Vaal Oversoul is the worst story boss in the game

Forward: this is mostly opinion based just keep that in mind.


Worst as in very bad mechanics, optimization, fun. First it takes forever for him to pop up out of the ground he's so stupid and easy like the only thing to watch out for is the 3 second wind up slam. And to make matters worse every single time you beat him it takes like another 20 seconds to open up the exit to act 3.


please do something about this boss in the main game. He's ok in maps because he's already spawned no waiting around just go in and have fun. Maybe give him massive speed boost in main game or something so he's not some slow lumbering beast that almost every build in the game can just facetank minus slam and triple laser beam, most builds can take two lasers but 3 is risky.

Idk what does everyone else think?

edit:few spelling mistakes, changed title to reflect I'm talking about main game Vaal Oversoul not map/atziri one except spawn time on atziri ones

I came in here expecting to disagree with you, but I hate the same things you do. No reason for the long spawn time or long death time. Mechanics of the fight are fine for me though.

Gonna agree. Mechanics are fine, but I have builds where I can kill the boss in the time it would take one of its animations to complete and sitting and waiting is annoying.

Yes, WAY too long to spawn. Not OK in Aziri, OP. Unlike maze map where he is already spawned, you have to wait forever for him. It makes Atziri runs much longer.

Agree that his entrance and exit animations should be sped up a bit. Mechanics fine IMHO. Thread title claim is ridiculous, unless the animations really bother you THAT much.

Or he didn't get much farther :P

But yeah the spawn time is long, but that isn't that bad, because it also allows you to do some things, but it could be shortened a lot. The time until the door opens though is ridicolously long.

the animation is fine, its the fact that you stand and facetank him if he isn't doing slam that bothers me. even merveil in my opinion poses wayyyyyyyyyy more of a threat than he does.


Like other than atziri oversouls that cover 3/4 screen in ball lightning his mechanics are soooooooooo boring.


oh no he's spawning chill ground for 15 seconds at a time oh nooooooooo


Idk after fighting him for going on 4 years he's the one boss that sticks out the most to me as the one that needs the most love mechanically.

edited thread title to more accurately reflect I mean the act boss version, not the other versions.

They fixed the spider spawn speed, so hopefully next up is the Vaal Oversoul!!

Want to see a funny bug to make your wait for this thing less boring? Pop a portal before triggering it, trigger it, take the portal and come back immediately. Then laugh at your screen for 30 sec. ))

Works in Atziri/Uber as well.
