The Emperor of Fire and Iron is a world boss found in an underwater cave in Fontaine for Genshin Impact 4.0. Check out how to get to the Emperor of Fire and Iron's location, how to beat it, its weakness, and its boss drops here!
List of Contents
The Emperor of Fire and Iron is found in the Belleau Region of Fontaine. You have to dive underwater to get to this boss' location.
Before heading to the boss location, activate the Statue of Seven in Fontaine to gain the Fontaine's Blessing, which will allow you to dive.
Underwater Combat and Exploration Guide
After activating the Statue of Seven, the Boss Icon will appear on the map. You can get to that place by taking the boat on Romaritime Harbor or by using the teleport waypoint.
Dive beneath water and look for the large tunnel opening next to the Fontemer Aberrants. Simply enter and follow the tunnel path within until you reach the Emperor's lair.
Make sure you activate the teleport waypoint inside so you can quickly travel to the boss location. Beware of the boiling water in some parts of the cave that can lower your HP, similar to the Balethunder in Inazuma.
The Emperor of Fire and Iron boss' weakpoints are its twin horns, imbued with Pyro energy. When the horns are closer to the ground, use Elemental Reactions, preferrably with Hydro, to destroy the shield and slow its attacks!

Ayato is the best Hydro DPS against the Emperor of Fire and Iron! Kokomi and Kazuha can provide additional support in terms of destroying the enemy's Pyro shield. It's also best to pick characters you can spam attack with once the Emperor is stunned.

The Emperor of Fire and Iron is weak to Hydro the most, followed by Electro. You can also get rid of his Pyro shield by using Hydro and Electro to trigger Vaporize and Overloaded reactions!
The Emperor of Fire and Iron digs its feet into the ground and launches a volley of fireballs from the volcano-like cannon on its back. This attack deals Pyro DMG in a small AoE that can easily be avoided.
The Emperor of Fire and Iron will coat its larger claw with lava and strike the ground, causing lava to overflow in a straight line and dealing Pyro DMG to everything in its path.
The Emperor of Fire and Iron jumps into the air and crashes to the ground in a small AoE marked by a red circle on the ground just before it lands.
The Emperor burrows into the ground until only its top half and horns are visible. It will charge up and release a massive lava flow, dealing Pyro DMG to the entire arena!
You can avoid this by standing at the edges of the arena and wait for the ground to return to normal.
