General Elena the Hollow Boss Guide

Learn how to defeat General Elena the Hollow in V Rising. This guide covers her location, attacks, weaknesses, and the best strategies to overcome this challenging V Blood boss.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Recommended Gear Level: 55
• Weaknesses: Not explicitly stated, but likely susceptible to standard V Blood boss strategies (e.g., crowd control, high burst damage once vulnerable).

Phases:

1. Initial Encounter: Elena is accompanied by Draculin; defeat them first.
2. Standard Combat: Elena uses her crossbow and ice attacks.
3. Ice Pillar Phase: Elena summons an Ice Pillar to become invulnerable. Destroy the pillar while avoiding her attacks around it.

Strategy:

• Positioning: Always be aware of her attack patterns, which often aim to make you dodge *into* the danger. Dodge sideways or backwards.
• Draculin: Eliminate any accompanying Draculin before focusing on Elena.
• Elena's Attacks:
  • Regular Attack: Fires ~4 ice-infused bolts. Dodge to avoid.
  • Glacial Shockwave: Ice shockwave in a line. Dodge to the sides.
  • Icy Rain of Arrows: Ice bolts fall in blue circles on the ground. Move out of the circles.
  • Circular Spikes: Charges an icy spell with a large blue circle. Stay outside the circle or dodge out when spikes close in.
  • Ice Storm: Similar to Circular Spikes but randomly placed on the floor. Avoid the marked areas.
  • Ice Pillar: Elena becomes invulnerable on a pillar. Attack and destroy the pillar. Be wary of attacks around it.
  • Cone of Ice: Cast while on the Ice Pillar, a cone of ice magic targets you. Dodge away.
• Pillar Destruction: Focus on destroying the Ice Pillar when she summons it. Use hit-and-run tactics as she attacks around it.
• Damage Windows: Elena has few openings. Dodge her attacks and use quick attacks like Whirlwind (Sword) when safe. Patience is key.
• Rewards: Defeating Elena yields a Tier 2 Spell Point, the Altar of Stygian Awakening, and 'Stately' Carpets recipes.
