The Everlasting Lord of Arcane Wisdom, also known as Scaramouche or Shouki no Kami, the Prodigal, is a significant Weekly Boss in Genshin Impact, introduced in the Version 3.2 update. Here's an overview of this character turned boss:
Background:
•Original Identity: Scaramouche, also known as The Balladeer, was the Sixth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. He is a puppet created by Raiden Ei, the Electro Archon of Inazuma.
•Transformation: After a series of events in the Sumeru Archon Quest, Scaramouche ascends to become Shouki no Kami, the Prodigal, a self-proclaimed god of wisdom with ambitions to transcend human limitations.
Boss Battle Mechanics:
•Location: The challenge is found in the Joururi Workshop in Sumeru, east of Sumeru City.
Phases:
•Phase 1: Scaramouche is attached to a fixed axis, limiting his mobility but not his attack capabilities. Players must gather Energy Blocks to charge the Neo Akasha Terminal for attacks.
•Phase 2: He gains more mobility, flying around and launching more complex attacks. Players need to continue managing the Energy Blocks for counterattacks.
Strategies for Defeating:
•Energy Management: Collecting Energy Blocks, which drop from certain attacks or environmental interactions, is crucial to use the Neo Akasha Terminal's abilities, like activating Elemental Matrices on the ground for various effects or direct damage.
•Elemental Reactions: Using characters that can perform elemental reactions to break his shield phases or to deal with his attacks is beneficial. Anemo characters are particularly useful for avoiding ground-based attacks by lifting players off the ground.
•Dodging and Timing: His attacks are predictable but powerful, requiring good timing to dodge or mitigate damage, especially during his phase transitions.
Rewards:
•Materials: Drops include:
•Puppet Strings
•Mirror of Mushin
•Daka's Bell
•These are used for leveling up certain character talents.
•Other: Players can also get Dream Solvents, billets, and various experience materials.
Achievements:
•Several achievements are tied to this boss fight, rewarding players for defeating him under specific conditions or achieving milestones in battle.
Lore Implications:
•Scaramouche's journey from a puppet to a god reflects themes of identity, abandonment, and the quest for meaning in Genshin Impact. His defeat and subsequent redemption through becoming the Wanderer add layers to his character arc.
Note: This boss fight is both a test of player strategy and a narrative climax in Scaramouche's storyline, making it a memorable part of the Sumeru Chapter in Genshin Impact. |
