Tsurumi Island is full of adventures and new enemies: Rifthounds. These fierce wolves were created by an alchemist named Gold. It is believed that they also once roamed Monstadt. However, they can be found only in Tsurumi Islands at this time after players have cleared the mist with the prequest A Particularly Special Author.
There are four kinds of Rifthounds with the same Ascension materials: Concealed Claw and Concealed Unguis.
- Rockfond Rifthound, (Geo).
- Rockfond Rifthound Whelping (Geo).
- Thundercraven Rifthound, (Electro).
- Thundercraven Rifthound Whelping (Electro).
Rifthound Battle Mechanics
Rifthounds are a tough opponent. Corrosion is a condition that causes a team to lose its HP over time. This status effect does not apply to shields so bring a healer and a DPS.
Rage can be accumulated by being struck with the exact same element. It is best to avoid using Geo against the Rockfond Rifthounds or Electro against the Thundercraven Rifthounds. Rifthounds, just like the Fatui Agent can also become invisible in battle so be aware of where they might strike!
Around Tsurumi island, there are 16 Wolves of the Rift. These are Rifthounds’ equivalent Elite Monsters. You’ll also find a lot of non-Elite Rifthounds as you go around the map.
