I did nMA "blind" first time last month in about 2 hours (CP 960 and many deaths). This second time around the poisin and enrage kept killing me over and over. This video on managing poison and leaving 1 mage made the difference and did that whole stage in about 6 minutes! Many thanks! Your speaking style, cadence, and explanations in simple terms make videos easier to understand. Other content creators seem to rush through using ESO (or general MMO) terms I'm still trying to learn (after a year of casual play with a dungeon focus so far). Thanks again!
I finally got through vMA. I died many times and never would have figured out the Ubrage stage without this!
Thank you for such a detailed walkthrough. Doing it my first time and only perished once, to the mechanic of Argonian behemoth boss (only because I rushed ahead without finishing watching that part). I wish more walkthroughs were done in this manner, because it's extremely helpful, especially to newer players like myself who aren't fully used to mechanics and who are unaware what to expect
Hey just wanted to say how enormously helpful your guide was. I got my flawless conq thanks to your guide and even made a video on how much I enjoyed running the content, you're the best!
literally never ran an arena before and got maelstroms curshing inferno staff first run! youre a life saver man
It's so funny, I found your channel after a fresh new player guide right when i started by chance.
Then you uploaded this like 2 days after my first maelstrom run. I did it blind and loved it. When work slows down i definitely intend to revisit it.
Like a boss - I am new to the game and barely 250 cp. I don't think I can get further than level 7, but i wouldn't had been able to get this far without this guide. Thank you!
Finally got my first clear today after being back and playing regularly for a few months. Love the guides. This was so helpful.
I got to the troll that breaks the ice and gave up. Was a total noob though- my gear sucked. Gonna try it again.
Here's a tip for the lizard boss arena with the venom plants if you get infected and your playing a magic base class with a shield you can pop that shield by spamming it untill you get to the cleansing pool to avoid your health depleting faster
Also if you are a sorcerer use streak liberally you can escape the plant before you even get poisoned
Thanks for the guide! Tonight I completed Maelstrom Arena for the first time, on vet, no deaths. Score 263537, probably because I was using the buffs like crazy and was watching your guide between arenas lol :)
Tried this today for the first time, made it no problem until i got to the ice arena, where they wiped the floor with me ugh. Glad i found this video, I'll have to give it another try.
Got the perfect 2h battleaxe on my first run. Exactly what my stam dk needed.
Thank the nine.
Thank you so much for this guide video !
Your video is really helping!Was struggling a lot veteran last boss ,because was low dps and his minions always was waiting me down after destroyed Crystal's xD
Got stuck in this place forever ago and never went back until I saw this video: just finished my first run and got my bow. Thanks Lucky!
That bow seems to never drop for me.. Have almost all the other sets except that damn bow..
Maelstrom arena... my arch nemesis...
Revisiting this video often as I am camping in vMA for a few weeks ;) This is so helpful!
Such a fun vMA video. Streams are great too. Look at how young you are! I will check back in about year to see if this video stands the test of time. 🙏🖖
This is great. Thank you. I will go back armed with your knowledge and hopefully finish the arene.
went in without knowing how long this was XD. love the guide!
Thanks Lucky. With a question, I always look for your content first. Cheers
Awesome video btw, helped alot on my hybrid dk :D
Thanks for the video! ^o^
Completed today cp358, Stamblade w/ RingOTPO, Hundings + Witchman.
Only deaths on poison, I won when after the first enrage and hiding in the shield I beat it by going all in and spamming whirling blades/surprise attack. Helpful advice dude!
What gear you wearing? I'm stuck in the poison room with trolls
Woo-hoo beat it thanks for the guide
Me at the start of this video: IS THAT THE GATE TO OBLIVION-
What armor set (cosmetic) is that?
Got through the spiders room completely ignoring the spiders bc of ropo lol I couldn’t remember what to do with the gold pillars 😂 I was like why would these thingns die then just vanished.
