I know most people will not see or care about this but a have a real interesting theories about Vaal Hazak, miasma, and it's blackveil form.

Ok so vaal Hazak lives in the deepest part of the rottenveil, now there is not a lot of info on vaal hazak, the only this that is noted is that it has a symboitic relationship with the miasma. so we need to learn more about the miasma, miasma is vapors or smells that are unpleasant and one big cause of miasma is decomposed material. The miasma is cause by the dead monsters that died in the veil which is why it is the only game with miasma as none of the other games have a grave this big. Now it is time to take about vaal hazak, vaal at first look might look like a undead dragon but looking closer you see that it just wears rotting flesh . But here is the real creepy part, vaal lower jaw is all bony and there two of them and you see bones coming out of it's body which made me think why is that. then it hit me vaal hazak is not immune to the miasma so vaal wears corpsese, it is some sort of armor to the miasma which is why you first see it in a hill of bodes. now we have not talked about blackveil at all and am getting sleepy so i'll make it fast. blackveil is the first vaal hazak that they found so it hid in the forest to hid so musrooms grew on it's body.

literally the coolest elder dragon ever

Submit

New hunter, should I use a high-powered fire weapon or high elderseal weapon?

Submit

I beat him first try by buying a **** ton of farcasters and mega barrel bombs and using DB so I could just keep blowing him up and getting underneath him to spam attacks and using the farcasters when he does that miasma thing and just go in to the tent to recover health and just go back and repeat until he dies. It feels like a pussy thing to do, but it works lmao

The first time I killed this guy I got his gem.
Epic gamer moment.

Submit

what is the maximum research level for him?

Submit

in MHRise trailer, they show us a (possibly) new type of spider monster. And assuming, it seems like the hooks that the spider has, came from Vaal Hazak's claws and wingtips. i am highly sure that we will get something like Rotten Vale back in Rise

Submit

This boi is quite easy with a HBG, barely noticed the miasma damage, never needed a nulberry. Just stay at maximum range for pierce (which is out of range for his big aoe) and relocate behind him when he does his breath. His charge attack is trivial to dodge at this range, too.

Submit

Alright, as a fairly amateur Hunter, I have a few tips and warnings for those who'll face him for the first time. 1: Nullberries are a must. 2: This guy plays dirty by expanding its "Effluvia Field", and absorbing other monsters Effluvia to temporarily heal itself. 3: Don't get anxious if the battle stretches out. 4: Fire is a godsend when fighting him, so throw torchpods on the ground to chip its health, giving it a taste of its own medicine. Also, the only complaint I have when fighting this guy are its Fangs. It's a nightmare farming for them. Elder Dragons are way too resilient when it comes to breaking their parts, so Partbreaker and high Attack damage are advised to farm. Hope my humble, half-assed walkthrough helps you fighting this cancer spreading scum. :)

Why are so many people complaining about his effluvium when you can equip 3 miasma jewels and be fully immune?

Submit

since a dead body gets weak after it gets wet why his he not hurt by water?

The easiest elder Dragon in the game it's a joke fight it you know how to deal with it. I knew I could farm it after the first one.

This thing scares the pants off me and I dread to fight him simply because I have bad resource management

Submit

looks the part but is VERY weak to fire

Submit

Hammer + Vaal = Vaal be ded.

Submit

The most dangerous thing about this monster is neither its striking power or ability to halve your health. Its the fact that they constantly create fields that inflict unmitigated chip damage. It racks up over time (especially againtst the AT variant), and is subtle enough to forget about in the heat of the moment. It makes it so that the few hits that actually do connect much more likely to be the one that carts you.

Submit

I've decided to move the MR weapons to Blackveil Vaal Hazak's page since Blackveil replaces regular Vaal Hazak in Master Rank.

Submit

So is there no master rank armor for the regular Vaal hazak?

Submit

I can and can't say this crackhead is easy, because damaging it is easy, dodging attacks? pretty annoying but do-able. but landing a true charge attack is literally impossible

Submit

hm easy dub

Submit

From what I’ve gathered of people’s experiences, either Vaal is easy as***** for you, or it’s the literal spawn of Satan. For me it’s the spawn of satan.

Nerg was so easy, this***** is a ficking nightmare. This thing have so much broken hitboxes, high damage and health reduction. Everyone say to stay under his butt, but it get you anyway whit his unpredictable charge attack. ***** this*****.

fighting this thing is a f***ing nightmare

Since today's update, I only get membrane when I break my head. Bug or bad luck, I do not know.

Give me your fangs you crackhead of a dragon!

Submit

I'm aware Elderseal weapons disperse Val's miasma aura but do fire element weapons also? I usually bring an elderseal weapon but I've played with fire a couple of times and it seems like it also represses the miasma. When you shoot slinger torch ammo on the ground it disperses the miasma so I thought there might be a relation.

i always wondered if the Acid Water affects him, i drag him to the acid water (the Glowy Shiny blue water) and run around the pool shooting. maybe it helps but as a Hunter walking in the hazard myself, it feels like 5HP drains per second in the pool of water

Plot twist: Vaal is a female Great Girros.

