Genshin - Domain of Forsaken Ruins - Strong Enemies

Reach Recommended Character Level 45

The enemies in this domain are at Level 45 and are incredibly strong, so it's highly recommended that you level your characters and raise their weapons and artifacts first before challenging this domain!!

How to Level Up Characters

Bring A Strong Shield

Genshin - Domain of Forsaken Ruins - Bring Shields

The Stonehide Lawachurl and the Pyro Abyss Mages all hit hard, so having a strong shield like Noelle's or Zhongli's can greatly help in keeping your party alive.

Freeze Enemies in Place

Genshin - Domain of Forsaken Ruins - Freeze Enemies
Bring Cryo and Hydro Characters in your party to freeze enemies and keep them from attacking! We recommend freezing the Stonehide Lawachurl and defeating it first to make it easier to deal with the Abyss Mages.

Bring a Hydro Character to Defeat the Pyro Abyss Mages

Genshin - Domain of Forsaken Ruins - Vaporize Abyss Mage Shields
Hydro Characters that can continuously deal hydro damage is important in this domain. Barbara, Kokomi or Mona can make quick work of the Pyro Abyss Mage's shields!