Do you have a video or written guide on this build somewhere, I need to use it so badly
Did this on normal. I'm too scared to try it on vet T_T
Great video, btw!
Aaaah I remember when I was scared to enter this arena… now I play and build characters only to do vVH and vMA
How did I miss this Live?! Let the replay commence :)
2.5 years to get the inferno staff. 1st run with the curated loot system. I turned my original toon, a tank, into your God mode magdk and it's now my hardest hitting dps. Loving the armory. I think ill try vet with it
Today. Did I mention he's an argonian?
Lucky what gear were you wearing for this vet maelstrom run?
Best tutorial.
Dude, that Ice level is a B on vet. I just did it last night. I'm not looking forward to the rest of it tbh. Your video has really helped, though.
Took me like 2 hours with Pet Sorc, CP 500, everything was pretty easy was just the last boss got me a few times cause I didn’t realise you could interrupt his skull ability lol, got the perfected restoration staff tho, Rip 😤
42:02you dont really must, it is up to you. U can also kill both umbrella ads without Protection und just bashing the Streaming Boss, then Killer
When he comes down at the end, i try to give him everything i got, but he keeps draining all my magicka because i try to self heal and i keep dying always that way
Your awesome! uwu
finally beat this for the bow got the restoration staff instead the grind continues lol
I've never tried doing the Arena content and tonight I felt like doing this one. Thank you for this video as I was one of those people who gave up at the icy stage until I watched your guide hehe :D
Quote from Lucky Ghost 10:30: It’d be cool if there was an arena added to the game where you could duo with a companion or friend…
I just ran normal after watching this guide. Normal is so easy. 700+ CP finished in about an hour on 2 diff toons magplar and my dktank with dps gear. So easy on my dpstank I use to solo everything just slower then standard high deeps toon but doesn't die ,i just ignored most of the mechanics and just facetanked everything. So I used him first. Then magplar and had to pay attention to mechanics. Magplar died a couple times but was so much faster. Thanks for the guide. Just stared playing in March.
dude even at 400 cp where i'm at. I tried normal and i 2 hit every mob. meanwhile in vet almost anything one hit kills me at 22k hp
I leave one mage up like I'm supposed to and the bosses enrage kills the second one through his bubble which then gets me killed
Hey Mate, nice Guide. It was helping me alot =) Can you tell me your transmogged Items. It looks real badass =)
if you swing by my stream and type "!outfit" the bot will give you all the motifs i used :D (i dont remember all the names off the top of my head)
How do you start normal version of the arena
I get the first horvar, then damage her with dots and parse, literally go get the next horvar and I get spit on in the time it takes to go from pillar to pillar with like 2-4 spits and one of those is 50k I have no idea how to get past this or if that’s a bug glitch or not. I get enraged hits hard but it’s the very first time she enrages like 10 seconds after she spawns. I gave up hoping I can restart the round and just get the stun at the beginning unlike when you die fighting her and rez. Granted I’m only cp530 but I really feel like the 50k is something way way off than it should be.
This reminds me of the runescape lava and kiln capes. Long winded fights the first time around and just a time waster the second time through. Kiln capes were the bis capes though so you know ya boy had to run it. Besides, easy 2m if you were bored and just got the onyx reward.
What gear u wearing on this build ?
Great stuff fab🎉
Completed this on vet for the 1st time yday, did it again today took about an hour, only used one sigil on the last boss, died once, and got just over 500k, top 30 atm, owe a lot to u if I get my gold weapon 😂
So is maelstrom vet any easier now in 2024 than it was back then?
*grabs walking cane* Back in my day normals didnt drop weps, and there was no way to change traits on dropped items. now THAT was GRIND.
dude, i cant even comprehend having to get the right item, and the right trait from the boss. my. god.
am stuck at the poison boss but now I see how to do it.
