Here are some tips for defeating Guardian of Apep's Oasis.
Finding Guardian of Apep's Oasis 
•After completing Nahida's Story Quest, Act 2, you will be able to access Apep in the Realm of Beginnings, near the border of The Desert of Hadramaveth.
General Strategy 
•Phase 1: Focus on dealing as much damage as possible. Apep moves around quickly, so keep mobile and use ranged attacks if you're not comfortable with close combat.
•Phase 2: After depleting Apep's HP, you'll need to defeat summoned enemies to fill up the Heart of Oasis. This phase is about survival and managing adds.
•Phase 3: This phase includes a significant attack called 'Aftershocks of the Apocalypse'. Use the Shields of Revival's Hymn that spawn to protect yourself from this devastating attack.
Team Composition
DPS
•Pyro DPS like Hu Tao or Diluc for Burn and Bloom reactions.
•Cryo DPS like Ganyu or Ayaka for Frozen or Melt reactions with Dendro.
Support/Healer
•Zhongli: His shield provides essential protection against both direct and AoE attacks from Apep.
•Bennett: For healing, attack boosts, and cleansing any harmful effects with his burst.
Sub-DPS/Reaction Enablers
•Xingqiu for Hydro application, leading to Spread reactions or Hydro-based damage.
•Fischl or Beidou for Electro, creating Quicken or Aggravate reactions.
Utility
•Sucrose or Venti for crowd control, though Venti's effectiveness might be limited if Apep is too heavy to lift.
Understanding Apep's Mechanics
•Phase 1: Apep uses various Dendro-based attacks. It's highly mobile and can summon additional enemies.
•Phase 2: Involves fighting summoned foes to fill up the Heart of Oasis, which then allows you to damage Apep again.
•Phase 3: Features a devastating attack pattern called 'Aftershocks of the Apocalypse', requiring you to take shelter in Shields of Revival's Hymn.
Guardian of Apep's Reward Drops
Here's what you can expect in terms of rewards from defeating this boss:
•Primogems: You receive Primogems upon defeating the Guardian of Apep's Oasis for the first time each week.
•Mora: The in-game currency.
•Hero's Wit: Used for leveling up character talents.
•Local Specialties: Such as Violetgrass or Sakura Bloom, reflecting its location in Sumeru.
•Common Crystals: Like Luminous Sands from Sumeru.
•Boss Materials:
Worldspan Fern, Primordial Greenbloom, and Everamber are used for leveling character talents beyond level 6. These materials are associated with characters like Lynette (Anemo), Neuvillette (Hydro), and others who require these specific materials for talent upgrades.
Nagadus Emerald (in its various forms like Slivers, Fragments, Chunks, and Gemstones) which are essential for characters like Nahida.
•Artifact Enhancement Materials: Such as Enhancers, Prisms, or even a chance at a 5-star artifact like those from the Gladiator's Finale or Wanderer's Troupe sets.
•Dream Solvent: Useful for converting between the above-mentioned talent level-up materials.

Note: The Guardian of Apep's Oasis fight involves several phases, including protecting the Heart of Oasis, which influences the battle mechanics but not directly the rewards. However, completing the fight successfully without getting hit by specific attacks like the "Aftershocks of the Apocalypse" can unlock achievements or challenges, potentially offering additional Primogems or other rewards. Note: Remember, like all weekly bosses, you can only claim rewards once per week, requiring 30 Original Resin for the first three Weekly Boss claims of the week, and 60 thereafter. This boss fight not only provides essential materials for character progression but also adds to the lore of Sumeru, making it a significant part of the game's ecosystem for those exploring or farming in that region. |
Additional Tips 
Here are some specialized tips for defeating Apep the Dendro Dragon, the Guardian of Apep's Oasis, a weekly boss in Genshin Impact:
•Close Combat: Staying close might prevent some of Apep's larger movements or attacks, allowing for more consistent damage output.
•Timing: Learn the timing of your dodges or use characters with built-in iframes in their skills to avoid damage seamlessly.
•Utilize the Environment: Use the pillars or any structures in the arena for cover when possible, especially during ranged attacks from Apep.
•Character Specific Tips: If you have Nahida or any characters that benefit from the new environment in Sumeru, their abilities might synergize well with the fight's mechanics or the Dendro element.
•Post-Fight Strategy: Remember, you can only claim rewards from weekly bosses with Original Resin, so ensure you have enough or plan your resin usage accordingly.
•Co-op Mode: If you find the boss too challenging solo, consider entering co-op mode. Having multiple players can divide Apep's attention and provide more opportunities for attack and healing.
•Artifact Optimization: Equip your characters with artifacts that boost CRIT Rate/DMG for DPS, Elemental Mastery for reaction-focused characters, and Energy Recharge for supports to keep bursts up.
•Buff Timing: Use characters like Zhongli's burst or Bennett's burst before Apep's big attacks or when you need to heal up quickly.
•Resin Management: Plan your resin usage before engaging with Apep, considering you'll need 30 or 60 resin for the fight.
•Stay Mobile: Apep has several AoE attacks. Keep moving to avoid ground indicators where attacks will land.
•Hide During Aftershocks: When Apep prepares for the Aftershocks of the Apocalypse, get inside one of the Shields of Revival's Hymn promptly.
