Overview
[MAJOR STORY SPOILERS AHEAD. DO NOT READ UNTIL YOU REACH THE BATTLE.]
The Anti-Creator, Hatred Inundate is an Echo of War Enemy that was introduced in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.7: As Tomorrow Became Yesterday. Lore-wise, it is the herald of Irontomb, an artificial Lord Ravager created by Lygus to turn Nous to the Path of Destruction so that THEY may destroy the galaxy, and possibly more. The Echo of War can be found in the Ruins of Time at Memortis Shore in Amphoreus, just above the waypoint to the One Tomb of Woeflame. This battle is difficult, but you get a few special actions that should help the battle go well, so with enough luck you should be good to go!
It is considered a Black Tide Enemy, although it has no weaker counterparts. Technically, given what it is, it's the boss form of Amphoreus itself, as well as all who dwell within, but that's besides the point.

Anti-Creator, Hatred Inundate:
The core of the ancient "Scepter", the materialized "hatred" of Amphoreus. It has recorded billions of souls' suffering, countless lambs' blood converging into an absolute darkness. The endless, infinite darkness flows out from a broken shell, driving forth the headless giant.
This shell, forged from an endless stream of "hatred", seems to contain a heart wrapped in chaotic flames deep within.
Irontomb, Anti-Nous, Funeral of Gnosis
Lord Ravager "Irontomb" of the Antimatter Legion, born from thirty-million Amphorean extrapolations, brings ignorance to wisdom, immortality to eternity, and makes the universe fall only to rise anew.
It is the ancient serpent, it is the messiah, it is the alpha, it is the omega, it is the executor of the old universe, it is the midwife of the new universe, it is a grand funeral - the funeral of the Erudition.
Imprisoned Mythos:
Epic chronicles, romantic legends, and the countless ages that gave them meaning. From these emerged all spiritual beliefs. It is no longer a prisoner, it shall die in the funeral of Gnosis, leaving behind an iron-cast tombstone.
Manipulated Logos:
The Shape of the world, the desire to seek, and the boundless space that gives them form. The intellect from which all wisdom is born. It is no longer a puppet, destined to perish in the funeral of knowledge, leaving behind an iron tombstone.

Battle Notes - Team Composition
This is a LONG fight, so you're going to want to make sure that you bring the correct Characters that will be useful. z is weak to Ice, Lightning and Quantum DMG.
F2P Characters that may help here include The Trailblazer (Remembrance), March 7th (Preservation) and Herta to deal with the Ice DMG and deal damage multiple times per turn, giving them more Energy. Serval can deal with the Lightning DMG weakness, while Qingque, Lynx and Xueyi can all use Quantum DMG. Lynx is also useful as she can heal, making her a powerful ally if used with March 7th. Unfortunately you can't stall for too long thanks to Amphorean Hatred, so make sure to bring your hard hitting DPS Characters or Characters who charge their Energy quickly.
Otherwise, just make sure to bring some powerful characters that can hit weaknesses and deal damage. Firefly's always useful thanks to her ability to apply Fire Weakness, freeing up your team a bit. Cyrene and Evernight are newer characters that can use Ice DMG, and Castorice works well with the pair to target all enemies and deal Quantum DMG while also buffing Cyrene...
...actually, that's just a good team comp in general. Bring Hyacine if you really feel like hurting someone.

Writer's Notes / Question of the Day
Holy Peak. So Peak, in fact, that I finished writing this guide before the wiki even had a page on the boss.
The new Amphoreus questline is SUPER good, and this boss is the pinnacle of that. While I would have preferred a happier ending and I do hope we get to see the Amphoreus Characters again, the final battle itself was everything I could have hoped for and more. It actually felt like the Trailblazer was the important one, which hasn't happened since Cocolia in Belobog. Here's hoping that future battles are just as great as this one, although between Penacony's story and Amphoreus' battles I don't see how they could come up with something even greater without bringing Honkai Impact 3rd into the mix. I'm super happy with this update and I wish you all luck on your future Star Rail adventures!
I hope you all enjoyed the guide, everyone ♪
