Primo Geovishap in Genshin impact — a mighty dragon that hid underground after the attack of the Storm Terror and acts as a world boss from Liyue. Together with their geovishaps, he fell into hibernation under the Tianqiu Valley, awaiting his time. The creature easily adapts to the elements and is able to change its elemental form, which also determines the creature's vulnerability.
In this guide, we will figure out where to find the Primo Geovishap, how to defeat it, and also for the elevation of which characters the resources that drop from this boss will be useful.
How to get to the Primo Geovishap in Genshin Impact
The Primo Geovishap can be found at the very beginning of the game, after completing the starting quest chain in Mondstadt, as soon as you can freely move around the map. This boss also has a world quest associated with it. "Even the mountains tremble", which can be taken from Liyue Harbor. Killing the dragon as part of this quest will allow you to receive an additional reward for it once.
The route to the Primo Geovishap should start from the teleportation point near the Southern Heavenly Gate in the Jade Forest.
As soon as you appear next to her, start moving forward in such a way that the small lake remains on the right.
Head southeast until you see a small path leading into a cave. Inside, you'll find a large hole with an Primo Geovishap at the bottom. Once you drop down into the arena, the creature will awaken and the fight will begin.
Who to take into the squad to fight the Primo Geovishap
The main feature of the Primo Geovishap is its ability to absorb the element of the hero who fights it, as well as change the element right during the battle. Initially, the boss can appear in one of its four forms (Cryo, Hydro, Pyro and Electro), depending on the element of the character who first approaches it. If you start a fight with the creature using Geo, Anemo or Dendro, the dragon will absorb a random element. You can determine the current element of the boss by its color.
Initially, the Primo Geovishap has:
- 50% resistance to Geo damage and to the elements absorbed by it;
- 30% to physical attacks;
- 10% to each of the other elements.
In order to avoid encountering high resistance of the creature to the attacks of the main damage dealer, it is worth using Anemo or Dendro characters. If you don’t have any, you can cheat a little and approach the creature as a whose element is different from your main DD. For example, if there is a Hydro in a squad with a Cryo damage dealer, it is worth approaching the boss as him.
Another important condition when selecting characters for battle is the presence of a shielder in the squad (priority - Geo element), who can repel one of the powerful attacks of the boss, thereby causing him huge damage. Otherwise, the choice of a group for the battle with the monster does not play a big role. Despite the large amount of HP, you can defeat the Primo Geovishap with almost any well-composed squad.
Top Teams
The best way to deal with Primo Geovishap is with units that can deal 2 or more types of elemental damage. Ideally, in addition to the main DD and , the team also has a sub-DD with an excellent element for stable damage in the event of the dragon changing its element.

Boss attacks and abilities
Depending on the combat distance, the boss's behavior may differ. He is capable of using both long-range and close-range attacks. Let's take a closer look at all the main skills to easily kill the Primo Geovishap.
Paw strikes
In close combat, the Primo Geovishap can begin to swing its paws. This can be either a single attack or a series of several swings that will end with a strong blow over an area.
Primal stream
One of the boss's most powerful attacks. The creature suddenly stops and begins to exhale a stream of elemental energy, which deals elemental damage over a large area. To defend yourself, direct this attack against the boss and deal massive damage to him, use a Geo Shield or a shield of the same element that he attacks with.
Jumping out of the ground
If the hero is at a distance from the dragon, the creature can try to close the distance by burrowing underground and quickly moving towards the active character. After that, it will jump out and deal a strong blow to the area.
Exploding spikes
The boss throws small structures around itself, charged with elemental energy. After some time, the spikes explode and deal elemental damage in an area, depending on what element the dragon has during the attack.
Elemental Breathing
The ancient geovishap stops and begins to spew a stream of elemental energy from its mouth.
How to Defeat Primo Geovishap in Genshin Impact
Before you engage in the boss fight, here are some tips to help you defeat the Primo Geovishap.
Use shields
A strong shield can not only protect the squad from receiving random damage, but also help to greatly reduce the boss's HP by reflecting the Primordial Flow. Watch for the corresponding inscription on the screen and update the shield skill in time.
Dodge attacks
Although it is advisable to maintain shields during the fight with the Primo Geovishap, it is worth ing that the boss's attacks deal significant damage and quickly break through even the strongest defense. That is why it is worth watching the markers of his attacks and, if possible, dodging them.
Pick up elemental crystals
If there are characters with the Geo element in the squad, crystals regularly appear on the battlefield. When they are raised, an elemental shield is formed around the hero, capable of absorbing some damage from the boss's attacks. It is important to that a crystal shield can only absorb the element of its type. To get a crystal of a certain element, you need to create its reaction with Geo.

We hope this guide helped you find out where to find and how to kill the Primo Geovishap in Genshin Impact. If you still have questions after reading this, you can ask them in comments. Follow the exit guide to other bosses.
I can't achieve reflection, I'm fed up already. I use shield and geo under the element. He uses the flow, recoils and that's it.
This question arose. Maybe stupid, but still. For several days the vishap does not change the elements. Are there any conditions? Or should I just wait? :\
Try to kill him and wait for him to resurrect
This is misinformation. You need to not use the geo shield and the elemental shield like the boss. I did as it is written on the site 20 times - no achievement, I did a different element than the boss once (I came across a comment on YouTube) - voila, the first time)
it's a bug or not, but when you create a geo shield that does not match the elements of the geowishap, it does not get damaged during a powerful AoE attack, it's very inconvenient
like the shield must be of the same element for the boss to hit
What the hell is a "tactic"? The inscription "cover yourself with a shield" appears on the screen - use the shield, after a few repetitions of this, the boss will die.
One may ask why only Xiao needs immature jade, but Hu Tao and Yanfei also need it
thank you, we will add) the manual has not been updated for a long time
Perhaps the post was made in light of the patch (they say this boss will appear in the abyss again). And since it is written about finding the location, this post is more intended for new players.
