thanks! it's so rare and nice these days to have a guide where the person actually talk to you like a normal human instead of either trying to be funny or showing off without actually explaining anything
Glad you liked it and hope it helped. Thanks for watching!
@@Altek2k so i spent 3 writs and gave up and ended up bought a carry. like i know how to do everything, and i know if i keep trying i'll get it in maybe 10 writs, but it felt kind of silly to just try proving you could do it when each one of these cost as much as a carry. i got to the last phase without dying thanks to your guide, but the beam and the memory game at the same time was too much for me. i guess i could've placed the degens closer to the center.
@@XiaosChannel It is a little overcomplex in that last phase. Those beams also screw a lot of people over. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this. I've been struggling with Maven for so long. your guide is so much more clear and straight to the point that I cleared it within 2 minutes. finally got that last voidstone
Congratulations! Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Got it on my first try in ssf with only 2 deaths! Thanks for your guide!
Gratz! Thanks for watching!
The other videos were like 15 mins long when they didn't need to be. Basically, step to the edge of the arena, then die on the final memory game because it's too long and you can't see the entire arena, then go back in and get your voidstone.
Lovely. Thank you!
Thanks for watching :)
@@Altek2k No sarcasm in that comment btw, do genuinely appreciate the guide, definitely helped me get my first clear smoothly. Thank you!
Wait, you can just die on the memory game and wait until marven done to go attack? I'm having a hard time during the memory game phase.
@@samietofu5925 if you leave the memory game mid way through it will restart when re-entering. If you die it will be over till the next one. I hate the last memory game. I always screw it up because there is too much going on.
Tried Maven for the first time today and got wrecked, however this guide has been extremely helpful. I did get to the final phase with Simon Says and failed to see the pattern. Hoping to smack the Maven down next time. Thank you!
glad it helped. I think I failed the First 3 times. Thanks for watching!
Excellent guide. Well explained in clear terms and language. It made this fight so much easier for me. Thanks for your time and efforts on this guide. Cheers.
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching. Cheers!
I hate that they have the mapping people stuck behind a ridiculous boss. I just want all t16 maps...
I had the same conversion in discord a few weeks back. So many people probably can't reach 4 voidstones. I bet the majority of people don't get more than 2. Thanks for watching!
@@Altek2k there is so much one can do end game, but to me, having access to all t16 maps isn't the best payout to fight something that takes so long to get to, and takes numerous tries to fully understand whats actually happening
I’m stuck on 2. Just got a lucky drop and made a LS raider and gonna try this fight today. Hopefully it goes better
@@haikukillyou1971 Good luck!
@@Altek2kthat's exactly my problem and makes me kind of hate the game. I reroll usually and that journey to t16 is actual fun and doable, but this boss is not fun at all. Immune 75% of the time and with ridiculous op damage over time abilities.
Thanks for the guide, I'm about to try Maven for the first time. This will really help.
Best of luck!
There's nothing dangerous about the Maven. It's the arena that's dangerous. GGG really thought about all the best bullshit they could come up with. I absolutely dread this battle and can't wait to get this over with so I can unlock my voidstone and never have to fight Maven ever again.
Yep, I hate the memory game, gets me every time! I am the same, get the voide stone and ignore till next league. Thanks for watching!
i think its just crazy how say if this was a solo game. you would absolutely never figure how to defeat her... they really need to add a mechanic that tells you how you died or atleast to what damage you died from
This has been a long time request that the Devs say is very hard to implement, but totally agree the game should tell you what killed you. Right now you have to search wiki's to find the damage type or go for full coverage.
This build allowed me to kill both uber elder and maven for the very first time, thanks ziz, awesome build
I think you may have commented on the wrong video. Thanks for watching!
took me 3 writs to finally get it down, but I got it. Thanks for the guide!
Gratz! thanks for watching.
i finally beat maven with this. short, simple guide that covers everything you need to know.
Glad it helped and Gratz! Thanks for watching.
This helped achieve my first Maven kill. Thank you.
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the slow downs!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Bounced over here after watching your impale guide from a year ago….had to blink twice when I saw you’re under 10k subs! You’re excellent dude, you’ve got the cadence, clarity, and editing skills to blow up, just a matter of time! One sub at a time, including mine 🎉🎉🎉
Wow. Thanks for the very kind words and the support. Much appreciated!
