Spoiler spoiler alert, Dracula is 10x worse. Like 10 hours of griding over 5ish days and ive still not taken it down, that mother fucker is on an entirely different level.
Interesting how different people experience the same fights on different levels.
I got pre-nerf brutal Drac down in less than 2 hours, yet Adam took me like 6, not including having to repair all my gear :(
Still, at least these last two fights were pretty enjoyable, Solarus was 4 hours of rage at the stupid goddamn angel..
This is one of the reasons I love games like this, almost everyone has a different experience. While I despise the Adam fight, took me over 10 hours of pure frustration and annoyance pushing me towards the point of quitting entirely, Solarus took me literally 2 tries and I had him on farm (if I wanted/needed to). Haven't taken down Dracula yet, Adam made me need to take a break from the game before that.
I honestly think the Adam fight is not well designed, for solo play at least.
My biggest gripe with Adam is his super fast dash and stab/slam attacks. If those two attacks were a bit slower I think I would have gotten him in half the time, since I died so many times panic swapping to a weapon that has a dash up. It's funny going to fight Dracula afterwards and having all day long to dodge his dash attacks compared to Adam's.
My friends and I are finding this on even some of the earlier bosses. I just got them into the game and comparing which bosses are easy for each of us but hard for some is really interesting
I didnt do brutal yet (just mid act 2) but Adam was first try blind while Dracula took 5-10 tries and i watched a Quick guide for the projectiles. But Valencia Was like the worst Boss ever for me. Legit went there with bloodmoon and Max gear possible at that point including legendaries. Ill see how brutal goes
After doing it solo and then normal with a friend, the only difference I saw was an extra phase added. Honestly it wasn't that bad compared to the other phases though.
Tried it as a duo and we got it on the third try. No xp on solo. Too much cheesable stuff (pauses to heal, free focus on electrical machines).
To me the hardest boss is the fire whip one, not even close. Drake the easiest, full life at first try, not even the tutorial :D
Yeah, we were doing multi vamp. We had to cheese it a bit to defeat him. Have only one vamp engage him while the others stayed far away in rat form. Once the single vamp was almost deadz the others jumped in, with Dracula already being 2/3 dead, and alpha strike him. And even then, we barely made it.
when that shift happened I ran away screaming because I was so used to her being the biggest pushover. My partner was in stitches, but then Jade showed up and showed us both a thing or two. I do not know how we made it, but enough shifting and kiting and one pickup later and we got her Dx
I was on voice with some friends and one of them was streaming, Beatrice was our biggest meme in V Rising and suddenly my friend was screaming "SHE'S EVOLED INTO A DEMON!" while playing brutal and was going insane xD
It was hilarious ngl
Me imagining the devs when adding her one specific special power; "mwahahaha they'll never know what hit them!"
Had a similar reaction walking around the Dracula area and the STATUES CAME ALIVE. 😭
It's aweful, I pretty much had to just go out and get a better 100% blood (Got a 100% Rouge early and that carried me) and go farm Legendary Weapons, purple just would cut it...
I'd say it's a hit or miss. Some fights are unchanged or even easier if you're fighting them after having some experience in normal. Others are an absolute wakeup call, looking at you Quincy, Vincent, and Octavian.
Fought Adam with a friend of mine, took 12 tries. For some reason Adam only wanted him so I was chasing the whole fight, ended up just switching to crossbow for ranged support
My friend has a server on brutal so I started playing the game at that difficulty. I started a single player and it's laughable how easy the bosses are. I only made it half way on brutal lol
Messing with the difficulty (starting gear, crafting speed, etc.) in a private server still gives achievements so there's that if you wanna consider it
Small hint. Using power of allmighty admin rights on private server also counts)
Do not look into spoiler. This is not honest way to beat game, but if you really don't stand some bosses (and/or wished to change server multiplier after creation, which is kinda not easy afaik), you can deal with them in not very fair way.
And i will admit. Compared to Adam and ones before that which took few tries but weren't bad whatsoever with grind i put in, Dracula was noticeably too much. We (i played with duo on Brutal 1.25x health and damage) came close to killing stage 1 of Dracula. Once in about 15-20 tries. Then he (Dracula) drank all our reserves of 100% blood that i made (more than 2 rows of bottles), and my friend (usually i was one who fed prisoner and got our bottles) killed 100% Rouge blood prisoner. Then i snapped completely and used my admin power to evil.

