How to beat the Wolf Lord in Genshin Impact
Consider the main tips for the battle with the boss Wolf Lord Andrius:
- Do not use Cryo and Anemo damage against this boss, he is invulnerable to him.
- Be careful with characters that apply the Hydro status to the active hero (Barbara, etc.). Since Boreas is inflicting Cryo attacks, Freeze can be activated.
- Some attacks can be dodged by sprinting, it's fairly easy with practice.
- The Lord can be shot with a bow with a charged attack, this will stop his dash.
- Move away from the territory that the Wolf of the North has frozen.
- Keep your distance.
Attacks and abilities of the Wolf of the North
The whole fight with Andrius can be divided into three stages, which can be repeated if the battle drags on.
The first phase
The boss mainly uses melee attacks and cryo elements.
- Bounce. Andrius jumps and lands on the ice circle. You can dodge the attack by sprinting.
- Jerk. Boreas runs towards the character, leaving a trail of Crio behind him. You can dodge him by using a sprint, run straight towards the wolf or in the other direction.
- Beats with paws and tail. He usually combines such attacks. At this point, it is better to move away, or use a strong shield.
Intermediate phase
The lord of the wolves starts running in circles. During this phase, he makes two dashes towards the character, and then jumps into the cryo area, as during the Jump attack.
The boss enters the intermediate phase if he has 50% hp left, or if he stays in the First phase for too long. After this interval, the Wolf Lord can enter the Second Phase or start the First again (if he has more than half health).
The second phase
During this stage, Boreas can use all attacks from the First and additional:
- Ice attack. The Wolf Lord will begin to summon icicles that fall from the sky. After this attack, the edges of the arena will freeze and start dealing Cryo damage.
- Howl. The king lets out a howl that deals damage in an area around him. During the Second phase, it is better to use archers, or to protect the heroes with a shield.
- Blades. The Wolf Lord stands up on its hind legs and releases 3 blades that diverge at an angle.
- Little wolf. Boreas summons a small phantom wolf to help him. It deals a small amount of damage and immediately disappears.
Wolf Lord respawn time
After the death of the boss, leave his arena or exit the game for 5 minutes. During this time, the place where the Wolf is summoned will respawn and it will be possible to kill him again. There will be no additional rewards for this.
