Path Of Exile 2 Quick Gold

With the official launch of POE 2 early access, you will find that although there are only 3 acts to experience, each act is very rich, including campaigns with different plots and bosses of different difficulties.

Among them, if you can successfully defeat those higher-level bosses, you can not only get more POE 2 Currency than completing ordinary tasks but also unlock the next act or a new challenge difficulty. Viper Napuatzi, in the third act is such a boss worth challenging.

Located in Utzaal, this boss will deploy various poison attacks in a very small arena, forcing you into a claustrophobic battle. Although the battle process with her may not be very complicated, the limited size of the arena and the power of the poison will make her extremely deadly. Especially when she uses multiple core actions in rapid succession to cover the arena in poison or trap you in a corner.

Based on this, we will introduce you how to defeat her from two aspects: pre-preparation and specific battle.

Prepare According To The Boss’s Weaknesses

When you encounter her, you need to make sure your game character is at least level 43-45 - of course, the higher the better. Since Viper Napuatzi is resistant to almost as many elemental damage, even physical damage, so you’d better use chaos damage to deal with her, or destroy her armor as much as possible.

Among the 6 classes currently available, Warrior’s slam attacks and Witch’s chaos build will be the best weapons to deal with this boss, and Ranger with poison or chaos attacks is also effective. Other professions will feel more difficult, such as Monk or Sorceress. If you play such a disadvantaged class, you’d better use chaos resistance to enhance your equipment and defense.

To do this, you need to farm equipment with chaos resistance attributes throughout Act 3 beforehand, and make them stronger by consuming POE 2 Exalted Orbs. In addition, you can also work hard to unlock those chaos resistance nodes on the passive skill tree. Alternatively, you can use Chaos Resistance Ring, which is a random drop in Act 3, and can also be found at vendors in Act 2 or Act 3.

It’s worth mentioning that if you’ve previously defeated Ignagduk and completed Tribal Vengeance quest, you can choose to obtain Blooming Antidote Charm. This will make you immune to poison when you’re poisoned during the fight with Viper Napuatzi.

How To Defeat Viper Napuatzi?

Throughout the fight, Viper Napuatzi will accumulate the frequency of her attacks, rather than switching between phases. As a result, she’ll become more unpredictable as the fight progresses.

First, her basic range of attacks is based around spear attacks, which include thrusts that can be dodged sideways, and a standard three-hit combo. Typically, her first two attacks might hit you at close range, and then she’ll leap forward and slam her spear into the ground for a more powerful third attack. You can dodge the first two attacks by rolling out of the way, and then rolling to the side to avoid the third slam.

She will then slowly walk forward, swinging her spear, and suddenly jump forward while spinning the spear, dealing poison damage to you. During this time, you must do your best to stay away from her, because if you are hit, you will continue to take damage while being infected by the poison.

Be careful, Viper Napuatzi can also rush towards you to close the distance between you, but you can predict it by some of her behaviors. When Napuatzi holds the spear with her right hand and charges it, you can see the poison concentrate on the tip of the spear, accompanied by a loud sound prompt.

This is actually a long-range charge attack, and she will launch two snakes in the area in front of her. This attack has a wide range, so when she releases the charge attack, you should immediately step back and dodge.

Between all of Viper Napuatzi’s attacks, it is recommended that you use single-target skills that can be automatically aimed, area-of-effect skills, or projectiles such as walls and spheres to allow you to damage her while avoiding the boss.

Of course, you should always remember not to get too close to her, but to guide her from a distance to keep a medium distance around the arena slowly. This will allow you to avoid most of her melee attacks with good dodging.

How To Deal With The Ultimate Phase Of The Fight?

If you play as a Warrior or other melee class, you’ll want to focus on casting totems and shockwaves. Also, if you don’t damage Napuatzi for too long, her energy shield will regenerate, making her harder to kill.

When Napuatzi’s health drops to around 85%, she’ll place her spear on the ground and form a poison pool around herself while rising into the air above the arena and starting to fire blasts at you. These blasts are marked with circles on the ground, and to avoid them you must slowly move around the arena, moving to spaces where the blasts didn’t hit or just hit.

There’s no set order for these attacks. Viper Napuatzi can use several blasts in a row, or relentlessly unleash her melee attacks. To do this, you’ll need to be familiar with her movements for each attack.

When her health drops to around 30%, she will perform a spear attack, and once her health drops to 5%, she will perform a spear attack more continuously. However, you cannot damage her during this attack, so you have to wait until she starts fighting on the ground again to continue to damage her until she is defeated.

