r/vrising

EDIT: Holy crap did I misunderstand the research desk! I thought that was for decorations and other cosmetics, I somehow completely missed that you get gear recipes from this thing using paper. This whole time I thought you only got gear from the V-Blood Bosses. FML, thank you to everyone for explaining this.

EDIT 2: You guys have been really helpful, I dunno why google only linked me to the posts where the community was blasting someone, cus it gave me a really wrong impression of people here. Thanks so much for all the advice and helpful comments!

ORIGINAL: I am stuck in the level 20+ range, very early game. I'm stuck on copper gear and the questline and blood bosses aren't giving me new gear. It wants me to beat some level 35 necromancer for treasury floors, except the V Blood Bosses haven't given me any new gear since they gave me copper gear.

I genuinely do not know what to do at this point. I have been taught that I get my new gear by beating the V Blood Bosses, however they have not given me anything new in a while. I can't figure out how to take my servant with me, I seem to be only able to just deploy them on missions. I am getting utterly slaughtered by this necromancer however.

I seriously feel I am missing something, perhaps something the game thought was common sense? Getting advice is difficult as well, because whenever I look up posts where people have difficulty, the community is very aggressive with the skill issue comments. So please let me say that I get it, I'm hot trash at video games, and there's probably a little hostility in this post as a result of me worrying that I'll get that response too, I am sorry for that. That said, this feels absurd. I must be missing something here, I can't possibly be expected to take on these bosses a good 10-15 levels lower than their level, but no other V-Blood boss gives gear.

The AOE attacks of the bosses is insane, I don't understand how skilled people handle it in the early game. I have very few spells, and my cooldowns are very long. The guy who throws bombs was a nightmare, and I only beat him out of luck. How are we meant to handle the AOE spam in small areas that guy was doing? The only time I found I could attack him was when he got stuck on corners while running away, but he kept throwing bombs that became more bombs that became more bombs WHILE running around setting a big bomb and I spent like eight minutes running in circles just waiting for an opening because I couldnt' figure out how to stay out of that stuff in the tiny arena with a ten second cooldown on my dodge.

I tried cramming my spell bar with the dodge and counter spells and I still just can't keep up. If I take even one hit, I've lost a good third of my health at least from a normal summoned archer of all things. That's what gets me, the bosses rarely hit me, they just summon a bunch of ads, including archers, that I can't burn down fast enough because my gear level is so low. I can actually get the necromancer down to almost 1/4th his health now, I am getting slowly better at the fight, but I swear it shouldn't feel like I'm playing some old NES game where I just have three hits I can take before I die and that's it.

I tried making potions, but the heal is slow in combat and breaks if I take damage, and the magic boost potion hasn't helped much. And I don't need the sun resistance one, or the silver resistance one, and I haven't found any other v-blood boss that gives more alchemy yet.

I just don't understand what I'm missing. Is it the rat? Am I supposed to just hunt him down first? He's the only one left I have that's lower level than this necromancer, but there's no way to track him.

I am 4 V Blood Victims away from fighting the BBEG: Dracula!

Thanks everyone who had answered my previous question with respect and kindness.

After this , I'm not sure what to play next.

I want to play solo and there is so many options i dont know what should i touch

>!Fuck you !<Solarus. You with your >!Fucking bullshit!<Light balls of death. Your stupid >!Fucking !<Angel of >!Bullshittery. !<You and your >!Bitch aass mother fucking bullshit coded fuck shield. !<Get rrekt. He's dead now. I won after a billion attempts.

What's even more maddening is that Adam, a boss I struggled with for days on normal. I killed in like 4 attempts for brutal.

Only Megara, Simon and Dracula remain for the Brutal 100% run.

I tried some of the mods that includes different classes, but we didn't like the xp progression system. Anyone know of any mods that help with customizing your gameplay style (Melee tank, full spellcaster, etc..) but that doesnt change the gear system?

I played the game for a while and rather than continue to smash my skull against a boss I wasn't personally having fun against, I put the settings on like turbo noob. I mean x3 phys, magic, and hp. I see everyone posting their major hardcore achievements but none of those of us who love the game despite being god awful at it. I love the RP aspects and designing my castle and with the stat increase to make combat less punishing I've been loving that too. I know I'll get better over time, but its unlikely I'll ever play above easy difficulty. Any other super casuals out there that are the same way or used to be the same way but got better?

