How to Defeat the Lava Dragon Statue Genshin Impact: Full Walkthrough
Toppling the dragon statue yields immediate, tangible account progression. When the construct crumbles into inert rock, the surrounding lava pools drain into subterranean trenches, unlocking a Precious Chest containing 10 Primogems, Natlan Pyro Sigils, and high-tier artifact fodder.
A hidden exploration achievement titled "Cold Feet in a Hot Place" unlocks if you successfully shatter the statue's Pyro shield without letting any party member take direct damage from the floor's boiling lava pools. Achieving this requires relying strictly on the Tepetlisaur for traversal during Phase 1, followed by standing solely on the cooled obsidian center stone during the final combat burn.
Search the rock walls behind the collapsed statue. With the lava drained, a hidden cave entrance opens beneath the primary dais, housing a Monolith challenge and an additional Exquisite Chest that factors heavily into your Natlan regional completion score.
