Apep Oasis Guardian in Genshin Impact: How to Find and Defeat

In Genshin Impact, Apepa Oasis Guardian is a Dendro dragon and a weekly boss added to the game with the release of Update 3.6 and available as part of the Dungeon of Punishment. It drops valuable materials needed to ascend certain characters.

In this guide, we will tell you how to find and defeat this legendary Emerald Grass Dragon, considering in detail all of its attacks and movements, as well as indicating the recommended commands and the best tactics to fight him.

Where to find Apep Oasis Guardian

In order to gain access to the fight with this boss, you will first need to unlock a special dungeon by completing the second chapter of the Legends of Nahida quest. After that, you will be able to challenge this Dendro dragon at any time, but you will be able to collect rewards for defeating him only once a week. Let's add that in the quest this enemy is noticeably weaker than in the weekly battles.

The entrance to the dungeon is located in the northernmost desert region of Sumeru. To have the game mark its location for you, simply select the desired dungeon in the Dungeons of Punishment section of the Adventurer's Handbook. Then you will need to choose the difficulty of the battle depending on the pumping of your characters.

Before the battle, make sure you have 60 Elemental Resin (or 30 if it's one of the first three weekly boss battles this week), otherwise you won't be able to get the reward later.

Apepa Oasis Guardian Stats

Even in its initial form, the Emerald Grass Dragon has a 70% resistance to Dendro damage, so we do not advise you to take heroes of the corresponding element into the team. As for the rest of the elements and physical damage, his resistance to them is only 10%, which makes it easier to create an optimal squad.

If we talk about the main attributes, then in the first form, Apep is relatively weak, therefore, it does not pose a serious threat, but this changes dramatically by the third phase, in which the enemy’s health scale approaches 900 thousand units, and his attack power is almost 25 thousand points. Plus, he can perform some extremely powerful area-of-effect attacks.

Thus, he is definitely not a weak opponent. The full stats for this boss (in three forms) can be found in the pictures above (2P, 3P and 4P show the stats when playing co-op).

Recommended Characters

Hero Selection Tips

In theory, almost any heroes are suitable for the battle with this enemy, with the exception of those related to the Dendro of the elements, since they will inflict little damage on him. However, in practice, the best choice will be damage dealers that can hit with elemental attacks from afar. This way you won't have to stand close to the boss, putting yourself in great danger.

An example of such a main DPS is Gan Yu or Eimiya, whose elemental shots can deal tons of damage to a single target from a safe distance.

Of course, it will be useful to strengthen the main damage with supports and sub-DPS, which increase damage and help create various spontaneous reactions. Be sure to take a good healer (Kokomi, Bennet, Kuki Shinobu, Genie) and/or a shielder (Zhong Li, Dione, Layla), as the enemy can deal huge damage to your characters.
