Sigurd is undoubtedly the coolest boss added in Genshin Impact Luna I. He is a Nod-Krai Local Legend who cannot be accessed until a specific quest is finished by players. This quest is also well hidden, only surfacing after players collect three specific items by exploring Lempo Isle. Sigurd is not only a cool-looking boss but also challenging. In this guide, learn how you can find and defeat Sigurd in Nod-Krai in Genshin Impact.
How to Find the Sigurd Local Legend in Genshin Impact
Sigurd can be found on the western coastline of Barrowmoss Barrens. However, you will first have to unlock him by completing The Bell of Mourning Echoes quest. Sigurd is a legendary Light Keeper whose incredible willpower manifests from time to time in fights against the Wild Hunt. However, this has also caused Sigurd’s soul to become corrupted, making him truly a terrifying foe in Nod-Krai.
Once you complete the aforementioned quest, you will be able to summon Sigurd next to his grave and fight him as a Local Legend in Genshin Impact. Now, defeat him to mark him in the Valiant Chronicles of Nod-Krai.
How to Defeat Sigurd in Genshin Impact
Sigurd Movesets
- Demonbane Strike: A strong AoE attack that can one-shot your active character if they don’t have a large health pool. Whenever you see a large purple circle forming underneath, dash out of it immediately. If you don’t want to avoid the attack, use shields or characters with a larger health pool.
- Summons Wilderness Exiles: In Sigurd’s second phase, he will summon multiple Wild Hunt enemies in the battle. Whenever they appear, you have to quickly defeat them to avoid getting overwhelmed. Keeping them alive allows Sigurd to quickly charge his Demonbane Strike.
- Health Bar Mitigation: Similar to other Wild Hunt enemies, bringing Sigurd’s HP to zero isn’t enough to defeat him. Doing this will cause his health bar to shorten permanently as he regains his remaining health. You’ll have to continuously bring his health to zero and deplete his maximum health pool completely. Furthermore, Sigurd enters his second phase after his health hits zero for the first time in the fight.
Beat Sigurd in Genshin Impact
Defeating Sigurd is fairly challenging in Genshin Impact. This enemy is particularly tanky, deals a ton of damage, and summons allies on top of it. From my frequent tests, I have found that Electro-teams does more damage to Sigurd. So, Electro-charged, lunar-charged, overload teams would do well against Sigurd.
Moreover, Vape and Reverse Vape teams also fared pretty well against this Local Legend. However, one team that failed to make much impact was Bloom and its related reactions during my tests.
The plan to defeat Sigurd is simple: continue dealing damage, but also prepare to avoid his Demonbane Strike attack. Other than that, try to defeat the summoned enemies as quickly as possible.
Best Teams for Sigurd in Genshin Impact
1. Ineffa-Kazuha Lunar Charged
Currently, Ineffa‘s Lunar Charged team is the best for defeating Sigurd in the Nod-Krai region. However, I had to slightly tweak her team for the best results. The team that worked against Sigurd was replacing Tartaglia with Kaedehara Kazuha, while using Kokomi to apply Hydro and use her as the main DPS. This allowed crowd control and swirl damage, giving me more control in the second phase of Sigurd.
- Support: Yelan
- Main DPS: Kokomi
- Support: Kaedehara Kazuha
- Sub-DPS: Ineffa
2. Arlecchino Vape team
Another team that worked wonders against the Sigurd boss is Arlecchino’s Vape team. This team uses Yelan to apply Hydro, Kazuha to crowd control, and Zhongli as a shielder. Zhongli can help you block Sigurd’s Demonbane Strike ability, while increasing interruption resistance for Arlecchino.
- Support: Yelan
- Main DPS: Arlecchino
- Support: Kaedehara Kazuha
- Sub-DPS: Zhongli
3. Flins Lunar Charged
Once Flins is released, you can use him in the same team instead of Kazuha. This is the best Lunar Charged team in Genshin Impact, but unfortunately, Flins will be released in the second half of the update.
- Main DPS: Flins
- Support: Kokomi
- Sub-DPS: Ineffa
- Support: Yelan
