V Rising Boss Guide: The Old Wanderer

[@khalivaughn2250]

It’s the damn lurkers, every single time….

[@klonvomhaus]

Thank you. I was going crazy with how to get to him without running into random monsters. Clearing a small area and pingponging in front of him did the trick.

[@FreiWraithborne]

Honestly an absolutely F-tier boss """""fight,""""" and attempting this took around 10 years off my lifespan. I beat him with sword + frost bat and barely managed to kill him when a mob killed me. Still counted or I would've toaster bath'd right then and there

[@Cadrieldur]

How annoying do you want this boss to be? YES.

[@taiidaniblues7792]

Thanks for the tips! Just beat him in 1.0. Killing the mobs around the area before fighting him helped immensely. Also, taking a spell/physical power brew/potion shortened the fight significantly.

Great video I gave this fight 2 tries and fled in both just for the lurkers bears and toads i encountered Also while tracking this annoying boss i stubled into another one, dont remember his name but i ran as fast as i could juat seeing him

[@SHEagleYT]

Thanks, I've tried about 5 or 6 times before, even with 100% blood and blood moon + potions. I've never used the spear before, but against this annoying boss, it's definitely really useful. With the spear I killed him with creature blood, without potions on first try.

[@GameFawx]

I never use the spear so I never knew it had a pull like that. Good to know. Thanks for the video.

[@hipangeo2883]

Best guide ever! Thanks! I did not know spear can PULL!

[@ladooshka]

I think merciless and ancient both can.

[@Shotesu]

odd, this fight was over after 2-3 tries with only one death outside boss combat while clearing wildlife. chief tools are the spear, and patience. use E to reel the creep in and nail him with q, and remember, q with the spear disrupts attacks. so hit him with it when he laughs and goes to smack you with his staff. just keep him more or less in sight, and don't panic if he runs into a massive crowd of enemies- break off and let him reset. true to his name, he wanders, and will always start running if he sees you, meaning you can shoo him into better place by simply approaching and then retreating, such as getting him to leave the lurker nest. also, I find it lowers stress a little to joke back to his lines- "shall we visit the witch?" "sure, why not. maybe she can give you a brain." and so on. this makes him seem slightly less irritating and helps with the patience method. last....clear path as you hone in on him. the more things you kill, the less the forest has to throw at you while pursuing.

If its not the damn Lurkers its the frogs. i'm on about try number 14 and I cant do it. litteraly stopped playing for about 4 months because i just couldnt progress past this guy. I get him to half, i run into something and while im dealing with that i lose the wanderer and he resets. every. time.

[@LadyBossLynn]

I have died so many times trying to fight this boss...LURKERS... they always kill me!!! I have yet to defeat him.

[@adrevenue726]

Right here with ya. this one V blood is keeping me from progressing

[@LadyBossLynn]

@@adrevenue726 If you find that cave in the middle that is where the Old Wanderer will show up.... to reset the map so you can see..enter the cave til the curse leaves and then re enter the cave to put you back in the cursed forest, clear out all the enemies right in that area where that cave it and it becomes so much easier to kill him. Hope this helps.

[@invictusnictus7725]

Not sure if you could then, but you can craft this from your character after killing him - can help you get out of the forest.

[@okkinromero1503]

Now theres also that fucking behemoth😢

[@catsi563]

Beat him and yep he was every bit as annoying as advertised but worth the fight in the end

[@paulocapelo4271]

Annoying boss...just aggros the whole forest...at least we could see and find Beatrice and fight the milita.

[@catsi563]

So hes not that difficult just annoying as all hell nice work Glenn 😺

[@lazybones69]

Defo the most annoying yet. I literally had him on his last legs, then he ran into a bunch of mobs and that very powerful V blood that patrols that area. First time in awhile I've rage quit. 😆

[@catsi563]

@@lazybones69 Yeah i can relate . i was going after christina thought id drug her far enough off the road to be safe and just as i had her almost done, 3 patrols and 2 v bloods got involved namely Jade and Bane whole mess turned into a cluster frackle

[@lazybones69]

@@catsi563 Gonna have to plough the roads first I suppose. 🤷‍♂

[@stephengrant4841]

Worst fight in the game so far, so poorly fucking designed.
