Genshin Impact: How to find the Thunder Manifestation

For the winners of the Raiden Shogun banner, or at least those who went for Kujou Sara, the first barrier to level the girls was quickly set: Where is the boss we should fight to ascend them?

Here, we’ll show you step-by-step how to find one of the new bosses in Genshin Impact: The Thunder Manifestation. If you got both of them you will be fighting it for a long time, so be prepared!

Unlocking the quest

After the update, you may have noticed a new quest on Inazuma’s Katheryne. This questline must be completed in order to unlock the Thunder Manifestation and mark it on your map. 

After talking with her, she’ll ask you to find a pair of adventurers in one of the new areas, the Seirai Island. You must travel via Waverider to get there. And don’t worry, the Shogun won’t strike you down mid-ocean this time.

If you already unraveled the area simply teleport to the Statue of the Seven, since it’s the nearest to the marked area.

When you get there, the adventurers are trying to solve the mystery behind the Warding Stones. To do so, they’ll ask you to follow the cat tracks, which will end up in the Asase Shrine.

There, you’ll meet a cat named Neko (You’ll get an achievement for doing so, which is the best part of the quest.) The priestess cat will ask you to mend their offering box in order to bring people back to the abandoned shrine.

In order to do so, you’ll need to find some materials on the nearby island, which will lead you to the Treasure Hoarders once again. After beating them in two different locations, you’ll finally get your materials.

Bring them back to Neko and she’ll teach you how to restore the Warding Stones, which basically involves solving a puzzle, so nothing new here.

Cleansing the Warding Stones

This is the main part of the questline and will compose most of its steps. Go back to the Warding Stone and solve its puzzle. To do so, the number of charms in each of the poles must be equal to the number of charms pointed at them by the stone in the middle of the three.

You can solve this in two different ways: Brute-forcing it or trying to play fair-and-square. An easy solution is to position yourself between the two poles to the left (both have four charms on them) and rotate the stone until both of them are correctly pointed to four charms in the stone.

The next Warding Stone will be a little bit quirky since the third pole is far from the stone and the other two. But since you have two poles together, you can use the same strategy again. Position yourself between them and the final result should be the following:

The third Warding Stone may confuse you at first, but it’s pretty easy to get to. Go to the marked point and rotate the portal if it’s not already active. Patiently wait while you’re dragged to the opposite portal, and here’s where the fun begins.

To get to the Warding Stone you’ll need to use the Electrogranums in order to travel through the sky-lifted stones. You’ll find many Electroculus and Treasure Chests in the way, so take your time to explore if you want to.

The stone is right at the front of the Teleport, so it’s easy to go back for it after activating the poles. As usual, there’s a position which will show you two poles at the same time. Try to make your stone look like this:

It’s finally time for the last Stone. A few Electrogranum jumps later, you’ll find the final poles, just beside another Teleport. This is the easiest of them all. Just rotate down > up > up and the puzzle should be done. Here’s an image of how it should look:

Where to find the Thunder Manifestation

All that remains is to fight your so-desired opponent: the Thunder Manifestation, who you’ll find by simply jumping to the area in front of you. Go close to the center and prepare yourself!

The Thunder Manifestation has lots of HP, but its attacks are not as terrible to dodge as its Hydro counterpart’s beasts. Be sure to bring some shields and heals, though, and defeat it as quickly as possible.

After collecting your reward (if you want to), go back to the pair of adventurers. They’ll thank you for helping them restore the Warding Stones and will travel to the Asase Shrine in order to meet the talking cat.

After completing the quest, the Balethunder which previously affected some areas in Seirai Island will disappear (similar to restoring the Mikage Furnace), and it will be safe to walk through them. The Thunder Manifestation will also be pinned to your map, making it easier to find next time.

Just as a bonus, you can continue the questline by going back to the Asase Shrine and talking with Neko, but if your main objective was to find the new boss, you can leave this for later.

Genshin Impact is currently on the 2.1 version “Floating World Under the Moonlight” which features the next two islands in Inazuma and the conclusion of the Archon Quests in the region. Alongside the areas, new bosses, characters and enemies were also introduced.

You can play the game for free on Android and iOS, PC through both the miHoYo launcher and the Epic Games Store, Playstation 4, and Playstation 5. A Nintendo Switch version is stated to be in development. Good luck finding the Thunder Manifestation in Genshin Impact!