Followed the guide but got hit with so much bs I don't think I'm trying it again anytime soon, did beat though after 6hrs
I'm level 900 and I'm going to run this for my very first time. So watching this to learn. #AllHailtheChair
How did u do first run? I did my first run blind at CP 960 in about 2 hours but must have lucked out in poison/enrage stage. 2nd run kept dying over and over til now. Did whole nMA in about an hour with 1 death and no sigils. I'm still learning.
@@chiefkuuni LOL. Keep trying. Best thing I learned from LuckyGhost, Alcast, Xynode, and others is to be deliberate and methodical in yoiur rotation. And learn not to squeeze the controller. And learn to watch your timers. And weave every 1 second (I use a metronome app set for 0.95 seconds (due to human
lag). Good times!
thanks, just beat this after 1700 hours of doing other content
using ring of the pale here made it so much easier
got the maelstrom fire staff the first run while watching this. O_O
Finally able to finish this arena, in normal mode, although I died three times, despite using shields and other buffs. Is there any good reason to do the veteran instead of normal, does it provide with better gear ?
Yes the "Perfected" version of the weapons have an extra effect, for example Perfected Merciless Charge has +1190 offensive penetration.
How many times a day can you run this?
Finally at 800 cup I passed normal t.t ty ty
Those blades can also change direction mid fight as well, idk if it was a recent update but it’s impossible to survive it below cp 1500
@@comments9125 I tried with a shield, the bleed dmg still takes effect and it stacks making it even more annoying
Hi Lucky, what skill line is that last one on back bar to regain resources?
I've been in vet about 10 times now, I'm starting to have it in my head what happens where and when. But I'm dying one or two times per run and im struggling to put it all together and get that flawless
@@LuckyGhostESO thank you lucky, I just try to keep motivated and consistent :) my build is good at least
I guess a problem area is umbrage. Rng deaths and when things get a bit too hectic I don't play cleanly - too much adrenaline leading to button mash and dying
So I’m like really low level at 31, only been playing since January 2022. But I’m interested in trying to complete just 1 mainly for the weekly Endeavor.
Is it possible at my level? And where is this located?
It's possible, but it's a better idea to get to cp 160 (max gear level) so you'll have it at all times after 160.
What is that armor combo?!
Normal maelstrom I pissed last night with no deaths vet started dying after the 3rd level
I need that armor for my league of legends character. Darius of noxus.
Do u still do videos ?
Do you do pvp?
Very nice outfit. What is this one?
See after getting the hang of the arena the part that will drive you insane isn't the mechanics but how mind numbing reruns are trying to get the weapon you want
You spend 3/4 hours getting oneshot by random cancer that's offscreen just to get a fcking staff. then you see the guide and he's cp 1777 and can just kill the boss in one go lmao.
All that sweating only to get the maul 😫
I’m kinda new to the game, been playing it for 2 months. And I’m probably using the build you’re using right now, but i don’t have the malestrom bow, I have a trash bow found around the map. And couple of days ago for the first time I tried this arena on veteran mode, I took me 5 hours to finish it because I didn’t had any idea about the mechanics, I struggled a lot on the 7th arena because I was enraging the boss, and after I died like 10 times I gave up and watched an UA-cam video and everything I was doing was wrong, after watching the video on UA-cam it took me 2 tries to kill the boss. And 8th arena was easy but the 9th arena I found crazy hard because again I had no idea about mechanics, I think I died like 30 times before I decided to look up a video on UA-cam, and after it took me 3 tries to kill the boss.
I’ve been told by my friends to learn the mechanics first but I tried it anyway, so yeah whoever wants to do it on vet mode, learn the mechanics.
Arena is not hard with the build he uses on this video, just the mechanics are important to know.
I’m cp 250 right now and I finished it. The build he uses is amazing. I got everything from his build but the bow he uses.
Edit- whoever wants an amazing character to play, try the one he uses, is amazing .
Does purge work on that poison?
If you mean the poison shrooms; You have to run to safe zone and its removed, no way to purge. It is possible to heal through it even on veteran every now and then. 9/10 times it will just kill you though.
