How to Defeat He Never Dies

Proc Overloaded When He's Charging

Genshin Impact - Proc Overloaded While Charging

When He Never Dies is charging his big, one-hit KO attack, proc Overloaded as much as possible. This will build up interruption within the enemy and can therefore cancel the attack altogether. It will also be stunned after so you can dish out more damage!

Recommended Team Against He Never Dies

At the start of the battle, you are told to "interrupt He Never Dies while charging" using interruptible attacks. One reaction comes to mind for this: Overloaded.

Overloaded has an inherent interruption capability and since He Never Dies is a small enemy, you can definitely juggle him.

Chevreuse Overload Team

Main DPS Support Support Support
Genshin - Raiden Raiden Genshin - Chevreuse Chevreuse Genshin - Xiangling Xiangling Genshin - Bennett Bennett
Genshin - Yoimiya Yoimiya Genshin - Chevreuse Chevreuse Genshin - Fischl Fischl Genshin - Beidou Beidou
Genshin - Arlecchino Arlecchino Genshin - Chevreuse Chevreuse Genshin - Fischl Fischl Genshin - Beidou Beidou

A simple overload team with Chevreuse is the perfect loadout for this Local Legend. Chevreuse is the ultimate Overload buffer, so it is just necessary to have her in the best team against He Never Dies.

Use Any Pyro-Electro Combination

Note that the recommendations above are the best recommendations. If you don't have the exact team, choose another team that has pyro and electro characters that can reliably execute Overload reactions.

Overloaded Reaction Guide

Use Anemo Characters

Genshin Impact - He Never Dies Jean

Jean's skill can easily lift the boss up in the air which will deal significant fall damage. However this won't interrupt the boss's charge attack thus players should still do their best to dodge it.

Additionally, Venti, Wanderer and Kazuha's skill will allow you to fly during the charge attacks, making it easier to dodge.

Use Claymore Characters When He's Charging

As soon as the boss starts his charge attack, change to your claymore character, and immediately hit him with a charge attack. After a few seconds, the boss will be stunned which will stop his charge attack.

He Never Dies Respawn Time

Can Be Fought Anytime

Genshin Impact - Nightsoul Totems

He Never Dies is fought by accessing a Nightsoul Totem which means it does not exist in the overworld. Therefore, you can fight this Local Legend as many times as you can without waiting for server reset.

i really recommend use a claymore chara that spinning while charged attack (its 100% can stop capybara burst) and capybara cannot hit u while on air so bring ororon/citlali or chara that can fly.

The best way I've found to deal with the capybara is to solo it with Mavuika and Ororon, with maybe a healer. Mavuika's nightsoul burst triggers Ororon's nightshade synesthesia, allowing you to infinite it to death, while punting it around like a football with Mavuika's motorcycle. It also makes getting all of the achievements related to it easy.
