Some newer findings, as well as better explanation on the backhop exploit from my understanding, as best I could.

i) I'm not sure whether this applies to all weak wind pressure, but this applies to Arch Tempered Vaal's wind pressure. We can negate it entirely with certain move of most weapons. This include the wind pressure from it's roaring belly flop, which as mentioned in ep.2 to be different from its backhop wind pressure.

ii) Vaal is particularly sensitive while roaring. It seems that attacking it during that time causes it to backhop without first returning to a roaming state. Not to mention if Vaal flinches during then, it immediately knows where the player is.

iii) The backhop is triggered by Vaal registering a hit while the player is within a certain distance from it. Too far and Vaal will nonchalantly turn to look at the player. I would not know who Vaal would turn to look at in multiplayer though.

iv) Along with the wake up hit from the previous few videos, it seems that status ailments do not break the loop. Switch Axe's Zero-Sum Discharge doesn't affect it either. The same thing cannot be said about mounting though.

02:38 The rest of the video is some casual runs with other weapons. Nothing much to add beyond what's shown in the clips, and all cases have been explained here and in previous episodes. The one with the bow is particularly horrible, but it was funny enough to warrant inclusion. I did vary some of them a bit with the way I initiated the loop, just for fun.

Anyone opting for a non-aggro Capture Net slay of Arch Tempered Vaal Hazak? Although I doubt 50 minutes is enough time for that.
