How to Clear City of the Deceased

Bring characters that can quickly defeat groups

The enemies inside the City of the Deceased come in groups, so bringing characters with strong area attacks is necessary to blitz through the domain.

Since each wave of enemies always have at least one slime present, you can rely on Anemo characters to trigger Swirl and deal AoE damage.

There are no hidden chests

To save you the trouble of checking every corner of every room in the domain: there are no hidden chests in the City of the Deceased. Every chest found inside the domain can be unlocked and obtained by defeating the enemies and completing the challenges along the linear path.
