How to Defeat a Lawless Baptist
As we already mentioned, this boss uses three elements for attack and defense. It will use elements in one of the following orders:
- Pyro, Frozen, Electro
- Frozen, Hydro, Pyro
- Electro, Pyro, Hydro
- Hydro, Frozen, Electro
In order to defeat Iniquitous Baptist in Genshin Impact, you must first destroy his elemental shields. At the beginning of the fight, he will summon three elemental rings. Depending on the elements, use Vaporize or Hyperbloom attacks to destroy them. It will depend on what elements it uses.
Once you destroy these elements, the Baptist will be paralyzed for a few moments. Use this opportunity to unleash powerful attacks on him. We recommend that you use an arsonist character like Diluk to deal a lot of damage. Also, we recommend that you keep Zhongli on your team to use as a shield.
Note that Iniquitous Baptist has a lot of strong attacks with high AoE damage. On top of that, he also has ranged attacks like Water Orbs or Energy Blades. When you spot these attacks, run around him to avoid them.
In order to damage this enemy, you need to destroy his shield first. The shield bar is below the HP bar. Next to the shield panel, you can check its element. Based on this, select characters and attacks to deplete it faster.
Once you defeat this boss, you will be able to obtain items such as Ring of Eternal Darkness, Lapis Lazuli Varunada, Prayers of Wisdom, Wanderer’s Troupe, and more.
