Vet Maelstrom Arena Timer

Molag_Crow · January 2016

If I go back to the wayshrine when I die inside vMSA, and go AFK for more than 5 mins, will it reset?

Or will it only reset if I exit the place completely, after 5 min?

I'm not sure, haven't tried this. I do know you can go afk as long as you want in between rounds when you finish one. As long as you don't log out it will not reset.

So if you die and want to take a break you can. Just don't res and remember to move your mouse every once in a while. Or finish one round and don't enter the portal.

Btw, the overal timer for your score also stops running if you finish a stage. So you can take a break, have a coffee, smoke a sig, whatever it won't mess up your score as long as you don't enter the portal after you finish a stage.

Boss spawns:

1.dps
2.dodge or block his heavy
3.grab defense sigil
4.kill healer
5.dps
6.dodge or block his heavy
7.kill crem guard
8.dps boss till 70%
9.port up
10. Destroy 3 crystals
11. Run straight to boss and interrupt
12. Dps/grab ghost
13. Dodge/block his heavy
14. Grab second ghost
15. Dps and stay close to interrupt his dot
16. Grab 3rd ghost/use synergy
17. Kill him

Grab more sigils for easy mode, but wait until drop down fase. You can also grab power sigil and or speed sigil before you port up for easy mode crystal destroying.

Hope it helps!

Yeah well you have to keep moving to stay logged otherwise it will reset eventually. Good luck though.

Need any tips?

That's the strat that I'm going with, thanks, but I'm losing focus to be honest with you.. you don't even wanna know how many hours I've spent on him because I keep brainfarting and making ridiculous mistakes and switching abilities/spells around then pressing the wrong ones, and all that kind of stuff... $:\$ haha

Haha tell me about switching bars and messing up.... You can do it! Several hours on final boss might be to much though

My current record is 1 hour and 7 min for the entire arena XD

Good luck next time. If you made it that far you'll surely finish it. The last boss really isn't the hardest part of the thing.

Good night

Thanks and it's definitely a fatigue issue, because I was making so many stupid mistakes, but what's messing me up the most is the Crem guard... I've got him down multiple times but sometimes I fail to get him down quick enough. My crystal run on the above platform is usually perfect too, but then after that, when he gets to like... 50%? and spawns another crem, I panic and try to burst him/grab a sigil/get nuked by boss at the same time as trying to get the gold ghosts, etc LOL. peace!

Last fase you are supposed to have 3 ghosts by The time The crem guard Spawns. And then kill him. Quickly.

Molag_Crow · January 2016

@pronkg I managed to do it finally! because like you said, the ghosts... I managed to collect 3 of them and nuke the Crem guard then finish the boss off with Radiant destruction... Phew. Man that fight is all about timing and coordination, it's CRAZY lol

I'm not sure, haven't tried this. I do know you can go afk as long as you want in between rounds when you finish one. As long as you don't log out it will not reset.

So if you die and want to take a break you can. Just don't res and remember to move your mouse every once in a while. Or finish one round and don't enter the portal.

This is very interesting to hear. Lately I had been rushing to the portal to start next round as soon as boss is down, and usually end up making a mistake later on from a lull in concentration. Good to know I don't need to smash through every round immediately*

Your order on the final stage is so important, and that's why I kept messing up because if it weren't the crem guard hitting me like a truck, I'd either not have enough ulti for Nova on the crem guard & boss, or I'd forget to dodge roll/block, or interrupt, or not switch to heal quick enough (since I use my right thumbstick ((clicked in)) to bar swap, which can be tough to press down quickly...) man, so easy to mess up, but it's a good fight

Molag_Crow · January 2016

Oh and by the way, just to confirm, I was half AFK/taking a break OUTSIDE the main portal into the arena (not out out, but inside by the 2 NPCs of the arena where you repair and go into the doors to enter the portal to the arena) And the final stage reset back to round 1, but I was still on stage 9.
