How to defeat the Secret Source Automaton - Overseer Device boss in Genshin Impact

The new boss is a bit different than all of the other Natlan overworld enemies that you have faced so far. Unlike the other bosses, you will be at a bit disadvantage if you use characters from the region, especially on their Nightsoul State. The boss will start and counterattack if you use Natlanese characters, but there is a bypass to this.

Simply use a Cryo character to effectively take down the Overseer Device. Any on-field character who can apply this element will come in handy. Keep an eye out for when the boss starts using its Beam attack. Then, keep hitting it with Cryo to effectively stop him. Freeze (Cryo+Hydro) works exceptionally well, as you will be able to stun the device for a few seconds.
