The baptist is in ur walls

Fun fact: Thiss abyss was made by Dottore as a way to torture his patients. He also forced his patients to 36* w only starter characters causing most of them to die

As soon as I saw this floor 12 I immediately thought of Moga's pain

I literally had to use NO FORCE TO USE nahida and ayato with XIANGLING and benny in that last chamber, THE ELEMNTAL REQUIREMENTS WERE CRAZYYYYYY

You took dmg from burning on the enemy cause by Nahida, she's probably built with a lot of EM so that's why it's 2k per tick. If you didn't know, burning deals dmg in very small AOE to ALL nearby units, including both you and enemies.

The sigh for transition between floors 9-10 and 11-12 was felt on a deeply personal level, Moga 😂

This by far is the hardest abyss ever.

For the Baptist’s I find that if you can’t damage down his weaken phase in a single rotation it take wayyy longer because you have to destroy all the elemental shields again

11:09 "Nahida is going HAM!" Thunderbird: "Hamboorgor"

12:51 “ohh there are 4 ?? ohhh there are 4!” 😭 that part has me dying

🌸😹It would be of such ghastly affair the current Abyss, that but to merely utter its existence would send shivers down the spine and bring even governments to their knees.😹🌸

Moga thanks for keeping up the content... Your videos really helped me get over depression last year and this year as well. Thank you and love from India.

for anyone struggling, I recommend a freeze team in the first half, and a burgeon team in the second half (in my tests, hyperbloom team worked fine in second half as well). yes, there's a boss in the second chamber but freeze team deals incredibly well with all the mobs in the first chamber and the consecrated beasts in the third chamber.

I swear, this heralds in 12-1-2 were my 13th reason why. I breezed through the rest of it (Baptist with a fun team with Yoimiya, Nahida, Yelan and Zhongli). Only those heralds were the biggest pain for me, needed like 50 trys.

this was by far the hardest abyss, here is what ive used personally: first half: Yae, Raiden, Kokomi, Kazuha second half: Hu tao, Xingqiu, Nahida, Zhongli.

this abyss was the first abyss i could actually do floor 11 ! i died immediately on floor 12 tho.

burgeon actually works really well for the second half (i used nahida, xingqiu, benny and thoma), it can deal with the heralds shields and the baptist. It’s also surprisingly amazing for the thunder manifestation. my c6 thoma really came in clutch lol

Okay, i just wanna say it. Thank you moga for the content u are doing i love that i found ur channel coz its different. Only videos i see when i search "genshin impact" or "honkai star rail" are "why you should pull for this" "why u should skip that" or pulls vidoes. I much rather watch u doing something entertaining in game, even if it is ur daily/weekly routine. much love and keep up the good work. ❤

I found that Yoimiya Burgeon works well on the second half! I used Keqing first half

I wouldn't have made it out of the Abyss without Baizhu for healing and reactions.

We were complaining months ago about how hard that one abyss was, but this. This, is worse

Nahida national with Bennett, Xingqiu and Xiangling is the team I used for 2nd half, it was really fast and way easier. You just have to be decent at dodging and it shreds everything.

I finished it with 9 stars. it was hard af, but this is what I used. phase 1: aggro Raiden shogun Phase 2: National Nahida.

i’ve been taking a break from genshin but you keep me updated while I’m out! thanks moga, happy pride!

5:44 Ah, yes, hydro is very useful against enemies with hydro shields

the concecrated beasts are probably the scariest part

If you stand close to an enemy that's burning, you take the burning damage too. That's what was killing your team in the end.

This is the definition of mom pick me up I’m scared

A hint for the second half of the abyss: Utilize a burgeon team (or Nahida national who one could partially consider as a burgeon team). Not only are the exploding cores powerful, but the elements are corresponding with the elements you need to break the elemental shields: Pyro for cryo (baptist + lectors + mage), Dendro for hydro (baptist + lector + mage), And hydro for pyro (baptist). Besides, the overload/quicken/spread damage would be nice against the Thunder Manifestation who is already affected by electro. Of course it does require niche units like Thoma to make a solid burgeon team. But if you have the required characters, it is recommended to try it out.

