How to Approach a Difficult Boss in V Rising 1.0 - Beginner Tips

In this video, I give you some beginner tips on how I approach a new boss.

Start by using at least 1 defensive ability, and then keep your distance and simply watch what they do. This will give you more time to react, and allow you to learn the timing of their moves!

As the fights go on, their moves change, so as you master a few mechanics, you'll be presented with a new one. As long as you keep these things in mind, you can defeat any boss with enough practice.

I started playing about 10 days ago and got killed by Keely like 20 times. Even when I was higher level than her, I could not just face tank. Once I realized that every boss fight is going to be about damage avoidance first, and damage second, the game became much easier. I use the environment to avoid a lot of damage. Seems to be working.

I would agree about defensive abilities, with one exception: necromancer builds.
If you have two abilities slotted in that spawn undead without requiring a kill, you can overwhelm a lot of bosses in the game with a constant, steady flow of disposable undead. Enemies will *usually* focus the undead, though they might throw the odd ability your way you scan sidestep.

Bone Explosion is a great ability to sub out as well in boss fights where there are a lot of adds; you can get it gemmed to do truly obscene AoE damage and spawn clusters of skeletons. A perfect gemmed Bone Explosion competes for strongest basic spell AoE in the game, and everything it kills stands up as your own adds.
In some fights, I will even rock a second AoE spell with Bone Explosion, typically a chaos spell to put ignite on. Ignite -> Bone Explosion causes a huge AoE domino effect that wipes out add waves on bosses and produces a small army of undead to rush them.

I have more combos that have no defensive but wreck shop, if anybody is interested.

im so ready for this guide to be significantly more useful once i start brutal

[mithranruwodoalvisbeseitri]

I just utilize mobility usually for bosses, my most favorite one is to summon a skeleton guardian, the bounce attack shield, the spirit dash and elect ultimate.
Basically I summon the skeleton first and load the initial attack with a bow, crossbow or gun, when they come close I dash leaving a shadow for them to hit, a few more auto attacks than sheld to reflect their attack into and ultimately if I'm low on health a dash hence and repeat.
Works for me for most bosses

Playing on Brutal. Sometimes you can't afford keeping your distance, if you're not aggressive enough you are toast. Other times, if you don't keep your distance you get blown to bits. Brutal makes you respect the bosses, learn their moves, and use anything you can to your advantage. Defensive abilities help in the above mentioned situations, when you're caught out of position, or to extend your damage window, or to create one where there would be none to begin with.

Brutal vs normal is Such a HUGE difference.

Like, “this is the same game?” Kinda difference.

Goes from V-rising to what people make dark souls seem like.

Bosses get SUPER spammy, new attacks are basically instant, no reaction time attacks, that require memorizing them, or planning around them (fighting the farbane bosses without the gear you get later on IS ABSTRACT PAIN), I had to turn it down when I got to the first necromancer boss (foul rot I think it was)

Nice guide. Good concepts to apply to Adam and potentially Dracula.

Rogue Blood and Long Bow also helps a lot in learning a boss skillset. Movement is king. There are also some moves that bosses will not do if you are not in melee, which make some of them easier to fight.

Just got V, game is amazing but i was struggling hard because like you said, this isnt a face tank kind of game 😂
You're vids have saved me a great deal of pain and new controllers, thank you good sir.

Good video, I’m on level 44 bosses and never used defensive abilities until now, I don’t know why I’ve not used em before,

[MagicalMaster]

V Rising is a tactical game. Everything is on a cooldown and you need to be paying attention. Always have a ward or counter available. On bosses that spam attacks my Ward of the Damned gives me an ARMY to eat through V-Blood Health. A gem that causes it to occasionally spawn mages instead makes it even better as they just start laying down hell, turning this defensive power into a POWERFUL offense while also serving as a distraction.

[ryanbernardo]

bro its been 2 days how are you already that far??!!🤣🤣 did you stream your progression in the game? also could you make another series like you did in the last patch please? I really enjoyed it 🙂

[ZanGDev]

dracula guide coming when lol !!! Love the content

[timroberts]

Any tips against brutal geomancer? Me and my buddy had the hardest time with her last night cause she constantly was summoning her sheild golems everytime we'd take them down. 😅

[rangosteel]

Something for new players learning bosses, they all say something (if they can talk) before they do an attack. If you learn the catch phrases you know whats going to happen

[TyrsHorde]

So Range Weapons are better than Meele Weapons in Boss fight? Meele Weapons only good in normal Fights?

[king_libra]

When you do a boss fight is everything shared if you beat it with a group/clan??

[AlexSmith-lbmm]

I dont understand how to get relatively geared enough to face henry when he's too high of a level for me but to get the next sets of armor you have to beat him

[JB_Gaming]

Has Adam changed with this update. He was the only one I couldn’t beat before. I struggled bad.

[shibalogic]

Brutal seems to escalate things really fast
