How to get the “Payback Time” achievement in Genshin Impact

The achievement called… This Time of Reckoning is part of Genshin Impact’s Challenger: Series VII and can be obtained by destroying the Shou no Kami’s shield while it unleashes a powerful barrage of attacks. This achievement is easier to do by accident, but if you want to complete the series as soon as possible, then I have broken down the easiest way to manipulate the situation to get it. It took me a few tries and some RNG, so don’t be alarmed if it takes you a while.

How to break the Shou no Kami’s shield while it unleashes a powerful barrage of attacks in Genshin Impact

To start this achievement, you need to visit the weekly Shoki no Kami boss at the Joruri Workshop, a domain located in Chinhat Gorge. The boss fight has two phases, in the first half you face Shouki no Kami’s upper body, and in the second half you face his entire body. Achievement … Payback can only be obtained in the second half of the battle .

Shou no Kami has various combinations of attacks. For this achievement, you need to wait for the exact moment when he is about to unleash a powerful barrage of attacks that looks exactly like the one in the picture above . While he is in this state, you need to break his shield by any means – be it with your character or Neo Akash’s terminal. This will earn you the Challenger Series VII achievement “…Payback Time”.

You need to accurately calculate your movements in order to break the shield at the right moment. To do this, we recommend entering the Zururi Workshop Version for level 60. . We also highly recommend bringing a Pyro and Hydrocharacter with you . At the beginning of the second half of the battle, an energy block will appear nearby. Pick it up to charge the Neo Akashic Terminal.

Next, the boss will summon the hats to the ground. Use the Pyro character to destroy the Hydro hats and the Hydro character to destroy the Pyro hats. You need to destroy at least two to get two energy blocks to fully charge the Neo Akashic Terminal. Use Neo Akash’s terminal to break half of Shou no Kami’s shield.

From this point on, a little RNG comes into play. There might be two or three more energy blocks that would appear before Shou-no-Kami unleashed his flurry of attacks. You should hope that three blocks of energy will appear to fully charge the Neo Akashic Terminal, and don’t forget to pick them up.

As long as your Neo Akasha Terminal is fully charged, you will be able to deplete the boss’s remaining shield by using it. Otherwise, try again!
