The Lord of Arcane Wisdom is a weekly boss in Genshin Impact, introduced during the Sumeru Archon storyline. This entity is the transformed form of Scaramouche, formerly known as the Sixth Fatui Harbinger, who becomes the massive Shouki no Kami, the Prodigal after fusing with divine technology.

• An important boss for Yaoyao talents upgrade materials.
• Boss has two phases.
• Has a high resistance against electro damage.
• Weak against all other elements.
• The companion will shoot continously at the boss, first depleting his shield and then his health.
• Each time you his the boss with an aimed attack, the boss loses 20% health.

The fight takes place in a virtual plane created by the Akasha System and is divided into two main phases. In Phase 1, the boss floats in the center of the arena and unleashes wide-ranging Electro-based mechanical attacks, such as energy pulses, sweeping beams, and elemental strikes. Players must rely on the Neo Akasha Terminal, a unique battle mechanic that allows them to collect "Energy Blocks" and charge the terminal to unleash powerful coordinated counterattacks.

In Phase 2, the arena changes dramatically. The Lord of Arcane Wisdom becomes more aggressive and adds new moves to its arsenal, including large AoE slams and elemental barrages. Players continue using the Akasha Terminal while avoiding devastating combo attacks.

Combat requires precise movement and careful energy management. The fight emphasizes timing and adaptation rather than brute force. While Electro resistance is present, a well-rounded team with varied elements, strong shielding (e.g., Zhongli), and fast-charging abilities can perform well.

Defeating the boss rewards players with exclusive materials like Daka’s Bell, Mirror of Mushin, and Puppet Strings, used for ascending characters like Wanderer (Scaramouche) and others from Sumeru.

Narratively, this boss fight is a major turning point for Scaramouche, marking his downfall and transformation into a new identity. The Lord of Arcane Wisdom battle blends rich lore, dynamic mechanics, and cinematic spectacle into one of the most memorable encounters in the game.
