He Never Dies is a Natlan Local Legend encountered through a Nightsoul Trial east of the Ancestral Temple. Its defining move is an eight-second charge that you can interrupt by dealing enough poise damage; if you fail, be ready to evade three consecutive dashes.
Start the trial by interacting with its stone, then focus on interrupting the charge and avoiding its ultimate. The encounter also has achievements for defeating the boss, avoiding its ultimate, and interrupting the charge three times.
Where to Find and Start the He Never Dies Trial
Travel to the east side of the Ancestral Temple in Natlan and look for the Nightsoul Trial stone. The cited GameWith guide says no puzzle or other unlock is required: interact with the stone to begin the challenge.
How to Interrupt He Never Dies’ Charge
He Never Dies can attack with a head strike and a forward ram. Its signature move, “Ultimate Technique: Giant Undying Collision,” starts a charge that lasts eight seconds. During the charge, its resistance rises, but attacks add poise damage to an interruption tally.

| Charge detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Charge duration | 8 seconds |
| Resistance increase while charging | 300% |
| Poise-damage tally needed to interrupt | 2,500 |
| Blunt-attack contribution to the tally | 5× poise damage |
| Maximum tally contribution per hit | 800 |
| Dashes if the charge completes | Three |
When the charge begins, keep attacking with moves that deal strong poise damage. Blunt attacks contribute five times their poise damage to the tally, subject to the per-hit cap. Reaching the threshold interrupts the move, removes some of the boss’s HP, and briefly paralyzes it. These figures are encounter parameters reported by the Genshin Impact Wiki’s 2026 research snapshot, not results of independent testing.
Do not spend a powerful attack at random in hopes of catching the charge: its timing is not predictable. If you do not interrupt it, prioritize avoiding the three dashes and stay out of their path instead of chasing the boss.
Team and Combat Tips
- Bring characters whose attacks can build poise damage quickly, and use them when the charge starts.
- Keep attacking through the charge window rather than relying on one mistimed hit.
- Navia, Zhongli, Bennett, and Xiangling are one team suggested by the cited guide, not a required or universally best lineup.
- If the interruption fails, focus on evading the three consecutive dashes rather than attacking through their path.

These are achievement conditions and listed values; the available research does not establish a separate chest or material reward for them.
