Just how hard is it to achieve Flawless Conqueror?

rexagamemnon · December 2018

So ive been considering re-arming my favorite character on eso to start VMA ive done normal but not vet. So my plan was to study and learn the mechs more and then after enough runs, try and get the achievment. So how hard is it really?

It’s getting easier for players every patch ... due to the CP cap going up 30 every patch.

That said, vMA is a steep climb in difficulty versus normal. Be prepared to die a lot on your first clear.

Of course, liberal use of the sigils and having a little bit of luck with the poison plant spawns on Stage 7 goes a long way to getting your Flawless run ...

It is not hard, but it does take practice. My best advise is to record the runs if you are able and see where the spawns are and anything that is causing trouble for you. If not just learn how to get through each stage with no deaths and eventually the only threat you will have is RNG. Ask around, many will tell you about stage 7 and the RNG mushroom spawns.

Best of luck to you @rexagamemnon

It takes practice and good area awareness to avoid damage and handle mechanics well. Do not hesitate to use the sigils as you are not going for a score if you are working on your first clear.

Of course you are asking about a no death run. You will need to get to where you can clear vet to begin with and probably clear it pretty decent. Again, use Sigils.

I would suggest looking at guilds and videos for each arena to help you figure out how to overcome challenges you face.

You can do it if you choose to put the effort in.

If you can get Stormproof, you can get flawless. Just takes a bit of practice and at first a bit of luck. Build a bit more tanky if you are going for flawless. Contrary to popular belief there aren’t many hard DPS checks in vMA. Use Sigils liberally if you are going for Flawless. Better to have the boost and not need it, than to need the boost and not have it. Don’t worry about score, or time. Take 5 minute breaks between rounds, make sure your food, gear, and weapons are all good to go. Take note of what kills you. A lot of tough waves can be trivialized by preemptively placing yourself on the shield Sigil. Just takes again a little practice.

If you can beat vMA, you can flawless it, imo.

It's easy if You'll make setup dedicated for it and You'll use sigils.

I don’t have Flawless. Just here to bring leaderboard score averages down. Come back when you got Vet down good.

When I get to the seventh round no death, my hands are sweating and shaking. You know it’s coming. Something stupids gonna happen and BLAM. There goes that one.

Flawless conqueror is actually a very simple title to obtain, and there are a few reasons for that.

1 - It does not require you to do a speed run. You can take 2 hours or whatever, and as long as you don't die, you get the title.

2 - It does not require you to stop using sigils. If you abuse them every round, you won't die even if you try to.

3 - The content has not received a 'buff' since it's release, while DPS almost doubled and damage mitigation increased considerably.

So yeah, take these 3 things in mind, practice in vMA, learn the mechanics so you don't get caught off-guard, and you should get it.

The unchained, on the other hand... now that's a much more difficult one because it imposes those restrictions vMA doesn't.

It's not that hard, compared to a regular clear.

A relaxed clear requires inner knowledge of the mechanics, and what is going to spawns next, and how to deal with them.

Flawless requires pretty much the same.

In short, it requires practice, a lot of it... have fun

It'll seem hard for awhile, keep practicing. When you die in a particular round, try a different positioning/strategy for that round until you find what works every time. If you die because you're trying to out-dps the mechanics, try obeying the mechanics. Shrug it off when poison RNG kills you in 7 and try again.
