investigation vaal hazak

[oatmealBowser]

i am trying to grind out for armor, and i need to fight this dude a lot.

however it hasn't popped up on my investigations so i can farm him much easier. am i missing something? i've played the quests at least 4 times if not more. i even cut off his tail, and tried to break every part. the game even suggusts while i'm fighting him that an investigation has been added, unless its for something else i accidentally killed.

where do i go steam?

Just keep farming the quest for him. As your research rank on him goes up for each kill, the investigations start dropping more often on him.

I was in the same boat as I ground out armor and his fangs are a pain to get. Protip for getting fangs though, is use a bow or bowgun and break his head. Its easiest to do that with those weapons. (I actually got his gem more often then his fangs oddly enough from quest completion. O.o;;)

Easiest way to get investigations is to pick up tracks and such.

When an investigation is added, it is a random investigation of that threat level. You can get Nergigante investigations from Vaal Hazaak.

Pick up all the tracks. Give him time to just wander around and pick up all the old tracks.

If you are lucky you will also end up with at least one investigation to fight vaal, from your investigations to fight vaal, before they run out.

Gun Lance is also a good time for fangs. So far as the fact I have as many fangs as I do tails in my inventory.

RNG is always the real enemy though. Fangs and horns may be the meme loot. But it always feels far more silly to sever the tail from a monster and come out of the quest with zero tail parts.

"I see you cut off and carved their tail literally four times in a row, good job!... What, actual pieces of tail? Where would you get those?"

4 times only....
Come back when you beat him over 10 times and have not gotten any investigation.

Investigations are RANDOM.
Just wait till you get to end game with temper monsters.
50 min following kirin for 1 investigation if you are unlucky and 3 investigation if you are lucky.

Not as funny as when you DON'T sever the tail and come out with 2-3 tail parts.

i prefer doing the rocksteady/HR100 quest if i run out of tempered ED invests (or if the ones i have are crap rewards); it may not be as efficient as track farming; but its a hell of a lot less boring

Anjanath has been the kindest to me for THAT one, yeah. "Aw many I didn't even attack their tail all fight-oh cool"

Ignore everybody telling you to find more investigations and hit up ye olde friend SOS and filter for Vaal hazak unless your internet connection is poop. Also alt-tabbing can cause d/cs so don't do that mid quest.

[Misfit]

if you just want normal vaal investigations, kill radobaans. they have alot of parts so you get alot investigations for 1 fight and and it takes only 2 minutes to kill.
i deleted countless vaal investigations while farming the radobaan crown
