Matka is one of the late games mini-bosses that is very hard and truly painful to take down. She will constantly keep casting and throwing something your way and you will be extremely limited in the fighting area around her. Let’s see how to find her and the best ways of taking her down.
V Rising – Matka The Curse Weaver Location
Same as every mini-boss that you want to defeat in order to get their rewards, you will need to build a Blood Altar. To unlock it, you will simply have to play through the story a bit and you shall be able to craft it.
Once built, walk next to it and interact with it. Now on the left side, you will see a list with all the monsters/creatures you can track and kill. Here you will see Matka The Curse Weaver. She is a level 72 beast which is very tanky and somewhat hard to defeat. She does a fairly useful reward that you might go after – The Mosquito.
You can press the Track Blood button and you shall start to sense her blood in her general direction. You can follow the pathway to get to her. You will see on your top left Tracking the blood of Matka the Curse Weaver(I can sense my prey in the distance) and you know you are on the right track.
This mini-boss, unlike many others, will actually be simple and easy to find. She does not roam usually and he even has her own place marked on the map – Nest of the Curse Weaver. This is located in the top left corner of the Cursed Forest.
She will be sitting inside peacefully inside his little witch home. This means that you can get the jump on him which is a good thing. You can lay out your burst damage and deal as much as you can while she doesn’t expect it.
She will start defending herself with long-range attacks. This will come in the form of green flying almost poison-looking things that come towards you. They do fairly big enough damage but they should be easily avoidable.
If you see a green circle starting to appear around you make a run for it. Do not stay inside of these circles as they will do a lot of damage to you. They will first do a little, and then explode and do AoE damage in the vicinity.
She can do a long-range attack with 3 flying green things coming your way. This might catch you off guard so keep your distance.
If you see her channeling some spell with her left hand, it means little green attacks will start raining upon you. Just run around in a circle and you can dodge them completely.
When she raises her stick and the ground lights up around her, it means she is doing the big AoE attack where she sends everything your way. This is the biggest attack you’re trying to dodge. You can even shapeshift into a faster creature to stay out of her way.
She can transform into a little ground creature, this means that she will spawn and move little enemies towards you. Just defeat them one by one.
The thing with Matka is that she will keep throwing something your way. The problem is that you do not have such a big space to roam around freely as to dodge these attacks. This means that you won’t be able to do a lot of damage in a short period of time. Just be patient, keep dodging everything, and when you can return fire toward her. It might take a while but this is the best strategy.
When she is down walk next to her, hold F and extract her blood to get her rewards. Good luck!
