V Rising: How to Defeat The Bandit King! (Tips and Tricks)

[@thalleslopes817]

U can use the Bear form to break the doors

[@Gaston-08]

haven't tested this yet.. but if its true... i farmed so much sulfer...

[@qiuick9551]

Use bear skill

[@sjolson68]

@@Gaston-08 100% true. Just used it myself.

[@jonhg92]

you can also kite a bear/treant/stone golem to the gates. their attacks can deal damage to the gate

[@xiampiii]

Yup, that’s how I did it. However, I think the Bear is harder than the Firestarter dude

[@jonahxddd2932]

for anyone using bear form, you have to use your Q move to destroy the gate. If you use your basic melee attack, it'll say an explosive is required. PS -- you can also jump off the back off the platform with the boss to avoid going back through the whole camp again.

[@RodneyBray-p7p]

Regarding clearing the camp during the day, you can actually clear the camp and are willing to hang around doing mostly nothing, there are some small shacks just before the last stairs up to the Bandit King. So feel free to clear the camp during the night and hide in the shack during the coming day, then you'll have all night to try to take him down. Note that rat form will be very hard to sneak in as there are rather large groups covering fairly small pathways. It may be possible but I tried once and it didn't seem feasible as I was easily spotted. Getting the crossbow, and the merciless crossbow may be a good idea as keeping your distance from him would be smart. His ranged attack is slow and his charge is much easier to dodge if you're not trying to close combat him.

thanks for the guide. This guy was pain in the tuckus for me. If anyone else is having difficulty what I did to beat him was basically craft every single gear you can, that brought me to level 39 pre-iron. You have 3 things to avoid in this fight, his single charge, triple charge, and earthquake thingy. Earthquake is easy enough to dodge, just pay attention and avoid. The king himself is not that fast, you can just run away from his normal attacks. Keep shooting chaos arrows at him from a distance. If the shields up, move out of the way or your own arrows will come back at you. Just use blood dodge and keep shooting chaos arrows at him. I didn't even have to blood aegis that much. Also go completely ham on him after his triple charge when he kneels down to take a break.

[@belisarian6429]

If you extra struggling, I also suggest making small base next to him, for quick ressurections, you can also keep extra explosives there.

[@FREDERIKSX]

Dam he is so hard … I’m 38 and I’m struggling

[@Chris_handle]

Nice bro 😎! Thanks that was very helpful dude ! Keep up the awesome content 💯🤙!

[@Carlos-Garcia47]

His been kicking my ass non stop and everytime I try to research new merciless armor I just get structure stuff whole time

[@Rhyza13]

Ditto. I grind pages for an hour, just to get wallpaper and grass.

[@Carlos-Garcia47]

@@Rhyza13 sometimes I get super lucky and break some boxes and find merciless armor or weapons recipes

[@MrRykage]

Should have just farmed Rufus, he drops pieces of merciless Armor set books one at a time (drop rate is almost 100% i think)

[@Itshighc]

I finally have everything except my merciless boots on the server I play after 2 and a half days. Keep at it creatures of the night!

[@Carlos-Garcia47]

@@MrRykage dam the amount of times I killed him because I was bored and got absolutel nothing is crazy

[@VikingHammerX]

What a great game, the attacks look really satisfying

[@LeeroyGaming]

Does a bear form work? It’s slam attack can destroy the large obstacles/minerals

[@thalleslopes817]

Yes, it does

[@VeryJUICED]

Yup

[@Kratos510e]

This dude gave me trouble, but I guess I didn't realize how some skills are strong AF, changed my 1 skill to that chaos volly and that's it, fight became insanely easy

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

Feeling like I am at the point of giving up on this game as the grind is too much and the bosses are too strong which just makes the whole thing a frustrating experience for me personally. I don't want to have to face this same boss over and over and have to go through a long process every time to even get to them. These kinds of bosses are killing the fun for me and it is a shame as I really like other aspects of the game

