Lost Ark Valtan Gate 2 Guide

LSOT AK Valtan Guide: Gate 2 (SHORT VERSION)

Phase 1

In Phase 1 of Valtan, the main objective is to remove both of his armor plates before his health bar drops to 130. Achieving this involves using “corrosive” attacks to break his shield first, followed by destruction skills to shatter his armor. Each party member should ideally pick up a blue orb, although this step can be skipped if you’re implementing a cheese strategy. If you’re in need of resources, Buy Lost Ark Gold to bolster your character and enhance your gameplay in challenging encounters like this one.

• Cheese Strategy: Use Balthor, a powerful destruction skill that takes time to cast. Cast Balthor as soon as his health bar reaches 130%. Balthor is very effective at breaking Valtan’s armor.
  

Valtan will use a giant AOE attack that requires you to be on the edges of the arena to dodge. The edges of the arena are only open after Valtan attacks them. The top and bottom edges are always open.

• Note: You must have a blue orb buff on each player to complete this phase.
  

Phase 2

Valtan will spawn pillars in this phase. The first pillar that gets hit will always explode first. This is important to remember when dodging attacks later in the fight.

• Note: You cannot use timestop while in the red zone. You must leave the red zone and enter the yellow zone to use timestop.
  

Phase 3

In this phase, Valtan will be in a giant red ball. He will throw the ball around the arena. Players will get knocked off of the arena if they are hit by the ball.

• Note: Getting knocked off of the arena is instant death. You cannot walk back onto the arena, but you can use movement skills to get back.
  

Phase 5

Valtan will summon pillars that explode when destroyed. You can dodge this attack by running towards the pillar that explodes first.

• Note: Be careful of any follow-up attacks as the arena is small, so you have a higher chance of getting knocked off.
  

Phase 6

Valtan will have several attacks. The sequence of attacks is:

• Four cone attacks
  
• An AOE attack that appears under Valtan
  
• Valtan attacks in front of the pillar
  
• Valtan attacks outside of the pillar, causing the pillar to spawn. Players need to hide behind the pillar.
  
• The pillar explodes. Players need to move to a safe zone.
  

You can use Balthor and timestop to help you survive through these attacks.

• Note: A trick is to stand in front of Valtan and count to three after he starts punching. You can then use timestop to avoid getting hit by his attacks.
  

Important Mechanics to Know

• Valtan’s charge attack can be countered, but it is only worth countering when it is red.
  
• Valtan’s attack will be inside if the axe is glowing, and it will be outside if it is not glowing.
  
• The first step to breaking Valtan’s shield is to do high damage. You can then stagger him.
  
• When Valtan lands on a player, that is where the safe zone will be.
  
• Four orbs will appear in the arena. One player needs to collect all four orbs and counter Valtan.
  
• Valtan will use a memory pizza attack. Dodge the first pizza, then dash towards the area where the pizza was thrown to avoid the attack.
  
• Valtan will do three counter attacks. One person should go out and counter each one. After countering, walk away from Valtan to avoid silencing your party. The third counter attack will wipe, so everyone who has not countered should try to counter it.
  
• In hard mode, the orbs will explode on contact.
