As soon as the Li Yue location appeared, all players rushed to explore the expanses of the map, but they could not even guess that evil is slumbering underground and it woke up with the 1.3 update. If you're seeking glory and a heap of treasures, head to the Ancient Geovishap's lair - it's already waiting for you. 

The Geovishap has a new mechanic that previous Genshin opponents did not possess. In this guide, you will learn how to defeat the Ancient Geovishap in Genshin Impact. We will tell you about the battle tactics and the necessary team composition that will help you secure victory over the monster.

Dragon's Location on the Map

Use any of the teleporters in the Tianqiu Valley. The marked location will appear on the map; head towards it. There you will see a rift, and behind it, there will be an arena for the Dragon battle. 

Geovishap's Attacks

In addition to being able to attack you with your own element, the Geovishap has several other skills:

1. Standard attack on the hero;

2. Rotating strike – you can dodge it, but only if you anticipate the start of this attack;

3. Slash – an attack in which the Dragon strikes by thrusting its paw forward;

4. Double pounce – on the second swing, the monster attacks you;

5. Earthquake – a dangerous attack that should be avoided by all means. The Dragon buries itself underground and then unexpectedly strikes;

6. Elemental breath – your own ability will be directed against you;

7. Primitive source – the arena will be covered with rifts and cracks, from which ancient runes will emerge and explode sooner or later;

8. Primitive surge – beware of this attack; it is the most powerful of all the Dragon's attacks. 

Based on these attacks and their sequence, the team is composed and the subsequent tactics are determined.

Geovishap's Attack Sequence

The Dragon uses one of its attacks at a specific location. Attacks not mentioned below are applied randomly. 

Attacks that follow a pattern:

• Elemental breath and Earthquake – used by the Geovishap when it is at a distance;

• Combo – this attack will be unleashed when you get too close;

• Rotation – activated when you approach the opponent from behind.

Strategy to Defeat the Ancient Geovishap

It's important to understand what to expect from the monster - only then will victory come much easier. To defeat the Dragon, certain actions should be taken step by step, but you won't succeed without a properly built team. 

Team Composition

You can combine any characters as long as they possess certain abilities. In this battle, the new character Xiao will be very useful. 

It is necessary to bring a hero with a versatile shield. Such characters are indispensable as they easily withstand all damage and redirect it to the Dragon. Take agile heroes; they won't frequently suffer critical damage from the enemy.

Attack Sequence

1. Try to deal damage to the Dragon from behind, as the effectiveness will increase several times. 

2. Avoid direct confrontations with the Geovishap; it will be harder to defeat him that way. If you constantly stay away and anticipate repetitive attacks, the Dragon won't be able to inflict significant damage on you. 

Actions in Defense

If you are attacked by the "Ancient Evil" with regular attacks, it is not worth using the shield for that. Save it for more powerful attacks. 

1. It makes sense to use the shield against the "Rotation" attack only if it can withstand the entire super strike animation. If not, it is more effective to simply evade.

2. Slash and Combo can be deactivated by swiftly striking the opponent's legs. There, his abilities are completely useless. 

3. Elemental Breath starts with a movement to the right and then to the left. To evade it, jump to the right and run towards the legs. 

4. The damage from the runes is significant, so do not be near them when they explode. 

It is also important to understand that the higher the character's level, the stronger the counterattack will be against the Dragon. At high levels, the damage can be in the tens of thousands. 

Rewards

When considering all the rewards, it is worth understanding that the higher the hero's level, the better the bonuses. 

Possible drops include:

• Mora and friendship points;

• Materials to level up characters of all elements except Anemo;

• A set of five artifacts;

• Unique tiaras. They are worn instead of headgear and provide many bonuses to your defense.
