About Veteran Maelstrom Arena

Now i understand that is the solo contest more difficult in the whole game, and some players are so good that they end up with their eyes closed and a hand tied in the arm of the chair, but, according to my opinion, it would not be better to put a check point after the 2nd stage of the final boss? Considering additional points for who end up without dying.
Because i think it's the most stressful boss in the whole arena, where sometimes a bit of luck helps to finish it, which does not always happen ...
All the other bosses for me are easy enough but this for me remains a thorn in the side, fight too long, with a check point after the second stage i would be led to do this more willingly, probably with all classes, and i think i am not the only 1.
What do you think? Not to mention the small bugs/misfortunes that arise, such as the golden ghosts that always come out from behind the boss, or the boss skill that can not be blocked.
Have ZOS already made a video of the vet MA on Twitch?

I'm one of the original vet MA runners back before we could transmute, and I'll tell you that this idea don't make any sense at all. Why? Because that boss isn't hard. Hes easy. If you're having trouble there're always guides online and youtube video.

Maybe you right, i'll try it again soon.

@ThePlayer keep at it, and after you beat him a handful of times you'll start to notice it gets easier and easier, to the point you won't find him hard to beat at all compared to other bosses. Most seasoned VMA players I know will either say the ice arena boss or the spider daedra boss as harder.


With the final boss it really comes down to just knowing the mechanics and how to deal with them and once you do he is cake.

Yeah, that boss is not EASY and there are many random things that can kill you. Don't be put off by people saying 'it's easy' or 'L2P'. I recommend Joy's Guide:

And remember that all those players who can do it blindfolded died a million times before they got to that level

Final boss is just all mechanics man. Once you memorize it it's easy, he doesn't change up (well he does send the extra thingy on top sometimes).

Voriak is the biggest obstacle at first. There's alot going on and it can be very frustrating but once you beat him he's not hard anymore. The second time you clear you might die 5 times to him, next time maybe 1 or 2. Then you'll likely never die to him again unless you get overconfident.

As champion point level increases, it will get easier and easier. No need to nerf it, and this comes from someone who's only beat it once

When I first did Stage 9 I was dying to a lot of issues that didn't have anything to do with the boss:

-- Not staying out of the Crematorial Guard line of fire.
-- Not clearing adds before going upstairs
-- Running into the comets upstairs.
-- Running into ghosts downstairs.
-- Running out of resources.

Eventually, I got better at the mechanics. You will too, @ThePlayer.

Last one not easy, sure, but not hardest. At least, he is (and whole fight) is predictable.
Vaults of Umbrage is the hardest boss and stage

Yeh I spent weeks wiping on last boss. Now I find it easy. Spider boss is by far the hardest
