To reach the maximum character talent levels of Ayaka, Yelan, or Kazuha in Genshin Impact, you must unlock and defeat Azhdaha, the Sealed Lord of Vishaps. Azhdaha is a weekly boss in the Liyue Trounce domain known as Beneath the Dragon-Queller. Mastering this opponent will net you rare materials, such as Dragon Lord Crowns, Blood Jade Branches, and Golden Scales. Without it, specific characters like Yelan or Dori won’t be able to achieve maximum damage or combat utility with their elemental abilities. Therefore, understanding how to access Azhdaha’s lair is crucial if you plan to use those characters that need drops from this weekly boss.

Unlike Enter the Golden House with Childe or Narukami Island: Tenshukaku with La Signora, Trounce’s Domain with Azhdaha is not unlocked during the Traveler’s main Archon questline in Genshin Impact. Of course, your progress in Liyue’s story is required to access Beneath the Dragon-Queller. However, the mastery prerequisite is directly related to Zhongli’s story quest, “Ancient History Chapter”. This story quest is composed of “Act I: Sal Flore” and “Act II: No Mere Stone”. Understandably, it’s hard not to want to hang out with Rex Lapis’ charming human personality, but being forced to push yourself to complete a series of quests isn’t something everyone wants to do.
However, it is mandatory to complete the “Chapter of Ancient History” if you want to unlock Azhdaha in Genshin Impact to farm the boss character’s weekly talent materials. To start the Zhongli Story Quest, you must first have completed the Archon Quest “A New Star Approaches”. Next, open your Missions menu and select the “Story Missions” tab in the bottom left. Choose “Historia Antiqua Chapter” and guide Zhongli through its history, which should take around one hour and thirty minutes. Once completed, you can access and clear Azhdaha’s Weekly Trounce Mastery in Genshin Impact.
