Judgement of Veloth (VR7) - bugged or intentional roadblock?

Tavore1138

This is a silly quest, or a silly boss anyway...

She hits for well over a thousand right through a block, she cannot be CC'd or stunned, her add (a ghost) also does over 900 which can be dodged but apparently not blocked or interrupted. Their basic attacks do 3-400+.

I can sort of see how a mage type build might get away with this but as a melee build I just can't see a way through this with my level of skill (which has got me this far so presumably not totally rubbish). I have tried a variety of skills and tactic combinations and without making a totally fundamental shift to my build style, armour weapons and play style I don't see myself ever doing this fight. And that means I ain't ever progressing further.

I am wondering if it is that this fight is still bugged after the accidental increase of VR monsters because all the VR7 ghosts are hitting with these 900+ hits through block and maxed armour. I think I could probably take Vox on her own but when they synch their specials it is just too much.

The zone itself is so empty that I am unable to get someone to group with either from searching in game or on the forums.

If anyone has any helpful suggestions that would be just great. If CS can confirm if this is a bug they are looking to fix at some point even better. And if anyone wants to pop by to say how they took it down without losing any health then well done but I don't need you to share right now unless you did it with a melee based NB build.

Right now I am very close to being done with ESO after this one - sub is reduced from 6 down to 1 month.

Gonna bump this once just in the hopes that someone has a useful response, but the lack of response so far from CS or any players kind of makes my central point for me....

You can take someone else there if they are the same part, but as all V1+ are in Craglorn power leveling from V1 to V12 killing the same boss getting 37k exp per kill. No one is questing in the old zone.

Do you have anyone on your friendlist who have already done this quest?

If so, ask them to use the travel to player function. That worked for me when i was stuck on her.

Tavore1138

@Natjur - that's what I thought might be happening it's got to the stage now where if I encounter anyone in game I do a double take unless I am doing a bit of ore gathering down level.

@Maotti_Nor - Didn't know it worked that way, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm VR12 Templar with good items and I cant even come close to beating this boss. I'm going to see if a friend can teleport to me so I can finish.

Get any Sorc or DK mate, they can solo it for you.

Tavore1138

Lol, and just to attest to the uneven nature of this I have just solo'd through the VR8 area main quests and not died once to a single named enemy (trash mobs still lethal though).

I did this quest last night, VR2 version, Everyone is out in Craglron, but they may comeback with today's anomaly nerf. this fight gave me trouble too, i had to sneak attack her every time i tried, and tired to burn her, luckily she has no range, so i kept running way and soul leached her from afar a few times, she's not immune to vamp life drain stun. and ghost serves as an easy burnable to get more health and regen from, then finished her off.

sporting 3 parts of Dragon(duel wielding claws), and 3 of shadows sets, used the NB cheap ult that does heavy instant damage, so those fire damage enchants help as well as the 15% Ult discount, and heal when using said ult

I can't solo everything, but I can most, if i just throw my head at it a few times

Tavore1138

I'm happy you were able to succeed - tried the soul swallow approach but ti was not offering enough healing to deal with the undodgable attack for 900 from the add.

I tried sneaking and although I could get the first attack of the fight off sneak that was it, she and the add attacked me through shadow cloak, even with blocking on she hits for over 1800 with her uppercut, if you roll away from it she seems to be able to use it as a 'ranged' weapon.

I'm not a vamp but she is certainly immune to stun from NB abilities 'cos the dialogue tells you so and the add is immune to the fear ability too...

I have had 3 bosses I have not been able to solo so far this game, the Dark Mane with two boss level adds in Reaper's march VR5, the Alchemist in the area before this @VR6 and Vox @ VR7, I have parked her in the hope of more people coming back one day to group with and have got through Shadowfen (all bosses solo'd) and have started out in Windhelm.

I haven't complained about the VR content before, and I'm generally enjoying the game so far.. but this is moronic at best, can't be CC'd, moves faster then I do so no kiting, do block even work on her?

Getting a group to finish this seems almost impossible too..

I think I'll just park this char, talk about roadblock.. makes me regret not playing pact instead so I could have avoided this crap

Think I'll make a ticket, the Alchemist was a cakewalk compared to this..

I did the VR2 version a few days ago and it was terrible. I died maybe 15 times trying different combinations of melee and range, the only way I could do it was by keeping at max range while running backwards with a bow, then when Vox closed the gap I would use all my magicka keeping invisible to get to the other side of the room. I still nearly died and used a ton of potions.

Corew

Yeah, this isn't "fun", it's just frustrating.. I'm all for interesting mechanics, but making a boss immune to everything, hit like a truck and put it on perma sprint isn't what I'd call "interesting". Then give it adds that hits just as hard, oh joy..

Tavore1138

Block sometimes works but mostly not, I had one time she wound up for an uppercut so i rolled backwards... Twice... She followed me still sparking and killed me with the uppercut anyway...

She had an extra ghost add last time I tried... So her plus two ghosts now... Devs must have felt the poor girl needed a buff (sociopaths!).

Still the only boss I have not been able to beat...

drconstableb16_ESO

Still too bloody tough now! I can kill the two ghosts, but by the time I do, my Stamina is too low to finish her off. If I give her the run round to let my Stamina rebuild, she resets and I have to start all over again.

I don't see why I should have to group up to complete what is suppossed to be a SOLO quest.
