Earth Chimera – Full Hunting House Boss Walkthrough
The Earth Chimera has stormed the Hunting House, offering one of the toughest challenges for Tenno players today. Whether you prefer a solo showdown or a coordinated co‑op raid, this guide gives you everything you need to locate the boss, craft an optimal Earth‑focused build, survive its brutal attacks, and claim the premium loot that drops.
1. Quick Overview
- Boss Type: Hunting House – World Boss
- Element: Earth
- Location: Earth Village (inside the Hunting House)
- Release: Introduced in the latest content patch (see official announcement)
- Difficulty: High – recommended for players with solid protection and CP management skills
The Earth Chimera is billed as a “powerful new threat” that pushes Earth‑element mastery to its limits. Defeating it unlocks exclusive gear, premium currency, and cosmetics that are not available elsewhere.
2. Getting to Earth Village
- Open the Hunting House hub from the main menu.
- Select the Earth Village mission – it appears as a green‑earth icon on the map.
- Follow the glowing quest marker until you reach the arena entrance marked "Boss – Earth Chimera".
- Press Start to load the battle.
The boss is available on all platforms (iOS, Android, Steam), so you can jump in from any device.
3. Building the Perfect Earth Ninja
Core Stats & Gear
- Protection & HP – Prioritize gear that raises these stats; the Chimera’s heavy hits can shred low‑defence builds.
- Earth Affinity Gear – Back items, outfits, and accessories with Earth alignment boost both damage and defensive bonuses.
- CP‑Efficient Skills – Earth abilities often have higher CP costs; choose a mix of high‑impact attacks and low‑cost defensive moves.
Recommended Skills
| Skill | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| Earth Strike | Delivers solid damage that scales with Protection. |
| Stone Guard | Grants a temporary shield that absorbs a chunk of incoming damage. |
| Quake Pulse | Area‑of‑effect knock‑back that can interrupt the Chimera’s charge. |
| Grounded Resolve (Passive) | Increases HP regeneration while you stay on Earth terrain. |
Buffs & Consumables
- Protection Boost Potions – Stack with gear bonuses for maximum survivability.
- CP Regen Elixirs – Keep a steady flow of CP for those big Earth Strike bursts.
- Purify Scrolls – If the Chimera applies debuffs, a quick cleanse can keep you in the fight.
4. Party Composition (Co‑op Tips)
- Damage Lead: One player runs a high‑damage Earth build (focus on Earth Strike and Quake Pulse).
- Support Lead: A teammate equipped with healing, cleanse, and defensive buffs (e.g., Wind Guard for extra evasion).
- Synergy: Coordinate skill cooldowns so the damage lead can unleash a combo while the support maintains shields.
If you’re solo, double‑up on protective skills and keep your CP reserves high.
5. Battle Strategy – Phase by Phase
- Opening Phase – The Chimera starts with a slow, ground‑slam attack. Dodge to the side and open with Earth Strike to test its reaction.
- Mid‑Fight Phase – It begins a charge that can break shields. Activate Stone Guard just before impact to absorb the hit, then counter‑attack with Quake Pulse.
- Final Phase – The boss unleashes rapid earth spikes. Stay mobile, use Grounded Resolve to heal, and finish with a burst of Earth Strike when its cooldown is low.
Key tips:
- Keep Agility high to act more frequently on the skill bar.
- Refresh protective buffs every 20‑30 seconds – they stack, so layering is safe.
- Watch the boss’s visual cues; a glowing fissure signals an incoming heavy attack.
6. Rewards Checklist
| Reward Type | Typical Drop | How to Claim |
|---|---|---|
| Rare Gear | Earth‑themed weapons or armor | Open the loot window immediately after the kill. |
| Premium Currency | 10‑20 × Crystal Shards | Collected automatically; check your inventory. |
| Exclusive Cosmetic | Chimera‑styled mask or emote | Visit the Rewards tab in the Hunting House lobby. |
While the exact list is still under wraps, past Hunting House bosses have given items that are otherwise unobtainable, making the Earth Chimera a high‑value target for collectors.
