How to defeat the Setekh Wenut boss in Genshin Impact

The Setekh Wenut boss will slip and slide all around you, often burrowing into the ground making it invulnerable to your attacks. The boss will open with a huge sweeping attack that is one of your biggest opportunities to deal damage. Unleash all the damage you can before the attack ends.

Following this, the Setekh Wenut has some moves with long attack animations where it’s recommended to attack back. When the Setekh Wenut unleashes a large circular laser attack, or when it shoots projectiles at you is a good window of opportunity to unleash damage. With other attacks, the Setekh Wenut will occasionally pop out of the ground before sinking back into the ground. Use low-cooldown abilities to recharge your Elemental Bursts here.

After removing enough HP, the Setekh Wenut will enter its final phase. It will spawn objects known as “Windbite Bullets.” Destroy two of these bullets using Electro, Cryo, Hydro, or Pyro attacks to paralyze the boss, giving you a chance to deal tons of damage.
