Conquering the Ancient Vulture in Necesse
Alright, adventurers, buckle up! It’s time to face one of the most chaotic bosses in Necesse—the Necesse Ancient Vulture. If you’ve made it this far, you’re no stranger to intense fights, but this one? It’s an unpredictable whirlwind of eggs, projectiles, and frantic dodging. Ready to clip this big bird’s wings? Let’s jump in.
The Summoning Ritual: Calling the Ancient Vulture
To summon the Necesse Ancient Vulture, you’ll need an Ancient Statue and a good helping of courage. Head over to the desert biome, find a flat and open space (trust me, you’ll need the room), and get ready to face the fifth boss of Necesse.
Once summoned, the Ancient Vulture will make a dramatic entrance, flying in circles like it’s surveying its prey. Spoiler alert: that’s you.
Phase 1: Eggs Everywhere
In its opening act, the Necesse Ancient Vulture loves dropping vulture eggs like confetti. But don’t let these cute little ovals fool you—they’re bad news.
Fail to smash them, and they’ll hatch into aggressive vultures that are more than happy to gang up on you. Your best bet? Stay mobile and take out the eggs as soon as they hit the ground. Use ranged attacks or AoE weapons to keep things under control.
Oh, and remember: the Ancient Vulture’s movements are as erratic as your internet during a crucial boss fight. Keep an eye on its flight path and avoid getting caught off guard.
Phase 2: Direct Assault
When the Ancient Vulture’s done with its egg party, it switches tactics. Now, it’ll swoop down directly over you and start firing projectiles your way. This is where the fight gets tricky, as the vulture’s aim can feel personal.
The key here is to stay light on your feet. Strafing, dodging, and keeping your health topped up are essential. If you’re rocking ranged weapons, this is your time to shine. Summoner builds can also excel here, letting your minions deal damage while you focus on surviving.
A Village Tactic: Risk and Reward
One unconventional strategy for this fight is to summon the Necesse Ancient Vulture in a desert village. Why? Because the NPCs there will jump into the fray and help you take down the boss.
But before you head into the village with reckless abandon, there are a few caveats to consider:
- Friendly fire is a thing. If you’re not using a summoner build, your weapons might hurt NPCs, and trust me, you don’t want an angry village on your hands.
- Armor matters. Avoid swamp armor, as it has a nasty habit of making NPCs hostile. Stick with armor sets that won’t accidentally trigger a brawl.
- Control the chaos. NPCs are helpful but not invincible. Keep an eye on their health and try not to let them get overwhelmed by eggs or projectiles.
While the village strategy can make the fight easier, it requires careful planning and execution to avoid turning allies into enemies.
Tips for Victory
- Prep Your Gear: Bring your best ranged weapon and stock up on potions—health, mana, and regeneration potions are must-haves. If you’re a summoner, make sure your minions are optimized for aerial combat.
- Clear the Field: Don’t let eggs linger. The fewer hatched vultures you have to deal with, the smoother the fight will be.
- Watch Your Step: The Ancient Vulture’s projectiles can come fast and furious. Practice your dodging skills and keep moving to avoid being an easy target.
- Banner Buffs: If you’ve got banner stands, place them in the desert to give yourself a combat edge. Every little advantage counts in this fight.

FAQs
Ancient Vulture, the fifth boss, can be summoned in the desert with an Ancient Statue. First, it flies in circles, spawning vulture eggs that, if not destroyed, will hatch and fight you. Be cautious, as his actions are unpredictable! Later, it flies right over the player, launching projectiles at them.
The only way to kill him is in a desert village since NPCs will assist you there, but you will be unable to use weapons (save for the summoner) and your armor should not be non-swamp; otherwise, you will inadvertently harm the NPCs, who will attack you.
