General Elena has made me quit this game

[Shinerunner]

I'm done, server is empty so I have to solo, and on 8th try or so had her health bar empty but I still cant feed on her, she rises on a pillar where I cant attack her, then kills me again. Too much frustration for me solo here.

You can upgrade to a reinforced and it lets you harvest copper. I hope this was sarcastic because all you need to do is look in the workbench, the one that is a quest to build. Like legit, simple work bench is a main quest and it lets you make it.

Oi brainiac how about crafting a reinforced bone weapon at a work bench to harvest copper ?! if you are stuck on this 'puzzle' then dear lord your going to get demolished once you start encountering the v bloods.

Elena's main test is if you understand how enemy aim-lock works. Most enemies aim at where the projectile would hit you if you continued moving in the same way you are currently moving. In other words, if you change direction when they fire, the projectiles will miss by a lot.

Bottom line is, you can strafe left/right alternating in a rhythm and Elena will miss all her crossbow shots. If you're really confident you can even sneak in a spell or something while strafing.

As for her ice pillar phase, the ice shockwave attack is a split 3 pattern, so you can hide between the legs. The ice pillar itself is easily dispatched with any attack that deals many hits in one area as it is unmoving, such as longbow E or reaper E.

Defeat the bosses that roam the roads by pivoting around a rock, mountain or house, it works for everyone including Elena.

If any boss makes you mad enough to quit the game entirely, then it's alright, V Rising was never meant for you in the first place :)

Some of the bosses can be quite infuriating though. Imagine going against for the first time against Valencia or Dracula without any idea of their ability to suck your blood away. That can be cause for an other rage quit for this guy here.

Beat Valvencia on Brutal and didn't know she drained blood until you said this.
Have played the game blind. Spent most of vacation week playing.

Intelligence level: Typical console player.

I just fought her for the first time and came here to get tips. She literally had like 15 other mobs with her, including some huge beast thing that kept dashing into me for 120 damage. I'm guessing that isn't normal since you guys are talking about just kiting her.

I came back after a year. Set it to brutal and can't beat the white wolf. Nerf the entire game plz. (True story though).

I kill her all the time while out in Mortium doing rifts, randomly run into her, kill her, keep goin.

I actually can't even remember who she is... I thought maybe they'd be complaining about Adam or something, lol.

They shouldn't be there you must have back pedaled into a roaming patrol as far as i recall this boss summons nothing but an iron maiden in the center of the 'arena' .

You're talking about Valencia.

They're talking about Elena. Different bosses.

Any boss that has adds with them at the start of the fight can be made easier by just killing the adds and then resetting the fight. When you fight Elena, she should be by herself, because you've already killed her adds and then ran away to heal if needed (even if it takes you a couple times).

Nah, it's General Elena, The Hollow. I just beat her on my second attempt. She roams around on a road with a bunch of devilkin, dracula dudes with battle axes, and 500 different patrols that keep joining the fight. Very annoying fight that you have to keep running off when another patrol shows up. Having to clear the entire forest to fight a boss is in line with the rest of the game, just an exercise in tedium.

Enjoying the game for the most part but this a 10 hour game stretched out to 100 because the devs wanted to make it as much of an annoying grind as possible.
