Barbeloth is one of the most mysterious members of Teyvat’s Hexenzirkel-a mage known for her refined intellect, sharp wit, and ties to Mona’s past. Though rarely mentioned, her influence stretches beyond mere friendship, weaving through the hidden networks of magic that shape the witches’ secret society in Genshin Impact.
Barbeloth is one of the mages, and she finally appeared in Genshin Impact 5.6, albeit not in her actual form. So, who is Barbeloth? Here is everything we know about Barbeloth in Genshin Impact right now.
Who is Barbeloth in Genshin Impact?
Barbeloth serves as a Hexenzirkel mage and Mona’s mentor in Genshin Impact, specializing in hydromancy and astrology. She first appeared in version 5.6’s Paralogism quest as a giant Dodoco alongside Alice, testing Albedo and the Traveler before granting materials to restore Mini Durin. Known as the Goddess of Prophecy in Simulanka, she shapes artificial realms and foresees fates on a grand scale, though she remains unplayable for now.
Barbeloth is one of the Hexenzirkel mages and practices Hydromancy and Astrology. Although little is known about her in the game, she has been mentioned multiple times and has finally made a cameo in the Archon Quest – Paralogism.
Barbeloth is Mona Megistus’teacher, and she is the person who tasked Mona to Mondstadt to retrieve her diary from Klee, containing a significant portion of her youth. Barbeloth is also a known friend of Alice, another Hexenzirkel mage and the mother of Klee.

During the Paralogism Archon quest in Genshin Impact 5.6, both Alice and Barbeloth appear in the game, albeit transformed into a giant Dodoco. They make Albedo and the Traveler go through a trial before giving them the material required for the transformation of Mini Durin into a human.
Will Barbeloth Be Playable in Genshin Impact?
Barbeloth remains unplayable as of version 5.3, serving as an NPC tied to the Hexenzirkel storyline. Leaks point to her potential debut in Natlan’s later phases or Snezhnaya arc, possibly as a 5-star Cryo catalyst user channeling ancient magic. Official confirmation awaits future livestreams, keeping players watchful for her banner.
Currently, there are no leaks or official information about a playable model of Barbeloth in Genshin Impact. However, Barbeloth and Alice are too well-developed characters not to be included in plans for an upcoming release. It is likely thatBarbeloth will eventually become a playable character in Genshin Impact, but that’s only a speculation.
As they are talked about heavily in Genshin Impact 5.6, it can be foreshadowing for another future appearance. The most likely place for the appearance of Hexenzirkel mages would be Nod-Krai, the next region in Genshin Impact after Natlan.
Nod-Krai is known to have multiple factions from all over Teyvat, so it won’t be a far fetch to hope Hexenzirkel mages appear there as well. Now, if Barbeloth does become playable, it is likely that she will be a Hydro character, which aligns with her study of Hydromancy.
