Fight challenges might be one of the most fun in Genshin Impact. You will have to deal with tons of enemies at once and not only that, you will be on a timer and need to be as fast as possible. In today’s guide we will be taking a look at the Hidden Strife challenge, but with the Dire Straits mode on. Let’s see how you can finish it without an issue.

Hidden Strife Dire Straits Guide – Genshin Impact

Dire Straits is the hardest difficulty for the Hidden Strife Challenge. You will have the same enemies as before as well as the same buffs that you might gain from before. 

To complete the challenge you must do it:

  • In under or within 150 seconds
  • Use 6 Elemental Outbursts
  • Destroy 2 Powerful enemies

If you complete the challenge in Dire Straits, or any challenge in the hardest difficulty mode, you’ll unlock all the rewards that are under the other lower difficulty challenges. So if you’re feeling powerful and mighty you might just go for this one and get all the rewards if you finish this.

It will be located here:

It is a fighting challenge that is located on the far east coast, or on the Falcon Coast. To start it simply go to the floating sand ball that can be found on the shoreline.

A good team setup for finishing the challenge on the hardest difficulty is this:

  • Xiao
  • Kamisato Ayaka
  • Zhongli
  • Raiden Shogun

The buffs that you’ll get for this challenge are these:

  • Elemental Burst Damage will be increased by 50%
  • After using 6 Elemental Bursts you will obtain the Afterimaged Might
  • You will encounter many and more powerful enemies after you have gotten the Afterimaged Might

Fight Challenge

As many of the fights, you might expect from Genshin Impact. You will have these monsters to take care of:

  • Ruin Destroyer
  • Ruin Scout
  • Ruin Hunter
  • Ruin Cruiser

The biggest problem that you might be facing in this challenge is the timer. Those 150 seconds are very low and you’ll need to use little everything you’ve got on the harder enemies.

They will have tons of HP so focus all your powerful stuff on them. When they appear you will want to only focus on them and nothing else. You might need a couple of tries but you’ll get the hang of it after a while. Follow the team setup and you’ll be able to do the maximum amount of damage with them. Good luck!
