Many players of the new MMORPG New World are currently wondering how to defeat Alastor or how to find him at all. Getting hold of and tracking down the nasty wizard is not as simple as it sounds. This is due to a common problem with new MMORPGs. We will show you how to find and defeat Alastor.
How do you find Alastor the Vigilant? At the end of the quest “The Ritual,” you should encounter the boss fight against Alastor the Vigilant. You will find him on a platform corresponding to the quest marker. At least you should find him there, as he can sometimes be unfindable.
This is due to a typical MMORPG problem: Boss fights in New World do not take place in instances, but in the normal world. The boss spawns for everyone, not just for you. So it might well be that you arrive and have to wait for the boss.
Amazon also tells players that they can reload the quest section via the journal (key “J”) and then have another chance at the boss. Alternatively, according to Amazon, you could simply restart the game. We would only recommend doing this if you are on a server without long login queues.
Another tip from us: Don’t go through the blue veil before you have defeated Alastor the Vigilant. Players increasingly report bugs in the quest after doing exactly this (via newworld.com).
How to defeat Alastor the Vigilant
How do you best fight against Alastor? Alastor himself is a wizard who relies on ranged combat. However, he is accompanied by two to three skeleton warriors who deal significant damage in melee. You should take care of them first while simply running away from Alastor.
You can see the fight against Alastor in this video:
Once you have defeated the skeleton warriors, you can easily rush at Alastor. He is relatively defenseless in melee and should not pose too much of a challenge. Once you have defeated Alastor the Vigilant, the quest is complete.
You do not necessarily need to deliver the final blow to the boss to complete the quest “The Ritual.” It is enough if you participated in the fight, meaning that you dealt some damage.
While you wait for the boss fight, you can also take a look at how exactly attributes work in New World.