[@Goliath-pp5ct]

practice makes perfect my friend

[@foreignuser_]

Why don't you play on an official public server? It's a lot of fun and other players are chatting and grouping up to help with bosses all day long. It's also a lot of fun to watch your neighbor's castle grow over time. Really cool public interactions can happen. I accidentally left my door open last night and my neighbor was suddenly in my house. We hadn't met before so he checked out my castle and then we ran over to his place. Afterword, he returned to my castle, knocked on the door, and I went to open it to find him there with a guildmate, dropping off some building supplies for me as they saw me expanding my castle.

[@fuzzykitty4271]

Thank you so much!! Great tips!

[@jessepeterson5129]

helpful, thanks

[@Ch17638]

Thanks just could not fight this boss before watching this video. Afterwards I knocked him with more than 50% health to spare

[@foreignuser_]

thanks for the help! btw it's not a "one-shot" if you are already low on health from other shots lol. a one-shot means your health bar was drained from full in one shot

[@phoneixfmg]

I tried but on last minute im getting killed strange this it shows me on v blood matched but 4 gear level lower but no idea where to get lvl 12 gear

[@sharja4459]

I beat him ok but it didn't give me the Smithy, any reason why?

[@blacklce87]

another method is to kill the bear boss which is super easy and then go bear mode on the gate

[@Foxbat320]

You can access the bandit king using bear transformation .

[@QuantumFluxor]

He damn too hard for me. And it is no way to pump my characters without beating him. Vicious circle. Seems it is the game over...

[@zanenoth9963]

He's not fucking easy at all. I'm well over his level and ca not progress rhis stupidnpiece of shit game because of this stupid fucking boss

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

Yeah it gets frustrating, almost at the point of giving up and quitting the game entirely

[@scotth9212]

If you play with more people does the bandit kind stats change?

[@edogb22]

All the bosses scale for more players, but you can use more than two skills, so there's pros and cons.

[@JC_isme89]

I’m struggling hard with this and I’m at his level. Does anyone know if the explosives can work on the boss too?

[@Vulkan_Gaming]

Explosives will work on the boss as well. Keep your distance and strafe most of his attacks. Make sure you give yourself enough night to fight in. If you don't have chaos volley, I highly recommend getting that from Lydia because it helps a ton too

[@fr4gl3]

Careful with this one because if you die 2-3 times you will no longer enter without explosives again. Better do the bear first...

[@boss_of_da_dead4189]

Bear form???? Don’t need mats or explosives

[@ramizsoroush2769]

bear form gets you thru that door go get him first

[@blueblood1096]

PvP Server: Barovia - I monitor and keep the hackers away and banned. Banned 4 so far. Official servers aren't enough to stop them.

[@richardscott9758]

Can you clear all content solo?

[@Vulkan_Gaming]

Yep!

[@ItDoesNotMatterWhoIAm]

The lack of any other progression dynamics in the sense of attributes or true skill system is going to be the games downfall.

[@25xxfrostxx]

The progression in the game is unfortunately linear.

[@Vulkan_Gaming]

Agreed

[@mattdrifts]

nah it wont, but they might add it anyway its beta

[@Supayone]

This is a survival game they are built this way. On top of the fact there is the progression through Vbloods and gear.

[@QuantumFluxor]

@@Supayone many survival games don't require high skill to play. If enemy is too powerful then you can always pump up your level or gear, or at least build tons of potions. In this case you can't do anything higher than merciless copper, as he is key for iron weapons... I can't beat him without higher weapons and I can't have higher weapons without beating him... (((

[@jakkrit6910]

i try to kill vboss one by one but i found out that it's not that smart. bear is much harder compare to bandit king imo

[@Ehal256]

Yeah, bear was tough. The trick is to keep your distance, pepper him with crossbow bolts, and lob the double chaos spell at him. It's more important to dodge his attacks than get a hit in.
