Genshin Impact: All-Devouring Narwhal boss guide and how to beat it

The final piece of Fontaine’s Archon quest allows you to confront the All-Devouring Narwhal, which then becomes a weekly boss you’ll have to face regularly for important materials in Genshin Impact.

Facing the All-Devouring Narwhal will present you with a unique challenge, so here’s how you can find this boss, what you need to know about it, and how you can successfully defeat it.

How to unlock the All-Devouring Narwhal in Genshin Impact

The All-Devouring Narwhal is a weekly boss you’ll officially unlock upon finishing Chapter IV, Act V of the Archon quest. But you can also use the Quick Challenge feature in your Adventurer Handbook to face this opponent in single-player mode even if you have not yet officially unlocked it.

All-Devouring Narwhal location in Genshin Impact

Once you unlock the All-Devouring Narwhal Shadow of Another World Trounce Domain, you can find this weekly boss challenge in the Salacia Plain region of Fontaine. It’s located just east of the Pale Forgotten Glory Domain.

You can access it more easily by selecting “Shadow of Another World” in the Trounce Domain section of your Adventurer Handbook.

Best teams for All-Devouring Narwhal in Genshin Impact

As scary as the All-Devouring Narwhal looks, it’s not too difficult of an opponent to actually fight in comparison to some of the other bosses you’ve already faced. The only two factors to consider when building a team to go against it are to avoid having Hydro characters within your team when possible and to always bring a Pneuma and Ousia character to make the fight much easier.

This means you’ll absolutely want to bring a Fontaine character no matter what. So regardless of what team you use, make sure you have one of the following characters on it even if they are Hydro.

• Furina
• Lyney
• Wriothesley
• Neuvillette
• Lynette
• Charlotte
• Freminet

To take on the All-Devouring Narwhal, you’ll want a strong DPS, a powerful secondary damage dealer to back them up, some kind of support who can bolster the rest of the team, and a healer or shielder to make the battle easier.

Some strong team builds you can use to take on the All-Devouring Narwhal are as follows, but keep in mind pretty much any team lineup will work as long as you have a well-balanced build.

How to beat the All-Devouring Narwhal in Genshin Impact

To beat the All-Devouring Narwhal, you’ll essentially want to wait until it surfaces to attack it and use Pneuma or Ousia against its Eye of Maelstrom when it shows up.

Once you get past the first face by doing this, the All-Devouring Narwhal will swallow you and move you to the second phase of the fight to battle the Dark Shadow. Continue to make use of Pneuma and Ousia to make this fight easier.

After you’ve defeated the Dark Shadow, you’ll be sent back to finish off the All-Devouring Narwhal. Just keep dealing strong attacks against it when it arises and using Pneuma and Ousia against it when possible and the battle will be over before you know it.