While I am a little late thanks to this guide I was able to get Maven down with 1 death! Thanks for the guide and hopefully next league I can do the last memory game without dying lol
1 death is very respectable. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
first Time trying killing the Maven got to the final phase but killed by the floortoo many times , now that i kknow the actual mechanic to it ill try tomorrow again, ive been playing the game for a month now its been a blast
Getting to maven in the first month is impessive. Best of luck exile!
Thank you so much. Just killed maven for my first time. It took me 4 leagues to get here.
Gratz! Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Just got her for first time ever (poison SRS build). Died twice 2 memory game in final phase, cheers for the tips!
Gratz. I hate the memory game, too much going on. Thanks for watching!
thanks I defeated her finally using this guide!
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
that final phase is pure cancer😢
Yep. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the guide, I easily cleared all obstacles until the last memory game. I panicked quite a lot and couldn't memorize the guessing game and died twice. On the third portal, I decided to brute force it and killed Maven. 3 deaths overall, would not do it again.
What I hate the most is the slowing puddle was always on the way.
Yes it;s not a nicew fight. I have run it about 8 times this leagues trying to get the multistrike gem and that last memory game is really hard. Thanks for watching!
I used the same approach :D Only on the second approach i killed her, but also not playing brain game but just executing brute force. But I did it!
@@Reniie_ the brain game isn't hard for the first 2. the last is just plain unfair due to all the obstacles that slows you down, drains your hp and debuffs you with no life recovery.
If you use ES instead or have "movement cannot be below base" I could see this being more feasible.
Do you not get the voidstone if you haven't killed uber elder?
One drops from deafeating maven too and they should be indepenedant.
Will have my first go at her later tonight with my SSF TR PF. Can't wait. I really hope I can manage to get my stone myself!
Hope you got her. Thanks for watching!
@@Altek2k I did and it dropped an awaken void manipulation, i was so hype! Thank you for the guide, can't wait to try her again:-)
The memory game is what screws me over every time. I'm terrible at stuff like that, and if the fight takes too long you need to deal with that and all the other crap she's throwing at you. And there's no strategy other than "stand on the first triangle that blinks and try to remember the rest". I finally killed her for the first time back in 3.22. My strat since then is very simple, only fight her when I get my build to do a shit ton of damage so I can guarantee a kill even if I lose 5 portals.
Yes it's the memory game that wrecks me most of the time too. I hate that it's part for the fight. Glad you got her, thanks for watching!
I needed this before I used almost all my portals earlier in the league 🤣
He he, I left it wait too late this league been too busy running the mechanic. I do hate the fight with passion. Way to much going on... How did the league go for you?
btw what do you do if you fail and need to get more crescent splinters? is there any good way to farm them back?
Crescents only drop from maven 10 way bosses and above such as guardians etc. the harder the fight the more are likely to drop so alch the special maps. If you are in trade league you could also farm literally anything else and buy them using the currency trader. Hope this helps!
@@Altek2k yeah I just ended up buying the entire mavens writ for a div each from Faustus. I did eventually win once I got the mechanics down but it took me 10 tries. The cost for entry after you fail the first time is just kind of stupid. A div a try for a new player isn’t a low cost.
No it's not. But gratz on the kill!
"...we have to be mindful of."
I see what you did there. ;)
I do try to add a little humor in the scripting. Very few people catch it. Thanks for watching!
nononono I'm out :P that voidstone wasnt so important
That's what I think most league. Hate this boss.
Reupload this 5-7 days into next league for full power :)
I do often contemplate whether or not I should release when ready or hold for league start... There is huge diffenece in interest at the begining of a new league. Thanks for watching!
@@Altek2k yesh i myself i gone from full league play everyday to play first month then burn out. Played for years. I still watch alot of poe videos when I stop playing. But for sure relese this again as a 3.21 guide
very good guide!
Glad you think so. Thanks for watching!
clean vid short and to the point
Hope it helped. Thanks for watching!
The orbs which create the ground effect seem to stop randomly wherever they like making this fight almost purely RNG.
