Tackling Natlan's New Local Legend: Infinitesimal
Conquer the formidable Infinitesimal in Natlan with our essential guide. Master its mechanics and unlock thrilling achievements for Primogems!
When we heard Fontaine's brutally satisfying Local Legends were migrating to Natlan, our team practically sprinted to the Ancient Sacred Mountain. There's something raw about facing an enemy designed purely to test your limits—no fancy storylines, just you versus a glorified punching bag that punches back way harder. Infinitesimal isn't just some reskinned Eroding Avatar of Lava; it's that enemy's angrier, beefed-up cousin who skipped leg day but perfected the art of one-shotting careless Travelers. Forget shields? Yeah, don't. This bad boy hits like a pyro slime strapped to a trebuchet.
⛰️ The Hunt Begins: Pinpointing Infinitesimal
After unlocking the Flame-Melding Ritual Grounds teleport waypoint, we headed west into a stark, lava-scorched arena. Spotting that lone Eroding Avatar? Easy. Getting close triggers the real show—its name flashing ominously across your screen like a personal challenge. Pro tip: Stock up on healing food. You'll need it.
🛡️ Brick Wall Blues: Breaking Down the Mechanics
Here's where Infinitesimal flexes its 'Legend' status:
-
Quadrupled HP & ATK (Scales with your World Level—ouch.)
-
Dual Protections:
-
Geo Ward Bar: Blocks ALL damage until shattered. Smash it with:
-
Claymore swings 🪓
-
Plunging Attacks
-
Geo Damage
-
-
Fury Bar: Fill it with relentless Pyro attacks 🔥
Only after BOTH bars are handled (Ward broken + Fury filled) does its RES drop to normal. Otherwise? You're chipping away at a mountain with 10% Elemental Resistance across the board. We learned the hard way: ignoring mechanics equals a very quick trip back to the Statue of the Seven.
🏆 Achievement Unlocked: Primogem Farming Guide
Infinitesimal dishes out three achievements under 'Duelist: Series III' for 35 Primogems total:
Achievement | How to Earn | Pain Level |
---|---|---|
"Just Took Down a Legend" | Defeat Infinitesimal | 😅 Moderate |
"Danced Through Earthshakers" | Avoid all hits from its Earthshaker Strike (triple ground slam) during the fight | 😰 Brutal |
"Timed Collapse Connoisseur" | Defeat it immediately after its FIRST weakened state (post Ward break + Fury fill) | 😮💨 Precision Required |
For that last achievement? Blitz the Ward first, whittle HP below 20%, then fill the Fury bar. Once it staggers—unleash everything. Hesitate? The protections reset, and so does your chance.
Watching Infinitesimal crumple after perfectly executing that sequence? Chef's kiss. But it leaves us wondering... are these punishingly precise achievements HoYoverse's way of nudging us toward meta team comps, or just love letters to the masochists among us? 🤔 Only Natlan's next Legend will tell.
