Simon Belmont the Vampire Hunter Boss Guide

Master the Simon Belmont boss fight in V Rising. Learn his location, attack patterns, weaknesses, and the best strategies to claim victory and valuable rewards.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Level: 80 (Recommended Player Level: 86+)
• Weaknesses: Fire and Holy attacks (implied by his own attacks and resistances needed)
• Resistances: Fire and Holy (implied by the need for brews)

Phases:

1. Simon Belmont has multiple attack patterns that can be learned and dodged. There are no distinct 'phases' in terms of health thresholds, but his attack combinations can change.

Strategy:

• Preparation: Ensure you are at least Level 86 with excellent mid-long range weapons. Bring Fire Resistance Brews and Holy Resistance Brews. Ensure you have ample time at night to complete the fight.
• Location: Simon Belmont primarily roams the Dunley Farmlands. He may occasionally wander into Farbane Woods or Silverlight Hills. Use Bat Form to track him by flying around Dunley Farmlands until the 'Very Close' message appears, then follow the blood trail.
• Holy Water: Simon throws a bottle that splits into three smaller ones, creating persistent fire pools. Keep moving and use Fire Resistance Brews.
• Whip Barrier: Simon spins his whip in front of him, blocking frontal attacks and dealing damage. If in a group, have one player attack from behind.
• Whip Grab: A long-range whip attack that pulls you in, deals moderate damage, and stuns. Dodge with a dash. He can chain this with other attacks, including after dashing himself. After 'Mending Cross', this attack leaves fire pools.
• Cross: Simon throws a large spinning cross that returns like a boomerang. Dodge it to avoid damage and follow-up attacks. After 'Mending Cross', he launches three crosses.
• Dagger: Simon throws multiple fire-imbued daggers. Keep your distance to easily avoid them; close range makes them hard to dodge. Fire Resistance Brews help mitigate damage.
• Axe: Simon tosses a spinning axe that creates a small shockwave on impact. This is relatively easy to avoid and does not leave lingering hazards.
• Whirlwind Whip: Simon spins his whip in a large AoE, causing knockback and stun. Dash away immediately when he prepares this attack.
• Flame Tornado: Similar to Whirlwind Whip, Simon spins his whip to create a tornado, then drops fire pools around him.
• General Combat: Keep your distance, utilize dashes effectively to avoid AoE attacks and grabs, and be prepared to dodge multiple projectiles and area denial effects.
