  • Immune to Sleep, susceptible to Stun. Highly resistant to all enfeebles.

  • Has a potent auto-regen effect that cannot be dispelled.

  • Has a draw-in effect.

    • Pey: A skeleton Warrior

  • Grants title: Vrtra Vanquisher

  • Vrtra possesses the same abilities as his full strength counterpart in King Ranperre's Tomb, though has a decidedly lower amount of HP.

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).

well just went and watched 3 alliances of the best NA players on Fenrir get raped by Vrtra. Seems that once you get him down to about 90% health he spams his summons and the other alliances cant take the hate cause the suummons go straigt for the people with Vrtra hate, They tried again a second time i stuck around and got close enough to get hit with aoe and i even lived its not nearly as bad as u woudl think it is ima 49DRK with -20DEF and it stil lonly did 644 dmg. But yeah Vrtras just one big ugle *****. lol

This guy has been killed at least once on some server. Maybe not since then, but he has at least once. Here's proof

That pic is from Pandemonium. Simd is the most well-known HNMLS leader on that server.

Yep, he has multiple jobs at Lv75 and is the only MNK on Pandemonium that I've heard of that has the fully upgraded Spharai Knuckles. The coolest thing about that is he's a Taru too. I also know Digidude who took the screenshot. XD

Your right the armor is crafted, but look at the items used to craft it before you wave your misguided BS flag (If thats what you are doing). The items used to craft this body piece are only drop by Vrtra. I doubt any thief could steal from Vrtra. So Vrtra must have been killed. Please have knowledge before posting.
Defeated

don't know if anyone has said this yet (didn't bother looking through each and every post) but according to the link below, this HNM drops a level 71 helmet that has Provoke enchantment. Supposedly a JP LS (dunno what server) defeated it and got that as a drop.

Wanna see Vrtra's HP? Put on a parser and see how much damage is done when: 18 SAM's use Meikyo Shisui and go to town with Tachi: Enpi -> Tachi: Enpi -> You get it. Then... look at the fraction of his HP left.

...I think it's a cool idea...

If your Gonna Do this Find A bunch of retarded lv. 75 Sam's and have them 2hr it 1 after another and make lv. 3 light or dark sc's.

Again, you can not just TOSS things at her. Don't be silly. Your plan hinges on the fact that she won't mow them all down, put them to sleep or charm the lot of them. If it was that easy to kill her, BRD JSE wouldn't be in the multi-millions and NA shells wouldn't drop death en mass trying to kill her.

This was asked below...

...As far as I know, all of the 'CoP Dragons', being Vrtra, Jorgy and Tiamat are on a ~72hr timer. This is different than your 'standard' HNM which is a 21-24hr pop.
The lvl on this listed as 95 is pure conjecture... the only way to prove for certain would be to see what exp he gives when you kill him and work backward through EXP charts, so if anyone has that info, please post it.

Mind you the pop time is merely rumored and from some very sketchy intelligence and scouting my HNMLS has done. Only one LS on my server has tried any of the three... have killed the other two a few times now (and subsequently can kill Fafnir/Nid in <15min from practice), but still won't try this beast. They also don't exactly share secrets on tactics and spawn timers (and with good reason), so it's hard to figure any info on this out for certain yet.

I saw a post with drops where it gave 110xp. Assuming an 18 member alliance, that works out to 1070xp solo. The xp tables I've seen only go up to 800xp solo at +15, or level 90. I would guess that 1070xp would work out to level 93.

You really have no clue do you on how that would work, do you? No, she can take it just fine, thank you.

She would kill them all with a few AOE's. Sleep II AOE with damage effect? (Thanks for the offer, but i'll have to pass)
Honored to die

I went exploring as my 42 whm because I love casting sneak and inviz and exploring places I can't level at. I entered the lower part of the tomb and went all the way east and there he was, behind a big stone door. I opened the door, recast invis on myself again and walked up close to him. Stupid me failed to realize he has truesight so he aggroed me, casting Sleepga II, which made me laugh my *** off that I resisted it. He then hits me for 644 damage and down I go in one hit being a taru and low leveled and all. Here is a pic of the me getting sleepga II'ed.

Myth
# Jan 26 2005 at 1:47 PM Rating: Good
In Hinduism, Vritra ("the enveloper") was a serpent or dragon, the personification of drought and enemy of Indra.

According to the Rig Veda, Vritra stole all the water in the world until killed by Indra, who destroyed all ninety-nine fortresses of Vritra.

In a later version of the myth, Vritra was created by Tvashtri to get revenge for Indra's murder of his son, Trisiras. Vritra won the battle and swallowed Indra, but the other gods forced him to vomit Indra out. The battle continued and Indra fled. Vishnu and the rishis brokered a truce, and Indra swore he would not attack Vritra with anything made of metal, wood or stone, nor anything that was dry or wet, or during the day or the night. Indra used the foam from the waves of the ocean to kill him at twilight.

In one place in the Rig-Veda (6,61,7) Sarasvati is credited with killing the three-headed Vritra, which is also known as Ahi ("snake").

If you're going to copy something word for word, you might as well quote the source. This posting (as of 1/31/05 barring further editing) is an exact copy of the information found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vritra

The people at Wikipedia provide a great resource for everyone online. Please give them credit where it is due.

Edit: Somehow it added the period at the end of the URL to the actual URL. Removed that period so the link works.
