Editor Arthose Posted August 24, 2022 Editor Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Raid Boss Names: Valakas Raid Boss Level: 85 Spawn Location: Forge of Gods Minions: None Minion Level: N/A Required Quest: Into the Flames Required Quest Item: Vacualite Floating Stone (Can buy with FA from Dimensional merchant) Starting NPC Name: Klein Starting NPC Location: Forge of Gods Guide: Suggested Classes: Tank, 2 Bishops, Melee do much better than mages, especially for surviving. Suggested Level: 85+ all noble Max Clients per IP: 10 Suggested Gear: S-84, Weapons with 300 attribute, Armor 120 attribute. Everything +10 or higher. Suggested Route to Bosses: Port from Goddard to Forge of the Gods (Regular port) follow the below map. Register and/or login to see this content. Before you enter there are a couple of thing that can make your life easier. The first will actually make it easier next time you kill Valakas. When you get to Klein take the quest called Jewel of Valakas. After you kill Valakas return to Klein and he will give you an item called Jewel of Valakas which allows you to instantly teleport to Klein in the future. The item is NOT tradeable so everyone in your party/clan should get it. Register and/or login to see this content. The 2nd item, and probably the most important is the below totem. You get it from the "How Lavasauruses Are Made" Quest. There are other totems you can get from the quest but ONLY one totem can be active at the same time. The other totems are WORTHLESS in comparison to this one. Register and/or login to see this content. As far as buffs, If you didn't put fire resist on at least 3 of your items for, take a +++ Resist Fire buff. Once you get to Klein click on the 3rd option, I want to enter the hall of flames. Run up the curvy ramp. Register and/or login to see this content. Follow the below map. There are a couple of raid bosses along the way that will drop items you can use at Valakas. Scroll: Slay Valakas and Scroll: Protection of Valakas. Use protection on tanks and bishops, and Slay on damage dealers. Register and/or login to see this content. To enter you HAVE TO be part of a command channel to port in and start the raid. HIGHLY recommend bringing friends for this one. Even a low level bishop can do wonders by staying far away from the fight and rushing in to cast an Ally Mass Rez at a key moment when the bishops are dead. Register and/or login to see this content. Once in you have 10 minutes until Valakas spawns to prep, not much to do except run to your favorite corner that doesn't have lava and put down the first defense totem. Only reason for running to a corner is it keeps your chars close when they get feared. This is my go to spot: Register and/or login to see this content. Valakas spawns and then will come over to say hello. Valakas will test you and your bot settings. Auto Rezzing and accepting rez here is key along with re-casting noble buff. Fully expect to lose buffs at some point. It will happen. When it does, get the char away from the fight, rebuff, and send them back in. Keep an eye on your debuffs, especially fear. If you are using an SK for a tank cast Smart Cubic. Register and/or login to see this content. The worst thing that can happen is the bishop gets feared. That's why bringing a 2nd bishop is a good idea... Like this: Register and/or login to see this content. If you have it all, try for a SOS/Appetite of Destruction/Day of Doom combo for maximum damage. Register and/or login to see this content. Use SoS as often as you can trigger it. All chars should have BREZ in case things go really bad. Fully expect to lose multiple party members at the same time. Save your mass rez for when you REALLY need it. Make sure you also have plenty of death recovery scrolls. Register and/or login to see this content. Unlike Antharas, Valakas doesn't change throughout the raid so at least you have that going for you. That said, if you find a way to power through it, some of the best loot in the game is yours. Register and/or login to see this content. Reward: Top & Mid S84 Weapons, Top S84 (Elegia) Armor & Jewels as well As Mid (Vorpal) Armor including Vorpal Shoes. BEWS, BEAS, Forgotten scrolls, and of course, the Necklace of Valakas Register and/or login to see this content. Hope this helps! Register and/or login to see this content.
