Ruin Serpent Tunnel Route Map & Tunnel Entrance
Tunnel Route Map
Tunnel Entrance

In the full map, there's a Teleport Waypoint directly in front of the Ruin Serpent. However, it can only be unlocked after going through the tunnel on the way there! The tunnel is tricky to find even though it's near the first camp with Jinwu because it's located above it.

How to Get to the Ruin Serpent Guide

	How to Reach to the Ruin Serpent
1	To accurately locate the tunnel, you need to mark the entrance on the map then use the navigate function to get there. Note: The image above shows which to mark with only the first area unlocked and with the entire map lit up.
2	Use the Teleport Waypoint directly adjacent to the camp in the first quest.
3	Climb three sets of stairs up. You will encounter enemies on the way that you can defeat.
4	Climb the third set of stairs then up a ladder until you see a long bridge with a Seelie Court statue near it.
5	Cross the bridge and defeat enemies you encounter on the way!.
6	Keep going straight until you see the tunnel entrance!
7	Enter the tunnel and just follow it until you reach the end where you'll see the Teleport Waypoint directly in front of the Ruin Serpent! You'll need to glide down to start fighting it.

How to Beat the Ruin Serpent

Clear Out Oozing Concretions

The Ruin Serpent will burrow and create fields of Dark Mud and Oozing Concretions around the arena. Use your Lumenstone Adjuvant to clear the Oozing Concretions from the main bulb.

Watch Out for the Siphoning Attack

The Ruin Serpent will spin around and siphon energy from the Oozing Concretions. Prevent this from absorbing the Oozing Concentration around it with your Lumenstone Adjuvant!

Doing this will immediately dispel the Dark Mud around it and will paralyze the Ruin Serpent for a short period.

How to Clear Oozing Concretions

Get Lumen Energy from Geo Crystals

When the Ruin Serpent generates crystals in the arena, you can use Geo characters to destroy it and create Lumen energy! You need the Lumen energy to use your Lumenstone Adjuvant and destroy the Oozing Concretion.

Avoid the Sweeping Attack

The Ruin Serpent readies itself and smashes down the ground. Afterward, it'll do a sweeping attack from left to right. Either take your distance or bring a character that can shield you!

Characters that Can Shield You

You can also use Geo to create Crystallized shields! In which case, Gorou is good for this reaction, as he can attract crystals when his Elemental Burst is up.
