Guivre in Kuftal Tunnel

Guivre's Spawn Location
Guivre's Spawn Location

    • After spawning, Guivre will freely roam from its spawn point to the area around the Sabotender Sediendos and back.

  • Respawns roughly 21-24 hours after its last ToD.

Guivre in Ruhotz Silvermines

  • Appears in the Ruhotz Silvermines as a result of being warped there by the Sandworm ability, Doomvoid.

  • The Guivre that appears in Ruhotz is a more powerful version of the one that appears in Kuftal Tunnel, and this battle is on a 60 minute timer, after which you will be warped out.

  • Has an auto-regen effect that cannot be dispelled.

  • Will "run" from the fight every time its hp drops by 10%.

    • While it is running away, it is immune to damage and enmity building effects, and resets the enmity of everyone in the battlefield.

Guivre Special Attacks

  • Radiant Breath: Frontal cone AoE Light based magic damage with an additional Slow and Silence effect.

  • Dread Shriek: AoE Paralysis effect.

  • Deadly Drive: Single target physical damage.

  • Fang Rush: Single target three hit physical attack.

  • Dispelling Wind: AoE Dispel effect.

  • Wind Wall: Self target Evasion boost. (Effect can be dispelled).

  • Tail Crush: Single target physical damage with an additional Poison effect.

Historical Information

The Guivre, in French legend, is a wingless dragon capable of expelling venomous miasma from its mouth that killed plants and infected people that inhaled its fumes with pestilence. It was said to have a tendency to keep treasures it would find and coil about them.

This does not have true sight, as I have never been spotted and/or killed by it except the time we tried to kill it with a pld tank. One cool note though, This guy is excellent for mpking gillsellers in the amemit room. So many good laughs.

This sucker has true sight. The other day I was omw to Cape to pt. I didn't know the way so I was on Auto-follow behind the whm. I see him and click him and say <T> on LS everyone shout's RUN! I'm like why I have Sneak invs on well I found out soon enough. He runs right up to me and hits me twice once for 572 and then for 582 I had 575 HP at the time friggin over kill. I dleveled and had to wait to get a raise. Then the rdm got aggroed by a crab and guivre was coming right at us I warped without thinking twice and then had to blist half the pt cuz they kept calling me and noob and that I sucked ***.

When I get my HNMLS high enough I'mma gonna over kill his *** right back to hell its my life goal. Him and the Sea Horror on the ferry I hate them more than anything else!

LOL when you get your HNMLS high enough huh? Better start checking the background on mobs otherwise you won't be a successful LS. I watched a few 75 NINs smoke him the other day. Was 2 NINs and 2 others not sure of the others, he's not that tough of a NM actually, speaking from their lvl perspective.

Have an interesting story...

Was skilling up in Kuftal with my 75 and 62 PLD friends (I am 62 WHM) and Guivre came running by like he usually does, wiping out all the xp parties there. 62 PLD runs back to Rabao and changes to his 74 THF, we have our 75 RDM friend and 70+ BRD (not sure of exact lvl) and a 62 DRK come. THF tanked, PLD sub-tanked by Flashing when THF needed to get shadows up, all RDM's enfeebles stuck, BRD used attack speed and evasion up songs, and DRK absorbed stats and used Stun. I was restricted to Regen and Haste because of the amount of hate my cures would do (compared to the little damage melees were doing). I recorded the whole fight and it lasted about 34 minutes. The DRK died in the beginning of the fight and was raised by another WHM standing by. Other than that, the only casualty was Guivre himself...34 minutes and he was dead.
I was completely shocked, I thought it was a death wish going into it, but I said, hey what the hell, it should be fun to say the least! Working on an LS website, gonna find a way to put the video on the site.
We were so elated that we actually did it, no one really cared that we didn't get one single drop =P
oooooo

The amemit gilseller THFs always run up to it, hit it, and then use hide, for fun I guess. no true sight, no nothing.

So add this to your info.

Lol I finaly got my revenge this thing puts up a tough fight though >.<. My Self and a 75 war were skilling up the other day when she poped and started killing a bunch of low lvls. so we gathered a few ppl and set up a party to fight it. full party of 75's and it still killed us >.<. then an other party of 73+ came and attacked her just to get wiped out lol. well they were fighting we raised and called in re-enforcments got an alliance of 70+ was a little over kill but it worked. Its a useless NM skull is only worth about 80k on my server but i wasnt selling it. i got a trophy for all the time this @#$#$ killed me well i was doing my NIN AF long ago lol. Fun to kill though and ppl will always volenter cause all want revenge and i am stoked to have got mine.
Oh and a party of 75'S can beat it But it would be best to have NIN tank with BRD for double evasion pld wont work to well cause it hits for 300+ and it attacks fast.. First time out pld tanked and got wooped.

"she must cause i ran up saw her with sneak and invis and deoderize on just to make sure and bam got hit 2 times and was dead same happened with our rdm and smn "

Except NO, and you are a liar

Has True Sight...Just died...End of story.

