Viper Napuatzi

So, I have now died 2 separate times to Viper on act 6 ssf hc. Nothing comes close to the difficulty of this boss.

I was lvl 68 with good resistances and armor. Somehow I ended up too close to the wall, it closed up and I died.


Pretty much everything else is a walk in the park. This sucks.




And why is it so random that sometimes the Arena shrunks rarely only once and sometimes it shrunks almost immedietly at the start of the fight.


I think I was missing Damage, but I still had like 6500 DPS, maybe its not enough..


This fight seems like the definition of kill fast or be killed. When I died it was already the 2nd time the arena shrunk.

Well. Transitioned to SC SSF since dont really have that much time because of problems on one boss.

Viper is definitely the hardest boss in the game, mainly because of the shrinking arena. It a time trial basically so it makes me actually farm and basically hesitate for a full day on HC. It's basically a dps checker as that is the only way to survive if your at the same lvl as the area.

Yeah, but basically I can kill anything past it and in endgame
maps, so its kind of a number.

So well. Decided to continue SSF HC.

I’ve now studies and trained the fight on SC so that it is a bit easier.

1) Viper itself doesnt do that much damage

2) One shot happens on the spear strike phase just before the Arena narrows down

3) The first spear phase is kind of easy to handle. You can go close to top side and keep an eye on the spears. The ones that are going to shoot get green light just before they fire. The other sides spears wont reach the top side on the first phase.

4) You can kind of time your rolls and the 7th spears will be the wave that can one shot you. You should roll counter to that wave. Or sideways.

5) He can still be damages on the orange fire showsta phase quite freely

6) I try to kill him before 2nd spear phase or restart. There seems to be some randomness to his actions and the spear phases. Sometimes its quite easy to do a lot of damage before the spears.


X) Seems Viper has low resistance ton stuns, but high resistances to physical and elemental damages. Potentially low res against chaos.