Submit

with Hazaks shape and his beam attack he reminds me of gogmazios

Random question is the beam attack blockable

Submit

I just beat this guy and honestly I'm astounded by how easy this guy was compared to the other elder dragons. Teostra kept exploding the map, Kushala was highly annoying to hit, but this guy was just "roll under belly and wack it till it dies"

Submit

Vaal hazak is immune to dragon WHILE unwounded, not while wounded. You have your info backwards on that section.

Submit

what does it mean by unwounded body parts?

Submit

vaal hazak - making you waste nullberries like it's second nature to you

Submit

I personally think vaal and nerg are the easiest of all elder dragons. yeah my thoughts completed

Submit

Use null berries to restore your healthbar.

Submit

*vaal holds infinity gauntlet* "when I snap my fingers, half of your health pool will vanish" … it's an Infinity War reference

Submit

the wings do damage when he does a jump attack. THE WINGS! Then I block all of his attacks just fine only to be one shotted by one of his rush moves (I stay behind him!) or his miasma burbs (shield up...). Why exactly when it is 99 times no problem at all? Nobody knows... I can handle him fine now, got everything I need from him but these random sudden deaths totaly out of the blue are a bit annoying tbh.

Submit

I'm featuring the Rotten Vale in a DnD oneshot. Here's what I got so far. Note that I don't plan on having them face Raodobann or Great Girnos and its for a level 20 party. It's also gonna be my first time being a DM. Anyways let me know what you think and sorry for the wall of text. Girnos stats! HP: 50 Strength: 11 Dexterity: 12 Constitution: 12 Intelligence: 4 Wisdom: 5 Charisma: 0 Slash: the Girnos slashes at a target, dealing 1d10 slashing damage on a hit. Bite: the Girnos attempts to bite its prey, dealing 1d6 piercing damage on a hit. If hit target must make a Constitution saving throw, if failed target is paralysed for 2 turns. Odogaron stats! HP: 1200 Strength: 19 Dexterity: 20 Constitution: 18 Intelligence: 0 Wisdom: 0 Charisma: 0 Resistances: Fire, Water, Poison. Weaknesses: Cold, Paralysis. Bite: the Odogaron attempts to bite for 3d8 piercing damage. Slash: the Odogaron slashes at its prey dealing 4d10 slashing damage on a hit, if hit target must make a Constitution save, if failed, target is now bleeding for 1d10 bleeding damage every turn for 4 turns. Pounce: the Odogaron leaps at it prey, knocking it down on a hit, and deals 3d8 piercing damage until knocked off. Odogaron will continue to attack the pounced party member until it is knocked off, the pounced target succeeds a Strength throw, or the target is dead. Tail Whip: the Odogaron slaps enemies behind it with its tail, dealing 4d6 bludgeoning damage on a hit. Roar: the Odogaron can use its bonus action to roar, all humanoid creatures within 30 feet must make a Constitution saving throw, if a creature fails that creature is stunned until next round. Vaal Hazzak! The Corpse Coat Dragon stats! HP: 3482 Resistances: Lightning, Poison, Sleep, Paralysis. Weaknesses: Fire. Strength: 20 Dexterity: 20 Constitution: 20 Intelligence: 20 Wisdom: 20 Charisma: 0 Effluvium Beam: Vaal Hazzak breaths a beam of pure Effluvium in a 60 degree arc starting from its right. All targets hit make a Constitution saving throw. Targets take 4d20 necrotic damage on a failed throw or half as much on a successful throw. Effluvium Mist: Vaal Hazzak can disperse the Effluvium built up in its body into a mist covering 30 feet surrounding it lasting for 3 turns. Anyone in this mist must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed throw, max HP is cut in half for 5 turns and take 1d6 necrotic damage for every turn they spend in the mist. Effluvium Mist Beam: Vaal Hazzak fires an Effluvium Beam at the ground, dealing 1d20 necrotic damage to anyone caught by it. This attack applies the effects of Effluvium Mist. Effluvium Drain: Vaal Hazzak can drain the Effluvium from any nearby creatures with the status "Effluvium Corruption", healing Vaal Hazzak for 1d12+6 for every creature drained. This move kills any creatures drained. Bite: Vaal Hazzak bites at its target, dealing 2d12 piercing damage on a hit.

It all started when a kushala started smoking weed

For those trying to get fangs and not sure of if you've broken his head, when it breaks the spine bones where the head and neck meet will be broken off. It will look sort of like a crater.

Submit

Best theme song in the game.

Submit

weird how i dont see anyone commenting or showing off his palico armour set, like who wouldn't want a tiny cat skeleton warrior running around with you? oh and the fight is fine as long as you get something to counter the effluvia, the instant that is not a critical element, you can just go in and attack for almost you heart content.

Submit

RE: Fangs. Using HBG Spreadshots and shooting entirely at his face [and nowhere else], even after head breaks + using Legiana 2 piece set [extra rewards] + being on an investigation managed to net me a fang on almost every kill. No clue how a melee user would be able to reliably farm them. It was slow and tedious but I was able to get about 5 per hour.

