General Information
 Vouivre's Spawn Location
Vouivre Special Attacks
Historical InformationIn French folklore, the Vouivre was a single eyed dragon with scales so brilliant that they sparkled like diamonds. Like other dragons of French legend, the Vouivre was said to be a treasure hoarder, often coming out on Palm Sunday to spread out its collection and admire it. It would often ambush any treasure seekers that stumbled upon its precious items by overturning the rocks it would hide them under.

Me, 75NIN, a 75 WHM, and a 63 BRD were hunting for skulls when we saw this guy. We claimed him, and fought him for 30 minutes and got him down to 50% life, when 2 RNG friends and a WHM showed up to help us kill him. They sped up the fight, but we could have easily killed him with just the 3. He only landed a few regular hits on me, even with triple attack. This NM is very easy.

What you need to kill this Wyvren.
NIN, RDM, WHM, BLM, BRD, DRG. thats it.
NIN tanks facing away from mages. RDM casts Poison + Bio BLM nukes MILDLY, BRD uses the slow song on Vouivre and Evasion song on NIN, DRG uses Ancient Circle every 10 mins. however.
This is a risky pt but u can do it, he regens hp quickly so with this set up fight could last you 2 hours leaving u very vaunerable to bomb aggro. i would very much so recomend you taking a BST that can charm a lizard to fight and lure the bombs away. but a better party for all of this would be.
NIN BLM BLM RDM BRD WHM BRD RNG RNG THF DRG SMN SMN.
this pt would be for a simple "hey lets go kill Vouivre in 3 min pt."
NIN tanks facing away from mages. BLM's Nuke. RDM enfeebles MUST KEEP SILENCE on vouivre, 1st BRD uses MP song on mages and Evasion songs on NIN, WHM heals and try keeping a flash on it once in a while, 2nd brd in 2nd party uses Attack +songs or acc i prefer attack RNG's be RNG's and make new holes in places, THF SATA their ws and keep hate on tank. DRG wheeling Thrust is best and Ancient Circle works great here *equip drachen brais* SMN's summon fenrir and attack with him Wyvrens weak vs darkness so vouivre will be doing about 1,000++ dmg on him.
Best place to fight vouivre would be infront of where the raptor is for mages and near the bottom for the melee.
Uses Radiant Breath, Silences + does massive dmg some times to tank and anyone infront of him, Dispeling Wind removes 1 buff, Ex: Protect IV
Loud Shriek or sumthing, Paralyzaga, Deadly Dive Physical melee attack does some dmg on 1 person.
keep Poison and Bio on him, to counter his Regen effect. he has alot of hp.
This is the tactic for the win. However you can do it with less then this. getting to his camp is ez as well.
Lance is 100% drop
3-4 hour lotto pop.

very nice video i hope my ls friends will help me with my run
This is one lazy NM. We were getting a wyvern skull for a guy in my LS and he was up. A friend of mine was already there getting a wyvern skull and told me Vouivre doesn't do anything except sit there. Knowing how all other wyverns in the game are I thought he was joking. Then he started to run circles around it. I was amazed. Then he pulled a Hurricane Wyvern and brought it through Vouivre and he didn't link. This is one lazy NM.

This guy sure is a *****. We went with 9 ppl. DRG, PLD, RDMx2, BLM, WHM, RNG, DRK, WAR. For about 30 minutes we camp some hurricane wyverns for the mages skulls. Everythings going fine and then Vouivre spawns. We heal to full and pull his ugly ***. Battle starts slow and I start to get a little panicky but no worries, pt assured me we were fine. Took about 20 minutes to get him to 50% HP. Dispelling wind sucked, dont waste your time trying to recast protect and shell etc. All i had the whole time was food and signet. Ok, so @ 50% he started triple attacking a bit more than before, and we were gettin a lil tired. I called in some backup. 4 ppl, a BLM, a NIN, another BLM, and a RDM. He drops from 50% to about 20% is a pretty short time, and I'm feeling pretty confident. But it takes about another 15 mintues to kill him. Dunno if Regen gets higher for him, latent effect, but he was harder to kill @ the end no doubt. All were 70+ xcept for the whm ( 66 ) and me, the drg ( 68 ).
Total time was ~35-40 minutes. People say only NIN can tank him, its not true. If its a good high lv PLD wtith an earth staff, Vouivre hits like a little girl. NIN does help, but not necessacry. If he aggros ur mages have everyone go nuts for hate, beacuse he will prolly tripple attack and kill them within seconds. Long fight, but tons of fun and its worth the effort to have this uberz lance.

