A Genshin Impact player has devised a unique method for defeating a new Local Legend boss in the Nod-Krai region. The HoYoverse RPG has consistently introduced various enemies for players throughout its near five-year existence, covering seven playable regions. Adventurers face off against foes from Hilichurls and Treasure Hoarders to notable members of the Fatui, including Arlecchino, Childe, and Scaramouche. Recently, a new challenge arose with the addition of tougher enemies in Genshin Impact’s overworld.

The Fontaine region introduced the first Local Legends as formidable overworld bosses. Local Legends are among the strongest adversaries players can encounter, with one located at distinct spots around Teyvat. Defeating each Local Legend also grants players Achievements.

Reddit user Mogoru_z4n showcased a clever strategy on the Genshin Impact subreddit. Their method involved utilizing just the Anemo Traveler in a fight against Local Legend Sigurd on Lempo Isle in Nod-Krai. By baiting Sigurd into the water with the Local Legend’s dashed attack and then using the Traveler’s Ultimate to create a tornado, Sigurd is thrust into the water, where he promptly succumbs to drowning. As a result, the player successfully receives the achievement for defeating Sigurd.

Unique Defeat Strategy for Sigurd

The efficient tactic demonstrated by the player exploits a specific mechanic in Genshin Impact where non-player enemies cannot swim like the characters. Most enemies will perish if submerged in water deeper than what they can stand. This mechanic is usually ineffective on bosses, as they typically cannot be manipulated by the Traveler’s tornado or similar offensive capabilities.

In version 6.0, the newest area added has enriched the game’s content for players. This update introduced several new characters, with Lauma and Aino appearing in the first half, followed by Flins shortly after. Sigurd wasn’t the only Local Legend created with Nod-Krai; the Crab Tsar and Raskolnikov were also implemented in this faction of formidable foes. Players may take advantage of this ingenious trick to overcome one of the challenging opponents in Nod-Krai.
