i’m curious why is this just solely attributed to just jean?
like sure jean is needed to break the fatui’s poise and prevent the shield phase. but that’s about it. i’m not seeing any fall damage here and the damage going on here are all collision damage due to the geo constructs, and only geo traveler and zhongli can make that possible.
Stetscopes2026-01-25 16:11
But it's because of Jean's skill that you even have a chance of doing this. She's the key to it. Remove Jean and the enemy is just sandwhiched and he breaks out of the hold.
everyIittlething2026-01-25 16:25
i mean, remove geo traveler and zhongli and you’re not gonna get a clear ¯\\\_(ツ)\_\/¯ all i’m saying is people reduce this tech to just jean when clearly it’s at least 3 characters are doing the work here
Bluecoregamming2026-01-25 16:43
Because Jean is always the constant. The last rotation only needed a pyro range partner. The rotation before that you could use Sigewinne bubble prison with Jean. Jean is eternity
z3phyn2026-01-25 17:23
last rotation didn't need jean at all, amber/zhongli/geomc could cheese perfectly fine
Bluecoregamming2026-01-25 17:30
So much for eternity...
TheChosenerPoke2026-01-26 01:25
Yeah but to be fair using zhongli and geo mc is actually completely terrible, including this rotation. The positioning is so insanely pixel perfect it’s basically up to luck whether it works or not (as long as you’re doing it properly), whereas last stygian with the bat, Jean Amber was so easy, it takes less than 10 attempts because there’s no complicated positioning or specific comboes, you literally just break the shield and slam the bat up and down with jean.
Plus last time, you had two opportunities during the fight to do the trick. In this boss, you need to nail it in 1 try or restart.
KiwikiL0L2026-01-25 16:29
jeans the one lifting the guy up into the air and dropping him
everyIittlething2026-01-25 16:43
she’s not lifting anything 😭 like there’s no fall damage going on here. she’s just there to stagger the enemy.
but you know what, i think your comment kinda answers my question lmao
Armalord12026-01-25 16:50
The boss is taking 2.3M from fall damage every proc, which is due to Jean
Beta3822026-01-25 17:35
No, this trick is purely collision damage because the enemy is stuck between the geo constructs. There is no fall damage. Jean just has very high on-demand poise damage (biggest CA in the game) so you can stagger the Fatui and prevent him from shielding up. You could achieve the same result with a different character, it would just be harder or less consistent.
You can see how the enemy never goes airborne.
Armalord12026-01-25 17:58
Oh oops in that case, turns out I have absolutely no idea how it works. It's not a mechanic I really wanted to engage with. I wasn't even aware the game even had collision damage, lol. I assumed it was something like putting them perpetually into an air borne state causing it to constantly take fall damage or something
Beta3822026-01-25 18:08
Fall damage is the most common source of collision damage, to be sure. You don’t usually get situations where you’re stuck in terrain, or have sufficient horizontal velocity. I do remember some event or mechanic where you could go fast enough horizontally to splat yourself on a wall, but I can’t remember the specifics.
Armalord12026-01-25 18:09
>Fall damage is the most common source of collision damage, to be sure.
Ahh okay
> I do remember some event or mechanic where you could go fast enough horizontally to splat yourself on a wall
This is hilarious to think about lmao
LeafWings232026-01-26 00:51
The geo constructs are definitely a big part of it, but ever since the beginning of the game, Jean has been the fall damage queen, so that's who people tend to associate fall damage with regardless of who else is involved.
gryphon_duke2026-01-26 10:41
true. i can make a team of dainslief nicole bennett (still top meta) and kaeya's horse and the enemy takes like 2 fall damage
"jean witnessed the battle she's still meta"
afflictushydrus2026-01-26 13:56
It's not solely attributed to Jean. The reason we say that it's "Jean" that is always meta is because Jean was the character that kick-started this entire archetype of using physics and fall/stuck damage to defeat bosses. It started with the Fatui ladies that only required Jean to break poise, lift up and slam down. Only in the recent 2 Stygian Onslaughts that the "physical" meta evolved to include stuck-ing with Geo MC and/or Zhongli.
Think of it as the "physical" meta just that we call it the Jean meta.
Bitter_Dingo5162026-01-25 14:10

