TL;DR:
- The Great Snowboar King is found southeast of the Dragonspine Statue of the Seven.
- Melt and kill the three frozen boars in the arena to summon it.
- Use a Pyro character to unfreeze boars and reduce Sheer Cold.
- Bait its charge attack into a wall or Geo Construct to stun it.
- It drops 6 to 10 Chilled Meat and does not require Resin to fight.
- It respawns every 12 hours, so you can farm it once per day cycle.
The Great Snowboar King is a unique mini-boss hiding in Dragonspine, and it drops large amounts of meat instead of ascension materials. It looks intimidating, but once you know its pattern, the fight becomes simple. Here’s how to find it and beat it without much trouble.
Great Snowboar King Location In Genshin Impact
The Great Snowboar King’s arena sits on a flat ledge southeast of the Entombed City – Ancient Palace in Dragonspine. Teleport to the Dragonspine Statue of the Seven, then glide down toward the marked area. You’ll know you’re close once you spot several ice-encased boars scattered around the snow.
How To Summon The Great Snowboar King
The Great Snowboar King does not appear right away. You first need to melt the three frozen boars in the arena using a Pyro character, then defeat them. Once the last frozen boar falls, the Great Snowboar King wakes up and charges straight at your active character, so stay ready to dodge or block the hit.
Great Snowboar King Attacks And Moveset
Charge Attack
The boss scratches the ground before charging forward with its tusks. This attack deals heavy Physical damage, so either dodge sideways or bring a shielding character to soak the hit.
Summon Boars Attack
The Great Snowboar King occasionally summons four smaller boars that throw snowballs in the direction it’s facing. Getting hit blocks your screen with snow and slows your movement speed for a few seconds.
Rage State (Berserker Mode)
After being stunned three times by wall collisions, the boss enters a Rage State. Its fur darkens, its eyes glow red, and it gains a new jumping attack that deals AoE Physical damage on landing along with red Cryo zones on the ground. Standing in these zones slows you down and adds Cryo damage on top of everything else, so keep moving during this phase.
Best Strategy To Beat The Great Snowboar King
The wall-stun trick is the fastest way to control this fight. Position yourself so the Snowboar King charges into a wall or obstacle, which stuns it and opens a large damage window. If you have a Geo character, drop a Geo Construct like Zhongli’s Stone Stele in front of its spawn point right before killing the last frozen boar. This stuns it almost immediately after it wakes up. You can use this trick three times before the boss stops getting stunned by collisions.
Since the fight takes place in Dragonspine, Sheer Cold builds up throughout the battle. Eating a Goulash dish slows this buildup, and carrying a Warming Bottle helps reduce it further. A healer on your team is useful here since there aren’t many warming spots near the arena. A Pyro main DPS also helps since you’ll already need Pyro to unfreeze the boars at the start of the fight.
Great Snowboar King Rewards
Defeating the Great Snowboar King rewards 6 to 10 Chilled Meat, plus a few more from the frozen boars around the arena. Chilled Meat converts into regular Raw Meat at any cooking pot, making this boss one of the best sources of meat in the game. Unlike most world bosses, you don’t need to spend Original Resin to fight it, so you can challenge it as many times as you want once it respawns.