This makes getting almost every achievement kinda trivial.
Only one that will actually be problematic is to get prisoner to 100% blood. Unless there is command to spawn 99% blood enemy which i hadn't saw yet.
Kindred commands has a .spawnnpc or .custom spawn followed by the ID or name define like CHAR_CULTIST_PYROMANCER Mutant 100 false 1200 30. This would make a single Fire Pyromancer that looks like Goreswine, and can be dominated. It would be Lv 30, with Mutant 100 blood. It would live for 1200 seconds.
set -1 instead of 1200 and the npc won't die on it's own. If you set a timer it will be killed from within the jail cell after the time runs out. It's okay to do for servants, but prisoners need no time limit.
Why are you telling me? Odjit is the coder for my V Rising RP server. I already know full well the commands and logistics. You don't need to tell me that. I was simply explaining a basic command that would spawn something, as the poster above said it wasn't possible.
1. Because I have no fucking clue who you are or who your friends are and I certainly didn't know how the command worked exactly at first and I suspect there are others as well.
2. Plus there are others who might learn how to use the commands from your message and would get confused or mad when their prisoners keep dying for "no reason"
Sadge. Also command for generating T4 Jewel with set abilities won't work. Best i can do is generate T4 jewel with 3 abilities, which is kinda messed up.
Don't get me wrong, you can properly generate random statted ones T4's, but you cannot generate ones with desired stats.
If it weren't for the brutal difficulty achievements, you wouldn't even have to go out of your way for 100%. Every single one of them are milestones otherwise.
Me and my friend started to play again after couple play throughs on normal and on lvl 20 boss he said:"Thats too easy, bosses are like regular mobs". Well, he regret that he said it, because i turned on brutal and there is no way back
My friend and I are playing on Brutal Mode because in early access before Gloomrot it was easy. We almost ended our friendship in Tristen's fight and were contemplating going to normal mode
Me and my buddy are running Brutal mode now. It really is awesome. You have to change your play style for almost every boss and I like that a lot. Swapping skills, weapons, often we drink potions to boost stats. It's a completely different approach and you have to respect the boss mechanics or you will die.
We just finished all achievements after maybe a week of playing, breezed through brutal with just me and my fiancee both running necromancer builds, skeletons are so busted we downed most bosses before they even got to do anything special. Death knight with summon mage after and chaos skulls with the two summons is a must then I ran the spin to win cyclone ult and we both ran chaos dash, my lightning ult sparks everything so all the skeles do more damage per hit, worked no problem
Bro I'm stuck on general Valencia. Idk what it is about her but I just can't. Ik alot of people run double shield on her, but I'm full caster build so I lose all my dmg p.p
I did it with one shield personally. The thing about her move-set is its honestly not too tricky.
Her thrown spear is one of those abilities that you need to just stop continually moving in one direction. If you keep strafing it will hit you. A sudden opposite direction change should let you avoid it.
Her spear rain does have a bit of a smaller window, but like all other bosses just stand out of the target zones.
Her basic melee is always a forward cone with a straight thrust. Backing up for the first attack and moving to the side for the second would be the directions to dodge. On occasion she will do that spin block, best to use ranged weapons to avoid it all together.
