ABOUT
I created the Vaniverse Gaming Channel in 2014 because I was having trouble figuring out how to do something in Elder Scrolls Online. I decided to make my first How to Guide on Lockpicking, and really enjoyed the experience.
The goal of my channel to create honest, informative, and hopefully entertaining videos on PC video games. My main focus is to create content that helps new players decide to purchase a game or figure out how to do something in a game that may be hard to understand.

While it makes the videos longer, showing how to actually get to the dungeon is a huge help.Too many videos start with "We're going to show you how to do Super Spooky Dungeon of Doom today! Let's get started. Here we are inside the entrance..."

[@VaniverseGaming]

So i am not sure i understand. Did I do a good job of showing you how to get to the dungeon or did a fail....Cheers!

24:08 Most anti-climactic Boss fight I have ever seen. I guess even villains get scared to death or have strokes. LOL

[@VaniverseGaming]

Haha yeah. I was pretty disappointed. I think it is just another Funcom bug. Cheers!

[@Trollseatkittens]

yeah i was like...wave after wave and...ohh more waves...and then ..."fuck this shit im out...not gonna fight that guy....dead" :D

[@tailsprowerfan2729]

tell me about it

[@hasturyourlord]

Thanks man, used a few of your guides to solo dungeons. Great content.

[@VaniverseGaming]

I am glad they are still helpful so many years later! Cheers!

[@legendaryh9845]

Dude was so old he just flopped over. Also thank you so much would’ve never be able to get though this without you. Got my like and sub :)

[@VaniverseGaming]

Appreciate the comments. You are probably right. Cheers!

[@dayzghosts4794]

Btw the dungeon is called the black keep Its where u get the the kingscourge weaponz and armor

[@ezeakiodarmey9448]

Just did it last night and the guy just keels over like in the video. Its possible the force field was keeping him alive lore wise.

[@VaniverseGaming]

Yeah, perhaps you are right. Whats weird is I had to fight him a couple times. Cheers!

[@KillzoneAvenger]

Great video though! I've seen all the dungeon guides and they've helped quite a bit

[@VaniverseGaming]

Thank you. I am actually working on updating them. Cheers!

[@michaeldodge9020]

Best way to break star metal meteors! (that i’ve figured out so far) Make some poison arrows (1 gas orb for 5 arrows) and some exploding arrows (1 dragon fire for 10 arrows) and just use 1 of each arrow on the meteor! So far this has broken every meteor I’ve tried it on! (about 4 so far)

[@harrysimpson5082]

Michael Dodge I can’t find any meteors what platform u play on?

[@VaniverseGaming]

They have changes this since I made this video. You only need 1 demon fire now. I throw a grease orb first to make sure I do not miss with the fire orb lol. Cheers!

[@VaniverseGaming]

The best way to farm meteors is to put a map room up near the landing location. It is in front of the Temple of Frost. Then have a map room at your base. Make sure you build your base close to another map room. Then every morning teleport up up look for meteors, then map room from there back. Cheers!

[@fifthhorseman1632]

Michael Dodge or just use one demonfire orb... aloy cheaper and easier...

[@yojimbe1]

The pathing for thralls in that tower is an absolute nightmare. I got to the top and decided to take the easy way down by scaling to the bottom from the outside. I expected the thralls to just appear behind me like usual as I got to the ground. Instead, they ran down the entire tower and dragged about 15 enemies to me. I lost two level 20 thralls and a level 20 mount and I also died.

[@VaniverseGaming]

That sucks so bad. Hate when that happens. I feel I have lost more thrall in the volcano than anywhere else over the past 5 years. Cheers!

[@Dale1615]

Hi, Tellith's sorrow has 66 dmg & 15% armour pen dragonbone 2h sword 63 dmg & 22% armour pen (this is eazy to craft in bulk and repair as it's non legendary and only needs dragonbone to repair, downside it has a low durabbility so youll be carrying a few bones to repair along the way :) Flawless star metal greatsword 60 dmg & 21% armour pen. Apart from that. all armour is double edged. So Plus heat resistance also means minus cold resistance. U dont need silent legion. a T4 armourer is also fine! the epic version of most gear gives +4 resistance to heat or cold. a flawless epic armourpiece gives +6 resistance. (same as silent legion) Silent legion and hyena armour are 1 of the few armours that alrdy have +6 resistance per piece without having the need for the flawless version. That being said you can enter the vulcano without a hitch by wearing the basic flawless epic medium or heavy armour.

[@VaniverseGaming]

Thank you for this in depth post. Cheers!

[@bryandyke2037]

Alchemical base can also be harvested off bearer thralls for big payoffs. They have sometimes crazy amounts.

[@VaniverseGaming]

Good point. You get lucky sometimes and get 500 a pop. Cheers!

[@oflow100]

do you have a video with the actual boss fight or does he just fall over dead everytime?

[@VaniverseGaming]

No I do not. I am not sure if they fixed this bug or not. Cheers!

