Vana'diel Bestiary: Guivre  

Does anyone know where his spawn point is?

My PT was in Kuftal last night heading to Cape Terrigan. After passing the first room of robber crabs, I came across a dead whm on the first downhill. I'm 64BLM/WHM and I decided to tractor this person a little further away from the crabs. I thought perhaps sneak failed and he was assaulted by a lot of crabs and died.

So my PT waited near me and I asked the person if Raise 1 was ok (my PT had no whm). The person said yes and I began to raise. I panned the camera around while I was raising and I see Guiver looking at me. I didn't understand where he had come from since I had just passed that first crab area without seeing him. Nevertheless he was at the top of the hill looking at my PT.

I ran during the raise and didnt have a chance to say anything to anyone in my PT. He started taking us out 1 by 1 in 2 hits. 3 died, I survived and did Escape with 1 other. The other person seemed to have ran back to the entrance while it was killing the rest.

I came back in and tractored one of my PT members and got a Raise II for them from a whm in another PT. The other 2 were apparently being helped by some other kind PTs.

Guiver was no where to be seen and I thought it would be safe to go to Cape Terrigan. I went down the hill and into the big room and began up the 2nd hill. I stopped there because there was someone standing looking as though they might need help. Then I look back and Guiver is coming straight toward us fast. So I run (I think it killed the person I stopped next to) and next thing I know Invis and Sneak are fading. I keep running anyway because Guiver didn't seem to be stopping. Then I got aggroed by a crab after sneak went away. I turn the corner thinking maybe Guiver will stop or continue the other path. I cast sleep II on the crab and during my cast I see Guiver coming.

Guiver hit me for about 360 dmg then 480 dmg and I died. I probably should have escaped when I saw him but he would have seen through sneak and invis anyway most likely and I still would have died before casting the spell. Once Guiver stopped marching triumphantly all over my carcus, a whm tractored and Raise II'ed me.

I've only seen a Guiver massacre once before this and he seems to be able to 2-3 hit kill just about anyone. He also seems to have a tendency to show up out of no where.

This should work now -_-

i just got killed twice by it, it's 2 times faster than tiger and it removes your sneak/invis if it sees u... 1 normal hit got me 500+hp down.. 2 shots i died... never had a chance to run... lvl65 pt can't kill it...

lol Guivre remove your sneak/invis its the same with near all HNM in this game

The skull is used to make the ultra high level dragoon armour ( level 75 ).

This thing decimated my level 55 group when it spawned on top of us one shotting the main tank who had defender and sentinel up at the time ^^

Yeah, saw this thing when going through Kuftal one day. It didn't aggro thanks to sneak/invis, but it moved faaaaaast. I tried to take screenshots, and barely got a couple. If you wanna see or something, my e-mail address is lqdzz@hotmail.com

Its not a dragon.

Dragons...I leve 'em.
I will be happy to face this one someday. But I'm only lv31 Dragoon. When the time comes, I will show him no mercy^^