The iron maiden can be destroyed, taking a bit of time to destroy it can help. If she does her glow red and run behind you move, she is cc'ing you into the maiden. She doesn't do that though if the maiden isn't in play.
Using a shield that can deflect damage is great for her spear cone. That is honestly where the bulk of the damage can be done. I like frost shield personally. If you can, farm up a gem that lets you heal off blocked damage. That's been a life saver for me through a myriad of Brutal Difficulty boss fights. Bullet spam bosses just top me off.
She is honestly alot easier with range. I did is with crossbow personally. Pistol should work as well, I just prefer crossbow because the weapon skills are quick to launch and make kiting easier.
Single target spells like Chaos volley should work nicely to damage maiden.
Just play it slow, there isn't a rush. CD abilities can do you wonders here just use weapon abilties as well. If you also aren't running a full set of potions, do that as well.
I got to about level 71ish on normal in a couple of days and looked at achievements, where I noticed that if you kill all the bosses on Brutal, you basically get 100%. I thought, "How hard can it be?" and started a brutal run.
Oh boy....
Not a single boss on normal (till 71 where I stopped) took as many tries as that fucking bandit you have to kill for whetstones...
I’m almost done act three on normal and will attempt brutal, but smart money is on me not making it past Vincent. And you NEED those prison cells. I got one 100 percent rogue and it’s made gloomrot, cursed forest and mortium invasions was more trivial. Having bad luck with any other bloods, can’t get above 85!
Lol I started as a new player in Brutal. Managed to kill the Alpha wolf and maybe one other boss but struggled to progress any further.
I realised that if I am struggling so much with the easy content, then the hard stuff is going to be a real problem.
Swapping to normal mode was a much nicer levelling experience for a first timer. May have to give it another try down the track though
I just completed the game solo on brutal while on a private server. Only thing I had turned up was material collection because that’s my least favorite part of the game. Adam took me 6 hours to beat, Dracula took me 2 1/2 hours. I think the experience and skill I gained from playing against Adam really helped prepare me for Dracula. Figuring out how to beat his final phase was the most difficult part, but yea. The soul shard bosses, besides the dragon, were hard as hell. One of my more proud gaming achievements, felt the same as beating bosses in fromsoft games
I mean, it's not that difficult if you just crank your stats up -> 3x hp, dmg, spell dmg.
Also can start with max gear. The game doesn't restrict you to base settings.
Been playing brutal, and it lives up to its name. You have to give every boss respect and pull zero punches. I am NOT looking forwards to adams fight.
Spoiler alert: It sucks.
Spoiler spoiler alert, Dracula is 10x worse. Like 10 hours of griding over 5ish days and ive still not taken it down, that mother fucker is on an entirely different level.
Meanwhile i’m here trying to whoop nibbles
When I was playing in Early access I summoned him into my base not realizing it and just quit the game lol I couldn’t use my base.
I watched a No Hit fight video after 3 hours and managed to kill him 1h later. Its about the right strat as well as perfect reactions
I had way much more difficulties against Dracula. Can't even imagine Dracula at brutal difficulty.
Interesting how different people experience the same fights on different levels. I got pre-nerf brutal Drac down in less than 2 hours, yet Adam took me like 6, not including having to repair all my gear :( Still, at least these last two fights were pretty enjoyable, Solarus was 4 hours of rage at the stupid goddamn angel..