12th floor first half raiden national, second half i used a yomia/hu tao burgeon seemed to be AMAZING for me.

My teams for this abyss were First half: Ayato, Raiden, Kazuha, and Yaoyao Second half: Zhongli, Benny, Yoimiya and Yelan They actually work great, both teams deal insane damage

The reason why the burn was because if Nahida uses her E will on fire it creates burning that can do like 800 dmg per tic lol

I can feel moga’s pain. I have prepared myself for those beast not knowing chamber 1 is actually worst.

For a while in abyss I also had that feeling of... "Oh taking about 1 min too long, will need to change... W8W8W8W WHAAAA MORE MOBS ?"

insert punisher meme when the 2nd wave of consencrated beasts spawn "WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT"

The baptist was a piece of cake. It's those cryo heralds and beasts that were the biggest PITA. Xangling, whom I hardly use in abyss, was a musts second half.

The Baptist isn't the problem is those two beasts in the first half 💀💀

Floor 12 2nd half is the playground of childe grassional it shreds the baptist so fast and for the first half I just go freeze for the 4 consecrated animals

you were on fire from hugging a burning enemy, kinda insane actually

Moga for the dendro reactions dont use an element that can disrupt the reaction. (Example for hyper bloom if you bring a pyro character it will turn the dendro cores to burgeon instead of hyper bloom)

Even tho the bottom half of abyss 12 seems to really want you to play a burgeon team, I oddly had an easier time using a kazuha national team.

Good thing the enemies HP keeps increasing but the players damage ceiling is capped, wouldn't want anyone to get anxiety... But hey, who needs practicality when you can push an artificial difficulty narrative in spiral abyss to sell the current banner characters right?

12-1 second half is the challenge. You handle that, you can handle anything.

"maybe if i sigh really hard they would complete themselves" damn i wish i had that power

12-1 was so annoying for the first time in like a year i just left it at 35 stars, its also probably because ive been on a genshin burnout but damn those doritos and heralds are annoying

The moment I saw the abyss reset Moga came in mind

when an enemy is burning it will burn you too this scales up with the number of enemies and there is no dmg reduction for that soooo be carefull from staying to close to burning enemies

when I saw floor 12 I thought it was just gonna be chill since I whoop his ass in the actual game, no. no it wasn't. I thought "oh I get an R5 Deathmatch this month, maybe it will help me finally 36 star since last abyss I got 33!" again, no. he took me so long I didn't even get one fucking star. I barely got to 33 from the other parts.

omg thank you moga, i'm gonna try your 2nd half team comp of nahida national! keep up the fun content!!!!

*No anxiety in this abyss run*

For first half I used a Raiden/Baizhu team (Baizhu is C6 tho and built as dps) with Kazuha for cc and Sara for buffs which made the whole thing pretty easy. Second half I used a weird Hu Tao burning comp with Yelan, Nahida and Zhongli. None of this is very f2p/new player accessable though so yeah, I see why this Abyss is difficult for many players. I still thought the last one was way harder though? And I had access to the same strong characters back then but that took me so many more tries to 36 star

the part with those cryo lector was a pain in the ass for me, just spent like 2 hours breaking my head trying to make a team that could broke the cryo shield quick enough. The rest was pretty easy.

With the thunder manifestation when it does the attack when the two sides move inwards just run into the wall to dodge it’s damage :))

a weird alhaitham xiangling burgeon team did extremely well for me against electro chicken and evil ayato lector.

Burgeon was literally the only way I was to beat second half and it worked so smoothly

Even I don't play genshin anymore, I can see how much of a nightmare is this

I didn’t know the beasts could be frozen. I would try it

"you cannot live with your own failure, where did that bring you? Back to me"-Xiangling 2023

Ganyu was really good for me on abyss12 second, she can freeze 1st, dps 2nd and break shield for thrid. My team was bennette, nahida, kokomi, ganyu

For the baptist in the abyss if you have whale hu tao and get cryo shield first you can melt the shield then burst after applying hyrdo

In F12, I'll be trying Ayaka, Kazuha, Diona, Mona for the first half, and Yanfei, Yelan, Xinqui, Bennett for the 2nd half when I get home in 4days.

