The Temple of the Wolf in Genshin Impact

Inside the temple, you’ll encounter various obstacles and enemies:

Hilichurl Encounter: Descend the stairs to find hilichurls in shallow water. Use Kaeya’s Elemental Skill, Frostgnaw, to freeze them, taking advantage of the Hydro-Cryo interaction.
Flamethrower Traps: Proceed to areas with active flamethrower devices. Utilize Kaeya’s Frostgnaw to disable these traps temporarily, allowing safe passage.
Wind Currents: Activate mechanisms to generate wind currents. Use these to glide across gaps and reach elevated platforms.
Pyro Slimes Encounter: In rooms with Pyro Slimes, look for Hydro Amber objects. Destroying these will cause rain, applying the Wet status to enemies. Follow up with Kaeya’s Cryo attacks to freeze them, making combat more manageable.
Underwater Spikes: Certain pathways are obstructed by water-covered spikes. Use Kaeya’s Frostgnaw to freeze the water, creating an ice bridge to cross safely.

4. Destroy Stormterror’s Crystal

At the temple’s end, you’ll find a crystal emanating Stormterror’s energy. Attack and destroy it to disrupt the elemental flow, completing the primary objective.

Rewards

Upon completing “Crash Course,” you’ll receive:

Adventure EXP: 275
Mora: 3,000
Primogems: 20
Character EXP: 1,550
Enhancement Ore: 3
New Character: Kaeya (Cryo, Sword)

These rewards will enhance your team’s capabilities and aid in future adventures.

Tips

Leverage Elemental Reactions: Utilize Kaeya’s Cryo abilities in combination with Hydro elements to freeze enemies, gaining combat advantages.
Disable Traps: Use Cryo skills to neutralize environmental hazards like flamethrowers, ensuring safe exploration.
Thorough Exploration: Keep an eye out for chests containing valuable loot. Use Elemental Sight to spot hidden items and pathways.

With the Temple of the Wolf secured and Kaeya now part of your team, the Knights of Favonius move on to the next disturbance.

Lisa, the mysterious and powerful librarian, leads the investigation into the Temple of the Lion, where Electro energy runs wild. Prepare to harness new elemental mechanics and face shocking foes as you continue your mission.
