4 days ago, I
posted on how I'm giving up on VMA. In all, I died over 400 times to the last boss, the f%$*ing "Voriak Solkyn". I spent all my money on repair costs, then a kind stranger donated 10k to me, and I went in again. I blew 9k out of that, and my total gold in inventory is now 1782. I also have just one Witchmother's Food left, and only 39 soulgems out of hundreds to start with (I learnt only later that you could wayshrine out and keep your in-stage progress ).
I am cleaned out. VMA broke me. I just have the rags on my body and nothing else.
Upon completion, I got three weapons:
1. Maelstrom Bow
2. Maelstrom Sword
3. Maelstrom Axe
I was hoping for a lightning staff, but no luck
. Are these any good?
While it's fresh in my mind, here's what I learn about the last boss and how I finished him. Keep in mind that I died 400 times, so this "advice" should be taken with a pinch of salt. This is on a Magplar with 5 Julianos, 3 Willpower, 2 Valkyn Skoria
I also used trash stam pots for this fight.
1. Need to start with Ult up. But don't use it immediately. Use only if you can burst boss down to 70% WITHOUT using the force sigil before he teleports.
2. DPS and dodge skull.
3. He'll teleport. Shield up since you might have to run through a ghost to bash him and interrupt.
4. Walk away in anticipation of his "Impulse" like point blank AoE. Now use your Destro ult. This should catch the Daedra and hopefully the healer. Puncturing sweeps to stay alive.
5. Boss will now be 70% and port up.
6. Pan like crazy to find the "lit up" portal and kill clanfear near it. If you take too long, another Daedroth will spawn and you're screwed. So far, no sigils used.
7. DPS crystal on left. Dodge first skull. Keep moving from side to side as you continue DPS.
8. When he goes up, The wall will appear. Look at the position to see if it'll end up near you when he blasts. If yes, continue DPS. If no, move to the crystal where it will end up.
9. If the wall spawns immediately to your left, you can run after it (without using stamina)
10. Keep shielding. If you lose your shields, you will die to Soulchurn damage.
11. After blast, he will skull attack. Then around 7 seconds later, he will skull attack again. I drank a stamina pot after the first dodge to deal with this.
11. Once two crystals are down, jump down the inner ring as you can't keep up with soulchurn damage.
12. Upon falling, make sure you ROLL so that you need moving. Run to the healing sigil.
13. Use healing sigil to kill the fu%^ing Crematorium Guard without dying.
14. Kill clanfear again to go back up.
15. Kill last crystal as if you're going up for the first time. Make sure you have enough health and magicka before it goes down in preparation for the next phase.
16. You will get knocked down. SPRINT straight ahead for the defense sigil. This will reflect his channeled attack back to him. Good for us.
17. Run and get the force sigil now. Your Destro ult will be up again.
18. Wait for him to teleport. Unleash your destro ult on the as#&*le when he's in a new spot.
19. You might have to dodge his skull attacks. You might have to interrupt him again. But the 30s defence sigil might be up and allow you to reflect it back
19. I missed ghosts
. But the destro ult boosted by the force sigil ate away at his health and I was then able to use Radiant Glory for the execute. I also had the speed sigil so I was able to move around while casting.
Again, take this hard earned knowledge with the understanding that I died 400 times. So this might not be all that good.