MallowMiaou2026-01-25 14:28
Idk but looking at how the little spawns can easily take fall damage it kinda gives me hope about it
cl0tho2026-01-25 14:52
You only hit the small chickens if you don't have lunar reactions. You hit the big dog if you have them.
jinxedandcursed2026-01-26 05:35
The chickens are way too tanky and you have to complete the boss before it spawns them again if you take the full time to take them all down.
NoneBinaryPotato2026-01-26 14:54
the chickens are tanky and hard to group because they love to run away from you. I have a team that I know can do enough damage but keeps failing due to grouping.
pzlama3332026-01-25 14:59
Jean dash twice > wait a fraction of time then tap skill > CA > switch to MC then tap skill > switch back to Jean them do CA > Tighnari skill > Zhongli tap skill when the enemy get up > Jean hold skill > Zhongli burst > another Jean skill
Jean with sac, and everyone else with favonius, Zhongli 250% ER. No left right moving or change direction at all.
It is said that it is much easier to do so with female MC than male MC, because they use different hands to cast their skill, so the meteorite location has slightly difference.
FlameDragoon9332026-01-25 15:24
what's Tighnari skill for?
Squildo2026-01-25 15:26
For people playing with controllers/phones that can’t jump backwards with Jean without veering to the side
WriothesleyDumCump2026-01-25 15:52
Jeangian Flopslaught is on another level of minmaxing. I can't! 😭😭
jinxedandcursed2026-01-26 05:33
I wish people talked about the Tighnari trick last time on major threads lol
pzlama3332026-01-25 16:23
Tighnari' skills makes your character step back, just exact enough to set up Zhongli's pillar without moving.
leytachi2026-01-25 16:07
Thanks! This is the closest I’ve got (means no success yet). The fatui keeps getting out on the left side. 🫠
TheChosenerPoke2026-01-26 01:27
If this is happening, your 2nd Jean hE should be angled a a bit to the right (and up), but remember jean’s 2nd charged attack (while the guy is in the boulder) has innate RNG on whether it biases left or right, the more right, the more fall damage, the more left, the higher the chance he just comes out, so it’s not only down to proper execution, but luck as well.
izzetboilerworks2026-01-25 17:22
I've been trying to do this but one tap skill is not staggering him and I don't understand why? Is this specific rotation only doable on the controller (I'm on keyboard and mouse). I watched the video so many times and wait for the agent to be in the position in the video but that single tap skill just won't stagger him.
Squildo2026-01-25 17:37
It’s just a timing issue. If you play with English voicing, try tapping the skill around when you hear the ‘i’ in “authorized”
izzetboilerworks2026-01-25 17:56
this worked perfect now it's just a matter of getting everything else right ;-; i think the mouse is making my camera turn which is throwing everything else off so i'm gonna try with a controller. ty for your service o7
pzlama3332026-01-25 18:09
If you still want to use mouse, you can try set your "Horizontal Camera Sensitivity" to 1 and turn off "Combat Camera Setting" in Setting - Control
izzetboilerworks2026-01-25 19:36
