What can i do to overcome Vincent The Frostbringer?

[Fried Rice of Many Honor]

Currently seems impossible to avoid his charge bs. Is their a way to negate it or avoid it? I just cant seem to do it. I try to walk around rocks and trees to try to avoid but its just to fast. What are my options to take this bastard down?

He is super easy.. I like to engage him somewhere there is a big rock (one of the ones that can't be destroyed) I can kite him around just off the path he is walking then I place spells in his path and let him walk into them.. that's pretty much it.. line of sight cheese him. this works easy for any roaming boss.. just beat Tristan the same way both on brutal.

I'll give it a try i just need to get better at moving attack too. I'm on normal i play pc all the time but my dumbass still loses myself on where my fingers are. I'm not very coordinated on pc at times. I'll press tab or 1 instead of q at times or even press E when meaning to press w

I had to go more defensive, but it worked. Bring a barrier and counter spells. When he goes to triple charge, use your veil so he'll waste 2 swings on it. When he realizes he's been duped, use one of your other abilities to avoid his next charge. Everything else he does is pretty easy to avoid or predict.

I really do wish you could Melee slog it out with him, but EVERYTHING he does, even down to his regular attack, hurts.

You have done the 1st step to beat him very well. Try to fight him around a roch. Trees are also good but he will cut them down.
You will beat him pretty easily once you realize, the only thing you need is one defensive ability like Ward of the damned or blood rite or anything. He is telegraphing his coming charge with a kind of blink.

I loved using Ward of damned because it is summoning skeletons to pull agro. Also you can use corrupted skulls for the same reason. Once agro is off of you, just smash him.

Only thing you need to be cautious about is his frost shield which will freeze you for a very long time allowing him to hit you.

Also this is very good. To just kite him into a an AOE speell or attack. I think i used Reaper skyte for this with the whirlwind blade ability of it. But you will get it from the Undead General located in the iron mines. And i was lucky enough to kill him while it was fighting an other boss archer and he was already on quarter of his life. :D

You can build a small castle and clear out a small section near his Patrol Route. He has a pretty big Tether Range so you can build walls and Doors or you can just lure him to a death trap and have servants geared up to help you.

Hah that's a lot of effort for such a buss but I freaking love the creativity there. :D

In Brutal he is very very difficult. So what I did is a bit cheesy but worked. I follow Bane and when they are close (took a bit of time but happened eventually) I provoke Bane and leave the sector. He killed Vince very easily.

This can be a LONG wait, but god is it so effective. Bane handles him in like 10 seconds, usually. Easy peasy.

For starters, on what difficulty? On normal - find a big rock and kyte around it, diluting with skeletons summon and crossbow aoe.

I figured I'm gonna get servants anyway for missions so I can get mats and afk grave and pest farming. Thing is servants in brutal mode when partied with nuns and clerics and any other npcs can destroy roaming bosses. Thanks to relocation castles I can just let minions do my work for me. They don't really do anything else for me in a solo world so why not do this.

I know that "iT wOuLD MAke tHe GaMe TOo eASy" but I really wish that the Minions could come with you in some capacity. Like, if I go through the effort to really kit out a follower, it better do more than just bring in some loot every 18 hours.

I got extremely lucky here with Jade. when she was whooping me so hard I attacked a nearby cloaked NPC hoping for that 1 in a million chance it would be Bane. and yes this was on brutal difficulty.
