Historical Information

In Hindu mythology, Vrtra (Vritra, "The Devourer") was an Asura and was described as being a gigantic serpent or dragon with three heads. Initially said to hold all the world's rivers captive until its death at the hands of the god Indra, later tellings of Vrtra suggested that he was created by the heavenly builder Tvashtri to slay Indra, who had earlier slew Tvashtri's son.

After engaging in a battle in which Vrtra claimed victory (he had swallowed Indra, only to be forced by the other Devas to regurgitate him), the two struck a truce that Indra would not attack Vrtra with anything made of wood, stone, or metal, dry or wet, or during the day or night. Indra instead used foam from ocean waves (neither dry nor wet, and not made of wood, stone, or metal) and killed Vrtra at twilight (neither night nor day).

usually when i'm done there with an EXP party, i like to take a side trip while waiting for members and see if Vrtra has popped close enough to the door that i can see him. Haven't seen him yet, but when i get whm to 26, i'm gonna run in there with a death wish.

the real way to beat vrtra is simple.It's just like cecil fighting himself in FF4. You do nothing. You dont attack, you just heal, dont have weapons equiped, use cover, and defensive moves only and vrtra will die after 10 mins.

Note!

Just a tiny note from what I was viewing, Dynamis Lord and Kirin's names have both appeared. By this point most people know very well that Vrtra is alot harder than Kirin {The comments on Kirin VS Vrtra or whatever obviously Vrtra would decimate Kirin as Vrtra has an amount of HP and Auto Regen that would be fairly impossible for Kirin to deal with.} Dynamis Lord however is designed as a 64 person fight. Also I will note that as with much of these HNMs and Dynamis events they are fairly over played by those that first encounter these MOBs. Kirin and Vrtra both had a period of time where noone could beat them, then people developed a plan of attack that worked as with Dynamis Lord who has been beaten and it took far less time to figure that out. I'm still certain our friend Vrtra is still on top of the most bad-*** MOBs in Vana'diel. Kirin on Fenrir is a novelty I mean I take a walke down lower jeuno and see a good 11 Kirin's Osodes at least. Not including everyone else on the entire server Lower Jeuno alone and that are online. For that many Osodes to be in one spot at one point in time on our Server is proof that people are taking him down like a punk. I've seen tons of people with tons of impressive titles. Beating Vrtra is an accomplishment it will always be an accomplishment and anyone thats beaten him has earned the title. You can't Dead Wieght that title like you can with Dynamis Lord. If you get "Vrtra Vanquisher" you had to have done our fair part. This to me proves Vrtra is still the biggest and baddest on the field. Dynamis Lord as impressive as he is and as hard as he is. You can bring a level 65 Nobody in for the trip and they can recieve the Title with no effort except by their friends.

Although the post was a little hard to read, it seemed pretty evident to me that he didn't say the battle took 20 minutes, he said the video was "20 min of this battle", meaning, I assume, he's only offering the last 20 minutes of video documented proof that he was the last man standing when Vrtra fell.

Hi post may have deserved some low ratings for readability, but I have to assume that all the rate-downs he got were because of the little one-liner of someone who couldn't read properly.

As many other whm's seem to do when they get bored, I too decided it was time to see this horrid creature. I wasnt sure where he spawned but had a good idea just from looking at the map. So I head down there as my 52 whm to check it out and get a few pics. Needless to say I wound up face down in the dirt but I did get some pics^^

He's big..He's bad..He's Vrtra. We all know and lover our big purple friend, but I kind of find it a bit dissapointing how he gets whooped on a weekly basis (on Asura Server he does).. It's as if he doesn't live up to the name HNM anymore. Seems to me like he's not a challenge now. Am I the only one that feels this way about him?
want to fight him.
# Aug 29 2005 at 11:33 AM Rating: Decent
Ok ive fought tiamat and jorm, but have yet to get in the killing allaicne for Vrta. Have gone many times to watch and help on adds... hoping for a invite when one of the SMNs in killing allaince goes down, yet to get one. Personaly form the looks of it Jorm seems to be more of a challenge due to the bombs and ice elmentals. And Vrta doesnt go airborne. Lots of BLMs in the add allaince its seems here, as wiht Jorm mostly BST to kite away Bombs adds and BLM for the elmentals. Tiatmat isnt even worth talking about. Senn him dropped byt 18x BST and the did it FAST. the few jorm battles ive been in SMN were the A+ DD for the fight. Blm has nothing a a SMN when it comes to WYRMs. 1k + DMG with spinning dive? {you can have this}

PS: fought jorm 3 times, each time we wiped when he was less the 10%, to much AOE. Full wipe means you start over, as by the time WHMs got 3-4 PPL up he was back to 100%, 3 hours gone, but much fun ww
RE: want to fight him.
# Aug 30 2005 at 1:19 AM Rating: Decent
Aye, that Regen they have is a total *****. Actually, Vrtra does indeed fly, however not nearly as much as Tiamat. But you're right he doesnt fly often enough to be a real problem. As far as Jorm goes though, The adds are indeed a pain in the ***, but the sheer power of Vrtra isn't to be shrugged off. Vrtra is a beast.