This helped a lot too. Thanks
izzetboilerworks2026-01-25 19:36
Okay sorry to bother you again but I can't seem to trap him. I've got the setup right and get to the point where you Hold E on Jean's skill after Zhongli's pillar but he always winds up on top of MCs skill after.
Squildo2026-01-25 19:59
It’s hard to tell what exactly is going on due to the camera being in an unhelpful spot, but if he ends up on top of MC’s rock, it might be because you’re not aiming Jean’s skill high enough. Aiming for Trooper’s head with Jean E tends to knock him on his butt while pushing his torso area causes him to stagger backwards. If I could see, he might just be staggering up the rock
izzetboilerworks2026-01-25 20:09
Good advice i'll try and aim Jean's skill higher. If you don't mind helping if I still can't get it maybe I'll take a video.
BobTheGodx2026-01-26 05:40
Does Jean need to be level 90? When I try to Hold E with Jean after wedging him between Traveler and Zhongli's skills, he doesn't move or take any collision damage.
Zervent2026-01-27 12:45
Thank you for written guide. I am having a hard time with the Jean short hold E after Zhongli's pillar, I am not able to stagger him with that and he opens the shield. Any tips?
dcarbonator2026-01-31 22:31
Does the aiming of the hold skill matter and what is the purpose of it? Cant seem to get that bit down. I got him to fall dmg once then he ended up unstuck and to the side. Sometimes he just gets the barrier up before my zhongli petrifies him so Jeans hold skill didnt seem to do anything..
FlameDragoon9332026-01-25 15:23
I'm somewhat convinced that Hoyo gave us these on purpose to throw us a bone. At least one of the 3 bosses can be cheesed.
Curiousity10242026-01-25 15:45
I tried this but, the boss always cast his lightning shield first. So he can't be staggered. Am I doing it wrong?
Squildo2026-01-25 16:00
The window for staggering him takes some practice. Aim for a bit after the sparkles from his weapon disappear. If you’re playing with English voicelines, then try to tap Jean’s skill around the time you hear the ‘i’ sound in the word “authorized.”
Ok-Run-63162026-01-25 19:24
>hear the ‘i’ sound in the word “authorized.”
This is beyond insane levels of accuracy that people like you have found out and I am all for it. Longlive Jeanshin Impact players
TheChosenerPoke2026-01-26 01:28
It’s the least precise part of the tech too, after hours of attempts you just get used to the timing to the point staggering him is like, 9/10 times, and then the problem is just praying he gets stuck in the constructs properly.
Curiousity10242026-01-26 02:57
Alright, I'll try again today .
SAMMYYYTEEH2026-01-25 16:00
why do you need tighnari or ororon's E?
Squildo2026-01-25 16:06
Quick and mostly consistent ways of moving backwards. The distance is (for the most part) not too close that the pillar gets destroyed and not too far that the Trooper doesn’t get wedged properly
leolancer922026-01-25 16:07
To step back without using the Dpad. This is crucial for placing Zhongli's pillar at the exact location. Any closer and the pillar will despawn. The main damage source seem to be the collision between two geo constructs.
NotSynthx2026-01-25 16:05

