Genshin Impact
Pyro Hypostasis, strategies, weak points, and achievements
Defeat Ayin, the Pyro Hypostasis found north of the Kujou Encampment in Inazuma.
Ayin is a Pyro Hypostasis; unlike the rest of the Hypostases, this Boss will be covered in a shield you must destroy before you can do any damage; defeating it will reward you with Smoldering Pearls and Pyro Crystals.
Pyro Hypostasis Location
Pyro Hypostasis Arena
Strategy
Before you can do anything, you have to extinguish it with elemental reactions; don't bother with other elements, use Hydro.
While ignited, Ayin will use hard-to-dodge attacks, either by attacking fast or big Area of effect attacks, focus on extinguishing it, and keep an eye on your health.
When extinguished, the Pyro Hypostasis has three attacks, which leave it exposed to your attacks most of the time.
After a few attacks, Ayin will return to the center and try to reignite by summoning three Tinders; the progress is shown on the indicator below the health bar; you can interrupt it by hitting all of them with Hydro, each one will go down in one hit.
Weak Point
The Pyro Hypostasis doesn't have any weak spots or specific weaknesses; other than its Pyro Immunity, it is equally vulnerable to the rest of Physical/Elemental damage, but, since its core is always affected by Pyro, Elemental reactions will be really easy to trigger, especially Vaporize and Melt, Vaporize more than Melt.
Achievements
It's Quiet... Too Quiet...
Defeat the Pyro Hypostasis after it enters its extinguished state only once.
If you need more time, you can extend the extinguished state a couple of times by destroying all the Tinders if you are fast enough.
Burned Yourself, Did You?
Defeat a Pyro Hypostasis that has reignited twice.
Extinguish the Boss, let it reignite, extinguish the Boss, let it reignite, now start fighting seriously.
Smells like Animal Spirit!
Defeat a Pyro Hypostasis after being hit by its mimetic 3-hit Combo.
The 3-hit Combo is the Bull, the Fish, and the butterflies; get hit by all three consecutively to get the achievement; the explosion doesn't count, walk into the butterflies.
Operation Bonfire
Defeat a Pyro Hypostasis in Co-Op Mode.
