All-Devouring Narwhal doesn't have a specific Elemental Weakness but has high resistance to Hydro and Electro, depending on which phase it is in.

We recommend using any DPS character that does not use the Hydro or Electro element as their main source of DMG.
Best Team for All-Devouring Narwhal
Recommended Party Against All-Devouring Narwhal
| Best Party for All-Devouring Narwhal | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Lyney | Zhongli | Xiangling | Bennett |
Use Characters that excel in ranged damage
We recommend using characters that can deal damage from a distance, as you would need to attract the All-Devouring Narwal's aggression while it dives to progress further the fight.
Lyney is recommended as he can effectively deal decent Pyro damage and do Pneuma and Ousia attacks. Shield units like Zhongli are also very valuable in this fight, ensuring survivability.
Bring Pneuma and Ousia Characters
Before fighting the All-Devouring Narwhal, it is essential to bring a Pneuma or Ousia-aligned character as its effects can help make the boss fight a lot easier.
Pneuma Characters
| Pneuma Characters | ||
|---|---|---|
| Lyney | Charlotte | Traveler (Hydro) |
| Freminet | Furina | Neuvillette |
Ousia Characters
| Ousia Characters | ||
|---|---|---|
| Lynette | Navia | Wriothesley |
| Sigewinne | Furina | Clorinde |
Note: Furina is the only character so far who can use both Arkhe.

How to Beat All-Devouring Narwhal
Wait Until the Narwhal Rises
At the beginning of the boss fight, the Narwhal will remain underwater and will show up in a few seconds. Only use your strongest attacks when it resurfaces to deal as much DMG as possible without wasting your energy.
Use Pneuma or Ousia Attacks to Destroy Eye of Maelstrom
When the Eye of Maelstrom shows up, use Pneuma or Ousia attacks on it to attract the Narwhal as soon as possible. The Narwhal will devour your character and have them fight against the Dark Shadow.
Use Pneuma or Ousia Attacks to Interrupt the Dark Shadow
The Dark Shadow can summon smaller creatures that can attack your characters in different directions. You can prevent this by using Pneuma or Ousia attacks when a prompt shows up to immobilize the Dark Shadow.
After defeating the Dark Shadow, the Narwhal will fall into an immobilized state and will take increased DMG from attacks.