Honest_Milk_82742026-01-26 02:20
Not only Jean, but GMC and Zhongli. Last round we had Amber meta. Amber was used so often she has the All-stars buff in NA.
I find it cool when old characters become usable again, specially when are characters most people have. We had some SO favor characters like Arlechinno and now Neuvellette, but not everyone has those.
nereoteg2026-01-25 18:32

J4Lee2026-01-25 19:04
i have no idea what im doing wrong the fatui always goes to the left
Squildo2026-01-25 19:11
Using Jean’s short hold E on the pillar is what gave me the most trouble by far. I don’t have any particular advice other than trial and error. Every other action can be recreated easily, but all I can recommend is aiming towards the center of the pillar and immediately using Zhongli burst
AlucardTeepes2026-01-26 19:18
same he always end up on the left, sometimes after take one tick of damage
Bisasoos062026-01-25 19:08

I'm thankful for these cheese strats as they allowed me to get a Fearless clear last patch and will net me a Dire clear this patch after I level up Columbina's talents, but if the next iteration also has a Jean cheese I might have to commit sudoku because HOLY SHIT THEY'RE SO ANNOYING TO GET IT RIGHT
Ke5_Jun2026-01-26 07:51
The Iktomisaur one was actually fairly consistent for me, though because I am on controller I had to turn my gyro sensitivity to max just to have enough speed to register the fall dmg.
It’s the only Jean cheese boss I managed to get multiple times; Jean/Amber/Zhongli.
cluelessa2026-01-25 19:32
do i need to jump after traveler's e (skill)? or was that an accident misclick?
Squildo2026-01-25 19:38
It’s not entirely necessary, GMC’s skill animation just feels awful and I didn’t want to risk it ruining my attempts
oikawasa2026-01-25 19:34
Does the pillar keep on breaking for anyone else 😭
cluelessa2026-01-25 19:46
me.
i think it's because we're too slow. pillar needs to go down while he is down.
edit: actually might be because i have a habit of holding zhong li e, but it should be just a tap
oikawasa2026-01-25 20:12
I switched from tighnari to ororon and it became much more consistent honestly. New problem occurred where the trooper just..slides out of the wedge (either on top or to the right)
TheChosenerPoke2026-01-26 01:39
With tighnari after swapping, you need to wait for a split second, then place the pillar, if you place it instantly, it breaks, if you wait, it never breaks.
With ororon, there’s less consistency because you have to walk a very, VERY, tiny step forward with ZL after swapping, and this can ruin your alignment, but it’s still doable. If the trooper is sliding out of the wedge, you didn’t walk forward so there’s space for the trooper to slide out.
Lycheelyly2026-01-26 03:40
I feel like it’s opposite for me. When I’m too slow, it breaks.
I will try again later
BWNSguy2026-01-25 20:44
So clip glitching bosses counts as a "meta"?
Richboyjoel2026-01-26 02:43
If the same character has been used to clear dire for three consecutive Stygians in a row then yes she is indeed meta
I_Have_All_OE2026-01-25 21:12
Everytime I Zhongli burst, it just kicks him out to the side. Sometimes, Jean does not attack straight/aligned despite me not moving erroneously. Sometimes, he moves left after pillar is placed. Sometimes the pillar breaks. Sometimes Tighnari doesn’t fucking move backwards in a straight line and goes diagonally. This clear method with Jean is cancerous. I tried 12+ hrs and still have nothing to show for it.
ItsJasminn2026-01-25 21:38
for me when i use zhonglis pilar it knocks the guy out to the left, 7 hours deep myself between yesterday and today
TheChosenerPoke2026-01-26 01:34
This is why it’s better to be complaining in a discord or something so you can have guidance. It’s actually fairly consistent when you know exactly what’s going wrong.
Did you know Zhongli’s ult has knockback if you’re close to the enemy? I didn’t. 30 mins of attempts until someone told me that, and then I knew to run back a decent distance before bursting, and his ult never knocked the boss out again.
If tighnari is moving in a different direction, you pressed a movement key, no matter how small, you absolutely input a movement. The only input during the whole combo should be running back with Zhongli to avoid the burst knockback.
The pillar breaking is due to not waiting, after tighnari swaps out, if you instantly zhongli E, there’s a chance the pillar breaks. If you wait for just a fraction of a second, it will never break.
I realize now these are good tips so i’ll copy paste it to the thread itself, but if anyone wants help trying to execute this, you can send me a video and I can tell you what you’re doing wrong. Obviously there’s RNG so even if you’re doing it a bit wrong, you can get it done, but with perfect execution it’s fairly consistent.
In my case, I had been doing it right for about an hour after 2 hours of attempts. The problem for me was I couldn’t get the last tick of damage. Turns out zhongli’s burst level matters for the petrification time, and after I levelled his burst from 5-9, I literally got it in 3 attempts, and just to see if I really could do it consistently, I did it 2 more times after that in about 10 minutes, so it’s really mostly (very precise) skill and execution.
I_Have_All_OE2026-01-26 02:21
Damn these are good tips. I’ll tinker with my wooting keyboard since it might be sensitive and I’ll apply those tips in practice. Thanks a bunch man

If you got two notifications from me, it's because the first one was too snarky. But:
>This is why it’s better to be complaining in a discord or something so you can have guidance
We really need to try to transfer information from discord onto platforms that can be searched on google because it's gatekeeping said information otherwise. I miss actual forums with tips compiled altogether.
TheChosenerPoke2026-01-26 06:10
Yeah but even with a complete compilation of tips, nothing beats having someone answer your concerns live
jinxedandcursed2026-01-26 06:13
We could have both for sure. I blame mainly the mods of those discords more than the participants for not keeping information universally accessible.
LarvenOizys2026-01-26 10:21
Whenever i put zhongli skill and switch to jean he can't be interrupted anymore. So i tried staggering him with zhongli charged attack followed by skill, but it is pushing him out of the setup. My ping is 190, is that the problem?
UglyB4stard2026-01-26 18:27
Me too, even after i turned off the combat camera settings, it's either the characters goes angle or this asshole comes out to the left.

