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.

A couple days ago I was invited to a party heading to Valley of Sorrows. I jumped out ahead of everyone b/c I had some oils and powders on me. I reach the zone line to Cape Terrigan in Kuftal Tunnel and zone over. I sit and wait for everyone to determine what part of Valley of Sorrows we will exp in (north or south). All the sudden I see this in the chat log, "OMG", "NM?", "Ya kind of popped on us". I fun back to kuftal to find out what happened. I zone over and viola 3 party members KOd. Guivre apparently aggroed them and hit for around 500+ damage to a lvl 60. I'm just glad I made it out alive.
too weak to be worthwhile

finally got around to getting some revenge on him from deeds long past, and he is too easy..

7 people : 75whm - 75whm(sub 15thf ;-)) - 75mnk - 75pld - 75blm - 70drk - 60rdm
(in the area hunting weeds from recluse spiders for the windurst promise quest)

took about 5 minutes to kill. nothing special, just a faster higher hp wyvern. mass applause from the chinese gil sellers followed.

a 6 man party of 72-75 could do this no sweat, especially with a good nin tank.



big bad ass...

I can also confirm that he -does not- have true sight. I invis/sneaked up last night and followed Guivre around for a good 20 mins. (and got some awesome screenshots too ^^)

Anyway. I can die happy now, I got to poke my first HNM. Whee dawgie.

This is bs. >P It IS possible to follow Guivre around from behind without her aggroing, but I know for a fact that she does aggro. T_T Trying to get to Valley of Sorrows and I wasn't paying attention, took me out in two well placed hits. Oh and this is with sneak and invis on. What joy.

A few nights ago i was exping and our puller spotted Guivre. We hadnt set up camp yet and were going to other side of tunnel. Well, aggros pt memeber guiding us and he goes down, I go to raise him while WHM sneak + invis's us. I riase him and we get a few more casualties... WHM takes care of them. I go to handle the next dead guy... Guivre is about 70feet away (he was light gray so about thar far) and he starts moving my way, i turn and retreat to my awaiting pt and ask "Is it following me!" and she comes up and pops me twice and i die ; ;... and in the end we DONT exp in Kuftal and go to Boyahda...
close encounter

He WILL aggro through invis. Try standing, in his line of sight(he only detects sight) when he's not aggro'ing others.If he slaughtering a room, he won't see you untill you're the only one left, in his line of sight. My static has suffered many deaths due to this, including Whm trying to Invis to us and dying before he even casted a spell(with invis up)He has TrueSight.

# Jan 03 2005 at 1:13 PM Rating: Decent
he does not have true site i have walked/ran under and some time through him, while invis/sneaked. And yes i was the last person in my party going up to the cape, if he saw you, you was not paying attention to your invis.

I have tried this he WILL see through Invis, but if he is aggroing something else(oh say slaughtering others in room) he won't touch you, try watching him just standing still, then stepping in his line of sight.My static has had many deaths due to His TrueSight.
#REDACTED, Posted: Dec 10 2004 at 3:57 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) He's a funny NM. I remember i was in a PT and these gay gil-farmers were partying near us, so SMN made Titan cast Stoneskin and NIN pulled it near them and did 2 hour, and killed every single one of them, muhahahhahahaha, gay gil-farmers
Revenge
# Dec 08 2004 at 9:42 PM Rating: Excellent
Well i loged into my ls just in time one moring. They heard that Guivre poped and decided to kill him (Ls is not a HNM ls). We make our way to the tunnel and there he is running up and down the same tunnle leading to where amemet pops so we had to sneak by when he was in the other end.

We waited where ppl lvl and as we waited for our memerbs to arrvie Amement poped and we killed him and got his skinn.

Everyone has made it to the tunnels but pld died some how so we R3 him and wait a little. Our party had about 12-14 ppl i think and most were 70+ and a few 65-70 and me the lowest as a 60whm

Battle:

We got our wonderful 75ninja to tank him and then we started to hack away at him, some crabs aggroed us but since we had a bst he dealth with most of them. Ninja was tanking very well and doing good, curing thoese when they got aggro from him or when ninja got hit and so on.

About half dead we hit bad luck, ninja dies super fast and then we lose our main whm and another member very quickly after that. LS said run and so on but with luck our main whm haad Reraise and we staied and faught him. Brought all back alive and had to cure the pld like mad since he was tanking and Guivre hits some hard. WHM dided from a lizzard somehow, i raised him and we faught on.

He almost dead so melee go all out and puff he is dead. The battle was my fist real HNM fight and it was mighty fun. about 5deaths i think and it was all for 2 wind crystals....NO DROP! In the end we had fun and got Amement(and drop)so it was worth it a little lol. He is a HNM thats 2 hard for such crapy drops but is very fun to fight.

Thats my first dragon HNM fight and many more to come i hope :)

Tales of the Dragon kind
# Dec 04 2004 at 7:31 AM Rating: Decent
Here is my experience with this big bag of scales:

The other night I headed out to skill up my staff with some buddies in Kuftal. We get to the big room where the ever always Amemit hunting Gil sellers are located and the darknight in the pt yells Guivre!!!! I am like cool... maybe I can see him for the first time. I hear that he is a very cool looking wyvern. That impression only lasted for like 1 second.

I followed my friend into a corner where we figured that we would be safe because people normally try to run for the zone. However this was not the case. I looked to left only to see this poor rdm running for his life with this giant dragon behind him. The worst thing however was that he was also attracting every robber crab on the way as well. Needless to say the rdm trained the gd dragon on top of me and my friend and then THWACK.... dead he was. I started to take off towards the zone to Terrigan. I was so flustered that I didnt realize my sneak just wore off, so not only did I have to worry about Guivre but all the sudden I became I huge crab magnet.

I got as far as I could before my hp was in the orange and used Invincible to make sure that I would be ok through the zone. To my dismay because I was training about 20 robber crabs with me I started lagging like an MF and I couldnt even auto run. I had to hold down my run and pray that Invincible didn't wear off. I didnt even know that the STUPID dragon wasnt even following me at this time. So anyhow I trained about 20-25 crabs to the zone on top of all these poor people leveling who had no idea what was coming for them because the lag was so bad I couldnt type (run away). I killed only one person thank god. The worst part however was when I hit the zone the people that I trained on were JP and kept sending me tells for 15 min asking if I MPK them. Since I cant speak JP well enough to communicate the reason that I zoned, they continued to send me tells and examine me, I felt horrible.

The best part about the whole thing however was that my friend survived and said that he saw Guivre take down the Gil Farmers while they were fighting Amemit.

Ah, someday I will be back Guivre...

The only real purpose of Guivre is to kill people. He drops a worthless skull, he roams wildly, no HNMLS gives enough of a **** to kill him, and he's a *****. SE either messed up and left something out, or just really hate people who try and level.
Ouch !?!?

This is the coolest NM in the game because it runs around and kills everything. Most other mobs are lazy and sit in one spot. Yes, it has killed me and many of my friends, but I still love it. Next time I see him - whether in a skill up party or just travelling through Kuftal - we will take our revenge.
Guivre Owned

NuDawn (clan of Valefor) took down Guivre last night shearly for the pleasure of revenge. From the stories here, I see most of you know how sucky it is to be in Kuftal in an exp party only to have Guivre sight you or be trained on you... We decided to own him. A full alliance of NuDawn members ranging from 59-75 took him down easy with no causualties.

No title though... Guivre can bite my ---
