Where to find Kineya

Kineas is located in a cave under the Capitoline Hill, located in the Sea of ​​​​antiquity. Complete the quest chain "Odes to Harmony" until you get to the second part of the Sea of ​​Antiquity location. Move east to the place where one of the roads on the map rests on a rock. Here is the entrance to the cave.

Go into it and activate the teleport. Vishap is in the arena nearby.

How to defeat Kineas

Kineus has a very impressive amount of health, and also attacks powerfully with the Hydro element. In addition, it is periodically closed by a Hydro Shield. Take Cryo, Pyro or Dendro characters to quickly remove the shield. The aura around the boss causes a lot of damage, so it is better to take ranged characters, as well as supports.

Attacks and battle tips

Despite the complexity of the battle, Kineus uses only a few options for attacks:

• Jumps forward and spins around himself, creating a Hydro Ring. Step aside so that the vishap does not hit the character.
• Gains strength and fires three Hydro projectiles. Hitting each of them takes away the hero's energy.
• Swings its paws twice, causing Hydro damage, and then hits the area in front of itself.
• Creates a water shield and an aura that constantly reduces the energy of the active character and deals damage to him. Move out of the aura's area of ​​effect to avoid high damage.
• Try to hit Kineas from a distance to remove the shield and not take unnecessary damage. The Legend will then enter a weakened state, allowing it to be attacked for a longer period of time.
