For anyone confused, Stange is using the T2 blood dash, some jewels, and passives you get later in the game during these fights. Not a big deal for the balance of the fights, or your ability to kill them. But the random free blood orbs are coming from a blood passive that gives a chance to get a blood orb when a leeched enemy dies.
@@mateuszparus The principles and strategies all remain the same, its more just that he effectively has a little more HP and the bosses have a little less. Strange also did go out of his way to ensure he wasn't using spells or weapons he wouldn't have access to if you were just climbing the V blood ladder. There's also a building that lets you re-choose your spells for free, so if you only had 1 Tier 1 necro spell, you could go home and swap from shield to corrupted skull or something like that.
On Brutal, Alpha wolve is still pretty easy. It only triggers jump attack if you are a certain distance away and its hitbox is in the front of its head, so you can avoid it easily by walking toward it when you see it jump. 100% chance you will walk past underneath this jump attack.
You can kill the sea monster with the long bow, just kite around using the bone explosion spell and shoot it when it stops slamming. The long bow also made an easy fight out of Quincy.
Lydia absolutely surprised me with how much dmg her abilities do! Thankfully they added a voiceline to the sky-shot, something along "Let's take a chance", then you'll know it's incoming. Takes away about half of your hp if you are in basic T1 copper set. One Chaos arrow take about third of your hp (the burning). Also worth mentioning, that the brutal version shoots 5 chaos arrows, compared to the 3 in normal and goes into invisible mode more frequently. Skeletons make most boss fights a lot easier, considering their attention is divided and they will waste abilities on them. Sadly you can't have both skeletons and the skeleton shield at this point, since you only killed 1 unholy V Blood in T1 (Goreswine) as Nicolaus gives an ulti instead. I highly recommend staying on ranged with longbow/crossbow and let the skeletons do the melee work when alive, simplifies a lot of fights since you can just avoid most crap. Bit slower maybe but a lot easier.
Friend and I worked through till the weird chick in the library from act 2 (IIRC) and toned back down to normal..so much easier and less rewarding, but after like a dozen attempts we ran out of strong blood types and at 2am and about 11 hours into our 12 hour session we decided to call it quits and get rid of her, because without her perk of the study room we couldn´t progress further. Awesome game, loved the brutality, but needed a bit of a break there XD
"Once you break the door down, all you have to do is go up to Quincy and beat him. He's probably one of the easiest bosses in the game" Me: Bruh what? I can't stand content creat- *Quincy montage starts* Me: lmao ok. I guess I'll sub for some more v rising content Thanks for the info on the bosses, just let it play in the background at work. Quincy is the only boss I've been having trouble with. I completely forgot about Nichlaus though, gonna go get that ultimate real quick when I get home
@@SoBadStrange So this reply was from 23h ago, i've been updating your video list several times during the day and still don't see it. :) Did you accidently set it as unlisted? or did some minor problems occur along the way? well i am like 65% done with act2 now,, guess by the time your video is up i'll be finished with that act2 so no use for me :)
I absolutely loved watching your solo content last year on this. Do you have any recommendations for weapons or spell choices going solo? Im struggling against the duos and trios.
Oh god solo against duos and trios is impossible haha. This game is not balanced for 1vX the time to kill is too long. Theyll just kite and counter and stun but I love Discharge with Reaper and Wraith Spear atm.
Hopefully my new guide can help you beat Vincent fam, I got lucky and one took it but very very narrowly ahha. ua-cam.com/video/tfVeW8KFBlc/v-deo.html&lc=Ugwfdg1GvaI5yVOkzT94AaABAg
This is awesome. It's like Vampire the Masquerade Bloodhunt but as a moba and you can craft stuff. Hopefully this game has a full cross play and not the PS5 can only team up PS5 and PC with PC. I needed another Vampire PVP game.
Also stay closer to White wolf, his frontal cone isn't that large and you can dodge him easier by side stepping. rather than staying a distance. I'll often los most of the them as thats often a best defence "not be there"
its passive - chance to summon skelle warrior after bite, cant be turned off sadly, also 19 spell points avaible because of reset, TLDR its maxed out vampire just nerfed to proper gear to showcase fight
@@damianneeley5121 you can default dash back by respeccing and it does matter because those dashes are a third ability with their own effects and can have gems slotted. Defeats the purpose of the vid.
How do you have the jewel tier 3 and the veil of blood teleport on Nibbles the Rat? That early game I haven't obtained a blood tier 2 spell point yet you already have it?
@@Katastrophi yeah i'm wondering about how he could tank so many hits, but is the aoe the extra move they add on Brutal ? Also did he also dodge with the dash for a few of them ?
i started yesterday then server wiped again to change into brutal difficulty having fun with pve also pvp is funnier cos theres more freedom to someones skillset
@@SoBadStrange Non game I played forced to do it yet but I think I need to completely move away from wasd and rebind all keys. Im left handed, usually I just rebind some skills.

So it's not a guide for a first fight, right? Since the technique used requires spells not available during first fight

Thank you for this and for putting time book marks for each boss.

Can't wait to see level 85 Alpha wolf spawn at the rifts!
I think the dash cooldown increase is the most difficult thing to deal with with the brutal bosses
100% rogue just for dash cooldown feels mandatory 🙌
im just watching this until introduction, i dont want to spoil my run
will see it again later, ty for being this game content creator

Yeah, I'm updating the game. I'm going to give it another spin. I hope to see some pvp gameplay on here in the future
PvP day 1 wipe hype coming up tomorrow and ill stay updated on it, im on a great server with 126 player cap!
@SoBadStrange nice man, I'll definitely be looking forward to it
this game is a legit 9/10 game
they could've named the difficulty Vampire Souls no cap
Ok, I'm convinced, trying brutal mode now, thx for the video!