(Sneak/Invisible/Deoderize)

He came towards me, aggro'd me, and ate me for lunch.

=)

Except NO, and you too are a liar

had a little run in with this guy while heading to vally of sorrows. And yes, i had sneak invis up, and yes, he killed me very very quickly. 530+
damage a hit. Unless my sneak and invis wore off for absolutly no reason, this HNM has true sight.

:P

And finally, our last liar.

Its great when you actually go and experience things for yourself. Sneak, Deodorize, Invis, while a bunch of lvl 55s shout your going to die, only to have the /target you while you run right up to guivre. And never get agrod, simply because your smart enough to back off when your sneak, invis, or deodorize, starts to wear.

If your going to follow guivre around, remember, it moves quickly, and has a VERY odd habit of stopping, looking in every direction, then moving again. My guess is, most of these tards who say he has true sight, let invis drop, then guivre stopped, spun around, and they went down. If you think im lying, go ahead and see for yourself, but i know for certain it does NOT NOT NOT have true sight. Ash dragon in ifrits cauldron, now thats a dragon/wyvern that does have true sight >.<

Ash Dragon does not have true sight, i have pictures of myself standing in front of it with sneak/invis on and waving at it while it walked through me to the other side of the room.

Cant speak for Guivre though, only time ive seen him i did not have invis on and only lasted long enough for him to hit me twice for 500+ dmg each.

Little note about sighted mobs that aggro (different then sighted mobs for you thf's out there that steal and hide:). They will aggro if you bump into them. Don't know what the deal is, I have had some near misses, but everytime I have run through a gob, or other sight aggroing mob while invised, my invis drops, and they get a good whack on me for bumping into them. Now, personally, I have not run into this mob (literally, or figuratively;), but I am sure that was the case for the ppl who say this has true sight. just give mobs a fair distance when invised... bumping into them can cost you your life.

Wow, we saw Guivre last night while exp-ing. I initially had no idea where it spawned, but I remember reading something about him being near Amemet's spawn point. Then we saw Amemet...

We were in the middle of fighting a Robber Crab when I saw "<name> was defeated by Guivre" and I knew trouble was up. Very fortunately for us, we were the other side of the hall against the wall and he didn't come close to our party. We were trapped in that room at one point and couldn't Escape because elementals were everywhere. Not a nice feeling, stuck between a huge wyvern and 3 - 4 Fire Elementals.

Guivre runs around the tunnels in a circle, it won't deviate from its strict route unless it aggros someone. Another party decided to set up camp where Amemet spawns and before we could warn them, ol' bad boy appears and starts killing. I did so many Tractors last night, I actually skilled up doing them... :)

Just today there was an alliance of ALL my favorite gil sellers on Shiva- the Gards, Superstars, and -Wangcais fighting Guivre... and dam did they get owned. Every time their nin tank lost hate, a mage died in 2 hits. Their tank lasted about 10 mins, then a thf/nin tanked it before about 8 were dead. I was omw to a pt so didnt see how it ended ^^ but it was at the zone earlier so im guessing they died again. And Amemet was there behind them too lol. If u want really bad screenshots email me at azn_invazion60609@yahoo.com

Here's a pic I took of Guivre last night while he was running around (he had actually stopped at this point which seemed to be rare...)

I had sneak and invis up at the time of that shot but no Deodorize. So he does not agro by smell, he will not agro through Sneak, and I'm pretty certain he won't agro through Invis. While I am on his side, I am still slightly in front and I've had gobs agro me from angles like this. And while it's also taken in first person perspective, I am definitely within agro range (sometimes hard to tell in 1st person).

What I've heard about this mob, and what I've experienced is that he does hit for over 500 per hit. 531 on me to be exact, but I'm just a level 58 blm. Also, I've heard he has true sight so sneak/invis doesn't matter, he'll still agro you. The best thing to do when seeing this mob is to escape out, or get an alliance of 75s to take him out. I don't recommend coming anywhere near him as before you know it, you'll be looking at the sky (Elvaan) or eating dirt...

I saw this ******* 2 nights ago (Pandy) xp'ing in Kuftal in the big room where alot of Sand Lizards spawn (and I think that one NM lizard Amesomething.)

Here's how it went during our what was soon to be last crab fight for the night:
me: /sh holy ****
me: /sh holy ****
me: /sh holy ****
pt member: "what dude?"
me: /sh Guivre sighted
pt: {hmmm.}
me: look behind you

Less than a minute later I see 2 ppl dead. meanwhile, it's just running along through the tunnel waiting for someone stupid enough to get near it. Scared the crap out of me. I was planning on sticking around because I wanted to get a better screenshot of it without getting in its face, when I got killed by a Robber Crab :/

Btw, someone told me that this thing spawns in Cape Terrigan. Was wondering if anyone can confirm if this was true/false? Also, that more than one of these things can spawn. Thanks in advance
