@Avnr congrats man!! And epic post, I'm fully with you to leave it hard i felt the same after my first clear, so rewarding.

Ignore all the people that will come here bitter about RNG on what you 'got' grinding anything for gear is a way to ruin content, so i just went about vMSA by going back to it to get better / faster and let the weopons come as a by product.

@Argah you need to realise thst the boss health defines when she smashs the islands and when the adds spawn. So take it slow, when adds land kill then before going back to DPS boss. You want to end up on the two sigil island, popping both to melt her before she gets you. Good luck

Thanks Beardimus

I'm not sure this is true at the 5th stage. When I played there a few weeks ago, a lot of times all the islands were destroyed and I ended up in icy water while the boss still had more than 50% of health - so the general opinion that _island_destroying_ is connected to boss' % health is not (always?) true.
You need to kill very fast, so I think this is a time/DPS battle. You do need to watch for the trolls smashing the islands too (take them out immediately after they spawn)

Nope, it is indeed health based. If you run out of islands too early it means you've missed a troll.

Did not miss a troll. Always get them first as I said already. Died/restarted at least 50 times in one go. I clearly remember dying a lot at the last island being destroyed by the boss which still had more than half of his HP; sometimes even 70% or 80% when I tried to take out all of the adds first. This happened at least 20 times in a row when trying different tactics. There must be something else here..

Congrats. Never has a game induced so much rage.

Clearly never played FIFA lmao

N'aaaah bruh. See, that's where you're wrong (IMO). I've played: Mega Man games, Devil May Cry games, Castlevania games, Ninja Gaiden games, Dark Souls games, Bloodbourne, Super Mario games, etc. And none of them by far compare to the amount of bs and rage that VMA makes you endure. Not by a long shot. I'd rather fight Mega Man's Quick Man fused with Slash Man (would be a fusion of bs), all the while dealing with Ninja Gaiden's Alma at the same time to farm VMA weapons than VMA.

And are you ready for the plot twist, and crazy part...? It's the misc. bs and lag that makes VMA hard. Not the mechanics themselves.

How do you do the ice stage? I'm cp160 doing it on normal can stay alive no bother kill ads etc. but when last boss comes always end up with nowhere to stand and freeze with him having about quarter health left.

kill adds fast an block boss , i use tri pot posion for stamina and cp for roll dode and break free

75% 50% must go out when he start to break the ice

It's realy all abput dps and crit , kill fast and get crit heal

Well, the Stage 5 boss is not a DPS race UNTIL the boss breaks the second ice platform. When you have one platform left that's when you dump ultimate and grab the weapon sigil if you still have it.

Congrats on your complete!

Hard , evil ...frustrating...you name it
Finly...

The reward was super nice

Only way to make it work is to ignore resist , heal, reg builds and focus on DPS, crit , crit heal to finish .

That was done with mag sorc , beginners build necro , willpower and monster set , random sharp destro

I can say now , keep it hard , vma made me wayy better

To all that still stuck , never give up!

Try it again.. Its so weird that the first clear was the most difficult rage fest then the next clear comes so easy compared. That is what I tell everyone who is stuck. 1st clear is horrible 2nd clear is so much easier is frightening
