The new world boss fromGenshin Impact5.3 has been leaked and, in contrast to many other opponents of the same category, they seem quite ordinary. However,that may be exactly what hides their true potential as a challenging boss in HoYoverse’s action RPG. The beta tests for Version 5.3 have started following the arrival of Version 5.2 and, with them, several leaks about the upcoming content are starting to emerge. The leaks mainly focus on the four new rumoredplayable characters inGenshin Impact5.3, including Mavuika and the Pyro Traveler, but there are leaks about other pieces of content.
There are leaks about the events that will take place during the update, such as the annual Lantern Rite Festival in Liyue – which should even introduce one of the leaked new characters from the patch. Other leaked content includes story missions and quality-of-life updates. There has even been a leak about a potentialupdate to Artifacts inGenshin Impact5.3, which may help players while they farm.Some other rumors are starting to detail the new bosses that players will face and the leaked footage about the new world boss shows that they may be a menacing opponent.
Leaked World Boss From Genshin Impact 5.3 Seems Ordinary
This May Be The First Human World Boss In The Game
The new world boss for Version 5.3 has allegedly leaked. According to their entry onHoney Hunter World,the new world boss’ name is Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker. This world boss is rumored to be a priestess of the Masters of the Night-Wind, and she may very well be the first human world boss in the game. Instead of being a large beast or creature from the Abyss, this leaked world boss stands out due to how ordinary it seems in comparison to the otherbosses inGenshin Impactthat share the category.
Genshin Impact 5.3’s Leaked Events Show The Next Update Will Be Massive
New leaks about Genshin Impact 5.3 include details about the upcoming events and what looks like the Lantern Rite, which should make for a huge patch.
While the entry on Honey Hunter World provides more details about the boss, footage obtained by the leaker known as Kazusa shows the Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker in action. The video, which was shared in a post onReddit, confirms thatthe world boss is a human that looks much like a variation of Sauroform Tribal Warriors from Natlan. The boss floats and carries a staff that she spins around without actually touching.
As is seen in the video, the leaked Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker boss inGenshin Impact5.3 uses Cryo abilities in combat.
Genshin Impact 5.3’s Leaked Boss May Have Strong Abilities
The Leaked Footage Shows A Powerful Knockback Skill
Despite how ordinary the character may seem in contrast to other world bosses, her design may be concealing immense power.As seen in the leaked footage, Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker has some pretty wide-ranged and powerful attacks. The first attack she uses in the leaked video shows them knocking Lanyan back quite a bit, exemplifying how strong they may be. Some of the boss’ other leaked attacks show Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker has a few quick charging attacks that can catch players off-guard, though it is uncertain how strongly they hit inGenshin Impact.
One Of Genshin Impact’s Most Beloved Characters May Get A Fine Treatment In A Future Update
The Pyro character Hu Tao may make an exceptional comeback in a future Genshin Impact update with a new Story Quest and even a new skin to equip.
The final ability seen in the video shows the leaked Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker world boss creating some instances of AoE Cryo on the field. The character’s grounded human design may be taking a lesson from games in theSoulsseries, for example, wheresmaller and humanoid bosses tend to be more challenging than the larger and visually menacing bosses. Despite this, Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker should not be too tough of an enemy to deal with because they are a world boss and they need to be farmed repeatedly forAscension materials inGenshin Impact.
New World Boss’ Material In Genshin Impact 5.3 Has Also Leaked
The Item Is Allegedly Used In Citlali’s Ascension
The material they drop has also been listed byHoney Hunter World. According to the database of leaks, Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker drops an item called Talisman of the Enigmatic Land, which looks somewhat like a dreamcatcher. With no coincidence whatsoever, this is the Ascension material rumored to be used byCitlali inGenshin Impact– this makes sense from a lore-related point of view, too, sinceCitlali is also from the Masters of the Night-Wind tribe like the leaked Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker world bossfrom Version 5.3.
Genshin Impact 5.4 Leaks Show The Game’s Most Underrated Region Is Getting A New Character
There are leaks about a new character in Genshin Impact 5.4 and their Nation could mean a return to one of the game’s most underrated regions.
Despite the rumored arrival of four new playable units in Version 5.3,only Citlali should use this material for now. Some future Natlan character releases will likely also require farming from the Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker boss, but that should occur in future updates only. Despite how credible and reliable these leaks seem, they should still be taken with a grain of salt as HoYoverse can change details about them before the final release. Luckily, players shouldn’t have to wait too long, asGenshin Impact5.3 is expected to arrive on August 11, 2025.
