Beware of Elite Treasure Hoarders

The Elite Treasure Hoarders are characterized by a Pyro-like symbol above their heads. The color is darker than the normal Pyro status effect.

These treasure hoarders have an increased DEF and some can even buff their allies!

Use the Quelling Firecrackers

Before and After Using Quelling Firecrackers

Always use the Quelling Firecrackers on the Elite Treasure Hoarders to dispel their buffs! These can be used on enemies for a total of five times and deal a lot of damage, making the challenge easier to beat.

Use the water in the area

The area around the challenges is close to water. You can lure enemies towards water then use Cryo for Freeze, Electro for Electro-Charged or Pyro for Vaporize reactions!

We recommend targeting Cryo Potioneers first so you don't get frozen yourself.

While the challenge above also has Water Rings that boost the Waverider's speed, there are more in this challenge. Make sure to use it to speed through the map. A good way to go faster is to use the waverider dash acceleration!

Support

Capitalize on the reactions that go well with the Pyro of the Quelling Firecrackers. You can Vaporize, Overloaded, and Melt the enemies to beat them fast. In addition to that, you can use Anemo to interrupt the lightweight enemies!
Return to Great Gathering Phase 3 Top ▲

How to Beat the Enemies in 90 seconds

You need to defeat all enemies within 1 minute and 30 seconds to get all rewards. To beat the enemies, gather them in a single area using an Anemo AoE attack, then inflict Hydro to create a Hydro-Swirl with it. Afterwards, use Cryo to freeze all enemies, so you can comfortably attack them all with ease!

Use Elements that go with Pyro

The Quelling Firecrackers can inflict Pyro when used on enemies. You can use this to create a Pyro-Swirl instead with Anemo then use Overloaded, Vaporize, or Melt!

Target the Ranged Enemies First

While inflicting a Swirl, specifically target the ranged enemies like Potioneers and Marksmen. These enemies will wear your characters down with Elemental Reactions, so you need beat them before the Elite Treasure Hoarders!

Elite Treasure Hoarder Attack Patterns

Elite Treasure Hoarders
Carmen	Wallenstein	Liuliu	Boss

The names above can be seen when you cast your Elemental Sight on the enemies! All of these enemies have their DEF increased, which makes them harder to beat without using the Quelling Firecrackers.

Elite Treasure Hoarder - Carmen

The Elite Treasure Hoarder - Carmen has an attack pattern similar to a Seaman and a Gravedigger! They will charge at you using their weapon if you're close. If you're a bit far away, they will blind you using the dirt they dug up.

Elite Treasure Hoarder - Wallenstein

Their attacks are similar to a Crusher, when you're near they will use their heavy hammer to hit your character. When you're further away, they will charge at you while continuously waving their hammer.

Elite Treasure Hoarder - Liuliu

Liuliu's attacks are quite similar to a Fatui Pyro-Slinger Bracer, they will move away from you and use a Pyro-like bullet to hit you once! They will also use a grenade-like item to hit you. They will eventually charge up their weapon and launch three consecutive bullet hits in a single direction, which is lethal if you don't move a way from it.

Elite Treasure Hoarder - Boss

The Boss uses an axe to hit the characters when they are close. They are also capable of buffing their allies if you don't defeat them fast enough!