"i do mysterious things. very often" - moga 2k23 moga is calling it the insiquitous baptist most the time, which i'm not sure is even a word but it's fair bc iniquitous is not a word people use, normally... yep at the end there the baptist was on fire and it was damaging your character as well. i think i saw 2k per burning tick! nuts

This is going to be pure torture for f2ps especially how extremely difficult it is for chamber 12

I couldn’t beat the crocodile and the fanged beast in the previous abyss it’s so hard to catch them on mobile they keep zooming across my screen I couldn’t bother I gave up 😂.

For first half I used Raiden, Kazuha, Kuki, and Kirara (Noblesse set). For second half, I used Nahida driver, Xinqiu, Bennett, and Jean.

this abbyss was just pain tbh. my upgraded wanderer team (got rid of kokomi, went with noblesse jean for mono anemo and dmg boost) could deal with first half of all chambers. the hutao team struggled. my hutao is well build but the secind half of chamber one is a pain, also i didnt think about the thunder manifestation just running around. actually the pain were concecrated beasts, im missing er on my wanderer team fir my supports and thomas shoeld is not good enough tbh, i repeated so mant times i gave up on the baptist because hutak died and i didnt want to repeat the beast half anymore.

The funniest thing for me was clearing 12-2-2 with only C0 R5 Favonius Yelan, C0 R4 Wandering Evenstar Nahida and C0 R5 Favonius Zhongli. My C1R1 Homa Hu Tao was just along for the ride for chamber 12-3-2^^ 1st half was Rational comp with C0R1 Homa Raiden^^ and 12-3-3 was easy as hell once you get rid of the shields. 12-1 was the hardest, again, and I went back to getbmy 3rd star with Raiden-Nahida-Yelan-Venti 1st half and Ayato-Xiangling-Bennet-Kazuha 2nd half. It was def easier than th3 previous abyss... or the Wenut

1:10 even youtubers are forgetting about the original normal attack queen eula🙁

Aggravate top half, burgeon bottom half is pretty much the way to go. I even used Amber in my burgeon team like a madman

Burgeon team got me through the Second Halves of Floor 12, as in a team that somewhat goes Nahida/Dendro applicator, Yelan or Xingqiu/Hydro applicator, Thoma or Xiangling/Pyro applicator and Kokomi or Barbara/Hydro healer, but Kokomi is definetely best for a Burgeon team as you will take some hefty hits by Burgeon. I definetely recommend it but the team does need some investment if not a maximum of like 80 on all characters plus that the Pyro applicator needs FoPL for extra Burgeon DMG. You fill out all the holes with a Burgeon team: - If built correctly, you will destroy everything in your path ✔ - Pyro for Cryo shield on Chamber 3 ✔ - Dendro for Hydro shield on Chamber 3 ✔ - Hydro for Pyro shield on Chamber 3 ✔ You can also replace Hydro healer with Baizhu but he almost has to be Lv. 90 + good artifacts + 1-10/8-10/8-10 talents. If you have a godly Zhongli with 60k some HP, you can use him too. Definetely helps with constellations but not everyone is a whale so yeah. If you decide to go with Zhongli, you can either keep Thoma or replace Thoma with Xiangling, but Thoma's interval pauses are kinda better because you can get a load of Dendro cores and see the enemies' HP bars fall instead of having one Burgeon explode every 2s with Xianglings Elemental Burst. This is the time most people would like a Burgeon-focused unit. I hope HoYoVerse will do something like that, could be interesting.