Hi, im playing solo on duo servers and i need build to feel more comfortable doing 1x2 in open world. Usually i use rogue/warrior + brute, counter + blood rage / curtain, never played any mage builds. i have decent experience in pvp but if feels impossible to win 1x2 vs semi decent players. Is it really build problem and i just need to get gooder? i mean, ofcourse this game is about players skill, but maybe my build/playstyle just doesn't work well

Bit of an update from my previous post, I'm well into the game. I've recently killed the V Blood victim that gives me the crafting of Large Storage Containers along with Fish and Coin Containers.

Sorry, I'm not at home right now but was day dreaming of my rising to power while away from home.

I recently found a new plot to build and while doing so I was called away for family stuff. I'm about to head home in 30 minutes and gonna jump on my new found castle.

What are some of your build tips and tricks for mid-late game shenanigans?

For reference; I remember my gear level is roughly 70.

Base defense is nowhere to be seen despite being asked for in years. The tech is already present. Just put a summoning crystal, move it slowly from a random settlement using caravan mechanic to the player's base. For a $98 game with full DLC, that is not much to ask, is it?​​​​​

All I have to say is this. >!Fuck!< you Vincent.

That is all, have a wonderful day everyone except Vincent, >!Fuck you!<.

While I don't have guides for all bosses, I do have what I consider the hardest/most interesting ones including the final five. Many are no-hit guides with specific builds, but for the most part I'm showing you the boss moveset and how to counter it - which you can do however you choose. The 'puzzles' in this game have many solutions.

Some tips -

1. Circle strafe. If you've played Fromsoft games, you know that butt-stabs are the key to victory. Similarly here, if you get used to the movement of circling around the boss as you attack (or wait for spell cds), you can sidestep MANY abilities without using a dash or iframe.

2. Don't move too much. On fights with ground-based volleys or attacks that cover the ground, simply finding a safe spot to stand while actively not panicking is the ticket. Most bosses don't require a lot of acrobatics anyway, so overly moving is not usually needed.

3. Bosses have a very limited moveset. As you progress, the game gives you tools to deal with boss moves. Think of each fight like a puzzle, and your spellbook as things you can use to solve the puzzle. For example, does Vincent charge you 3 times while slowing you? To solve that puzzle, use a dash for one charge, a counter for the second, and a bait/sidestep (or environment) for the third. In your spellbook is everything you need for every boss.

4. Once a boss is locked into the trajectory of their charge/nuke/whatever, MOST OF THE TIME they can't change it. For example, Erwin and Willhelm will telegraph their charge with a specific animation, after which time you can simply step to the side (or reverse the direction you're going). Many boss attacks will try to 'lead' you, meaning it will attack slightly ahead of which way you're moving, so a simple reversal of direction will avoid attacks like this (Megara has a nasty one but you can bait it in one direction and then switch quick).

5. If bosses are out of moves, they may do a disengage (roll, jump, etc) or simply mill around until their spells come up. They don't have 'white damage,' ie autoattacks. Every swing is a spell. You can bait their swings in various ways and predict their spells based on the internal cooldown of their moves. It sounds complex, but it isn't. For example on dracula phase 4, the knockback happens every 20 seconds, the rain of swords happens every 10 seconds, and the blood curtain happens every 5 seconds - knowing this, you can create an iframe or dps rotation around it, since it's never random or unexpected.

I hope this all helps, I love this game with my entire soul. It's some of the best combat and boss design I've ever seen, and I feel brutal mode is the true essence of the game. So if I can help in any way, please comment. I love when people finally beat the boss for the first time cause I know how happy that makes me feel xD

My wife and I keep trying to do a game together but we can’t figure out how to find each other.

We’re both getting frustrated with it. How do we play together?

I'm pretty new to the game, but I found a 100% worker up at the Dunley Farmlands werewolf village. I have prison cells available, and I had it dominated - but my dusk caller stones can't be selected; the game saying "requires dominated target"?

Anyone have any ideas to fix? I don't like my chances of making it back with psychopathic militia archers ready to burn their entire homeland down.

I watched Terrible Timmy do his brutal hardcore run and thought i would give it a try. Context i have played Vrising alot. Pve, solo and pvp quite a few times on a variety of difficulties so felt pretty prepared. I got to Dantos and just got really unlucky with the bubbling pots and his slams. I had tons of fun though on the run. Timmy if you read this thanks for idea and hats off to you for getting it done.