With the death of Viper Napuatzi, you will not only can obtain Regal Orbs or some rare equipment that may drop through her, but also enter Cruel difficulty and endgame.

Since the first game, Path of Exile has always been one of the more difficult RPGs, and POE 2 is no exception. Even the regular challenges and quests can sometimes be hard to complete, let alone the overpowered bosses. From werewolves to elves, you may even face dozens of enemies in a boss fight.

Despite this, sometimes you still actively fight high-level bosses in order to get more POE 2 Orbs that may drop. But no matter how well you dodge or how hard you hit, sometimes the boss just won’t go down. It’s completely fine to give up or create a new character to continue playing, but why not try some tricks to make boss battles easier?

With this in mind, we will introduce you to 8 tips that may increase your chances of winning boss battles and improve your gaming experience.

1. Level Up

Leveling up is undoubtedly one of the most basic ways to make you stronger in POE 2. Regardless of which class you play, actively farming monsters or clearing dungeons will earn you enough experience to increase the power of your passive skills.

And if there is a boss that you can’t defeat despite multiple attempts, you can make a specific upgrade plan for it to push yourself to acquire a skill that may be the advantage you need to defeat that boss.

For example, if you have trouble fighting the damage of a certain boss, you can invest in skills that increase health regeneration, armor, or evasion. If a certain boss has powerful defense, it is recommended to invest in elemental or physical damage or critical chance.

2. Try Single-Player Games

Some bosses have higher health and are more difficult to defeat when facing a group. Here, you may try to go it alone, especially if these bosses rely mainly on area attacks.

Of course, this can be a double-edged sword. Because if a certain boss is resistant to the type of damage you deal, you may find yourself in a more difficult situation. But since enemies have lower health when fighting alone, and there is no need to worry about reviving teammates, playing alone can be an advantage against certain bosses.

3. Carry Resistance Items

There are some amulets and rings in Path of Exile 2 that have good resistance to different elemental damage, which can be very useful when you are dealing with bosses that rely on elemental damage or effects such as stun.

You can find several rings and amulets through adventures, or exchange some by POE 2 Currency. As the resistance stacks, they can greatly reduce the damage that bosses who focus on a single damage type can cause you, making it much easier to defeat them.

Among them, the amulet is particularly useful. It allows you to ignore status effects directly such as freeze or stun caused by the enemy, increasing your chances of winning in battle.

4. Reset Passive Skills

If you don’t plan your build in advance, resetting passive skills can be a very important trick, because it is almost impossible to defeat the boss with an imperfect build. Even if you can last a long time in the battle, you can’t cause any damage to the boss.

Passive skills can provide you with attribute improvements related to classes and abilities, including new abilities that are automatically activated under certain conditions, or allow you to equip new equipment and gain attribute gains, giving you a chance to defeat the boss.

5. Remember The Boss’s Attack Patterns

In Path of Exile 2, it is crucial to remember the boss’s attack patterns. Because large-scale arena sweeps require you to stand in a specific position or focus on repetitive timing rather than reaction.

Most POE 2 bosses have a fixed way of attacking in each round. When you have a strong enough to combat power and successfully remember the enemy’s attack patterns, you can deal with him more specifically. Sometimes, being killed by the boss is just a way to understand its weaknesses and provide a stepping stone to defeat them.

6. Replace Skill Gems

This tip is actually provided for new players, because as long as you have some understanding of POE series, you should know the importance of handling skill gems correctly.

During the game, you must constantly upgrade your skills and replace targeted skill gems in time according to the type of enemy to deal with them: if the boss has followers, it will be useful to enhance the effect range and effect duration of the skills; if it is a single boss, then the skills should maximize the damage to make it easier to defeat them.

7. Grind For Better Gear

One thing about POE 2 that’s unique is that its loot pool is random, so it’s hard to find weapons that really give you an edge in boss fights - especially if you don’t have a loot filter.

Rare weapons usually have better properties, and they perform even better if the random affixes added to them by using Exalted Orb target the boss’s weaknesses. But if you’re really stuck, trying to find new gears with better properties may help you break the rut.

8. Defeat Other Bosses

It may seem contradictory, but defeating certain bosses may give you some special advantages in later boss fights. For example, when you fight and win Beira Of The Rotten Pack in The Clearfell, the second area in Act I, you get a unique item that permanently increases your resistance to cold damage.

When you encounter the final boss of Act I, you’ll be surprised to find that the main damage it deals is cold, so defeating Beira will greatly increase your chances of defeating the final boss of Act I.

In addition, other bosses in Path of Exile 2 will continue to provide you with unique items and useful attribute upgrades, which may help you fight against subsequent bosses.
