How to complete the Crucible of Doom in Genshin Impact

To complete all 600,000 point challenges, consider their specific features and general preparation recommendations:

• Unlock all types of firearms and try to find as many as possible details to improve it;
• First, play through the map on the lowest difficulty level to get a feel for the terrain and enemy composition;
• Keep an eye on skill cooldowns and enemy statuses to more effectively trigger elemental reactions.

If cold buildup is a problem, combine Shatanaya's Frost Silver and Ashamez's Thunder - the combination of Cryo and Electro creates a Starlight Prism that retains heat.

Breakthrough of the formation

Recommended weapons:

• Thunder of Ashamez;
• Balsag's solar wheel (Krio);
• Granatite (Pyro/Hydro).

Destroy large groups of smaller units by applying Cryo status and aiming with the Electric Rifle. Then switch to stronger units. If you're struggling to survive, use Water Bombs to inflict Freeze, but don't overuse them: they'll come in handy for the final boss fight.

When you don't have time to eliminate small pawns, focus first on the medics (fighters with spears) and snipers on the rooftops: the former can cast Electro Shields on nearby allies, and the snipers on the rooftops.

Upon reaching the last Oprichnik stormtrooper in the cave, first drop all your Hydro Grenades, alternating them with Cryo shots from the grenade launcher to effectively immobilize the boss. While he's reloading, fire your assault rifle to cast Superconductor.

Melee Fury

Suitable weapons:

• Frost Silver of Shatanaya;
• Balsag's solar wheel (Cryo, Pyro);
• Garnet (Electro).

Star Guide — the best reaction for quickly reducing enemy HP in narrow corridors and small areas of the map. Actively switch between all weapons to trigger elemental reactions as often as possible.

Encounters with elite warriors will go faster if you destroy the explosive barrels first. Take advantage of the resulting Pyro status to activate Overload and launch the enemy into the air, temporarily disabling them.

Freezing Hurricane

Best weapons:

• Thunder of Ashamez;
• Balsag's solar wheel (Pyro);
• Garnet (Hydro/Electro).

Most of the level is made up of groups of common creatures, easily dispatched with a well-aimed rifle shot. Keep an eye on your combo counter and move quickly around the map, sprinting and rolling, to keep it from dropping to zero.
