Voltatia is too strong.
Before you "get good nerds come in" I have attempted this boss using various different methods and skills.
Just seems no matter what I do it's useless.. Once she split's and calls more adds there is just way to much going on... I try focusing the add's but I cannot for the life of me watch every single add using an attack... It's insane and I've died upwards of 30 times in a row.. My gear is 77 so i am of the right level.. Just feels way to hard and I feel like quitting..

30 times eh? maybe at that point you should take the L and watch some youtube vids on how to defeat the guy.

and hey, no shame. I used to think Tristan was a hard boss, and I once died to him at level 70. I still have no real way of melee-to-melee him and had to rely on cheap shots most of the time.
I honestly found Voltatia easier than some of the other bosses - but I definietly do see how that one can be overwhelming in terms of things going on - just as tentacle said: watch a few youtube vids, maybe there´s something helpful there that you missed out on

Way too many people are either too lazy or have been banned on Youtube.

We need a video equivalent of "Let me google that for you" website.

I actually went to Youtube after the 5 death... This guy has the reactions of a god, and insane situational awareness.. Us old git's who still love games have no flipping hope...

He obviously has good reaction times, but what he's not showing you is the dozens or hundreds of times he failed and had to start over. It's like those trick shot videos where they pull off some amazing basketball shot that seems impossible. What they don't show you is the hours of trying over and over before they finally got lucky. So yeah, there's hope!

People love to post these videos as an example of how it can be done without realizing there are multitudes of people playing this game and this has nothing to do with the average gamer. Might as well link the 4 hour speed-run to max gear-score someone did.. like cool post some more irrelevant ♥♥♥♥. We can't ALL be this good at games as this guy. Please stop using these as reference points.

I'm 52 and I've managed to defeat every boss but the shard bearers and Solarus and that's on a server where I have around 300 ping, so reaction time really isn't as important as it might seem. Read my reply to DaLagga, it explains in basic terms how bosses in V Rising become mostly easy when you've practiced a bunch.

It's a little more than luck in this case though (I understand you're referring to the Dude Perfect style stunts here, but for clarity's sake I'll reiterate). V Rising bosses are predictable and knowing what weapons and skills work well for avoiding attacks and doing consistent damage is the key. You're right that Crimson Silhouette does multiple runs before getting that final recording, but he's learning the bosses move sets and telegraphs and what abilities and weapons are the most effective against them. I wouldn't be surprised if he can consistently defeat bosses 10 levels lower and frailed once he figures out a the attack patterns and what build works best against them.

Have you tried using the protection bubble with the condemn projectiles?
Also, don't bother until you have full bloodmoon for the speed bonus, or get a speed bonus to out run his beams

No, people absolutely MUST use these as reference points. Each of these show exactly WHEN to react and what the boss patterns are.

1)In this particular case, even if she goes invisible, once the gun starts glowing you either dash or press E on Slashers, that's 80% of the fight.

2)Once you see the "Shotgun" gun pattern glowing you press "C" to counter.

3)The video does no hit, low GS, 0 blood. You can do 100% blood, 80 GS and get hit.

The difference is like asking someone to run 100m under 10 seconds (which is reasonable for people competing for Olympic gold) and running 100s under 15 seconds, which is reasonable for anyone who's not disabled or sick.

Right you are. While there is a bit of luck involved in not taking a single hit, perhaps a better analogy would be something like playing an instrument. Watching someone play a violin for example seems amazing, but with practice, almost anyone can do it to a reasonable level of proficiency. He has clearly fought the boss many times, knows every single telegraph and has a build set up specifically to counter certain attacks. My point was simply that, with enough practice, most people could do it.

You are stressing because a lot is going on and that’s not needed. You can ignore the adds and be like glue on her ass. If you can melee her down pretty easy because the only thing she does is run and hide. You can kill her with the scythe pretty easy even if she shielded in that bubble.

I used Void & Sanguine coil. Storm ultimate Raging Tempest and the sanguine Scythe. Get some good crystals for void and sanguine coil, like extra charge and bounce. Also get your potion game up and get the +8 spell power & physical potions. Use Scholar Blood. Open up with 2-3 voids, and 2 sanguine coils. instantly use your ultimate, boss should be near half hp at this point. use wide arcing circles as you land your attacks on the bosses. i ignored the trash mobs just kept moving and dodging as needed in a wide pattern until the boss is dead. I did get caught in the laser a few times, swapped to Greatsword for extra dash once or twice. once i got it down the boss that was beating my ass wasn't even getting me under 75% hp.

Voltatia is indeed one of the harder bosses, but none of them are "too" strong imo. As with any difficult boss, it will take many attempts to develop the necessary muscle memory and predictive ability required to easily manage the fight. What seems like superhuman reflexes to you is actually just extensive practice and adaptive memory. You'd be surprised at how much you are actually subconsciously learning from each loss. Just keep at it and I'm sure you'll succeed, but also keep in mind that sometimes it's best to just take a break for a while so your nerves can calm down.

That being said, Voltatia is also easily cheese-able. All you have to do is hit the boss with everything you have, and run back out to the stairs after they've called in reinforcements. Wait a bit for the boss to start moving back towards the center of the platform (there is a small window in here before the boss resets), and then use all your abilities again. The mobs will disappear, and the encounter will restart from the beginning leaving a massive opening for damage once again. Rinse and repeat until dead.

I appreciate the positive feedback and tips. I'll try again tonight, i'm not ready to quit just yet.
