Top 5 Most Annoying Bosses In Genshin Impact

In Genshin Impact, bosses can be a fun test of your team setup and fighting skills. But some of them are just plain irritating, with mechanics that make you want to pull your hair out, like needing specific characters or dealing with long, drawn-out phases. Whether they’re dodging your attacks, going invincible, or throwing annoying hazards your way, these fights can feel more like a slog than a epic battle.

Here’s a rundown of the five most frustrating bosses in Genshin Impact, picked for how much they mess with your patience as much as your strategy, plus some tips to beat them.

Oceanid

Why It’s a Pain: Oceanid spawns Hydro creatures like boars and birds that are a nightmare to hit with melee characters. The platform keeps shrinking, the dialogue won’t shut up, and you pretty much need ranged characters or Cryo/Electro to deal with its minions. It’s infamous for taking forever, especially if your team isn’t ready.

Tips: Grab a Cryo character (like Ganyu or Kaeya) to freeze stuff or Electro (like Fischl) for reactions. A healer or shielder like Barbara or Zhongli keeps you alive.

Geo Hypostasis

Why It’s a Pain: This thing hides behind Basalt Pillars you have to smash to even touch it, which makes the fight drag. It’s stuck in a far-off spot, and you need Claymore or Geo characters to make it bearable, which sucks for farming or Spiral Abyss. Plus, it’s barely vulnerable half the time.

Tips: Bring Claymore users (like Noelle or Razor) or Geo characters (like Ningguang) to bust pillars fast. Ranged attackers like Ganyu can hit the core easier.

Thunder Manifestation

Why It’s a Pain: This boss zips around and teleports constantly, making it tough to land hits, especially with melee or off-field DPS. Its electric cage attack messes up your flow, and without good ranged characters, it’s a headache. It’s extra annoying in Spiral Abyss with its hyperactive nonsense.

Tips: Use ranged DPS (like Yoimiya or Fischl) and dodge the cage. Dendro reactions (after 3.0) can help keep damage steady.

Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network (ASIMON)

Why It’s a Pain: ASIMON’s invisibility trick is super annoying, forcing you to use Electro characters or weird mechanics to make it show up. In Spiral Abyss, it screws with your team setup, and the fight feels slow because of its gimmicky design.

Tips: Throw in an Electro character (like Lisa or Raiden) to stop the invisibility fast. AoE attacks work best for its short vulnerable moments.

Golden Wolflord

Why It’s a Pain: The Wolflord keeps going invincible and needs a Geo character to break its shields, which is a hassle. It moves around too much, and its Corrosion effect hurts your whole team, making it rough without a solid healer or Geo unit.
