How to Get Balachko Achievement in Genshin Impact

- Condition for 5 Source Stones: Defeat the local legend, Balachko.
- Condition for 10 Primogems: During a single mission, fail to hit any targets other than your original form while Balachko is using the Shadow Blade tactic.
- Condition for 20 Primogems: During a single mission, defeat 3 copies in a row before Balachko can use the Shadow Blade.
Where to find Balachko
Local legend Balachko is located in a cave near the dungeon "Sanctuary of Myriad Spirits", in the northwestern part of the Toyek Creek location. Move to the dungeon and go down to the Current Blades camp.
After dealing with the enemies, collect two "keys to something", they are needed for the closed grate on the southern wall of the cave. You will find the first key in the cage, and for the second you need to climb up the hill to remove it from the rope.
Approach the grate, use the items you received, and proceed to a small arena. Before starting the test, make sure your squad is set up and be ready to dodge right away.
How to beat Balachko
The role of local legend Balachko is played by Agent Fatui, known for his ability to go invisible and create shadow clones. To fight a Pyro enemy, it is recommended to put Hydro and Cryo representatives in the team, who are able to remove Pyro statuses from the enemy with high efficiency.
To complete the additional conditions of the achievement, change the squad according to the task:
- To get 10 Primogems, track down a hidden Fatui agent in the shadows and use Hydro attacks on him.
- The final stage condition can be fulfilled within 15 seconds of the first attack of the Shadow Blade. Wait for the enemy to reveal himself, and dispel three copies of him.

|---|---|---|---|---|

Furina |

Attacks and battle tips
The enemy has several different abilities from the usual Fatui agents, and the battle itself takes place in a small closed arena. Let's take a closer look at all the abilities and ways to defeat Balachko:
- At the start of the battle, the enemy will launch a powerful skill with multiple dashes, which will end with an air attack on the active character.
- For a significant portion of the battle, the enemy creates clones that perform coordinated attacks. The next shadow appears in the active character's place.
- Key skill to achieve "Shadow Blade" similar to ability
- The skill is most dangerous at the beginning of the battle. Be ready to dodge immediately after the enemy's health bar appears at the top of the screen.
- Dodge and use skills when possible while the agent is creating clones. Charge your ultimates for a powerful offensive after the Shadow Blade ability.
- After the first victory, focus on completing the task in the achievement. For the second reward, you need to destroy all copies of Balachko with water attacks, which repeat his movements and throw knives.
- To unlock the final stage of the achievement, first destroy the false copies and then the true Fatui.
There is also an alternative method: bring Balachko to the waterfall so that the waves kill him. To do this, put a reliable shielder in the squad, maybe even several, and first kill the mobs from the camp nearby. Aggress Balachko and slowly, so that he does not lose interest, bring him to the waterfall. Climb up yourself, between the ledge and the mechanism. Balachko should be below, right under the falling water. The enemy will not die immediately, since he constantly changes his positions, and if this does not work, then try to find a more advantageous place near the waterfall.
How long does it take for Balachko to recover?
The restoration of the local legend Balachko is happening along with the server update. This means that you can fight him again on next real day.
