Vhal`Sera  

went last night to TFS and what i did to span this mob : go to lvl 6b and clear it from mobs. then go back to lvl 6a and clear it too .go back on lvl 6b and VhalSera will pop.wen i came to lvl 6a i didnt find any ice shade with pet so i deside to clear all ice shade went to lvl 6b.no pop.so i clear all 6b and went back to lvl 6a and clear it. after that vhalsera pop.tried second time this tactic to confirm that and his pop agin.same with tserina on lvl 7 .clear all mobs before you go to bats. hope this will help

Really weird/lucky thing happened when i fought this guy. I was soloing through the tower, tryin to eventually get to tserrina and trying to solo her (im a 65 bard). Anyway, i kill the shade, this guy pops, and i go on up to get him. I harmo the bat on the portin to 6b (mistake number one), and then grabbed Sera, who was right up the stairs. I came down, i guess i got too close to the bat, and it reagroed. I decided to kill the bat first, just cause it had significantly less hps but was still doing the same amount of dmg as sera (i had had resist song on, so his spells were doing little to nothing). I eventually kill the bat, and then the enraged vampire spawns. I try to kill the vampire, but realize im only at around 20% health; mezzed the vamp, prayed and tried to mez sera. Obviously it didnt work so i figured im screwed. I get to 10%, and by this time ive come to face my fate, im already planning the CR. Suddenly, sera's charm lands on me, and i start to regen at unagrod npc speed, or maybe sera himself was healing me since i was his pet...reagardless, I get up to around 25% hp, and charm breaks 10ish seconds later. Sera had gone underwater around the edge of the port-in area; i was expecting him to attack me again once charm had broken, but for some weird reason, he didnt, maybe cause he was underwater? Anyway, I mezzed the vampire again, healed up, and killed it. Healed up the rest of the way, then found sera still underwater, slowed him, and it was on. I killed him easily with no adds, resist song made it cake; he dropped the earring and the key, and i was one happy, and surprisingly alive bard...guess i'll try for tserrina tomorrow. Crazy day.

Just soloed him as a 59 Wizard, pulled him to the room, rooted, snared, kited him around a bit, stun/nuked, and got him. Fight ended with me at 72% and enough mana to cast a root lol I think I'll wait till 60 to try again =) With 154 MR I think maybe 1 or 2 spells landed

Duo'd last night by myself, lvl 60 battle Cleric and my 57 chanter friend. with MR at 148 I pretty much resisted everything. He was light blue iirc.

my friedn 53 shaman had been pling my other friend 48 rogue in tofs and wanted the key to the 7th floor. he tried once by himself and had to gate. the second try it was both the shaman and the rouge cause i died on the way to the 6th floor im a 41 ranger. anyways he killed the rodue and the shaman got to the mirror just in time. the next night we fought our way to the 6th floor got the rogues corpse and vhalsera was up and we couldnt remeber how to spwan so we camped out at the begining of the zone. i went here and found out what to kill. and last night we killed ice shades for about 35 min till the 1 with the pet spawned. after he droped vhalspawned like 10 sec after he dropped. we went to the room with the bridge and cleared the room medded and buffed up. the shaman pulled vhalsera with a 500 point damage dot which luckly stuck on first try. he sicked his pet on him and then me and the rogue went in. i snared then kept shain casting flaming and brning arrow to keep him off the rogue the best i could so the rogue could backstab i was blind about 3/4 of this battle lol. we had him down to about 20% and he gated or so we thought. if he dissappears he hasnt gated at all he drops into the thin line of water around the room the shaman found him and we went back at it and again i was blinded. when i could c again he had 37%hp and i was oom so i just kept attacking. vhalsera ran up the bridge and train a bat on us which we ignored of course and then i went blind again when my sight returned i was charmed and attacking the rogue but my charm lastede like 20 sec so it didnt hurt us. he die quikly after that. when he died the room respawned we took out the rest of the mobs and desided to camp out cause it was about 330 am and the rogue was tired. in all it was fun and pretty easy with a little planning when all 3 of us were there. hope this helps some one good luck and good hunting to all

Drops Vhal`Sera Skull Earring, and Key to 7th floor

Today myself (55 ENC) and my two froglok friends (40 cler, 40 Pal) were doing the 6th floor, do great in fact, then we got the idea lets go kill Vhalsera instead of doing the hallway. Well needless to say we all died. But important note to point out that Vhalsera is unmezzable. I tried Fascination (AE Mez), Dazzle, and Glamour all of which were resisted. He hits for 117 dmg and has a nuke / proc for 541 damage. He also seems to cast charm on random players. Side note for you enchanters out there, do Charms work with this guy ? I doubt it but I am sure someone tried.

