Howlin0001 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I am about to do the Vanstrom boss fight. I'm not sure what's the best armour to use is? I've heard wearing armour like gano helps because they have high magic absorb percentage.

Saunamajuri Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I did it with torag armour while praying magic protect and had no problem with him. Ganodermic does however help a lot if you get hit by Vanstroms specials. You might want to bring terrorbird or other energy restoring items. If you need it or not depends entirely how much Vanstrom is going to use his special attacks (namely the blood bombs). Remember to orient your screen to face away from him at all times.

Quyneax Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I used blood barrage + ss and healed more than his specs ever hit... therefore I have no clue on what the darkness special does. But if you're using ganodermic, that might be an option :P.

But if you're using ganodermic, that might be an option :P.In case anyone wonders, the darkness special hits lots of damage (around 500) and can only be avoided by making you character face a wall and having your screen face away from Vanstrom.

Tim Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I found it easiest to super set, black d hide, use the halberd and range him with blisterwood darts when he flies. had him drop dead easily, and that's with very similar stats. (well, maybe higher range), but since you have overloads that'll compensate. Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
