Genshin Impact Leak Reveals New Nightsoul Trials for Version 5.2+

by Junna Base November 12, 2024

According to the latest beta build, Genshin Impact expands the Nightsoul Trials in version 5.2 with four new challenging opponents that players have to face. While most of the open world in Genshin Impact can be conquered by a wide variety of teams, the Local Legends are an exception in every respect. Despite the existence of the Spiral Abyss and the Imaginarium Theater, one could argue that Local Legends represent the greatest challenge Genshin Impactespecially with the way they developed in Natlan.

In contrast to Fontaine in Genshin ImpactNatlan features Nightsoul Trials in addition to the roaming local legends found in the overworld. Night Soul Trials take the player to a remote arena by interacting with Night Soul Totems in Natlan. These arenas have unique combat rules that players must overcome to battle the local legend. Although the current number of Nightsoul Trials in Genshin Impact is six, version 5.2 aims to add four more to the mix.

The Xbox release of Genshin Impact should open the floodgates

While the release of Genshin Impact on Xbox is a big deal in itself, it may just be the start of a big change for the genre on Xbox platforms.

As determined by HomDGCat, Genshin Impact will add four new Nightsoul Trials in version 5.2. Players can find Potapo’s Solidarity, Tupayo’s Aid, Spirit of the Fallen Dawnstar, and Ironbeard in the upcoming Natlan Zone by interacting with the corresponding Nightsoul Totem. By conquering all four Nightsoul Trials as well as three new local legends in the overworld, players will receive a new Duelist Name Card Genshin Impact. While the Nightsoul Trials are tough by design, they are safe Genshin Impact Characters can give players a notable advantage.

Genshin Impact Nightsoul Challenges in version 5.2

Potapos solidarity

The Wayob will manifest itself in guardian spirits and hostile spirits.
When a character is healed, the guardian spirits also heal. When they have accumulated enough healing, they will attack the enemy spirit.

Tupayo’s help

The Wayob will summon the heavenly flames throughout the arena. Avoid them by flying into the air over the fields of gaseous phlogiston. You can also interrupt the call by swooping down on the Wayob with gaseous phlogiston.

Spirit of the Fallen Dawnstar

Characters near the sacrificial braziers deal additional Pyro damage with their charged attacks.
The Iktomisaurus will float in the air and gain an ice shield, freezing the sacrificial braziers and unleashing powerful attacks.
Thaw the sacrificial braziers with Pyro or use Masters of the Night Wind characters to craft new sacrificial braziers.

Ironbeard

The enemy creates molten barbs that explode after a while, dealing massive damage.
Use geo attacks or dash attacks to destroy the molten barbs before they explode. If you destroy them with dash attacks, the enemy will take additional damage.

Among the four Nightsoul Trials added in version 5.2, Potapo’s Solidarity seems to be the most interesting. While the other three fights are straightforward, Potapo’s Solidarity allows healers like Kokomi or Xianyun to shine. On the other hand, Spirit of the Fallen Dawnstar was probably designed for characters like Yoimiya or Lyney, with the latter expected to appear in the event banners for version 5.2 of Genshin Impact.

When it comes to challenging Ironbeard, a Navia team that focuses on dive attacks would likely be key to victory, while a character like Chasca will likely make Tupayo’s help significantly easier. Although the Nightsoul Trials can sometimes provide clues about future characters’ abilities, the only credible rumor is about Citlali Genshin Impact is that it will be a Cryo Shield support. Version 5.2 is scheduled to be released on November 20, 2024.