I hate this fight with a passion and some leagues don't bother running it. I hate fights where most of it is dealing with the arena. Thanks for watching and sharing!
how do you complete the last phase? is it time gated? i was just running in circles and ended up missing portals cause i kept failing the memory game. no clue how it was suipposed to finish
In the last phase you just have to kill her.
Godness me I always have suck trouble with mave so this was real helpfull :)
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this it helped me a lot. 👌
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
thanks for guide man! got my first maven kill just now. brain game in last phase killed me 3 times before i thought "last portal, f*** it i kill this bitch now :D we killed each other then :D got no loot, but got voidstone from kirac. count that as a win ;)
Glad it helped - I do hate that fight... Thanks for watching!
log out doesnt work anymore? It starts memory game over and over (even if you die instead of logging out) therefore making it impossible to complete
I think that changed last league. If you let it kill you it will not start again immediataly on re-entry.
PERFECT GUIDE! 💯
Glad you think so, thanks for watching!
First try i failed at the second brain. The beams kept hitting me even tho i was nowhere near them and the first time it summoned kitava, the s cond time it summoned that one boss that jas a tracking degen beam...
The bosses she spawns cand be so problematic.,
As a newbie my brain melted watching this. XD I will never be able to do this.
Once you get used tro the game, it get's easier. But i failed it about 3 times, when I first tried it.
I've just tried to down her with 2 opens, well I've failed. Figures she is a bit more painful to defeat when you are melee.
I'm actually glad that PoE2 will have WASD movement because hot diggity damn, I'm not goo avoiding the beams with point&click.
This fight is nasty and yes, it's a lot harder with a melle build. My lacerate build can do it with one death. Always the lsat memory game :(
I always, always lose this fight. I can't beat her.
I've found her to be very hard for melee builds because of the arena. You also need a strong character just so you don't take forever to kill her. Best of luck in the future and thanks for watching!
@@Altek2k I'm not melee.. I'm fp totem build.. but only 2k hps... I die a lot.
How do you get your character to look like that with the cool glowing gear? Are they just rare unique items?
I think it's just phasing. Thanks for watching!
why maven back to full hp after i fu with memory game?
I've Neve experienced that and I've failed the memory game so many times... sorry I wasn't of more help. Thanks for watching!
Hold on... if you win the match game, it still explodes anyway?
No it only explodes if you fail the memory game. I mispoke.
@@Altek2kNo worries, I understand more now. The circle still explodes if you win the memory game, it just explodes in place where it was ; it doesn't grow out and explode the entire arena. No worries!!
I love playing hardcore and im scared to try this.. did it on my sc with couple deaths but on hc is something else :/
I have never done it without dying at least once. If you try it, best of luck!
If Anyone is wondering, this fight is not the same as "The Mavens Crucible" which you get from Tier6 maps :) thank god
Yes, those are way easier. Thanks for watching!
What a clusterfuck of a fight.
You're not wrong. Thanks for watching!
@@Altek2k I have this fight left and I'm not looking forward to it. I am slayer cyclone relying on leech mostly. I don't think i can get it in 6 portals lul might just give up on the 4th voidstone. Thanks for the guide anyway.
I failed the fight
It is a really hard fight, there is so much going on. Thanks for watching and better luck next time!
@@Altek2k maybe I missed from your video, but during spawning boss stage I thought you need kill spawned unique bosses I forgot about big brain in the middle. Also I didn’t know you have grace period after entering the map
There's just way too much on the screen in this fight. Act bosses, 3 different kinds of balls coming from everywhere, floor degens and beams that one shot you coming from off screen. Without a balls out DPS summoner build I'm not sure I'll be able to get it.
I have failed this fight so many times with characters that have to stand still to cast, being able to move around freely and focus on the arena is so important on this fight and in the Sirius fight. I tend to roll specific toons to kill these bosses and minions and brands are my top picks. That's if I can be bothered because I do hate the fight and the last watchstone isn't that essential unless you really enjoy a T1 - 4 map. I hate the fight the arena boss design in both of these fights. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
i think ive elected to just not get this voidstone :)
purely because the memory game exists
Yes, I wish it didn't. I need to find a build that can tank the blast... Thanks for watching!