Floor 12 2nd half is taylor made for a burgeon team aoe dmg, hydro, pyro and dendro it takes care of everything

As a newer player, I used First half: Raiden, Fischl, Barbara, Yaoyao Second half: Nahida, Kuki, Xingqiu, Thoma Most of them are low invested so only got 4 star out of 9... Hopefully when I get Kazuha next banner this would be easier for the first half

Fun video idea: try to do abyss with five stars you dont use often like cyno or alhaitem(idk if you use alhaithem😅)

No one: Moga: Where did Benny Go???😯(Benny died)

I struggled so much in 12-1😂 I first had 2stars, 3stars, 3stars so I was fighting for that one star at the beginning. The rest was fairly easy so I‘m glad this was 12-1 so I could try out different teams. My Wanderer seems to be my strongest main dps. It took me a minute and 10 sec for the first half and I cleared the second half with actually 30 second left with Hu Tao Xingqu Nahida Beizhu😂 I feel like this is the first abyss where template meta teams don‘t work

Tbh the baptist isn't the problem its those pesky hydro and dendro beasts in the first part of floor 12-3

Freeze is good for first half. Second half can have Ganyu instead of Nahida and Kazuha instead of Raiden and it also works. Tartaglia intergrassional also makes short work of the Iniquitous Baptist in the end. This abyss made people think on very exotic teams. I know it was a hard abyss, but it was an interesting one.

Imagine if the last enemy in floor 12 chamber 3 the first half is a normal boss then second half is a weekly boss

What happened that you were taking a lot of damage was that you triggered burning on yourself.

For f2p, you have to change the teams for each chamber. Going from Jade Plume to two beasts is not synergistic in the first half. It’s AOE into single target into AOE again.

It is very hard to clear the current Abyss with characters at level 70/80. Usually, I can do it, but not in the current Abyss

Oh man, can't wait until Genshin gets its own version of a Kallen boss fight *Immune to everything but physical*

Second half of chamber one was a pain... had to use a kirara national there and used ayaka freeze for the first half. It took 50 seconds in the first half, and I had 20 seconds extra w/ the kirara team.

I think this abyss is interesting, it forced me to break down old team and try different combinations.

one of the hardest in recent time. Got one shotted several times in 12-1-2. Here are my teams that I used to finally 36* it First half : Yae Beidou XQ Venti Second half : Childe XL Nahida Benny Beidou-XQ helps a lot on surviving against the beasts in 12-3-1 without a true shielder or healer. Altho you still have to dodge. Also, Kazuha or Sucrose should work well too

love to see even the whales are suffering this time

The most annoying part of this abyss IMO besides the consecrated beasts in 2 pairs, is that 12-1 first half there are 4 waves but they work in pairs regards to spawns. So if you dont kill all 3 whopperflowers at the same time, you will get 1-2 spawning at a odd place-time fucking up your rotation. Same for doritos. So bringing anyone with a good nuke burst is good to make sure you get all 3 enemies in one go so you can relocate to the next spawn location.

Here's the team that helped me 34 star this. I'm not going back there for the extra 2 stars. It was too frustrating. First half - Raiden + Kazuha + ZL + Yelan Second half - Nahida + XQ + Benny + XL

on floor 12 second half I used Nahida, Thoma, Kuki and Xingqui, it was a fun team to use :D you need to get the dendro cores and depending on what element you need you could use Thoma or Kuki to activate them

My teams were First half: Keqing, Baizhu, Raiden, Kazuha Second half: Tighnari, Bennett, Yelan, Xiangling It was actually pretty easy with these teams

THAT WAS THE SMOOTHEST SIGH MANKIND HAS EVER SEEN

so moga this is a good thing to learn do not stand on top of burning enemy's or else you will take the dmg as well and with a good nahida it can be 2000-4000 burning dmg per second

Honestly I found this one easier than the last rotation. I guess it depends on the teams you use.

That last chamber, I couldnt even complete the first half literally because they completely wipe my health out immediately. I dont even know what those things are, but there are 4 OF THEM?

There's a reason why I usually skipped flor 12.

c6 bennett xiangling jean and yelan/xingqiu really helped me to beat the baptist in time

finally... hoyo is making us work in the abyss

reminder that the enemy levels go up to 200, now imagine a lvl 200 baptist🥲

Lol moga reaction when double beasts spawned again is exactly mine too Me: that was easy. Me: *spawns* wait nvm then I used alhaitham Spread and Ayato Vape.

When you cause Burning on an enemy, you'll also take Burning damage if you're directly touching them. And it can seriously mess you up. Fun fact for all my fellow Beidou mains. If there's no grass around, you can touch a Burning enemy and counter that. It doesn't work for all enemies though since some of them have weird hit boxes.
