Hey everyone, it's your favorite game expert here, and I've been grinding Genshin Impact since day one! 😊 Today, I'm diving deep into one of the toughest weekly bosses out there—the All-Devouring Narwhal in Fontaine. If you're like me, you know these fights can be a real pain, especially with the boss constantly zipping around and barely giving you a chance to land hits. But don't sweat it! After countless battles and fine-tuning strategies, I've cracked the code to make this fight a breeze. Trust me, with the right approach, you'll be farming those sweet rewards in no time. Let's get started on this epic journey together! 💪

First off, understanding the All-Devouring Narwhal's attack pattern is key to survival, and it's unlike anything else in Teyvat. This beast loves to pop in and out of the ground and sky, making it super hard for melee characters to get close. For instance, when it dives from the sky and touches down, you'll take massive damage if you don't dodge in time—seriously, one wrong move and you're toast! 🍞 In some phases, it spawns an orb on the field that's tricky to handle. Attacking it normally chips away a bit of its white health bar, but using Pneuma or Ousia attacks? Boom! That shreds its HP like crazy. Oh, and let's not forget how essential ranged or turret-based characters are here; they let you deal damage while focusing on dodging. Here's a quick rundown of its main moves:

  • Sky Dive: Narwhal crashes down from above—dodge roll or sprint away to avoid AoE damage.

  • Ground Emergence: It bursts from below, then vanishes upward; stay mobile to evade.

  • Orb Phase: Summons an orb; prioritize Pneuma/Ousia hits for quick takedowns.

  • Turret Advantage: Characters with auto-attacks shine, like Fischl's Oz or Yae Miko's totems.

Now, onto how to defeat this beast—it's all about patience and timing. You can't just brute-force your way through unless you've got maxed-out characters. In the initial phase, focus on building up its rage meter (that little bar below the HP in the top right). Once it's full, things get wild: you're teleported to a special realm with a new enemy. This guy has a white health bar, and you need to whittle it down by attacking relentlessly. But the real game-changer? When the enemy transforms into an orb for a few seconds. Hit it with Pneuma or Ousia energy, and kaboom! 💥 It deals massive damage to the bar. Once that bar is gone, Narwhal gets stunned and vulnerable back in the main arena. That's your golden window to unleash everything—bursts, skills, you name it! If you miss it, the cycle repeats, so make those seconds count. Pro tip: Use characters like Neuvillette or Furina for their innate Pneuma/Ousia abilities to speed things up.

After you take down Narwhal, you'll earn exclusive materials by spending 30 Resin—essential for leveling talents past 6. Here's what you get:

Material Use
Lightless Silk String Upgrades talents for characters like Arlecchino or new Natlan heroes
Lightless Eye of the Maelstrom Key for Fontaine-based units in v5.8+
Lightless Mass Boosts elemental skills across the board

For team recommendations, I always pack Fontaine characters for their Pneuma/Ousia synergy—think Lyney for ranged DPS or Clorinde for quick elemental reactions. But if you're looking for alternatives, here's a tier list based on my tests:

  • Top Picks: Neuvillette (Hydro, ranged), Furina (Ousia support), Fischl (Electro turret)

  • Solid Choices: Yae Miko (Electro totems), Nahida (Dendro application for reactions)

  • Avoid If Possible: Pure melee units like Diluc—they just can't keep up!

Finally, remember that this boss is part of the weekly rotation, so plan your resin usage wisely. With the latest game updates in 2025, like the v5.8 events, it's easier than ever to gear up. Just stay agile, dodge those attacks, and you'll crush it in no time. Happy grinding, travelers! 🎮✨