He definatly DOES NOT LINK, i'm sitting here now running circles around him, killing Hurrican Wyverns for my Wyvern Skull and he's not paying any attention to me at all
Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but i think this guy has regen? Tryed taking this with alliance of 10, but most of the people were 60-65, so naturally didnt hit much, even with 2x madrigal. even after landing about 2k damage, still seemed to be at full so i think it regened lol.
Last fryday we set an LS event to get our DRG's their spears, we also get like 10 wyverns skulls for the opo-opo crown quest and a few Bomb Queen ash while we were there. We went with 18 people, 12 around 70+ and the rest were around 60, we had two tanks a PLD75 and myself PLD71. This guy isn't very hard, it hits like a normal exp mob at 70 but it has a lot of hp though. It has a couple of really annoying attacks, like Dispeling Wind that will dispel everyone, and an AoE breath that causes paralyzega, this paralyze has a huuuuge range and can be quite dangerous because if it hits the mages the tanks can be without cures for a while. I sugest to pull him to the zone around G-8 since there you won't have links.
The Gae'Bolg seems to drop 100% of the time, we got 2 in two fights. The respawn timer of Vouivre was exactly 3 hours in our case.

This NM really isn't hard at all. Only problem was getting away from bombs =\ If you get a wyvern link it isn't bad but when a bomb pops in middle of fight and self-destructs 2 whacks later.....wow.. so yeah np freddyd see you around Garuda!
well i dont know about you guys, but when i went in futile to mine some adaman ore i had sneak and invis up and i walked right infront of both Vouivre and Ash Dragon, neither aggroed me, i guess i just got lucky i got some nice screenies and felt really satisfied despite the fact that i didn't get any ore :P
Well, i tried this guy with not 12, like so many ppl recommend, but 7 ppl.
Nin:75
Nin:74
Rng:74
Whm:70
Whm:72
Thf:68
Brd:68<--Kotocho
Basically they pulled him to a spot where only 1 raptor spawned, and well only 2 times did i ever see yellow. So you really dont need 12 ppl, you just cant have Bomb aggros or Wvern links (yes they had to fight it again cause they got 2 bomb aggros and a wyvern link, thats when they chaged camps). Anywho thanks to the PhoniexDown LS, and Kotocho for convincing them to help me get it. Im loving it so far. Just owned mission 7-1 and 7-2 with it ^^

no sure if it was mentioned in any other posts, cuz im too lazy atm to read ^^ but no he doesnt link either
Alliance consisted of 12 people. 2 whm, 2 rdm, 2 rng, 2 nin, 1 pld, 1 blm, 1 sam, and me as drg. Most of the people were 70+.
Nins shared main tanking duties, both of them were 75. One Ranger got hate and died about 1/3 into the fight (sorry ; ;) but otherwise wasn't that hard.
At 68 I had a pretty hard time hitting it, but luckily subbed thf so I could SATA wheeling thrust, did around 500 dmg whenever I managed to get the tp to pull it off.
Loving my lance so far <3

Wow, he was one tough cookie. I just killed him with my LS and got the drop. A hint: just sleep bombs if you have a bard. Half the alliance died from a Self-Destruct so Vouivre regened his hp back to nearly full as we were raised and rested. It took about 30 mins after to kill him. I know I've said this already like 20 times to my LS, but thank you to the Valiance LS on Cerebus and everyone else that helped. A special thanks to Jonathan, the nicest and craziest (in a good way) paladin I ever met. He basically organized this whole thing for me because he was bored and was "looking for a good fight". I will wear my Gae Bolg with pride.

