Varka, the Grandmaster of Favonius and his signature weapon Gest of the Mighty Wolf, is finally live along with the version Luna V. In this version, players who are pulling for Varka are in for a treat, as they have an opportunity to get an exclusive Genshin Impact Varka's weapon skin, and it can only be unlocked if you have the Grandmaster in your playable roster.

Keep reading, as this Genshin Impact piece will provide the details needed to unlock the exclusive Varka weapon skin.

How to unlock Genshin Impact Varka's Weapon Skin in Luna-V

Varka's exclusive weapon skin can be unlocked only when you have successfully completed the Nameless Bloodstained Monument world quest, which will need to be unlocked. For that, you would need to challenge “The Homesick Lone Wolf,” a local legend of the Nod-Krai region. Once you have successfully defeated the enemy, try to interact with the Great Sword located there with Varka. Once you interact you will get an option to face and defeat a mysterious enemy.

After accepting the offer you will be transported to a special domain, where you can only use Varka, and no food buffs, or gadgets will work. So before facing this mighty challenge we would recommend leveling up Varka and his weapon.

Varka's limited weapon-skin challenge in Genshin Impact

In this Varka exclusive challenge, you will be facing Boreas's Shadow which has an identical movement from the Mondstadt weekly boss, Andrius. This Boss fight has Four Phase, with each having its own buffs and debuffs.

First Phase

In this phase, you will be restricted from using Varka's special Elemental Skill and Charged Attacks. So better stay on your feet to dodge those incoming ATKs.The boss's HP is considerably lower compared to most boss fights, so it should be easy if you can time and dodge those incoming ATKs.

Second Phase

After the enemy's HP has been taken down to 50%, it will enter a phase were he will start circling you, and charge you like the Mondstadt boss. Better keep an eye on it while he is circling to dodge those heavy charges.

Third Phase

After exiting the Interlude Phase, the boss will summon an Ice platform and will gain a Cryo Shield, following up with a special attack. The whole battleground will be covered by Cryo attacks, and standing idle on the floor will deal further Cryo DMG.

On the battlefield, few Cryo platforms will be created which will hover in the air and will have a Pyro Orb on them. To collect those Orbs, use Varka's hold skill to jump over those platforms and collect them. Once they are collected, they will replenish Varka's health and you will gain access to Pyro infusion, which will give you an upper hand against that Cryo Shield. And the Pyro Orbs will keep regenerating at specific intervals on the field.

Fourth Phase

In this phase, the boss will hide after the shield Cryo Shield has been taken down, and will spawn the"Homesick Lone Wolf" with much lower HP.

And just like the Local Legend challenge it will spawn a Cryo version of itself, which can be defeated only via Pyro/Electro Swirl reactions, so don't stop collecting those Pyro Orbs. After winning the challenge, Boreas's Shadow will show itself as the final challenge; defeat him with those Pyro Swirl reactions. Finally, after securing a win against Boreas's Shadow a small dialogue will trigger, along with a surprise appearance from the Bloodstained Knight, Roland, and some members from the Knights of Favonius.

After finishing the challenges you will secure the following reward:
