Local Legend

The Local Legends are special miniboss enemies encountered in Fontaine, Liyue, and Natlan. Most of them are enhanced versions of normal or elite enemies with greatly increased stats, using improved or new attacks not found from their normal variant. Rocky Avildsen and Liam are special enemies, while "He Never Dies" and Cocijo are variants of non-hostile Wildlife.

Some Local Legends require completion of specific World Quests before they will appear. Defeating these enemies grants significant amounts of Mora, experience, and if applicable, Character and Weapon Enhancement Materials over their normal variants.

Underwater Local Legends have mechanics that cause them to lose percentage-based HP and/or interrupt their attacks when hit by specific Xenochromatic Creature attacks. Local Legends found on the surface have no such mechanics.

A variant of Local Legend, known in-game as Veteran, can be found in various game modes, such as the Spiral Abyss, Imaginarium Theater and other special circumstances. Veterans tend to share the same attacks as Local Legends, though their stats are much lower than them due to the time-sensitive nature of the content they feature in.

Defeating each Local Legend for the first time grants an achievement. Within Natlan, these achievements are found under the Duelist: Series I category; others are found under Wonders of the World. Natlanese Local Legends each have two more achievements for fulfilling certain additional requirements.

Trivia[]

• The Fairy Knight Twins and the Swords of the Gorge all have "Life Evolved by the Fontemer" as their subtitles, which will become visible if only one member of a pair is aggravated. This is possible if the other member has not yet loaded.
• Variants of Local Legends called Veteran enemies may appear in the Spiral Abyss. These enemies have identical behavior to Local Legends but have lower base HP and ATK.
• The title "Giant Enemy Crab" is likely a reference to a line said at E3 2006 during the video game showcase of Genji: Days of the Blade that was turned into a meme.
• The Fatui Skirmishers' title "Polychrome Tri-Stars" is likely a reference to the Black Tri-Stars in the Mobile Suit Gundam series.
  • Their codenames, Vasily, Nomokonov and Sidorenko, reference various Soviet soldiers during World War II.
  • Similarly to the Fairy Knight Twins and the Swords of the Gorge, their subtitles are only seen after one of the three are left remaining, though the name is randomized with each spawn.
