Maja the Dark Savant Boss Guide

Learn how to defeat Maja the Dark Savant in V Rising. This guide covers her location, recommended gear, and strategies for her unique attacks.

Alright, let's talk about Maja the Dark Savant. She's a level 47 boss, so you'll want to be around gear level 50 before you even think about challenging her, especially if you're going at it solo. Crafting the Hollowfang set from the Tailoring Bench should get you there. Also, try to snag the Scholar Blood Type from enemies in Silverlight Hills – it boosts your spell power and cuts down cooldowns, which is super handy.

Once you're geared up, open your V Blood menu, track Maja, and fast travel to the Vampiric Waygate northeast of Dunley Farmlands. From there, it's a short trek to the Forbidden Tower where Maja awaits.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Level: 47
• Recommended Gear Level: 50
• Recommended Blood Type: Scholar (for spell power and cooldown reduction)

Phases:

1. Maja uses a variety of magic-based attacks and summons adds.
2. The fight is contained within the Forbidden Tower, offering limited space to maneuver.

Strategy:

• Maja is a tough one, so brute force won't cut it. You'll need a solid strategy.
• The tower is cramped, so use your skills wisely to dodge her attacks, which tend to cover a lot of the space.
• Keep your distance and chip away at her health with blood magic spells. This lets you leech health back, keeping you in the fight longer.
• When she starts attacking aggressively, focus on dodging her moves before going back on the offensive.
• Summoning Bolt: She'll fire a single bolt. If you're far enough away, just sidestep it. If it hits, it summons an add that you should deal with quickly.
• Shield Channeling: Maja summons multiple adds. If you don't kill them fast enough, she'll absorb them with her shield to heal herself and summon more. Use Ward of the Damned here to block her melee attacks.
• Homing Books: She'll launch 3-6 books at you. The best way to avoid these is to save your dash and use it just as they reach you – the invincibility frames will save you. Alternatively, you can shoot them down with a bow before they hit.
