Alright, fellow Travelers, let’s talk about one of the most satisfying (and kind of nerve-wracking) challenges in Genshin Impact—Atlatl’s Blessing. This one’s hidden in Natlan, and it’s a real test of patience and skill. You’ve got to rely on your timing, parrying skills, and Traveler’s strength since you’ll be flying solo. No fancy elemental reactions here!
Now, if you’re looking to conquer this fight and grab those sweet achievements, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been through it (probably more times than I care to admit), so let me help you break it down.
Finding Atlatl’s Blessing Location
First things first—where the heck is it? Atlatl’s Blessing is tucked away in Natlan, and it’s not just out in the open waiting for you to stumble upon it. You’ve got to dig a little deeper (literally).
Here’s how you find it:
- Teleport to the Ancient Watchtower Weapon Ascension Material domain in Natlan.
- Walk east until you see a big waterfall (it’s hard to miss).
- Head to the base of that waterfall, and you’ll notice a hidden cave entrance.
Boom—there’s your prize. Inside, you’ll spot the Special Obsidian Totem, which starts the Night’s Trial. Now we’re talking!
How to Beat Atlatl’s Blessing
Alright, buckle up. You’re about to face Atlatl’s Blessing, and it’s a whole different beast. This isn’t your usual “throw a few fireballs and be done with it” fight. You’re stuck with the Traveler, no fancy team to back you up, and the game’s making you work for it.
So here’s how you’re going to survive:
- Master the Parry
This fight is all about timing. You’ve got to parry Atlatl’s attacks perfectly to charge up your Ultimate. Mess up a parry, and your health will take a hit. Nail it, though, and your Traveler becomes an unstoppable force (well, kind of). - Use the Stagger Window
When you use your Ultimate, Atlatl gets staggered—this is your moment to go all-in. Don’t hold back, just keep attacking. But once the window’s over, get ready to parry again, because Atlatl hits fast. - Patience is Key
Atlatl’s quick attacks will test your reflexes, but don’t rush. It might take a couple of tries to get the timing down, but once you do, you’ll feel like a parry master.
How to Get All 3 Achievements
Now, if you’re a completionist (like me), you’re probably aiming for all three achievements. Luckily, I’ve got the lowdown on how to snag them without pulling your hair out.
- Defeat Atlatl’s Blessing
This one’s a freebie—you beat Atlatl, and boom, you get your achievement. A handful of Primogems for your trouble. - Parry Every Power Attack
Now this one’s a bit trickier. Atlatl’s Blessing throws 11 power attacks at you throughout the fight, and you need to parry every single one in one run. Miss just one? Yeah, you’ve got to start over. But once you get a feel for the timing, it’s totally doable. - Take No Damage
Weirdly enough, this is actually easier than parrying all the power shots. As long as you’re cautious, dodge when needed, and only parry when you’re 100% sure, you’ll walk away without a scratch. And hey, 20 Primogems for your effort!
Pro Tips for Success
- Equip a Strong Sword: Just because you’re stuck with the Traveler doesn’t mean you can’t bring a killer weapon. Grab the highest ATK sword you have (like Mistplitter Reforged if you’re lucky enough to have it) to speed up the fight.
- Practice Makes Perfect: I won’t lie, parrying takes practice. But once you’ve got it down, you’ll be dancing around Atlatl’s Blessing like a pro.
- Stay Calm: I know, easier said than done. But panicking mid-fight is a sure way to miss those parries. Take a breath and keep your cool—you got this.
Conclusion
Atlatl’s Blessing isn’t just another Genshin boss—it’s a test of your patience, your timing, and your parrying skills. But once you’ve got the hang of it, trust me, it’s incredibly satisfying. Plus, those achievements and Primogems make it totally worth it. So, go out there, practice your parries, and show Atlatl’s Blessing who’s boss.