uhhh Vrtra does not fly. and i call BS on 18 BST's killing tiamat, he would tear through the pets with his wing aoe and one shot them with an attack. He crit's for upwards of 700 dmg when he's on mighty strike's.
alrite if u think you can do this...
# Aug 28 2005 at 2:33 AM Rating: Default
Alright, if you think you can do this good luck. Me and my friend Zimrathon just went in there in a 65 smn and hes a 75 nin, he had sneak up and walked behind it, and it agroed him truesight from behind, and he didnt have enough time to mijin gakure before he died... i warped out. i spent like 10 mins saying OMG! when i first saw it! that thing is the size of mt. everast! and it casting blm looks cool. well... if you beat it your probably on ffxi sterriods.

I don't know much about this nm, but this guy on my server *who is **** claimed he soloed this as a lvl 75 sam/smn.

Personally, I don't think this is soloable by a single sam/smn and that guy is just an asshat. But someone please comfirm my theory :\
RE: Soloable?
# Nov 20 2005 at 1:13 AM Rating: Decent
As a represenative of the Samurai community we are ashamed of this "asshat" and wish to cut any affileration with him. I'm sure the SMN community will do the same.
RE: Soloable?
# Aug 28 2005 at 3:47 AM Rating: Default
Ok, about this "asshat" on your server. Lets just say this, if he had two cents for everytime he LIED his *** off. I reckon he'd have at least two cents. This Beast is NOT soloable in any way shape or form. I know this. I've seen personally a full 75 6/6 party (not enough) party get wiped by him.. really quick. Nin/War, Nin/War, Rdm/Whm, Drg/War, Blm/Smn, Whm,Smn (and they're gear wasn't too shabby either). Although the second nin did miss his voke and the first nin dropped in TWO hits. Maybe because Vrtra used "Mighty Strikes" but who knows. Also, usually when he gets taken down it's by an ALLIANCE of 70-75 hardasses who kite him around. He flies around and really isn't able to be engaged in melee, much like Tiamat. I'm very sure that people have tried to solo him before. Maybe a Rdm/Nin with shadows and lots of "Chainspell" "Stun". They were most likely (definitely) Smeared all over the cave wall. But anyways, the answer two your solo query is a definite and very confident no. /end rant.

I can't say for sure one way or the other, but considering all I've read/heard about Vrtra....

I think it's safe to say he's a braggart and a liar. ^^'

Because not only are you just fighting Vrtra, but he summons a hoard of undead that I believe (though I'm not 100%) are all lvl 75 or higher to fight with him.

Soloable? I don't think so...

anyone tried using Indra Katars on this thing to see if there's any hidden effect? Wouldn't suprise me if SE did something like that.


yes i did and

"Perkins hits Vrtra for 48 points of damage"
"additional effect: 0 damage"

lol

gotta love that great additional effect

one thing i did notice was i never missed ok i had acc song on but i was also blinded and it was like 10 seconds before i got killed but with hundred fists i got in a good 20 hits before i died at at least 30+ dmg per hit

ps. hes actually a pansy he can be soloed by a lvl 1 whm they are only making this stuff up so no1 fights him!

me and my bud who was a 51 RDM at the time wanted to catch a glimpse of Vrtra and take a few pictures, sure we got down there thanks to my friend, but Vrtra was staring straight at us when all the sudden he says "INVISABLES WEARING! Run Away!" before we could turn around to run Vrtra aggrod me and hit me for 811 DMG as a 30PLD/15WAR with Protect 4 and Sentinal, it ate his Blink, Stoneskin, and Phalanx and hit him for 677 DMG, we swore 1 of 2 things: we'd never look at Vrtra again, or we would be back one day with a full alliance to kick **** (oh and we managed the screenshots too >.O)

Heh. While that's a bit sad and all, it wouldn't make much differance. He has True Sight, meaning he can see through Sneak/Invisible.

i was on my way to an xp party in Cape Terrigan when my ls said Vrtra was up. well me being a complete noob said what the hey lets go see him. so i threw on my whm 23 and subbed nin cause i couldnt remember if anything detected by sight. well i head to (H-8) i think thats right and i get to his room open the door and dont see him so i start to walk to the back and all of a sudden...there he was. i got about 10 screen shots off before he came and hit me for 701dmg ;_; he did dispelga before he tore be to pieces but it was definately cool to see him.

Vrtra = Wyrm
Guivre = Wyvern

Wyrm are the most difficult type of mob in the game while Wyvern can be exp'd on and you are able to regularely farm up items from them (in a party of course)

wyrms have wings and arms, wyverns have wings FOR arms, much like a horrendously overgrown bat. which is why dragoons' 2 hour should be called Summon Dragon, as its not a damn wyvern

For the next 3 days after Vrtra's been defeated or after server maintnence, his room makes a pretty good exp camp for a high 60s~low 70s PT. Plenty of mobs to pull but also some safe corners to pull to. Don't forget, you can pull from both sides of the door too so you will never run out of mobs. As with any undead PT, it's best if you have a MNK or 2 in the PT.