On Oct. 17th I killed him and recieved my Gae Bolg.
For people interested, PT Setup was only 12 people, which weren't lower than 73 (except for me of course, heh), if I remember right. ^^b He went down very easily, and we also had no BLM whatsoever. He most certainly is quite cuddly. :P

While it may not astonish everyone to learn that he doesn't aggro, it may be news to everyone that he does not link, either. He's probably the cuddliest, peaceful NM in the game (next to maybe Cactrot Rapido). :D
We were hunting Wyvern Skulls when he popped. Nobody in the alliance was sure if he aggroed or not so our brave THF tested it by running right up to him.
Nothing happened. We were largely thunderstruck, but relieved. However, we also weren't sure if we could continue to safely pull wyverns without him linking.
Once again, our ballsy Thief said 'raise me if I die, okay?' and ran out to pull another wyvern. He then proceded to run the thing in circles around Vouivre.
Nothing happened.
Vouivre doesn't link with the other wyverns in the area. :D
Nobody tried /heal in front of him. Short of directly attacking him, I don't think there's any way of getting his attention. Just don't go nuts because the regular Hurricane Wyverns are most certainly aggro.
Just a note for the people after the opo-opo crown. ^^/

Can anybody confirm what level range is able to kill this wyvern. I hear a full alliance (18 members) of level range 65-70 could take it, but other people have told me it takes like 18 people all 75 and probably have other members 75 standing by to replace the dead bodies.
Can somebody please confirm?

a group of 12 level 75s could kill him. all you need are 2 ninja tanks and people ready to paralyna tanks. 18 65-75 could kill him. just make sure you have ninja(or 75 war/37 ninja) tanks. paladins will get owned.
Silena is also needed for its Radiant Breath attack I believe.
#Anonymous,
Posted: Sep 03 2004 at 9:51 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) To the best of my knowledge, this *** doesn't aggro at all. We took him out a few nights ago, and we we're walking all around him without sneak or invis. :P

Lvl is roughly 82 btw.

Vouivre is the one HNM that lacks True Sight. Meaning, cannot see through sneak or invis, yet still above lvl 75.
Vouivre also does not link to the wyverns in the Cauldron, and can be "safely" taken by 2 full alliances roughly 70-75. It helps to bring another party though to clean up bomb aggro.

Just took him down last night with a party of 10 70-75's.
RDM/BLU
PLD/WAR
SMN/WHM x 4
DNC/NIN
BLM/WHM
BST/WHM X 2
I was BLM all I did was roll though Frost, Rasp, Drown, Bio 2 and Poison 2 along with back up healing and removing Paralyze. One of the SMN was main healer and everyone else just did there job and it was over.

That depends on what you mean by HNM. So far, the only mobs I know of that see thru Sneak/Invis are, Behemoth-types, Adamantoise-types, Wyrm-types, the three Beastmen leaders (Za'Dha, Tzee Xicu, and Overlord Bagodak), and anything in Dynamis/Emptiness/a burning circle/etc. Yet many mobs that some people classify as HNM (Charybdis, Guirve, Bune, Vourvie, Ash Dragon) do not see through Sneak and Invisable. And don't even try to tell me that Ash Dragon has true sight, you were just careless and ran through without sneak because nothing else in the room aggros sound.
Guivre has true sight. So does Bune.
Vouivre does not aggro anything at all, hence no true sight.
Also, whoever talked about this like they knew what was up and said you need 2 full alliances...
Sorry, he's extremely easily pulled to where nothing will aggro you, especially not a bomb. You don't know what you're talking about.
Judging by Guivre, Bune, and the Wyverns around him, all of whom I've fought personally, you probably basically need 4-5 tanks, a few blm and healers, and some melee using spirits within.
12 people if set up properly should be able to do it easily, lv 65+, and must have at least 2 nins for sure, plus either more nins or some plds.

wrong, bune is not true sight, i hide from him last time
I know first hand that Guivre does not have true sight. You can sneak/invis right by him. I don't even know if you need sneak, but everything else around him aggros to sound, so he might as well be sneak/invis.
People tend to get killed by him because they only sneak in that area.

maybe it does have true sight, but doesnt aggro?
like the ronfar bunnies do! :O

I don't belive it has no True Sight, i did /poke it and ran away... i mine here alot so i know almost everything here XD