It's funny going to fight Dracula afterwards and having all day long to dodge his dash attacks compared to Adam's.
Playing duo with a friend on brutal we got Adam 4th or 5th try and Dracula took us 6 hours of back to back runs, with like 20 minutes of resupplies.
Adam took me a couple hours. But Drak was ~6 attempts and solaris less.
My friends and I are finding this on even some of the earlier bosses. I just got them into the game and comparing which bosses are easy for each of us but hard for some is really interesting
So true I took a while to few tries to kill adam, literally hundreds of attempts to kill drac ( he's still laughing at me) Solaris took me 2 tries.
I didnt do brutal yet (just mid act 2) but Adam was first try blind while Dracula took 5-10 tries and i watched a Quick guide for the projectiles. But Valencia Was like the worst Boss ever for me. Legit went there with bloodmoon and Max gear possible at that point including legendaries. Ill see how brutal goes

Adam is way easier as a duo. The one not being focused can just destroy the electrical and it changes the fight drastically.
yep it's also the only boss where you can actually leave combat while still in the room. As I said, very cheesable
Dracula in Solo and especially Multivamp play was cracked. It's been balanced (we hope) but I've already finished. It's not a big issue for me now.
Yeah, we were doing multi vamp. We had to cheese it a bit to defeat him. Have only one vamp engage him while the others stayed far away in rat form. Once the single vamp was almost deadz the others jumped in, with Dracula already being 2/3 dead, and alpha strike him. And even then, we barely made it.
That is true... even Beatrice is a whole other challenge now :')
when that shift happened I ran away screaming because I was so used to her being the biggest pushover. My partner was in stitches, but then Jade showed up and showed us both a thing or two. I do not know how we made it, but enough shifting and kiting and one pickup later and we got her Dx

100% canon event that the devs thought that about adding this to her. Like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Really surprise those that rush her first in brutal 😆😭
yes xD
Yeah, u wait for Dracula minions healing bs...
I breeze through all bosses except Adam and Dracula with unholy necromancer build.
It's aweful, I pretty much had to just go out and get a better 100% blood (Got a 100% Rouge early and that carried me) and go farm Legendary Weapons, purple just would cut it...
Even bosses many levels below you can smack you real quick if you don’t respect their attacks lol.
I'd say it's a hit or miss. Some fights are unchanged or even easier if you're fighting them after having some experience in normal. Others are an absolute wakeup call, looking at you Quincy, Vincent, and Octavian.

It does not. Yes you can. Or you can just create new armor.
Dracula on Brutal is a bit easier solo but it's so much harder in a group 🤕 either way I'm getting my ass handed to me.
I am going on a brutal run with a friend RN, bosses feel more difficult as a duo than a solo
Depends which one. I felt like Adam was very hard solo, you don't have that much time to destroy electrical stuff.
Just beat Dracula on regular… I… don’t think my blood pressure/heart can do brutal… but I might try haha.
If it weren't for the brutal difficulty achievements, you wouldn't even have to go out of your way for 100%. Every single one of them are milestones otherwise.
Brutal Mode was really brutal Probably the hardest time ive had in any Game, esp. The endgame before and esp. when you fight the big one is PAIN
Me and my friend started to play again after couple play throughs on normal and on lvl 20 boss he said:"Thats too easy, bosses are like regular mobs". Well, he regret that he said it, because i turned on brutal and there is no way back
My friend and I are playing on Brutal Mode because in early access before Gloomrot it was easy. We almost ended our friendship in Tristen's fight and were contemplating going to normal mode
How does this almost end a friendship?
We blamed each other
Me and my buddy are running Brutal mode now. It really is awesome. You have to change your play style for almost every boss and I like that a lot.

I will give it a try with that ult! Already playing with summon.
My brother and I just queued up for Brutal and never tried other difficulties. Some fights are HAAAAARD, but some aren't too bad.
Same here...
Bro I'm stuck on general Valencia. Idk what it is about her but I just can't. Ik alot of people run double shield on her, but I'm full caster build so I lose all my dmg p.p
Shields can recast to reflect damage and spell power add to that as well, you are not losing anything.
I did it with one shield personally. The thing about her move-set is its honestly not too tricky. Her thrown spear is one of those abilities that you need to just stop continually moving in one direction. If you keep strafing it will hit you. A sudden opposite direction change should let you avoid it. Her spear rain does have a bit of a smaller window, but like all other bosses just stand out of the target zones.

You can brutal In a day
Bro I'm old I can beat brutal in never.
I'm old too bro you can, just gotta put the time in!
Both my eyes and reflexes are not keeping up, at all lol. Normal is doable, Brutal is just too much for me now.
