Soloing Vipenalt 1-2

AnnaLaura - Heavens Tear

Heya,

This has been bothering me for a while now and I would really appreciate it if anyone with experience could help me out!

Certain people and guides on this forum told me as soon as vipenalts health gets under 50% the green hands show up, which is true.
But they also tell me if you don't move they won't clap.

But the problem is, whenever his health gets under 50% they do clap for me.
I don't move at all, all I do is heal the herc and my herc just simply attacks vipenalt. A friend told me its a bug that happen's 0.02% of the time.
But that can't be right.

I've asked it in world chat once, and they told me that the herc DOES move when he's attacking so, I went back in his dirty little room a few times and just put my herc on "halt mode" which means he's just sitting and not attacking or doing anything whatsoever.
(I was planning letting vipenalt kill himself of the hercs reflect, it takes long but hey I got the patience for it. :P)
But the hands still did clap, does anyone have any idea why.
Veno's have told me that they have done it successfully before and don't know why they keep clapping for me, so my last hope depends on this little topic here ^^;.

Wasted too many subs & exp on this guy, and I'm just really curious what I did wrong. Hope there's someone out there that can tell me how to do it right.

Thanks for reading, hopefully you got an answer ~

Ps. Yes I know you can pull him out of the room but that would be way too time consuming for me. And its nearly impossible to kill those mobs running in circles for me. (Yes I suck, don't bully me!b:surrender)

There are 3 hands in vipers room that do explode, they are usually the one along the the back wall. When you send your herc in let him attack a few times then pull him back and lure viper away from the wall once he is in the middle of the room your herc will be albe to attack without getting killed by the hands

Find the Guide from Tearvalerin

look at the picture

You must be centered in the room , somthing like between the latteral pillars, and center from the door

otherwise, the patrols will make hands around the room to explode

Thank you both very much for the quick reply, and yes I indeed always am in the middle of the room, that must be it haha. Gonna test it later on ^_^
Awesome, thank you both so much!

when vipenalt do kiss of death,
some guides tell u do not move for any reason
or clapping hands explodes and wipe your party
be, is not true
after Vipenal call the clapping hands
u can still move, but where?
just into the green circles when the people was at the moment exact of the clapping hand's spaw
in other words u can see some hands explodes and some hands no
u can still move where the hands dont explode
but u die if u go out of these

For the extra few seconds to do so, it is a total mitigation of a possible death by misadventure.
