Advice on Velidreth

TheSeer · October 2016

When she says "That's it! Don't move a muscle!" and climbs onto the ceiling she is giving you sound advice, DON'T [censored] MOVE!!

I can't tell you how many times a group I was in wiped because they decided to run around and get skewered while I get left alone only to get eatten.

EDIT: Add more Advice for people.

Don't move until the spotlight disappears from under your feet, then get ready to roll out of a large red aoe circle.

You can Rez, heal, spam whatever skills you like while "not moving". If you so much as tap the keyboard or controller you get a spike. Some people also watch the ceiling before she falls since you can see her hanging up there, or, they watch for the squiggles in the dirt near their feet for when she's about to drop (a tell). Really, you just need passable reaction times. If you're with people that regularly stand in red, they're gonna die, repeatedly.

Oh and if you're at tank with around 45K health and max resistances, you'll probably be fine and can run around during that phase to heal, Rez, w/e.

You also get a warning "Velidreth is preparing to hunt with Shadow Sense."

So, what is it that some people don't understand with, "Don't move!" (and block.)

Well she's the bad guy, and a massive spider that wants to eat you...

I've been skewered a few times by that because I couldn't hear her. The people in voice chat were babbling about the atro lights, drowning out game sound, and I was minding the health bars and healing AOE and atro movements so missed any text warning.

Which is a real pain in the arse if you were going for the no-death run. Serious rage-quit material there.

Most of the time I don't pay any mind to screen text in game videos because it's from pc, and I'm on console so it is inapplicable. Just saw those captions on the vWGT solo videos which was done on a console, and will be looking to turn those on superfast.

Yes, she is the baddie, like all bosses in dungeons, but so, what does your reply comment have anything to do with "Don't move!" Lol! Same thing with the last boss in Hel Ra when he sprays his blast up in the air. Again with that, "Don't move!" and block!

When a creature like that tells you not to move, logic would dictate us to do move so that she couldn't web you up and eat you. And I'm pretty sure that 95% of the people on their first few runs through this dungeon kept making that mistake.

I think it's a cleverly thought out mechanic from ZOS

Don't move!, so listen to the bad guy for once

@Tryxus, you're literally not getting my point.. it's flying over your head. Lol! Yes, I AM saying not to move, in a more sarcastic, funny way (my apology.) I have beat CoS plenty of times. Same with Hel Ra, you're not suppose to move, but stay still and block with that last boss, when he shoots up his blasts to spray down on everyone. Yes, with Velidreth, don't move and block when the spikes are about to come up!
