Genshin Impact 4.0 update is all set to release on August 16, and it will bring brand new characters, region, weapons, and more into the game. In addition to this, you will also have to fight against new bosses and enemies to farm materials, and artifacts, or complete new quests. One of these is the Emperor of Fire and Iron boss, the ultimate form of Fontemer Aberrant's evolution that looks like a big crab with a small volcano on its back.
As per the official description, the Emperor of Fire and Iron is "An ancient ruler of the Fontemer Aberrants that lives in the caverns. It is said to have witnessed the seas of Fontaine before the first diluvian period."
If you are looking to challenge Emperor of Fire and Iron, here is its exact location and tips to beat it.
Genshin Impact Emperor of Fire and Iron Location and How To Beat It
Emperor of Fire and Iron is located in the depths of a cave in Fontaine, and you can find its location marked on the map above.
However, you will not be able to directly find it there, and instead, you will have to first teleport to the location marked on the map below using the Teleport Waypoint on the Southwest side of West of Mont Automneqi.
From there, go into the water and reach the next location marked on the map and dive down from there, and you will see an opening to an underwater cave.
Go inside it and keep moving forward, and you will eventually reach the opening of a huge cave where you will find the Emperor of Fire and Iron. You can unlock the Teleport Waypoint that is there at the opening of the cave, so you can teleport directly near the boss in the future.
Now, beating Emperor of Fire and Iron is not very difficult, if you are successful in dodging its fire attacks. In intervals, it will start throwing fireballs at you, and they will deal heavy Pyro damage to you, so make sure to dodge them or use a shield character like Zhongli to avoid the damage.
In addition to this, once in a while when it stops, and its horns turn into fire, it will soon give you a burst fire damage. In this case, if you don't have a shield character, make sure to run away from him quickly to avoid heavy damage.
Apart from using a shield character like Zhongli, we would recommend you build a team using a Cryo character like Ayaka, an Electro character like Raiden Shogun, a Dendro character like Nahida, or a Hydro character like Kokomi in order to give heavy damage to Emperor of Fire and Iron and beat it quickly.
Upon killing it successfully, you will get multiple rewards; however, one of the main rewards will be Emperor's Resolution.