[@Wow30035]

oflow100 you can hit him once and he dies. For me anyway he’s super weak

[@ianv.1470]

Man, I find it pretty interesting they included lore from a Weird Tales short story by Howard. Whoever made this game loves their job.

[@VaniverseGaming]

All the lore was from Joel who used to be on stream when the game first launched. He is a huge Conan Nerd. Cheers!

[@bryandyke2037]

Not enough IMO...mostly the story is junk.

[@JDKempton]

Those some damn fast reflexes missing that lava.

[@VaniverseGaming]

Haha, yeah that was a close one. It was more instinct at that point lol. Think the hands just did it on their own lol. Cheers!

You didnt show on the map where the entrance is.

[@loonygoons4672]

Playing this for few weeks now and atm lvl 40-ish.. ive raided some boxes in a base that started decaying and i got that sword teliths sorrow 2times lol It's such a gamechanger omfg! Kills everything so fast wich makes farming mobs so smooth and easy. Think i'm too low lvl to repair it though as its almost broke now :(

[@VaniverseGaming]

Yeah you got lucky my friend! yeah, you wont be able to repair it until 60 :( Cheers!

[@loonygoons4672]

ahh damn still 10 lvls to go for me then..thnx for the response and good luck with your channel man, your vids are really helpfull for a new player as myself. Still not sure what to think of the game as its so frikkin buggy atm but at least with your tips i was able to build something and not lose everything everytime i die xD

[@VaniverseGaming]

Hey Loony. I love the game. It has progressed so much over the last 2 years. However, I do not agree with Funcom's approach to the game, and what they add, fix, or change. This the best survival game out there in my opinion, but they just keep ruining the game with every patch and DLC they make. The Developers and Forums people are good, but as a company Funcom has always been a bunch of cash grab cows. Cheers!

[@loonygoons4672]

Heya, Yes i fell in love with the game first time i wandered into the world..I love the brutal nature of survival games and i dont mind farming..but if i farm stuff that is rare or relatively hard to get i dont want to lose it due to some bugs. I dont mind that they add cosmetic dlc for money as long as its not gonna be pay to win and its pure cosmetic.. What i do mind is that they prioritize adding those dlc's over fixing their game. I was really lucky in the world...i was lvl 35 when i came across a abandoned base wich started decaying..blew up some boxes got best gear and weps and a ton of usefull stuff etc..lost half of it because i died everytime i used elevator and other bugs wich made me unable to loot my corpse.. I'm still playing because i still have loads of stuff..if i wasn't that lucky do and had to farm all that stuff myself and i would have lost it because of a broken game i would have probably quit. wich is a shame because this game is really beautiful and has so much potential. They dont have to fix all in once but as a bare minimum at least show us they care you know.. I'm on official and it's like the wild west in here.. no customer support or anything no game masters nothing.. Whats your experience with Rend? i play wow for over a decade and i love their customer support lol and from what i understand some of the wow devs also worked on rend so im curious how Rend is compared conan in terms of best survival game. Thnx again for the response, cheers!

[@hazardtoxin6792]

Bad ass video ..helped alot... can thralls come with you or will they die?

[@VaniverseGaming]

They can come with you. Human thralls will last longer than pet thralls because you can heal the human thralls. Check out my latest video, I updated this guide with a thrall. Cheers!

[@kurojima]

KIN not KINGscourge

You are very welcome. I hope it was helpful. Cheers!

[@salamifinger9510]

Did they fix the thing that diminishs the Weather effects? I still get alot of dmg from Frostbite/Heartstroke

[@VaniverseGaming]

I am not sure what needed to be fixed. I have always taken a lot of damage from frostbite and heatstroke. I am sorry, I do not know the answer to your questions. Cheers!

[@KillzoneAvenger]

The perk just diminishes the weather effects, as the perk describes. It does not completely negate the effects, just makes them less harsh

[@damianlamure6922]

Yeah he did lol... It's the gigantic blue glowing well that he jumped into after getting the serpent man recipes

[@no-new-friends7881]

@Jay probably helps if you watch the video

[@Zetiqs]

1:30 Did you say telith’s sorrow was best 2-Handed in the game? I’m currently rocking a 82 damage 2-handed sword, got it from a raid, I believe it’s just from legendary chests

[@DragonsRageRage]

Sword of the adventurer?

[@Zetiqs]

Yep 😊

[@VaniverseGaming]

Telith Sorrow is the best "non-Legendary" sword/ best craftable weapon. Legendaries were not included in that reference. Cheers!

[@KillzoneAvenger]

Really sucks that they nerfed the third vitality perk. It doesn't even heal through extreme cold anymore

[@VaniverseGaming]

I believe it is a glitch. They are working on fixing it back to the way it was soon. Cheers!

[@captainbear6188]

"snakes, why did it have to be snakes?"

[@VaniverseGaming]

OMG I hate snakes in this game. I agree with Dr. Jones! Cheers!

[@desperate4dopamine]

My thrall and horse just glitched out loading into the Well.