Submit

This page makes Vaal seem so much more threatening than it actually is. I just took a lvl 1 dragonbone bow and it did the job. It's miasma "beam" attack is the only thing you need to watch out for and it is very telegraphed. When he is about to do it run behind him and fire a couple dragon piercers from its tail to its head and just spam your shots get that elderseal proc'd on him. Take max potions, null berries, and such, and make sure you eat the first go around. It is stupid simple.

Submit

Ok. Fang drop rate is a joke, i hunt it like 20 times and only got 3 of them while i got like 7 gem. And that is with silver and gold investigation included

Submit

I just killed this guy 6 times in a row in investigations to get the fangs for the armor. I broke his head every single time. Now i have 5 gems and 2 fangs, Wtf is going on

Submit

Complete joke with lance/gunlance. Just guard and poke him between his legs until he does his breath thing, move to his side and go to town with your best combos. Repeat until dead. Easy solo with Nergal Ram + Nerg Armor A

Submit

The only elder dragon with good armor -_-

Submit

Everyone grab your flammenkaefers

Submit

Been farming fangs using the long sword. Best way I've seen is hit his head as much as possible when he turns around and go crazy on him when he has no gas left or when he is getting gas. Killed him in 16 minutes, 10 seconds, used a lot of nulberries and potions

Submit

Here’s a tip get some good armor and weapons and go SOLO or with 1 person you know

Submit

The Medicine skill is really useful for AT Vaal Hazak, either when you have support teammates or run a friendship build yourself. Having just 1 level is immensely helpful when you heal yourself or others heal you. Keep everyone alive, and ohana.

Submit

PSA for Arch Tempered Vaal Hazak;

Assuming his weapons are any indication he naturally deals Dragon Element, which ironically is one of 2 elements he's weakest against. Equip Dragon Res jewels (+20 & bonus +10 def) and take a veggie meal (15) in the canteen. It helps a lot if you have a build that starts out with a positive Dragon Res value.

When Arch Tempered Kirin was around, I made sure to have my Thunder Res above 40. At that point his 2 insane charged-up lightning bolt attacks stopped 1-shotting me, taking only about 40% of my HP. The same principle should apply to Vaal Hazak's elemental attacks.

Submit

What type of damage is his breath attack? His Arch-Tempered version is so damn strong with it, how can i lower the damage?

Submit

worst boss ever. who ever created this needs to die

Submit

Took him out with Legiana armor. It helps keep your damage to a minimum fairly often and also would help you farm for the fangs with its luck boost. Especially great for mounters with an addition of increased air attack.

Submit

I beat a 15 min investigation, solo. Use a small weapon, sword and shield, dual blades. I tried great sword, but I'm hitting the armored legs too much. Didn't make it in time. Small one, stick to the chest. Fire element or dragon. Be very aggressive. Took him down w one min and 9 seconds to spare.

Submit

Is there a glitch to capture elder dragons? Or will capturing them break the game?

Submit

I've always wondered what's under all those corpses... ugh...

Submit

How long does it take to shatter this thing 's head? I've been going at it so many times and never have I broken it. I'm using dual blades but might switch to hammer.

Submit

I can't decide on which dual blades to use. The Nergal Gouge or the Rookslayer Handaxes. Which one would be good against all 3 of the Elder Dragons?

Submit

do elder dragons show up on expeditions? I just beat nirgigante and i need to farm him.

Submit

i just noticed but using a ghillie mantle makes you to immune to the effluvia all across the rotten vale

Submit

Easy gimmick boss

Submit

Why are people incapable of fighting this guy... just stay as close to him as possible, so he doesn’t use his death laser. Preferably behind. Even as a bow user I know to stay close.

Submit

Does Effluvial Expert negate his attack? Or does just the miasma jewels' effluvial resistance help here?

Submit

Which dual blades would work better against the Hazak? The Magda Ungulaes or any of the Anja Cyclones. Please reply and say what you think would be better because I'm about to fight Zorah for the second time and I can keep going after the Anjanath when I want. I'm not going for a speedrun I just want to find out what would work better. So please reply what would be better.

Submit

Would the Anjanath dual blades upgraded as far as possible be a good setup? Because with my dual blades experience (I only started MH from MH3U) you need to be very close to hit stuff and with the risk of the Miasma I'm wondering if I should use a bow or bowgun.

Submit

fucker is easy to kill, easiest of all elders imo. farming his fangs on other hand is a PAIN UP THE FUCKIN ASS!! 25 kills for 3 fangs, with 4 different weapons focussing his fucking shitface. I AM NOT AMUSED CAPCOM! >.<

Submit

Girros aren't related to Hazak they're just affected by the effluvium, the small flying monsters in the same area have the same vapor effect but are not Girros. When the hunter gets blighted by it (health halved) and Hazak does that move where it sucks up the smoke from the surrounding Girros (killing them in the process) it also kills the hunter.

Submit

Generally found this guy the easiest elder Dragon I got it with the nergal lacerator on my first try

Submit

The real question is would ol' Nergi actually have eaten this dude if he got the chance?
