How to Get the Battle Goat and Iron Claw Achievements in Genshin Impact

Where to find the War Goat and Iron Claw in Natlan

Local legend Iron Claw and War Goat are located in Atokpane, next to the dungeon Abandoned pier. If the dungeon is not open yet, use the teleportation point in the south of the peninsula or get there on foot. To the left of the entrance to the dungeon you will notice a Kakaua goat and a bird of currents, periodically exchanging blows - these are the enemies you need.

How to defeat War Goat and Iron Claw

The War Goat and Iron Claw are common animals with a set of unique attacks and a lot of health, and therefore do not have increased resistance to the elements. Fulfilling the conditions of the achievement does not require the use of certain elements or reactions, so for the battle it is best to take a strong squad that is comfortable to play.

To complete all three tasks and get the maximum reward, pay close attention to your opponents' attacks so that you can push them together to deal increased damage:

• The simplest achievement is given simply for defeating enemies. To get it, you do not need to observe positioning and try to push enemies. It is enough to take a strong squad with good elemental synergy, as well as a dense shield or heal.
• The second achievement has an increased difficulty level and requires attention and positioning. Catch the moment when the animals simultaneously start charging their enhanced attacks and try to get between them to cause a collision. This must be done twice per battle.
• The difficult trophy condition is met when enemies collide with each other during power attacks, killing each other. Catch the moment when both enemies are at low health and force them to collide.

Top Teams

Absolutely any squad with high survivability will do for the battle. This is enough to simply defeat the legend and get the first level of the achievement. As for the team, it is worth giving preference to shielders, since attacks of local legends can instantly remove a squad member from the battle, not giving the opportunity to heal. In addition, to complete more difficult conditions of the achievement, it is necessary to push enemies during a powerful attack, which puts the active character at risk.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Neuvillette	Furina	Fischl Yae Miko	Lan Yan	Nevillet is extremely convenient due to the long range of the charged attack, which will allow you to evenly reduce the health of two bosses at the same time. Electro sub-DD is needed for additional damage and activating the Judge's ive, and Zhongli or Lan Yan for the shield and cutting resistances.
Mavuika	Furina	Bennett	Citlali	A squad with Mavuika and Sitlali that has good defense, damage, and healing. Furina is the best option, and replacing her with another Hydro sub-DD is not recommended.
Harlequin	Kazuha	Ye Lan	Zhongli	An expensive team with Harlequin through Steam, with high damage and good protection in the form of Geo Archon shields. Ye Lan not only consistently applies Hydro status, but also deals excellent additional damage. Kazuha inflates the elements and gives out buffs.
Keia	Xiangling	Noelle	Barbara	A free-to-play squad that can trigger Melt and has good survivability thanks to Noelle's shield and Barbara's healing.

Attacks and battle tips

The Battle Goat and Iron Claw can be difficult to defeat due to the animals' high attack power and high health, so the following guidelines should be followed during the fight:

• At the start of the fight, put up shields and start rotating, applying statuses and causing elemental reactions. Mini-bosses will start the fight with normal attacks that do not do much damage.
• Try to knock down your opponents' health evenly so that by the end of the fight they have roughly the same amount of HP. This way you can catch the moment to end the fight with a clash of charged animal attacks.
• Ironclaw is a slow moving melee fighter who uses normal attacks. Periodically, he will spin around and shoot a small glowing sphere out of his beak at medium range. His normal attacks are easy to dodge and therefore pose little threat. Dash to the side when you see the animation for the attack.
• The bird can surprise you by spinning on its belly. At this point, the animal inflates itself and begins to spin, dealing several blows in a small area around it. As soon as you notice the Claw's shape change, dash to the side and wait for the attack to complete. If this blow hits the War Goat, it will deal significant damage.
• Iron Claw will occasionally sit on the ground and activate an impenetrable shield. At this point, hitting him is useless. The only way to deal damage is to charge him with the War Goat.
• One of his special attacks, the War Goat deals large impact damage with his front hooves in an area in front of him. The attack takes a long time to charge and has a highlighted radius in the form of a red circle. If you notice the attack is preparing, move out of the affected area and wait for it to finish.
• The goat's second special attack can cause massive damage, but it requires a very long preparation. The animal runs to the side and begins to charge the dash. At the same time, a red line appears in front of it. When it is filled, the goat will run forward, attacking everything in its path with its horns. During the preparation, this attack can be directed by moving around the arena.
• To defeat Iron Claw, you don't have to attack it, just direct the War Goat's charge at it. But in this case, the fight may drag on and, most likely, the second animal will remain alive.

How to make War Goat's charge collide with Ironclaw's shield

Special enhanced animal attacks are easy to recognize by their indicators:

• The characteristic feature of the Battle Goat's charge is a red line that appears on the ground and gradually fills up. The direction of this attack can be controlled by moving around the arena. Once the Iron Claw enters the area of ​​effect of the charge, the color of the line on the ground changes to yellow.
• While the shield is activated, Iron Claw sits on the ground with a yellow aura forming around him.

Wait for both animals to use their special move and direct the goat's dash towards the bird, standing in front of or behind it. Once the local legends collide, each of them will lose a large amount of health and be stunned for a while.

How long does it take to restore War Goat and Iron Claw?
