While players have already had the chance to fight the Raiden Shogun in Genshin Impact, the head of Inazuma is now available as a weekly boss fight. The Raiden Shogun is one of the most beloved characters in Genshin Impact, and now players can get the chance to fight her multiple times in this new Trounce Domain and pull for her re-run later in the 2.5 Version update.
The Raiden Shogun new boss fight is similar to Azhdaha, Tartaglia, and La Signora's boss fight– players will be able to fight the boss as many times as they want, but they will only be able to get rewards for it once a week. These rewards are different for every weekly boss, and the Raiden Shogun is coming with her own new item drops.
The official name of the Raiden Shogun's boss fight is Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto, and players will have to spend 30 Resin to collect their rewards after completing the battle. They will be able to earn Mora, Adventure EXP, Billets, Artifacts, and new ascension materials upon defeating her.
How to Unlock the Raiden Shogun's Weekly Boss in Genshin Impact
There are a few prerequisites players must complete before they can unlock the fight. First, players will need to be at least Adventure Rank 40 or higher. Players' Adventure Rank will progress naturally as they play through the story and complete quests, and most players will likely already be Adventure Rank 40 by the time they reach this section of the story.
Next, players must have completed the Archon Quest Chapter 2: Act 3 - Omnipresence Over Mortals. This is the main Archon quest of Inazuma, and players will have the opportunity to fight the Raiden Shogun in this section; however, this fight will differ slightly from her weekly fight. Finally, players will have to complete the Raiden Shogun's story quest: Imperatrix Umbrosa Chapter: Act 2 - Transient Dreams. Once these quests have been completed, the player will unlock the weekly boss.
The Raiden Shogun's boss fight can be found in the cave underneath Narukami Shrine, and players will be able to teleport directly to it after it has been unlocked. Additionally, players will be able to get Electro ascension gems from defeating the boss and the new ascension materials: Mudra of the Malefic General, Tears of the Calamitous God, and The Meaning of Aeons. Yae Miko, the new Electro 5-Star, uses some of these items to ascend, so players who have pulled her will want to farm this boss.
Genshin Impact is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, and PC.
