Attention all Genshin Impact players! A new update is on the horizon, and according to a recent leak, it will bring some exciting new additions. Among them are new weekly bosses, including a giant snake named Apep. Additionally, there will be an expansion of the desert region where Apep can be found. But be warned: if previous snake bosses are any indication, the fight against Apep will be very challenging, with many frustrating mechanics that unnecessarily prolong the battle.
Who or what is Apep?
Apep is an impressive, giant snake and a friend of King Deshret and the parent of the Wenut snakes found throughout the Sumeru desert. The fight against Apep will not be easy, as previous snake bosses have already presented very inconvenient mechanics. For example, they can fly or hide underground to avoid damage. The Golden Wolflord even has a time-consuming mini-game to destroy his shield. The fight against Apep is guaranteed to be a challenge.
New boss materials for Kaveh and Baizhu?
According to rumors, Kaveh and Baizhu, the two new Dendro characters in the game, will require Apep's boss materials for their evolution. It is therefore very likely that many players will prepare for this battle as soon as they can obtain these characters.
Leak and release date
The information comes from the well-known Genshin Impact leaker, Merlin Impact, who posted a picture of the boss on Twitter. Although there is no official date for the update, players can expect it to be released in the near future. According to rumors, there will also be an expansion of the desert area where Apep can be found. We are certainly excited and looking forward to fighting this impressive snake - and hoping for a rewarding reward for our efforts.
