V Rising Boss Guide: Adam the Firstborn

The new final boss of V Rising, Adam the Firstborn, holds the Shard of the Monster. In this video, I'll show you how the battle works and some tips on how to defeat him.

If you're learning this encounter for the first time, I recommend getting used to leaving the fight and restarting. You'll need to bring a lot of health potions to help with this, but you're better off learning how to master the fight before you try fighting him to the death. If you haven't learned the fight yet, Ice Block is a useful skill since it can help block most attacks, and gives you a bit of healing.

Good luck! 🦇

Wow! Really appreciate the effort you put into this and the fact that you showed when things were not going so well and had to reset the fight. Well done!

[torqueblue]

Well done man, this dude is no joke. I had to try out different blood types till I found a winner for this fight. Greatsword really kept this fight alive for me. The I-frames it gives, gives you the option to save your evades and defensive spells for oh snap moments.

This is the only guide I need. Awesome video btw.

YESSS THIS IS THE GUIDE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR

[itsajindae]

well shit. now iceblock is an ultimate ability D: that makes it so much more difficult

[xfqmqpl]

Incredible guide. Well-spoken, well-explained, and so easy to understand.

Also, I noticed that you didn't use Pistol Q very much and opted to go for the basic attacks. Is it better DPS? I imagine that Fan the Hammer also has the attribute bonus which should really help.

[s.devries]

you are very calm fighting him i dodge like crazy and die 10 times over and over lol very frustrated

[catsi]

Sheesh and i thought Solarus left a lot of crap on the table when you fought him 😮😮😮😮
oh man this is gonna be crazy when i try him, thankfully thats a while away Dominas my next target.

thanks again for the hard work Glenn its much appreciated 😺

Used this build (no blood moon because I kept trying over and over and 2 blood moons didn't work well enough) red pendant and my guns had the storm buff (static) took a couple tries and I succeeded.I did use the Phase 1 exploit. I did all ''uber bosses'' with guns. Gorecrusher brute blood and winged horror (blood moon) Rogue blood (phantom aegis and blood rage both have the remove debuff ability with a jewel). I used different builds for the other 2 However. Thank you.

I found a trick. Ok, you can say it's cheating 😂You activate him and move to the corner of the balcony closest to him. You cast an angel in the arena from there, without jumping in the arena. If you are lucky (took 4 tries for me), he moves towards the angel, so very close to the balcony, to attack the angel. From the balcony you can then attack him with rain bolts, mosquitoes and dark knights till you recharge the angel. Instead of mosquitoes you can use void. Be sure your attacks are continuous, the second he doesn't get hurt he respawns.

He would be hard enough without the machines. Dealing with both him and the machines is a bit much. Im about 0-12 against him so far, on normal difficulty.

[mithranruwodoalvisbeseitri]

this boss was unnecessarily difficult, but maybe its on me since I gotten use to the double dash of the chaos dash as well as blood rage for extra healing, everything else was well... meticulous

[PragmaticTornado]

Tried him just for the lulz today, and quickly decided to dash away. I'll stick with the main bosses since I play solo. I presume these are much harder than the final boss anyway, rendering the buff useless for solo play.

[andorandor]

What r those 2h buffs you have? I've trying doing this boss with melee...no chance, after watching your video I've tried using crossbow and got him to 1/4 hp but he killed me after trowing my ass into one of those lighting bubbles. I still need to upgrade 1 piece of Dracula's armor and one epic gem for abilities, maybe then I'll manage. Also if you have lightning resistance that would make a whole lot of difference if that's what that buff of yours is.

[lawv]

Its strange. Got my ass beat by him close to 40 times. But when I finally beat him, i finished the fight with nearly 3/4 of my health remaining.

[oladambo]

I cant harness the powers after they are placed in the pedestals, do they work differently now after the new update?

[natemorris]

Ice Block is no longer a regular move. Any updated suggestions?

[brokendreams]

question, with the release of the 1.0...it seems that the iceblock is no longer in the game.

[forcommentpurposes]

Piss shet boss lol, his instant grab in later stages is so busted, i swear the grab hitbox is busted. I really need to work on my camera movement, he mostly comes from behind me off camera. The 2nd phase i am literaly clueless has to what to do. But thanks for the tips i will try them

[tomislavterek]

yea next content patch deletes all your progress so you have to do all this all over again. looking forward to it.
