.

The boss's attacks are quite aggressive, so it's important to have a healer in the squad. Also, some Mimics will fly in the air, so you should bring at least one ranged hero (catalyst or archer) with you.

Boss attacks and abilities

Oceanid randomly summons Hydro creatures, through which he carries out the battle. There are 8 types of entities in total, each represents some kind of animal and has a unique tactic for dealing damage.

• Crabs. They appear on the battlefield in pairs, and inflict almost the most powerful damage compared to other animals. Crabs move very quickly in a circle near the active character, and when they get close enough, they attack painfully. They are hard to dodge, but you can freeze them and kill them while they are frozen.

• Frogs. They appear on the battlefield one at a time. Damage is dealt in two ways. The first one is a ranged attack, when the frog releases a wave of Hydro damage that overtakes the hero. Second, the mimic jumps up and lands next to the active character, dealing a large amount of area damage. To prevent these jumps, it is better to immediately freeze these opponents. Drops a water bomb upon death.

• Finch. A Mimic of this type enters the battlefield alone. Attacks like a second frog attack, that is, it jumps up and lands on the character, dealing Hydro damage in an area. Drops a water bomb upon death.

• Proteins. There are two. They deal damage with the help of the tail: when it hits the slab, a wave of damage falls on the active character. This type of attack is easy to avoid.

• Boars. They are called in twos, attacking like ordinary boars in the game - they run at the character and knock him down, causing damage. Their movements are also quite easy to dodge.

• Kites. The most aggressive and difficult facial expressions to win. They are summoned in groups of three and attack from above, periodically swooping down and hitting the active character. Just for them, you need to have a catalyst or an archer in the squad.

• Herons. On the contrary, they are the most harmless. They spawn in groups of three, as a rule, they stand still, not particularly moving around the battlefield. Easily and quickly killed. Before inflicting damage, they flap their wings, and only after that they release a Hydro wave. It is easy to dodge and anticipate, but if this is not done, the characters may even die.

• Ducks. Arise in pairs, create a whirlpool around them, causing great damage as they approach the target. They move quickly and try to catch up with the active character. An effective means against them will be a shield or attacks from a long distance.

sinking platforms
