Imaginarium Theater [August 2026] Walkthrough & Guide A thread! 🧵

Act 1 By choosing Electro-Charged buff and spamming the reaction like this, you should clear the level just fine This Ruin Machine stage is a bit easier than the Fatui Machine + Wilderness Exiles stage, as it's a bit difficult to group and defeat all the Wilderness Exiles
- #3
Act 2 You can spam Electro-Charged through this stage too! But remember to either bring a Cryo for the Electro Fatui, or defeat him before he gains the shield like this If you choose the Hydro Phantasm stage, a good Electro/ Cryo DPS is recommended
- #4
Act 3: Ducky Spam Electro-Charged/ Lunar-Charged to destroy the summons You can spam Electro-Charged again like this with Ororon to clear this stage With Yelan/ Xingqiu and another Electro DPS, this should be trivial- you may do this to save Flins for upcoming Acts
- #5
Act 4 I'd recommend the Ruin Machine stage: It is easier to protect the Monolith by attacking the cores of the machines to paralyze them But here's how you do the Pyro Blob stage: Focus on the slimes while drawing the Pyro Blob's attention Mona is very good here to taunt and stun
- #6
Act 5 Avoid the Elite stage unless you're very strong If you have good Electro/ Cryo DPS or Arlecchino, you can choose this Oceanid summons stage Otherwise head for the Ronin stage, it should be similar to this stage except you can use your Hydro DPS there! AoE DPS is recommended
- #7
Act 6: Hiljetta To prevent the boss from using the Ultimate Attack, spam Frozen on the boss (this deals dmg to the boss), or trigger Overload on the armors to break them Don't stand in front of the boss, her punch hurts With enough damage you can bruteforce without Frozen
- #8
Act 7 I'd recommend the Fontaine Machine stage, they're easier: just focus on the gunner when there are multiple enemies to group them! Otherwise, if you do this stage like me, make sure use Cryo and trigger Melt/ Superconduct/ Shatter to remove their high RES state
- #9
Arcana Challenge 1 Do this stage as fast as possible for the star, AoE damage works better A teamwide healer is recommended, otherwise you may die from HP drain Shield is not recommended: - Your shield get hit = generate shield for enemies - It does not work against HP drain
- #10
Arcana Challenge 2 Similar to Arcana Challenge 1: - Every enemy defeated will reduce the timer - Finish the stage as fast as possible for the star - AoE damage works better But it's easier because you don't need a healer and you can use shield!
- #11
Act 8 You can freeze and trigger another reaction like this (Melt/ Superconduct) to break the drones and paralyze the boss Skirk and Tighnari's Charged Attack can also break the drones (Sometimes the boss will increase RES, check Act 7 for the solution)
- #12
Act 9 I think the Electro Mage stage is easier, but both stage should be trivial if you have good Cryo application! Spam Cryo on the shields to break them (Electro is less effective for Hydro shield) Focus on the Bounty Target and ignore everything else Tighnari is also good here
- #13
Act 10 A pure DPS check, bring your strongest team here Make sure to pick all the buff you need At around 30% HP, the boss will summon 4 machines Look for the one with yellow circle and defeat it to paralyze the boss
- #14
Keep in mind that this is just a reference, which means that you should adjust the strategy accordingly based on your account! All 5 stars characters are C0R0 except Citlali and Arlecchino who are C0R1 The borrowed Neuvilette is C0R1 Thanks for watching! And good luck clearing!

Also why is the Trial Flins displayed as C1?!? He's clearly C0 smh Pardon me for the display error! :D
