Floor 12 Chamber Information

Chamber 1 First Half

Wave 1

Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device x1

Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device possesses 4.5 million HP and 210% All Elemental RES. Engaging without a strategy will be extremely difficult; however, mastering its mechanics makes the encounter manageable.

Counter Strategies:

• Cryo Suppression: Apply rapid Cryo DMG (with attack intervals shorter than 1 second) to deplete its Energy Gauge (located near its HP bar). When the gauge is nearly depleted, its All Elemental RES drops to 0% and its Cryo RES becomes -40%.
• Nocturnal Soul Engagement: Have a character in your party enter and maintain the "Nocturnal Soul" state (gaining one stack takes approximately 15 seconds). This will induce the Automaton to enter its "Battle Engagement Stance". While its offensive capabilities are enhanced in this stance, its All Elemental RES is reduced to 50%.

Chamber 1 Second Half

Wave 1	Wave 2
Iktomisaurus x3	Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker x1

Wave 1: Iktomisaurus(Moderate HP | Summons wind currents when airborne | 50% Cryo RES | Normal RES to other elements)

Quick Elimination Tactics

• Prevent Airborne Phase: Engage with point-blank burst at start, If airborne: Shoot head with bow user to force landing.
• Optimal Elements: Pyro/Electro/Hydro/Dendro recommended, Cryo less effective due to 50% RES.
• Abyss 12-1 Triple Dragon Strategy
  • All three dragons spawn close initially. Move along left/right flanks of Iktomisaurus formation line, then clear with AoE skills.
  • No dedicated healer? Pre-shield or dodge charges

Wave 2: Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker starts battle by summoning 4 Cryo Phantoms and entering stealth

Phantom Break Tactics:

1. Mistmire Envoys (Citlali/Olorun):
   • Hold Charged Attack to target phantoms → freezes all for 15s (enables individual shattering)
2. Pyro AoE (Mavuika/Xiangling):
   • Rapidly destroy phantoms with Pyro area damage

Post-Break Vulnerability:

• True form revealed → stunned for 12s
• All Elemental RES -40% during stun (Prime damage window)

 

Chamber 2 First Half

Wave 1	Wave 2
Ruin Grader x1	Ruin Drake - Earthguard x1
Construction Specialist Mek - Pneuma x1

Break Tactics: Starting from the front, the autonomous mechanisms spawn in a clockwise triangle pattern:

Ruin Grader → Ruin Drake: Earthguard → Construction Specialist Mek: Pneuma.

If your core support’s buff is zone-based (e.g., Bennett), pull the enemies to the next spawn point before bursting—this lets you carry the buff into the next wave.

Chamber 2 Second Half

Wave 1	Wave 2
Eremite - Stone Enchanter x1	Biting-Cold Wayob Manifestation x1
Eroding Avatar of Lava x2

Wave 2: Biting-Cold Wayob Manifestation opens with a triple frost-breath volley; the final hit can one-shot most fragile DPS units. If you are not confident in dodging, kite around it until the triple blast ends before beginning your rotation. Mid-fight, the boss spits out three Pyro Fruit. Detonating them with Pyro DMG deals 5 % of its Max HP each—three fruits equal 840 000 damage.

Chamber 3 First Half

Wave 1	Wave 2
Rock-Cavernous Wayob Manifestation x1	Thundering Wayob Manifestation x1

Wave: Dual Wayob Manifestations

• Rock-Cavernous Wayob Manifestation (1.45M HP) + Thundering Wayob Manifestation (1.45M HP)
• Spawn widely separated at opposite flanks

Core Strategy:

• Sequential Shield Break Required: Focus one boss → Break its unique shield → Then engage the other
• Open with Bursts: Deploy key Ultimates immediately to avoid Trial Purge (empties Energy)

Shield Break Priority Guide:
※ Prioritize targets based on team composition:

Your Team Comp	First Target
Cryo/Dendro/Pyro DPS	Rock-Cavernous (Geo Armor)
Claymore User	Thundering (Elemental Shield)
Both options	Choice → Based on preference

Chamber 3 Second Half

Wave 1	Wave 2
Yumkasaurus x3	Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King x1

Wave 1: A group of three Yumkasaurus (520k HP each). Recommend using Elemental Skills and Normal Attacks to defeat them, saving your team's Elemental Bursts for the next wave.

Wave 2: Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King (5210k HP, 70% Dendro RES).

• Starts the fight by immediately performing three consecutive spews. Getting hit by all three can instantly down characters; dodge these attacks.
• Throughout the battle, timely apply Pyro to the Blazing Husks on the ground using Pyro DMG to detonate them. This causes explosions that deal significant additional DMG to the Sovereign.
