How Do Genshin Weekly Bosses Work? Resin and Rewards Explained

Genshin weekly bosses are the Trounce Domain fights in Genshin Impact that drop the rare talent materials needed to raise a character's Talents past level 6. Each boss gives its rewards once per week, and the first three claims across all bosses cost only half the usual Original Resin. Knowing which boss drops what, and which three to prioritize each week, saves a lot of Resin over a season.

This guide from gamemarket.gg lists every weekly boss with its region and talent materials, explains the Resin discount and weekly reset, and covers the extra rewards and tools that make farming them easier.

How Weekly Bosses Work

Weekly bosses sit in Trounce Domains and follow a few fixed rules:

• One reward claim per boss per week. You can fight a boss again after claiming, but it gives no further rewards that week.
• Resin discount. Your first three claims each week cost 30 Original Resin, and every claim after that costs 60. The discount is shared across all weekly bosses, not given per boss.
• Original Resin only. Condensed Resin cannot be used in Trounce Domains.
• Weekly reset. Rewards and the discount refresh every Monday at 04:00 server time.
• Co-op. Most weekly bosses can be fought in co-op, and each player spends their own Resin for their own rewards. Game8 lists Stormterror as the exception.

Each boss is unlocked through the story, usually by finishing the Archon Quest or quest where you first fight it. From Adventure Rank 40, the Adventurer Handbook also offers quick challenges for some domains you have not unlocked yet.

All Genshin Weekly Bosses and Their Talent Materials

Weekly bosses are added alongside new regions and story arcs. Each one drops three unique talent materials:

• The Game Before the Gate (Falcon Coast): Ascended Sample: Rook, Ascended Sample: Knight, Ascended Sample: Queen

Liyue

• Childe (Golden House): Tusk of Monoceros Caeli, Shard of a Foul Legacy, Shadow of the Warrior
• Azhdaha (Mt. Hulao): Dragon Lord's Crown, Bloodjade Branch, Gilded Scale

Inazuma

• La Signora (Inazuma City): Molten Moment, Hellfire Butterfly, Ashen Heart
• Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto (Grand Narukami Shrine): Mudra of the Malefic General, Tears of the Calamitous God, The Meaning of Aeons

Sumeru

• Everlasting Lord of Arcane Wisdom (Joururi Workshop): Mirror of Mushin, Daka's Bell, Puppet Strings
• Guardian of Apep's Oasis (Desert of Hadramaveth): Everamber, Primordial Greenbloom, Worldspan Fern
• Exalted Master of the Heretical Path (Chatrakam Cave): Counterfeit Resin, Twisted Withered Branch, Profaned Sprout

Natlan

Nod-Krai and Snezhnaya

• The Doctor (Nod-Krai, added in Version 6.3): Mask of the Virtuous Doctor, Madman's Restraint, Elixir of the Heretic
• Ronova, the Ruler of Death (added in Version 7.1)

The Doctor unlocks after the Archon Quest act "True Moon," and the full fight is covered in The Doctor weekly boss guide. Ronova is tied to Archon Quest Chapter VII Acts III and IV, and the Ronova weekly boss guide explains how to unlock her.

What Weekly Bosses Drop Besides Talent Materials

Talent materials are the reason to farm, but each claim also gives:

• Mora and Adventure EXP, plus Companionship EXP.
• Artifacts, with better quality at higher World Levels.
• Character ascension materials, depending on the boss.
• Dream Solvent, a chance-based drop used to convert materials.

Dream Solvent is what keeps weekly farming flexible. At the Crafting Bench, one Dream Solvent converts one talent material into another material from the same boss, so a duplicate Dvalin's Plume can become the Dvalin's Claw a character actually needs. Game8 also notes a one-time bonus: the first clear of most weekly bosses gives one of each of their unique materials, claimable from the Trounce Domain tab of the Adventurer Handbook.

How to Pick Your Three Discounted Bosses

With only three half-price claims each week, the order matters:

• Start with the boss your main DPS needs. Damage Talents usually give the biggest gain, so their materials come first.
• Follow your next banner. If a planned character uses a material you have none of, start collecting before they arrive, since level 10 Talents take several copies each.
• Rotate instead of repeating. Since each boss pays out once a week, spreading claims across the bosses your roster uses keeps every character moving.
• Save the fourth claim for urgent needs. At 60 Resin, a fourth boss costs as much as three Talent book runs, which is rarely worth it unless a character is one material short.

Resin is the real limit here, and how to spend Resin efficiently shows how weekly bosses fit next to Artifact domains and Ley Lines.

A Weekly Habit That Pays Off

Three weekly boss claims take a few minutes, but skipping them is one of the easiest ways to fall behind on Talents. Combined with small daily habits like the HoYoLAB daily check-in, they keep a roster growing steadily. Newer players can see where weekly bosses fit in overall progress through the Genshin Impact beginner's guide.

If you would rather skip the grind, you can browse Genshin Impact Accounts with Talents already leveled, hand weekly bosses and Resin to a verified player through Genshin Impact Hourly Services, or order fixed goals with Genshin Impact Boosting.
