In this part of the video, the creator discusses the challenges of completing Genshin Impact’s Spiral Abyss, specifically floor 12. They explain that while Spiral Abyss is generally easy for late-game players, floor 12 provides significant difficulty.
The first chamber consists of multiple waves of monsters, including Whopperflowers and Ancient Doritos, followed by three Abyss Lectors with elemental shields (hydro and cryo), which require strategic planning because of frequent freezing. Chamber two involves fighting the Dendro Chicken, which can one-shot players, and the Thunder Manifestation, which moves around the map quickly.
The final chamber contains four level 100 consecrated beasts that are difficult to group and navigate around, and they frequently one-shot players. To finish, one must fight a triple elemental shield Abyss Lector within three minutes per floor to obtain 36 stars.
The creator emphasizes their use of only four-star characters and weapons, rejecting five-star units to increase the challenge. They share their motivation to push their limits in character and team building, even referencing other skilled players who struggled with this challenge. A notable theory crafter mentioned it as the hardest Abyss 12 challenge with four-star characters. The creator concludes by outlining their strategy and team plan to tackle this content effectively.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses the challenges of choosing optimal characters for a specific game scenario. They highlight the difficulty presented by an enemy with 80% resistance to Dendro damage, which makes Dendro-based teams less effective. To counter this, the creator plans to use a strong team comprising Xiangling, Rosaria, Bennett, and Sucrose. Xiangling’s Pyronado and Rosaria’s burst are praised for their high damage potential, especially in combination. Bennett and Sucrose provide crucial support by boosting attacks, healing, generating energy, and shredding resistances.
The creator explains the complications in the second part of the scenario, which includes dealing with multiple elemental shields and enemies immune to Electro. They discuss strategies for overcoming these shields and mention the potential usage of a method that involves switching teams between floors for better efficiency, although they personally prefer to tackle challenges in a single run with locked teams. In this context, the team choice shifts to Toma Virgin, utilizing the heavy application of Pyro, Hydro, and Dendro elements to deal significant damage and effectively break the shields.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses their character selection for a Genshin Impact challenge, highlighting the importance of having a character who can apply dendro, heal, and generate energy. They choose Yaoyao for her dendro application and healing abilities and Fischl for her high DPS and energy generation, though they admit to being inexperienced with Fischl. The creator expresses frustration with the game’s mechanics and enemies, particularly their persistence in going underground. After multiple attempts and close calls, they reflect on the first day’s failure and note the importance of muscle memory and strategy adjustments. On day two, they try DPS Yanfei instead of Fischl for her consistent pyro application but find her too vulnerable and ultimately consider switching to another character, Xinyan.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their in-game experience and adjustments made to their character builds. They upgraded their Sacrificial Greatsword to level 20 and tweaked their build to improve energy regeneration. Despite these upgrades, they struggled to break electric shields due to passive inability. After a day off and consulting with a roommate, they devised a new approach focusing on a dynamic duo: Kalei and Yanfei. They switched from Yaoyao due to her inconsistent healing and dendro application. Kalei, with her shorter cooldowns and effective AOE burst, and Yanfei, with her C4 constellation creating a powerful shield, provided a more robust and defensive setup. This configuration aimed to balance dendro and pyro applications while also ensuring better team defense.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the benefits of the free-to-play weapon “Prototype Amber” for the character Yanfei, highlighting its ability to increase her shield size, regenerate energy, and heal the party. The speaker details their efforts to farm materials and craft five Prototype Ambers, as well as leveling them up to 90 using weapon materials and exp books. On the third and final day of their challenge, they demonstrate strategic gameplay, including muscle memory tactics and specific character abilities, to efficiently clear the Abyss floor. They emphasize particular strategies for grouping enemies and managing bursts, aiming to avoid negative effects such as being frozen.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the speaker celebrates climbing a difficult mountain and completing various challenges. They express excitement after easily handling a “thundermanifestation” and ensuring their team is prepared for the next chamber. The speaker describes an intense segment where they defeat multiple enemies, including a challenging boss who summons three types of shields (cryo, hydro, then pyro). Despite initial confidence, they admit to making a significant mistake by rushing and not considering the challenges of the final chamber, which led to struggling and feeling humbled.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the challenges faced during a gameplay session. They explain the need to manage energy distribution at the start of each run using Bennett’s particles to boost a character named Shēn Líng, which resulted in slower runs. Additionally, Bennett’s burst ability, which applies pyro, inadvertently caused adverse reactions during battles, leading to significant health loss when hit by enemy attacks. The speaker describes strategic positioning and particle management with characters like Rosaria and Shēn Líng to maintain efficiency and uptime of abilities like Xingqiu’s burst to maximize damage output. Despite a rough start, the speaker emphasizes the importance of positioning to keep enemies grouped and successfully clean them up, showcasing a manageable run.
