V Rising Winged Horror: Location & Boss Fight

In this game, you have to progress your castle and character, and like every survival game, you have to defeat bosses. In V Rising there are Leandra the Shadow Priestess, Putrid Rat, and many more.

One such end-level boss is the Winged Horror. This guide will help you on your journey to defeat the winged horror.

Winged Horror Location

The Winged Horror is a wandering V-Blood Boss who may be found by using the Blood Altar to track it down. Ultimately it will lead you to The Dread Peak in the Farbane Wood’s easternmost section.

The Winged Horror is a level 78 V-Blood Boss, so your gear level needs to be at least level 78 or more. There is another early game boss in Farbane Woods, Keely Frost Archer and if you defeat her you will unlock leather.

Recommended Gear Set

This is a pretty hefty boss so you should have some of the best gear in the game. Read our V Rising Gear Progression guide and learn an easy way to upgrade your gear score.

Firstly you will need a ranged weapon like a crossbow or a simple bow which should be of high level. Next, you require some of the best armor sets and the best weapons in V Rising. To craft these weapons and armor you will need some resources like Unsullied Hearts, Glass, Soul Shards, and more.

The best abilities you must have are the ability to block any type of attack thrown your way. For that, we recommend Ward of the Damned.

Another ability you require is the Veil of Chaos for traveling, and for damage use the Chaos Valley and Rain Of Bolts. Lastly for the ultimate ability use the Heart Strike ability to gain Health Points (HP) while dealing damage.

Winged Horror Boss Fight Strategy

The Winged Horror is an end-level boss so naturally, it has a large health bar and tremendous power. Another factor that makes him a difficult boss is that you have to fight him in the sun as he will be roaming outside.

Start the fight by using the Chaos Valley and Rain of bolts on the Winged Horror. It will put a burning effect on the boss. Since you have the burning effect started, quickly follow it with arrows from afar. This will be the strategy for the fight.

1. Initiation: Start with Chaos Valley and Rain of Bolts to inflict burning, then use arrows from a distance.
2. Charge Attack: Dodge by strafing and avoid star-shaped energy balls.
3. Aerial Fire Orb: Avoid fire orbs on the ground and capitalize on his vulnerable state afterward.
4. Frost Attack: Stay out of the indicated circle; if hit, you’ll experience chills.
5. Distance and Damage: Keep your distance, use abilities and arrows to deal damage.

Boss Fight Reward

Once you have defeated the boss feed on his V Blood to unlock the Frost Vortex ability. The Frost Vortex enables vampires to use a frost attack that does 100% magic damage. As well as pulling them towards the center of the storm. It lasts for a couple of seconds. It will also give deadly Chills to enemies.

This brings us to the end of our Winged Horror Guide in which we discussed the location, powers, and the recommended setup to defeat the level 78 Winged Horror.
