Grethel the Glassblower Boss Guide

Learn the best strategies and tips to defeat Grethel the Glassblower, a level 50 V Blood boss in V Rising. Master her attacks and claim your rewards!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Level: 50
• Recommended Gear: Hollowfang set (Gear Level 50)
• Recommended Blood Type: Scholar (for spell power and cooldown reduction)
• Weaknesses: The source text doesn't explicitly state weaknesses like specific damage types, but emphasizes ranged combat and avoiding certain attacks.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Initial Engagement - Grethel uses basic attacks and Shock Discs.
2. Phase 2: Divebomb & Lava Rainfall - As her health lowers, she introduces Divebomb and Lava Rainfall attacks.
3. Phase 3: Icicle Shield - When her shield appears, avoid attacking it to prevent icicle barrages.

Strategy:

• Before engaging, clear out all militia in the quarry to avoid interference during the fight.
• Maintain distance and attack Grethel with a Bow or Pistols.
• Weave in Blood Magic spells to leech health back.
• If you take too much damage, use the ice block ability to recover health and gain temporary invulnerability.
• Shock Discs: Grethel shoots three electrified discs that slow your movement speed if hit. Stand between them or move to the side if you're far enough away.
• Divebomb: She leaps into the air and dives at your location. Use your dash skill to easily avoid this.
• Lava Rainfall: After taking some damage, she calls down lava that lands in various spots. Avoid standing in these areas as they deplete your HP.
• Icicle Shield: If Grethel raises a shield, do NOT attack it. Doing so summons multiple bouncing icicles that hit multiple times.

• Unlocks recipes for Wall Hanging Mirrors, Glass, and Blood Rose Potion.
• Grants a Tier 1 Storm Spell Point.