Me and a couple friends (50 ranger, 55 druid) were camping the wedding room trying to get some rings for alts when the ranger said he was up on track. So we decided to kill him.

Dropped into the 6th floor, killed the bat and vampire, just to clear the room. Ranger pulled him in to the room, almost immediately got charmed and started whacking me. Druid rooted him, I sent in pet to MT. Level 49 pet did a pretty bang up job with it, thanks to druid healing him. I stacked Cascading Darkness, Splurt, Ignite Blood, and Bond of Death on him... got no resists. I dunno what the druid did, he was in charge of heals. Once ranger got un-charmed he nuked himself to drop root and then proceeded to join ***** in whacking him.

He dropped fairly quickly, with little problems. We were expecting the ranger to get charmed, so we were ready for that.

Dropped key and Vhal Sera Skull Earring. I won the roll on the earring, druid got key.

Went in last night with the following group:

54 Wizard, 43 Cleric, and 37 Enchanter

It was a heck of a fight. He aggroed and I (wizard) started blasting him with Volcaic Draught (Ice comment was to slow and to much mana to risk on a resist). Of course I drew aggro. Cleric put 3 heals on me. I was 60 mana, enchanter is having all his spells bounce. At this point Vahl'Sera is at 90 percent health. I then switched my Staff of TFlux out for my Crucible of escape to evac us. Meanwhile Cleric and Enchanter are trying stuns on him now. All stuns are bouncing.

Finally the Enchanter sticks a stun. That seemed to open the door for their spells to stick. At this point the cleric didn't use another heal till the fight was over. The cleric and Enchanter stunned him over and over. I dumped ALL my mana into him and he was at 25 percent health. So I figure we are evacing anyway.

At that point, I started Orbin' him. (Orb of Torrefaction). Each hit with the orb did 2 percent damage (250 DD). I blast him about 8 times and finally get enough mana for a final killshot with Volcaic Draught.

Needless to say we were in HIGH spirits after that. Gotta love stun spells!!

P.S. Of course we did a town run to sell and the cleric and enchanter both end up dying on floor 4 when invis drops on the way back in. *chuckles*

P.S.S. I don't advise using a group like we had, just pointing out you CAN get lucky and that Stunners can be your friend!!

We owned this guy tonight. Me (53 SK) and a friend (61 Enchanter) took this guy down easily.

Just dotted myself with my lvl 9 dot, so he couldn't charm. Chanter tashed, and slowed. He went down within a few minutes.

I keep seeing a lot of people posting how they can't stun either Valshera or Tserina, but stuns still interupt their casting. Start chain stunning if they try and cast their gate spell.

Ok, here's what I know about this bloke. If not already up kill mobs on 6a till he does, one mob i've noticed causes him to spawn EVERY time is the shade on 6a that looks like an orginal spectre (like the ones in oasis), had him insta pop in his normal place 5 times now from killing this mob.

To pull him, have someone 53+ pull him to get a guarenteed single pull every time.

As far as killing him goes, he is really easy if you know what you're doing. He hits for max of about 117, procs a blind spell which will probably stick eventually and a few low level dots, nothing too bad. He does have quite a lot HP as all named mobs in velious do but all in all goes down rather quickly. Best bet is melee him down to about half and then have everyone else chain nuke him, doing it this way takes a bit of time which means he'll most likely be oom so no gate.

Loot wise, his Earring isn't too bad for melees who want more hp and the necklace is a little worse on the loot scale with relatively low stats for a mob as difficult as this.
