Fighting V Bosses is vital to your progression through the game. V Bosses will unlock items for your castle to allow you to build and craft better gear. V Bosses will also grant you Spell Points, which you can use to unlock spells in your spell book.
Finding V Blood Bosses
To find V Bosses, you can track them from your V Blood book.
Most of the bosses have a static location, setting up their homes in caves, churches, vineyards, and castles!
Some V Bosses like to walk around, they will stick to the main paths around an area. Go to the area and then use the blood tracking to fine tune their location.
If the V Boss has only just been killed then you will need to wait a few minutes for it to respawn. If you put them on track while they are in a cooldown state, then you will be able to see a ghostly image of them when you arrive at their location, this ghostly V will continue to path if the V is a pather, so be sure to follow it until the V respawns. You will be able to see a timer on the tracking text that tells you when the V will respawn.
V Blood Boss levels
You will want to be fighting V Bosses that are roughly the same level as your characters gear level.
The difference between your gear level and the V Boss level will effect the difficulty of combat.
Deadly: 10+ Levels higher
Challenging: 6+ Levels higher
Formidable: 3+ Levels higher
Matched: Close to your level
Weaker: 5+ Levels lower
You will deal less damage to foes of a higher level and they will deal higher damage to you in return.
Many of the bosses will unlock the ‘next tier’ of your weapons, Jewellery, or gear. When you kill these bosses, be sure to go back to base and spend time crafting your next level items, to make you strong enough for the next levels of V Bloods.
Tactics for the kill
V Boss fights are difficult! You will need to learn the mechanics and try to avoid being hit by the bosses abilities.
The bosses health and abilities will vary depending on the amount of players nearby. For most bosses, bringing a friend is a great idea, but bringing 3 or 4 friends might get you into a hot mess of bad on the floor and far too many adds to deal with! You will need to learn the balance that is best for your group.
When you get a V Boss down to half health, it will drop some health orbs so you can heal up!
Multiple players can suck the blood of a boss. If other players have helped with the kill, ensure everyone is ready to suck before you start! The dead V will stick around long enough for you to resurrect players that died during the fight.