@Altek2k it's designed to kill the majority of builds. Idk what damage type it is but could be mixed. Maybe a hyper damage conversion build since how the reduction works it exponentially reduces the damage taken. Would probably be pretty expensive. Hell maybe even divine flesh or whatever the one is with ele as chaos. I forget the exact name.
Main issue is fitting damage into all of that tankyness xD
Honestly this boss is the only fight I don't even attend to and I did feared solo twice....the memory game is stupid and unforgivable , the lasers and degen pools are just pure bullshit , makes me wanna puke , today I died in gauntlet in act 4 at Malachai to maven's lasers cuz why not....I would have prefered to hear "The fury of the thousand suns" in Prison Break , but whatever...
Yes it is a pretty horrible fight. Drop the last memory game and I would bo ok with it.
woah impossible to take this in all at once for the first time :S
edit: all stages were quite manageable except the last one it is just so hard to dodge whilst killing him
This fight does have a lot going on, probably more than most. Thanks for watching!
@@Altek2k just bought a 40 div bow that brought my damage up from 216 tooltip Lightning arrow to 301 maybe that will fix it but i doubt it if iam too stupid for the mechanics yet :D
@@93Beefcake Best of luck!
Just ignore everything, DPS, die. Repeat til done. It's a stupidly unfun fight, trying to do mechanics will end up just making it harder.
If you have the damage yes, a lot of the time, my characters don't have that... Thanks for watching!
@@Altek2k I'm kinda curious around what damage number feels right for just going ham. I tried doing it mechanically, failed horribly, and just went full aggro and was fine. Think according to Path of Building I was at around 8.5m dps on a build with around 180k ehp? I'm moderately new to PoE (played in 2015, then not again til last season, and didn't even try Maven last season.)
I haven't tried yet but doesn't look too difficult. This seems allot easier than killing zuk in runescape
Once you have had enough practice. It’s not too bad. It’s one of those fights that throws a lot at you at once and so until you know it it’s quite difficult. Thanks for watching!
@@Altek2k beat him. 5th try
@@ALEXFVHS Nice!
@@Altek2k I started playing PoE about 5-6 weeks ago and I really appreciate older players making guides. This video was very good and straight to the point.
I always play games on hardest difficulty and I have no problems with hard fights. However, I'm not doing another 100 maps just to get another attempt at her. One attempt was enough for me lol.
My DPS was more than enough, the issue was I couldn't differentiate between the projectiles and my map was literally full of DOT ice puddles. I got her to the first brain phase by literally spamming potions while sitting in puddles and doing damage (my build has very good flask regen). But then it was too hard to move around to avoid the beams and position myself close to the rotating rings platform to avoid the AOE one shot, while also fighting the summoned bosses.
PoE has a huge problem, they gatekeep bosses behind endless amount for RNG map farming. I want to fight bosses, not farm maps. If the Maven was playable after 10 maps or so, then I would try again. But as things stand, I think I'm moving on to other games.
Sorry for the rant lol, keep up the good work
@@Gennosuke1983 I ,think you can buy the maven cresents using the trade site if you don't want to farm her again, But yes totally agree it's a pain. Glad my videos helped and Thanks for watching!
And yet people enjoy this game. The fights and monsters in this game are so over the top that it's not enjoyable at all. Smh
I find most of the bosses fairly easy once I have a decent character. This is definately not one of the easy ones and I like to avoid it.
Just failed this the brain game is stupid insta die sucks
I do wish they would rework this boss or at least move the watch stone from it.
The boss just sucks
It's way to complicated and stressful to be fun. Thanks for watching!
this fight was invented by brainless people!
They left their brains in the arena... Thanks for watching!
this looks HAF
Best of luck. Thanks for watching!
This fight is shit...
I dopn't disagree. The only fight I only ever do once per league...
the video quality of this upload is horrendeous
Could you be more specific?
as a new player i hate this fight tried it in ssf never again i hate how annoying it is to farm boss inviters in this game.
It is a really annoing fight. From experience only minion builds make light work of it. Thanks for watching!
I thought about trying this fight... But then I saw the shit memory game part of it. And I'm not even wanting to try. I hate memory games. WTF is that doing in an ARPG?
I have no clue. I’m rubbish at it. Thanks for watching!
Ben on an alt, wp, thx for guide
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
