V Rising 1.1 boss guide for Dantos the Forgebinder, covering location, key attacks, Normal and Brutal Mode strategy, rewards and progression.
Dantos the Forgebinder is part of the Risen Ancients V Rising 1.1 boss-guide progression. This guide covers where to find the encounter, the attacks that matter, a practical Normal strategy, Brutal Mode considerations and the progression rewards.
Verified 1.1 level: 82
Location: Venom Blades Bastion forge, Oakveil Woodlands.
Forge furnaces: four furnaces surround the arena and become part of Dantos' attack patterns.
Earthquake: Dantos moves toward the centre and generates dangerous shockwaves while the furnaces add projectile pressure.
Slam: Dantos leaps and brings his hammer down at the player's position.
Patience is more valuable than burst damage. Track the furnace patterns, keep moving during earthquake sequences and only commit to attacks once you know where the next environmental hazard is coming from.
Confirmed 1.1 Brutal footage shows the same furnace-centred encounter can be completed cleanly with disciplined movement. Reliable current evidence does not establish a separate additional 1.1 Brutal-only move strongly enough to state one as fact.
Dantos unlocks the Fusion Forge, Ember Glass and a Tier 2 Frost Spell Point.
