• Complete the Archons main quest Through smoke and dark woods and start the quest Dreams, emptiness and deceitto end up in the desert in the story.

The sand worm Unut is located in the eastern part of Hadramavet, above Haj Nisut. There is also a teleportation point nearby, from which you will get into the cave with the boss. You can get to it by any route, it is land, so it will not be difficult to find it.

The teleporter is on a rock in front of the entrance to the cave where the boss lives. Along the way, you can meet small animals (snakes), from which, like vultures and other fauna of the desert, meat falls. You will also see the Sacred Bone Flying Serpent guarding the chest. The route will make it easier to collect flowers that add stamina.

You can ignore the enemies and run further, or deal with them if they cause inconvenience or need a resource. Don't stop until you see the cave deepen and look down to the lower level.

Climb down and immediately turn around. Now you need to run in the opposite direction, and not continue to move in the same direction.

Whom to take in the squad for the battle with Setekh Wenut

Since the worm belongs to Anemo and has an increased resistance to the native element in the form of 60%, it is not recommended to use the heroes of this element. Despite the fact that the resistance is not 100%, the characters that are best suited for the fight with Setekh's Unut are reacting with Anemo Pyro, Hydro, Electro and Cryo. This will allow you to destroy the balls of erosion, thereby lowering the resistance to the corresponding element, and even paralyze the enemy.

In addition, the boss is able to actively move around the arena and attack while hovering, and the erosion balls themselves can be quite high. Therefore, they will show themselves well archers и catalysts, which will deal constant damage regardless of the current position of the enemy. If there are no pumped rangers available, mobile heroes with abilities that deal high burst damage.

Boss attacks and abilities

During the battle, Setekh Wenut actively moves around the arena, performing the following actions:

• The main part of the battle dives underground, after which it crawls out to the surface and moves towards the nearest character. Deals damage on hit and then disappears again for a few seconds in the depths of the sands.

• At a certain moment, while hovering, it makes an arcuate movement, taking off even higher. In flight, creates balls of erosion, which, after entering into a reaction with Pyro, Hydro, Electro and Cryo are destroyed and lower the boss's resistance to that element.

Video demonstration of the ability:

Keep in mind that the damage from the balls is very high, and without a shield or a powerful healer, it can easily kill a character.

• Suddenly appears from the ground at the place where the character is standing, protruding almost to his full height. To avoid damage, immediately run to the side. Otherwise, the hero will lose some HP and be knocked back a couple of meters.

• It rises from the ground to a small height and attacks with homing spheres. They are quite difficult to dodge and take a lot of health, so it's best to use a shield at this point.

• The boss gains a lot of height, but is slow and cannot change the trajectory. So the attack is easy to avoid by going to the side.

• Deals damage with a beam that rises from the bottom up, focusing on the place where the hero is standing. Move right or left to avoid losing HP.

• An attack similar to the previous one, but much stronger. The main difference is that the beam moves in a circle, so avoiding damage from it is more difficult. Team up with a Shielder or move a long distance.

• Appears from underground and shoots cores at the place on the ground where the character was standing. Since the attacks are not homing and are not directed specifically at the hero, it is easy to evade them. Enough time to run away.

• Spins counterclockwise and strikes with half of his body, which is on the surface, in a circle. In order not to lose HP, go a long distance.

How to beat Setekh Wenut in Genshin Impact

In this paragraph, we will take a closer look at how to kill Setekh Wenut using his features and vulnerabilities.

Change position during battle or use shields to dodge

The sandworm is constantly moving, and it is not always possible to determine where exactly it will appear from. If the team does not have shields, it is advisable not to stand in one place for a long time and carefully monitor the movements of the boss. Although he rarely stands still, his movements are slow enough to be dodged.

Team up with Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro characters

Setekh Wenut initially has a fairly low resistance to physical attacks and all elements (except Anemo) - 25%. In addition, its main mechanic involves interaction with air, which additionally lowers resistances to these elements and immobilizes the boss.

Use charged shots to destroy the erosion balls

While flying, the enemy can call erosion ballsresembling large Anemo particles. They must be attacked immediately to avoid a powerful blow to the area. Pyro, Electro, Cryo and Hydro archers are good for this, who deal elemental damage with charged shots.

If destroyed 2 balls in a row, the boss falls to the ground and becomes vulnerable for a few seconds.

Please note that in this state, the boss has no weak points, and you can hit both the head and the tail.

Accumulate energy and activate ults during the boss's vulnerability

Since it is not so easy to catch the enemy in one position, it is recommended to deal damage with elemental skills and normal attacks until the erosion balls appear. This will allow you to gradually fill the energy scale so that at the moment the boss falls, you can instantly defeat him with elemental explosions or other skills with high one-time damage.
