Boss for third floor of Fang is ridiculous.

[Dalinuel]

I like the way it is, more of a challenge and will keep everyone playing

[Kakatoa91]

The difficulty is all right I guess.
No need to lower it.

People need to lvl a bit and/or teamwork well.

At least its challenging

[Treenire]

To be honest, i like the difficulty. If u dont work as a team, you die. Simple as that. Ive done emma a fair few times now and have been successful BUT only because we worked together (which, isnt that what pl is about?).

Found if everyone stands in one spot the group tends to survive =]

[Moogerfooger]

Yep post spamming!

The only boss I have an issue with is Count Vlod. I get at least 1 death every time I go there.

Chant helped me out there....I have done him the last three times with no deaths. Basically, he has some sort of Beckon/debuff attack where the Count pulls you in....and you will get one-hit KOd even with a 4x about 4 secs later. However....Chant told me to back/run away from him the instant his Beckon releases you, as it "SEEMS" (just seems, no proof yet) that his one-hit power attack has some sort of radius. I would immediately back/run from him as soon as the Beckon attack was over, and then I kited with an Autobow like a fool. He followed me around, probably because of my elixir...so not sure what it would be like without one. Get a bird to kite the heck out of him, and the other party members just had to deal with chasing him chasing me, and running themselves if they got caught by his Beckon...but if I recall, that first run where Chant told me that (she gets credit), I think only one teammate died because they didn't back up from the Beckon fast enough, and the next two times we all made it out with no deaths.

Now, not sure if this would work with no elixirs. Just a starting "maybe" point.

Thanks Moog! I'll give it a try!

Running from Vlod the second you can after his beckon definitely works. But it's not a sure thing. I've run away, far away and still been clobbered. However, knowing this, I haven't seen a group wipe or even a mostly group wipe. Just run when he tries to pull you in and everyone kite and spread out. OTOH, I'm not sure you can do him w/o one mage. However, you can definitely do him with just one mage, if the mage knows to stay away from him.

[Elixir_Withdrawal]

Well duh is hard, you yourself just said u spend a few plat just to beat him right? That pocket legends business! Emma as well...

So, there is a strategy to make this fight easy. Trivial, even.

Try searching for different strategies and try to think outside of the box.

I've done this fight several times already and even solo'd her on both a bear and a bird, both level 63, with "ok" items.

It depends whose character you were on,
If it is Flip's then that's a different story, his stats are amazing.

Using what kinds of stats? Dev stats or regular player stats?

[Flip]

I witnessed him do this, all legitimate gear and stats. It was pretty epic! JSL gets a ninja-cookie today.

This was a regular, non dev character of mine, hence "ok" items.

My statistics are not any more than any other player at level 63.

I wouldn't assert that the boss has a strategy or was easy after playing it on a dev character that can one or two shot her.

[Reaganite]

Agree with you, Conradin!

I've managed to solo him twice with lvl 60 gear after fast initial party wipes. Kiting like a B, backing up form his Beckon, avoiding the smoke cloud that seems to be around as best I can (although I've no idea if it means anything yet), and slamming pots. Not really outside the box, eh?

But your mysterious "trivial" statement has got me interested

I suggest doing a little raindance before engaging, it might just be that easy.

[Phoenixking]

I noticed that vlod has bats sorounding him when he beckons i also notice poeple have bleed on them as if it was the proc it made and causes it to lower your health it also leaves me with a quarter of health

Yeah, the bats are near the smoke cloud I see around the time he beckons. i wonder if they are briefly target-able?

I may be wrong, and more than likely am. But I think avoiding them faces she throws at you avoids you a death lol.

[Haowesie]

I'm not sure if people already know as I've seen a lot of people always rush in...

The mages that surround Vlod can be lured away, dealt with and killed before boss. With a long range weapon (e.g. bird with xbow), stand at the door, shoot at one of the mages. All four of them (or was it five?) will then come to you at the door -- the party can then deal with them. Vlod will stay where he is unless your party rushes in the room.

With a full elixir'd party, then it doesn't really matter... But I prefer to deal with boss without having to worry about mob hitting on me. Hope this helps.

[Arod8ball]

the secret is, you give him your blood or your someone else. You both become friends and enter the 4th floor hand in hand.

this boss is great.
