To reach it, begin "A Long Day in the Mountains" quest chain and complete the "Unofficial Chronicles of the Desert Pavilion" stage. After clearing the area of ​​the watcher's influence, you can speak with Mardava and fight the monster.

The arena is located in the northwest corner of the Desert Pavilion. Before the fight begins, the boss is locked in a dimensional trap. Choose the appropriate dialogue option with the Sumerian to start.

After the first encounter, tracking becomes available through the Chronicles of Valor with Katerina. He can also be encountered on the 12th floor. the Abyss under the name of Experienced Earthman Geo Morovik.

How long does it take for the boss to respawn?

The Blessed With Excess can be defeated once per real-world day. It only returns after a server update.

How to defeat Maha Vasudevayaputra in Genshin Impact

The enemy has no special elemental resistances, but requires a Lunar or regular Bloom team. The Scorched effect makes it more aggressive and powerful, and to remove the condition, fill the bar next to its HP bar with Dendro damage.

Try not to use Electro and Pyro - they make the enemy to activate the special mechanic faster.

Two of the three goals revolve around keeping it in its normal form.

Top Teams

Set up your team around a Hydro or Dendro damage dealer. Catalysts of these elements work best with a sub-damage dealer of the second element. Focus on one of three group types:

• Lunar-Bloom;
• teams of dancer Nilou;
• normal Bloom.

Consider these options:

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Nefer	Columbina Aino	Lauma	Nahida Baizhu	Lunar-Bloom Group. The last slot is optional: choose a hero based on your skills and survivability. The main thing is to stay close to the monster and don't let it turn into Scorched.
Nahida	Nilou	Lauma	Kokomi Barbara	Bountiful Cores hit harder than regular Buds, but keeping the boss in normal form requires a reliable Dendro sub-DD. In such a team, it's best to attack with Kokomi or Barbara, who will activate the reaction.
Nahida Lauma	Yelan Xingqiu	Furina	Baizhu	A team with two Resonances. Although it lacks a buffer like Nilou to help detonate the buds, it's possible to defeat the monster with powerful Hydro sub-DDs.
Columbina	Nahida	Furina	LaumaBaizhu	The composition is similar to the option above, but more expensive and stronger. Ideally, the fourth slot should have Lauma C1, and Nahida or Columbina has to wield Prototype Amber to compensate for the lack of a full-fledged healer. If survivability is really tight, you can swap the priestess for Baizhu.

Get back to normal state

At the start of the battle, the mushroom envelops itself in Pyro and enters a powered-up phase. To earn the second reward, defeat Maha Vasudevayaputra after it has returned to its normal state at least once.

To do this, charge the bar next to the health bar with Dendro hits. The bar will light up when the boss loses the buff.

Defeat the boss before the second phase of Scorched

For the third objective, defeat Maha Vasudevayaputra after it first returns to normal but before it enters the Scorched state.

After the bar fills for the first time, keep it active and don't let it drop to the minimum. This isn't difficult if you have at least one Dendro Catalyst in your team. The main thing is to avoid companions with Pyro or Electro skills, as they will trigger the local legend's power-up and prevent you from meeting the requirements.

Rewards

Trophies for the three requirements can be obtained from Katheryne:

• Primogems ×60.
• Mora ×25.
• Crystalline Cyst Dust ×3.
• Rukkha­sha­va Mushrooms ×10.

Defeating Maha Vasudevayaputra is easy if you have at least one reliable Dendro companion. If you haven't beaten the other enemies from the Valiant Chronicles, we recommend reading the separate guide to local legends.