[@VaniverseGaming]

Not surprising. The volcano and the midnight grove are the bane of my existence. However with sorcery, things so much better since you can summon corpses back at least. Cheers!

Blade of the adventurer if You happen to loot it is better. 75 dmg without any mods.

[@dalelesoway2962]

How do you get silver ore I found it beside the city of The Relic Hunters but I can't break it open is it an updated you have to do to get the silver can you please help me cuz this game is really frustrating I just need some tips and stuff I've been watching your videos but

[@VaniverseGaming]

Dale, All you should need is a pick to harvest it. Sometimes there is a bug with nodes and you need to restart the game. But nothing special needed besides a pick. Cheers!

[@loonygoons4672]

I would skip silver ores and go farm the sunken ships in jungle for silver coins/bars gold coins/bars . bars give the most dust anyways and it goes way faster than looking for nodes with ores imo

[@fifthhorseman1632]

Dale Lesoway around rhino ridge near sep has it kinda looks like a square er iron node or just grind up silver coins from NPCs,I farm unnamed city alot and all the chests behind the bosses have coins in them or gold silver bars so easy to stock up for base

Cannibals in the south always have a ton. Animal heads in the fluid press give it too. Might be able to hatchet the skeletons for bone, if memory serves. :D

[@loonygoons4672]

they're like random drops if (pick)axe animal corpses. But me personally think its better to farm thralls and chests in camps. get a ton of bones from that. same with glass and steel bars i just farm those highland or highmountan thrall camps

[@alphaone321]

Loony Goons thank you!

[@nicklasberg5146]

Two handed sword and a shield

[@KillzoneAvenger]

One gas orb and one demon-fire orb combined will bust the casing on the star metal nodes.

[@diegoveladizchavez401]

Just one?

[@VaniverseGaming]

Since this video was made they changed Star metal. It only takes one Demon Fire orb to destroy the casing now. However, throwing Tar or Gas first gives you a better chance of hitting it. Also, some meteors are bugged. If they do not break when you hit it with a demon fire orb, then move on, as that one is glitched and will not break. Cheers!

[@KillzoneAvenger]

@@VaniverseGaming oh dang, really? They change so much xD

[@damianlamure6922]

I prefer to make 10 explosive arrows. 1 arrow per shell

[@KillzoneAvenger]

@@damianlamure6922 that's one way to do it, but I get gas and demon fire orbs for free. Never had to craft a single one. Apparently you only need one demon-fire orb now, so it appears to be the cheapest way

[@bozo3964]

Just FYI, he his supposed to fall off dead idk why. But me and my friend did him and he is very easy and he fell off his throne dead, idk why

[@VaniverseGaming]

Yeah, I think the Purple ghost things are the boss. Once you defeat them he dies. Cheers!

[@FEARSWTOR]

I'm pretty sure the idea is the purple "ghosts" are bits of his life force that he is sending to attack you. You're effectively damaging him each time you kill one. When you've killed them all you've depleted him of all his life so he just falls dead. The ghosts are the encounter, he is basically part of the background stage.

[@Mr1stlevel]

Did they nerf regen ?

[@VaniverseGaming]

It is a bug. They are aware of it, and I hope it gets fixed with the next patch. Cheers!

[@meghj3329]

Lol 25 mins in an here comes the boss here he comes and oops he just fell over dead :o

[@wowlevip5583]

idk why but the boss didn't spwaned at all

[@VaniverseGaming]

Sometimes the dungeons are broken. If you are on a server with other players, it could be that someone already killed him. Also, if people build in the volcano sometimes it causes issues with dungeon boss spawns. Welcome to Conan Exiles. Cheers!

Went through killed everything NO GATE KEEPER couldn’t get in the door. Update sucks

[@Kaziklu]

Star metal should hurt those things more. The fact they never did that is so silly. Star metal is only really in the Cartoon and it is nasty against them. meh.

[@VaniverseGaming]

Yeah good point. Maybe some day we will get to different weapons and weapon types doing different damage to certain creatures. Technically in the show it banished them which is just like killing them in the game, but I think it only took one hit to do so in the cartoon. Cheers!

[@Kaziklu]

@@VaniverseGaming it also revealed them. They just added random bosses if they had the ability for those boss to turn into serpent men when you brandish a star metal weapon that would be really cool.

Aaaand final boss never spawned. WHY IS THIS GAME STILL SO UNINTUITIVE AFTER LITERAL YEARS!? WHYBARE DEVS ALLOWED TO JUST NOT CARE!?

[@VaniverseGaming]

I have been around this game since Beta and used to speak to the developers. Based on my knowledge and understanding, Funcom was on the brink of closing down at the time of Conan Exiles release. There was a huge rush to get the game out ASAP. Since they used a framework that was buggy, they cannot go back now and fix it. It would be like trying to redo the foundation of a house with out taking down the house. Dune Awakening is going to be their new flagship game and fix a lot of the bugs that will never be resolved in Conan Exiles. Cheers!
