#technically you can also do red green blue for vateshran and get magicka and stamina buffs but i feel like health is more useful

for vateshran, you can get buffs to your stats depending on what order you do the portals in. for magicka and health bonuses if you're on a magicka build, you want to do green, blue, red. for health and stamina for a stam character: blue, red, green.

also, if you're struggling with the ring of death mechanic in the final boss of vateshran where you have to kill one of the dudes to make a gap or if you simply want to ignore it, if you're playing on a class that has a teleport ability, like sorcerer's streak (or nightblade's shade teleport or ambush or the arc portal or any other teleport i'm forgetting) you can just teleport out of the circle and ignore the mechanic. unless they've changed it since i last did it.

for maelstrom. the two arenas i struggled the most with were the ice giant final boss and the poison arena. for the ice giant boss, because everything with her is percentage based, slowing down your damage can be helpful. she'll break the ice platforms atcwrtain percentages, and if there's too many adds up when you're getting towards thw final one it can be really hard to kill her without dying. so kill adds first. the trolls are priority always. once you're on the last platform just focus on killing the boss, sincw when she breaks that platform, that's instant death. if you have a hard time with that, you can make the platform with the damage buff sigil your last platform so you can grab that for that final bit of damage.

the poison level honestly i still struggle with somewhat. stay out of the archer dude's cones, they'll apply volatile poison to you. if you're careful, you can deliberately trigger some poison flowers and get out fast enough you don't get poisoned to get them out the way for a bit, but that can be risky. for the final boss, you'll have to kill one argonian minder and get under the shield created by the second one to protect you from the boss's scream. having any aoe centered on you or any form of damage you can't target away from the munder during this part is dangerous, since it can kill the minder that's shielding you.

that's all that came to mind off the top of my head, at least. hopefully at least some of that was helpful? people have probably mentioned this but if you're struggling with survival the pale order ring can be helpful

edit: small addition. the quests you get for these arenas save your progress so you can always leave and come back later if you need to.

anyone have tips for vateshran hallows and maelstrom arena veteran modes?

im practicing with normal but i breeze through them so fast that im like “ugh.”
