How to defeat Miasmic Tumor in Genshin Impact

There are 3 phases you need to complete in Miasmic Tumor boss fight. For each phase, the procedure is the same: defeat samurai, solve puzzles and lighten up the monuments.

Phase 1

Drop down on the tumor and a quick cutscene will come into existence. And the match begins.

  • Players need to first defeat the red shadowy samurai that the tumor created before directly fighting it. As this is a Pyro kind of enemy, a Genshin Impact Hydro character above level 88 can do the mission (Xingqiu, Barbara, Mona, Tartaglia).
  • After beating the samurai, solve a puzzle before destroying the tumor. A light pentagram shall show up near a shrine indicating the monument to brighten from 1 to 5.
  • Summon an electrogram and lit up the monuments following this order: one swirl in the bottom mid, two with the bottom right, three in the top right, four on the bottom left, and five with the top left.

The tumor will drop down when you finish that. Players will deal about ¼ damage to it.
