At the beginning of your Rune Slayer journey, you're put in a cave with some formidable foes including the Skeletons and the Vampiric Dragon Lord. Although this is the preface and it's not mandatory to beat the massive beast, you can follow an easy trick to subdue it and obtain the Vampiric Ring reward.
How to easily defeat the Vampiric Dragon Lord in Rune Slayer - Unlock Vampiric Ring
Firstly, you need to start afresh with a new character which you can do by purchasing a new slot for 150 Robux or deleting the existing build if you don't have much progress. Select any species, clothing, and color as these stats aren't relevant to this strategy. In the next step, make sure to equip the Magician class as I've shown in the first image above. Thereafter, drag and drop the Magic Arrow to the ability slot (see second image) to finish building your character.
If you're a beginner, I want you to remember some keybinds that you'll need before proceeding further:
- Double Tap W: Sprint
- X: Equip weapon
- Q: Dash
After spawning inside the cave, I suggest avoiding battling the Skeletons to save time as they often respawn. You can easily outrun them and they will not chase you after a certain range. Dodging these creatures, run straight to the edge of the map to call in the Vampiric Dragon Lord, who'll appear from the sky.
Once the Dragon Lord has spawned, you need to be quick to lure it into the part of the cave where it gets stuck and you can then easily eliminate it from a distance. Run back to where you came from, avoiding the Skeletons, and make sure the beast isn't too far away (see first image above). Don't be afraid if you get hit by the Dragon's attacks a few times. You can avoid these by using dash and sprinting away. Hug the wall on your left and enter the small opening (second image). This is where the huge monster is supposed to get stuck as you can see in the third picture (it may take a few tries as this is a glitch).
The Vampiric Dragon Lord will remain immobile and will no longer attack you, just make sure not to move too much as he may attempt to chase you and break free. Now comes the easy part, i.e., exploiting this bug to take down the beast from afar using your Magician class skills. Aim at the Dragon Lord's exposed body part (wings in my case) and press 1 to release Magic Arrows, subsequently after cooldown.
Do this a few times (it takes five to seven shots) and you'll be able to defeat your first boss in no time. Because the Vampire Dragon Lord's HP bar is quite massive, you only have to damage 40% of it to beat the monster. If the blue bar under your character's health bar goes to 0, wait a few seconds for it to replenish you can use the Magic Arrow again.
Rune Slayer Vampiric Ring Details
After you've defeated the Vampiric Dragon Lord, either by exploiting this flaw or eliminating it using your combat skills, you'll be awarded the Vampiric Ring as you spawn into the Wayshire village. It's described as one of the Seven Dragon Rings belonging to Velor Yth Carven, i.e., the Vampiric Dragon Lord. This soulbound ring stays on your character and grants an HP boost upon successfully landing a weapon art move. The amount of health replenished increases as you level up which makes the Vampiric Ring a beneficial item to obtain in Rune Slayer.
