If you’ve made friends with the Water Droplets in Genshin Impact’s Veluriyam Mirage, you might feel worried when you meet the Hydro Phantasm of Fontaine. Just like the Hydro Eidolon, both of them are made of water.
But the Hydro Phantasm differs from the friendly Droplets – it’s mean and will try to hurt you. In Fontaine, there are special tough enemies called Hydro Phantasms.
They are important for upgrading weapons but not for leveling up characters. These enemies are considered very powerful. Two famous stories about defeating them can earn you special achievements.
This same idea applies when you explore underwater areas and defeat bosses like Fading Veteran and Sword of the Gorge – you also get achievements.
In the case of the Hydro Phantasms, the legends are called Vivianne of the Lake and Ninianne of the Lake. You can find these legendary enemies in specific places above the ground, and defeating them can earn you rewards.
How to Find Vivianne of the Lake in Genshin Impact?
You can find Vivianne of the Lake in Genshin Impact to the north of Court of Fontaine, near the edge of the area. Vivianne is a special Hydro Phantasm with a purple ritual circle around her. She looks like she has a strong, glowing presence.
Before you meet the local legend, it’s a good idea to gather a strong team. Bringing along a powerful character like Zhongli from Genshin Impact would be even better.
Don’t think this enemy, Vivianne of the Lake, is weak. She can attack very hard and defeat low-health characters in just two or fewer hits.
Vivianne is a Hydro Phantasm, which means she has water powers. Don’t use water attacks if you’re fighting her (Hydro). Instead, use fire (Pyro) or plant (Dendro) powers to make stronger attacks. Ice (Cryo) won’t work well because she can’t be frozen.
After you beat the boss in Genshin Impact and complete the Vivianne of the Lake challenge, you won’t find a chest like you would after defeating underwater bosses like Ocean Circuit Judge and Iron Viscount.

Where to Find Ninianne of the Lake in Genshin Impact?
In the game Genshin Impact, you can find Ninianne of the Lake. She’s located north of the Beryl Region, or Elynas, by the sandy shores. Like Vivianne, Ninianne has a purple ritual circle, giving off a strange aura.
Like Vivianne, Ninianne of the Lake is also very strong and has a lot of health. She can deal heavy damage, so players need to put together a good team before trying to fight her.
If you defeat this tough enemy in Genshin Impact, you’ll earn the Ninianne of the Lake achievement. But remember, there won’t be any treasure chest as a reward for winning this battle.