Ahhahahaa I appreciate you! I used to speedrun all act I in like twenty minutes now I speedrun into a shallow grave against these brutal
anti heroes 😂
These videos are a godsend ty
Just found your channel, very nice guide.
Sadly the moment i found it i have already cleared all act1 bosses, so eagerly waiting for your act2 video.
That drops today give me just a few hours 🫡
@@SoBadStrange So this reply was from 23h ago, i've been updating your video list several times during the day and still don't see it. :)

Looking foward to the Act II videos. Can't get past level 47 (Maja/Leandra) with the new 70% damage buff on boss attacks.
I will do all the Act II bosses today on stream 🙌
@@SoBadStrange Please, can you do a UA-cam video about act2? It will be really helpful for many people. Thank you
I am playing on normal but would love to progress to brutal. thanks for the guide, you made these fights look easy - especially Quincey
Great video! can't wait for the next one, I'm really struggling with Tristan the Vampire Hunter
You got this! Act II bosses releases today 🍻
great guide, much needed, thanks!
So happy to see you back in Vardoran. I'll definitely be tuning into your streams going forward. WE GO AGAYNE!!!!!!

as if brutal wasnt difficult enough bro out here doing it during the day LOL great work
Thanks Lings! See you in Vardoran fam =)
Loving brutal difficulty...had to bump it down to normal just for Vincent tough...him being my wall to prisoner cells was driving me insane.
Hopefully my new guide can help you beat Vincent fam, I got lucky and one took it but very very narrowly ahha. ua-cam.com/video/tfVeW8KFBlc/v-deo.html&lc=Ugwfdg1GvaI5yVOkzT94AaABAg
Quincy and that skeleton priest was the hardest for me.
I still don't get the timing right with my sneezing at Clive the Firestarter, whats the best Moment to sneeze?
I looks like grayson's brutal modifier is he summons deadeyes instead of the puny crossbow guys
Ah thank you, maybe his moves go off a bit quicker as well like his spin?
This is awesome. It's like Vampire the Masquerade Bloodhunt but as a moba and you can craft stuff. Hopefully this game has a full cross play and not the PS5 can only team up PS5 and PC with PC. I needed another Vampire PVP game.
You’ll love this one HB! It’s so consumable at your own pace I’m hoping for crossover as well 🥳
Back to where it all started.
Use a spear for White Wolf, The spear does you good for all tier one boses
Also stay closer to White wolf, his frontal cone isn't that large and you can dodge him easier by side stepping. rather than staying a distance. I'll often los most of the them as thats often a best defence "not be there"
bless you
idk what patch you playing on, or what hidden settings tour server has, but my polara fight spawns butterflies every 10-15 seconds...
wait, wait, wait, is brutal in this game like expert mode in terraria?
basically do the bosses get extra moves!?!?
Indeed fam. God I love Terraria, this makes the game have a ton of replay ability 🥰
How did you summon the skelleton at 1:58? wait 18 spell points available wtf is going on?
its passive - chance to summon skelle warrior after bite, cant be turned off sadly, also 19 spell points avaible because of reset, TLDR its maxed out vampire just nerfed to proper gear to showcase fight
Noticed you have the blood dash instead of the default dash when fighting most of these bosses. Cant get any dashes until act 2.
He went back from act 2 and I don’t think you can get the first dash back but honestly it doesn’t really matter
@@damianneeley5121 you can default dash back by respeccing and it does matter because those dashes are a third ability with their own effects and can have gems slotted. Defeats the purpose of the vid.
@@TragicDestrucTt it’s a minor mistake and don’t help that much and who cares just watch the vid it’s not like he had a special
How do you have the jewel tier 3 and the veil of blood teleport on Nibbles the Rat? That early game I haven't obtained a blood tier 2 spell point yet you already have it?
He progressed past that point and came back to make the video.
He's in creative...
Nibbles hits at least 2x as hard as shown in the video when you are gear level 40+, I don't think he did that one on Brutal.
@@Katastrophi yeah i'm wondering about how he could tank so many hits, but is the aoe the extra move they add on Brutal ? Also did he also dodge with the dash for a few of them ?
i started yesterday then server wiped again to change into brutal difficulty having fun with pve also pvp is funnier cos theres more freedom to someones skillset
Just wondering how you are healing when you kill an enemy??? Or is that limited to only boss summoned enemies?
Alpha was ridiculously hard, new player on PS5. Learning the controls, slower controls and no game knowledge and then get hit with this straight away.
Aha I’d like to finish the bossing guide specifically knowing a bunch of PS5 players will be struggling this week 😂
22:01 Bless you
Can someone explain how he has 2 poison skills on this fight? I'm 45 and I don't even have 2 poison skills.
how you have 2 green magics in finn?
best way to kill alpha wolf is have the chaos archer kill it for you.
Keely is now the easiest boss in the game in my opinion
Also I can’t imagine ever playing this again on non brutal
Same, it was an amazing change especially for returning players 🥰
We are def not on the same difficulty. This bastard is unkillable at 41.
22:00
Sulfur intolarence
Just quitted this garbage game. I use pure melee, 2x counter and this f.ucking fisher and bear are impossible.
Lol they are both beatable without getting hit at all but if youre not having fun try normal difficulty
@@SoBadStrange Non game I played forced to do it yet but I think I need to completely move away from wasd and rebind all keys. Im left handed, usually I just rebind some skills.
out dated, otherwise would probably be a good boss guide