I didn’t die once until the poison area, I’ve died like 30 times so far on it. My DPS is so low it take like 3 cycles for me to even be close.
Maybe your build doesn't have enough survivability? I only do 25k dps, but I have 28k health with food and 2700 health recovery w/ Strategic Reserve in the red tree (I slot werewolf ult for the 15% stam regen and just never cast it). Between replenishing my health with Reaving Blows in the blue tree and a damage shield ability, I cleared the entire thing on one life on vet on my very first run through Maelstrom ever. You probably don't need to be as chonk as I am, but a lot of the mechanics Lucky said were dangerous didn't seem very dangerous to me :p
And even only doing 25k, I still cleared poison right after the second shield.
How do you get the arena to reset after doing it?
I assume it's tracked by the quest. If you don't have the quest, either because you completed it or abandoned it, you'll start over from the beginning.
I never passed the normal poison area. I think i have all my characters stuck there
Cannot get past this stage for my no death run god sake it's pissing me off
damm man your dps sp hightttttttttt
Love the content but i came for the DOPE outfit
What is it? ❤
how much DPS is this Lucky?
You know I'm not sure but its the solo stamdk on my site. I don't parse my solo builds because you need defensive abilities you won't use while parsing :) probably hits 70 to 80k with the solo setup
Imagine that in wow... Rip hunter xd... The companions are so Op in ESO that they need to be counted as a player?
I always gotta take Lucky saying something like "this on normal with CP160 or more is easy" with salt truck of salt, because the starter gear on his builds includes dungeon sets :) I'm still in crafted sets and the weekly endeavor option is to complete 2 arenas. I will try but wow.
Been stuck on VMA for days. I'm not sure if it's the ps4 servers or controller, but I can blast through no problem and cannot even come close to beating last boss. Animations break down and weaving doesn't trigger when alog of shit starts going on. So, I give up. I cannot deal with this level of anger and frustration with a game that has well below average combat in the first place. The combat is not nearly well designed enough for soo many bullshit mechanics and damage being tossed at you. This trial has turned me from someone who loves ESO because of everything it offers outside its horrible combat, to someone who now despises ESO and have canceled my membership as well as Uninstalled. I will never open ESO again thanks to the final boss of VMA.
Im dealing with the same shit on final boss today and its legit making me wanna rage quit the game. ESO fever has gone down cause of this arena lol
Didn't explain where to go, how to access the first location so no point in me going further into the video
I just made it to round 5 and no one told me how long and tedious it is. It took me 40 minutes as a good solo stam necro to make it half way. BULL SHIT IT is only 45 minute vet run. Maybe if your playing the I win easy mode meta class its that fast and easy to do. It's not so hard I can't do it just VEEERRRY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGG and boring. I wasn't prepared with food enough so I had to quit and get better pots ect. When content is that slow and boring I need to psych my brain up for the grind.
I gave you thumb down because you didnt describe how to avoid champion of atrocity spit in stage 6 on last boss...
How is dying 50 times per new stage fun? Clearly one of many why the game is declining in players.
It's veteran mode for a reason.
Like he said the veteran rewards aren't much better.
The game blows. Period.
On console.
I'm so annoyed with the FUCKING LAG in Maelstrom arena, today again I died because of desync. I noticed on the ice arena how mobs stopped losing hp at ~20% and then instantly dying a few seconds later, checked my connection and it was completely fine.
I finished this run for the first time today after too many deaths in the poison arena. I came to UA-cam to learn that section better and you taught me something new about every single arena. I’m excited to go back knowing what I know now.
heck ya! good luck!
Same! That one was frustrating enough to make me look up why and realize I needed to hide in the shield. Everything else I figured out on my own but learned some stuff here. Thanks! I've followed your Stamina Blade guide and now I'm at CP280
Same! I had no idea what "one shot" me until I figured it out 😉
@@LuckyGhostESO what mundus your using and gear and thx for content bro!!!!
