Genshin Impact has been consistently upping the design and danger of the enemies and bosses in the game. Players are hyped to fight the Scaramouche weekly boss in Version 3.2 and we’re also excited to make the new Dendro Hypostasis our new damage test subject. Recent leaks have also revealed a whole lot of new enemies and bosses that are going to be added to the game including some Fontaine enemies.
Upcoming Bosses and Enemies in Genshin Impact
We already know about the new Dendro Dragon weekly boss in Version 3.6 but there are a ton of other enemies too- though most of these seem like elites and not mobs.
A new Serpent Knight variant will be added which means we may have another story quest in the Chasm where Serpent Knights are usually found. The leak says they will use the “fat” model which could mean they will be similar in proportions to the Fatui Cryogunner and Hydrogunner. Considering how cool and intimidating the Serpent Knights look, we’re sure these Geo Serpent Knights will be great additions to the crew.
Desert enemies will also have new “Sacred” companions. We’re not sure if these will be Eremites summoning Sacred desert creatures or just Sacred variants of Desert creatures out in the wild. We guess these will more likely be more Eremites with Sacred animal companions.
The Abyssal Archdeacon will be an upgrade of the Abyss Lectors and they are leaked to be wielding up to four elements. This elite is set to appear in Version 3.4 which will be the first update next year. Alongside the Archdeacon, we’ll also get the Cryo Abyss Herald which means players are in for some Spiral Abyss hell if the Hydro and Cryo Abyss Heralds team up.
The leak also talks about Hillichurl “strays” which we aren’t sure what that means. Perhaps they will be a variant of the Unusual Hillichurl or maybe an entirely new mob category. Since they are also attributed to the elements of Hydro and Anemo, we speculate they will be similar to Mage Samachurls with entirely new attacks and techniques.
We also have crumbs on Fontaine enemies. We don’t know if Justice Machines or Automatons will be Fontaine’s version of Eremites or Kairagies but they sure sound cool. We may finally be fighting mecha mobs in Fontaine. By the sound of them though, they sound like elites. Since Fontaine is the nation of Justice, we’ll have to see how this philosophy reflects in the designs of these enemies.
Other leaks also suggest a Sandworm world boss in the Desert region that will be added in Version 3.4. Perhaps this is inspired by the Dune series but we’ll have to wait for the design leak to see how similar they are. Finally, we also have another leak claiming that we’ll meet a boss similar to the Marana in another Desert quest similar to the Aranyaka Quest.
We expect this boss to be added in Version 3.6 as that’s when the Genshin map is likely getting another considerable Desert expansion. The region added in Version 3.4 will only be a small region according to leaks.
So what do you think? Are you excited about these new enemies? One thing we can say for sure is that even if the playable characters are avoiding power creep, the enemies sure aren’t as they seem to be getting stronger with each update. Some players claim that by the time we reach the end of the game, we’ll be fighting bosses in Space.
