When it comes to boss respawn times in Genshin Impact, there’s actually a pretty straightforward system in place, though it can be a bit confusing for new players. Let me break this down in a way that’ll make your farming runs much more efficient.
Normal Boss Respawn Times
Regular world bosses like the Pyro Regisvine or Oceanid will respawn after just 3 minutes. This is fantastic news for players farming character ascension materials, as you won’t have to wait long between battles. Simply teleport away from the boss area, wait a few minutes, and you’re good to go for another round.
Weekly Boss Respawn Times
Weekly bosses are a different story altogether. These special enemies, including:
– Dvalin (Stormterror)
– Andrius (Wolf of the North)
– Childe
– Azhdaha
– Signora
– Raiden Shogun
Reset every Monday at 4:00 AM server time. You’ll only be able to claim rewards from these bosses once per week, regardless of how many times you defeat them.
Pro Tips for Boss Farming
Here’s a little trick I’ve learned from countless hours of boss farming: If you’re hunting normal bosses and don’t want to wait for the 3-minute respawn, you can actually speed up the process by:
1. Logging out of your account
2. Logging back in
3. The boss will have respawned immediately
Making the Most of Resin
Remember, while you can fight normal bosses as many times as you want, collecting their rewards will always cost 40 Original Resin. I usually recommend planning your boss runs around your daily resin refresh to maximize efficiency. For weekly bosses, your first three claims each week only cost 30 resin instead of 60, so try to take advantage of this discount.
Common Misconceptions
One thing I often hear from newer players is that they think they need to wait a full day for bosses to respawn. This isn’t true for normal world bosses – just remember the 3-minute rule and you’ll be fine. Some players also don’t realize that you can actually fight weekly bosses multiple times, even though you can only claim rewards once per week. This can be helpful for practicing fight mechanics or helping friends with their boss runs.