Veldin4612026-01-25 23:24
Interesting.
Does this only work if you do Zhongli's burst?
Can't Traveler just drop 2 constructs to the same effect?
I don't have Zhongli, so I'm just asking to know if it's even worth to try this out.
Squildo2026-01-25 23:52
I couldn’t tell you. I could see it working in theory, but I’d imagine it being way too technical to be worth it. But maybe someone out there could make it look easy. Then again, keeping him stunned long enough to die probably requires the petrification
TheChosenerPoke2026-01-26 01:40
You need zhongli, I haven’t seen a single clear without him. The shocktrooper is too big to get stuck between two constructs like before, and if you don’t burst him he gets up immediately, so you really need it
Veldin4612026-01-26 01:47
I see. Thought that might the case, but couldn't hurt to ask anyway.
Flins does the job, but it would be funny to save a bunch of time with this, just for fun. Oh well...
radish_overlord2026-01-25 23:25

LeafWings232026-01-26 05:57
Do you happen to have any tips for not knocking the guy out of the geo constructs using Jean's E (right before Zhongli's burst)? I *think* that's what's happening with me, but I've been trying for a while now with no success so I'm starting to feel rather lost.
I have footage, but I don't think it works to send it over Reddit.
Any help is appreciated!
TheChosenerPoke2026-01-26 06:11
You need to aim up and to the right. If you want to send a youtube link to a few of your attempts i’d be happy to look at it
LeafWings232026-01-26 06:37
These are a couple runs I feel are representative.
I've never tried adding a video to youtube before, so hopefully it all went well. Sorry for the weird camera motion. I was playing with camera sensitivity settings right before these runs and was testing out how it felt.
Thanks so much. You are a lifesaver, honestly.
Edit: I do still need to level up Zhongli's burst. I think it's at 6 at the moment.

With ororon, there’s less consistency because you have to walk a very, VERY, tiny step forward with ZL after swapping, and this can ruin your alignment, but it’s still doable. If the trooper is sliding out of the wedge, you didn’t walk forward so there’s space for the trooper to slide out.
I will try again later
Did you know Zhongli’s ult has knockback if you’re close to the enemy? I didn’t. 30 mins of attempts until someone told me that, and then I knew to run back a decent distance before bursting, and his ult never knocked the boss out again.
If tighnari is moving in a different direction, you pressed a movement key, no matter how small, you absolutely input a movement. The only input during the whole combo should be running back with Zhongli to avoid the burst knockback.
The pillar breaking is due to not waiting, after tighnari swaps out, if you instantly zhongli E, there’s a chance the pillar breaks. If you wait for just a fraction of a second, it will never break.
I realize now these are good tips so i’ll copy paste it to the thread itself, but if anyone wants help trying to execute this, you can send me a video and I can tell you what you’re doing wrong. Obviously there’s RNG so even if you’re doing it a bit wrong, you can get it done, but with perfect execution it’s fairly consistent.
In my case, I had been doing it right for about an hour after 2 hours of attempts. The problem for me was I couldn’t get the last tick of damage. Turns out zhongli’s burst level matters for the petrification time, and after I levelled his burst from 5-9, I literally got it in 3 attempts, and just to see if I really could do it consistently, I did it 2 more times after that in about 10 minutes, so it’s really mostly (very precise) skill and execution.
>This is why it’s better to be complaining in a discord or something so you can have guidance
We really need to try to transfer information from discord onto platforms that can be searched on google because it's gatekeeping said information otherwise. I miss actual forums with tips compiled altogether.
Does this only work if you do Zhongli's burst?
Can't Traveler just drop 2 constructs to the same effect?
I don't have Zhongli, so I'm just asking to know if it's even worth to try this out.
Flins does the job, but it would be funny to save a bunch of time with this, just for fun. Oh well...

I have footage, but I don't think it works to send it over Reddit.
Any help is appreciated!

I've never tried adding a video to youtube before, so hopefully it all went well. Sorry for the weird camera motion. I was playing with camera sensitivity settings right before these runs and was testing out how it felt.
Thanks so much. You are a lifesaver, honestly.
Edit: I do still need to level up Zhongli's burst. I think it's at 6 at the moment.
