Yeh, I was partying in Kuftal the other night to get 52 so I could wear my Pimp Boots... right after we smash this crab I see this huge-*** thing barreling down the tunnel....omg i almost crapped myself....my best friend MNK went down in two hits,...then it decides to keep going up the tunnel...so the rest of the pty attempts to sneak/invis and zone..but it brought a Haunt and three Crabs with it..so BLM died too...but somehow I made it out alive :D ....yeh and then when I zone...someone has 2 Cactuars being zoned from the other side...so yeh it was chaos...
but..I never died..and me and my friend both got 52 ...so we're happy :D

I'm kinda curious about the spawn rate on this thing, is it once a day? or once every few days? I cant imagine kuftal being a very safe place if it spawns daily, considering it seems to rampage for hours before either despawning or getting killed by a highlevel party.
On a side note, i met guivre yesterday, trying to get 53. Was in a great party, getting good exp off the crabs when i see this thing charge in the room, moving like the wrath of god. Our puller drops in seconds, and we escape with the quickness.
Sad thing is, we all thought it would be a good idea to mount a resue operation to raise him, not realizing that Guivre patrols the tunnels at a dead run, killing everything in sight.
1 death turned into 7 with some people dying multiple times, even i took my turn on the floor getting walked over by crabs, and a wyvern every 5 minutes or so.

I know he doesnt have truesight. The only times i saw him was during the bonus games around early summer when ya matched up with other races and got put into various dungeons. He passed me numerous times without a second thought

"Hey guys if you hear thump thump just run ok...THUMP THUMP THUMP CRACK.....nvm."
Invisible works, simple. You do not need sneak. I was standing on one of the slopes near a dead party member and used Tonko: Ichi, he ran past me at least 4 times, running right through me and onto his little circle around kuftal.
I was in a great party, just lastnight we were training on robbers with no worry till i go to pull and i say, S***, Guirve popped and ran rite past me, he was far away though, so my friend who wanted to see him, sneaked and invised himself and went looking, the thing aggro's him and kills him, then starts running around, we went to go raise him and once again, guirve comes back to kill our WHM, me and the DRK, run to our camp hiding in the corner, guirve came to the mid room a few times but not aggroing us,finally, thee BLM gets the dead members raise 3's, and we escape and camp at the entrance.
saw this thing today. It does not see through inv/sneak, i would know cause i stood right infront of it and took a screenshot :). On a side not this hnm ruined my night and killed 2 ppl from my party.
Hmmm strange because when I ran down to the main crab room where amemet spawns(with sneak and invis on) it aggroed and made short work with me along with the crabs as it knocked off my sneak as well

yes I had my fun run in with this happy lil friend down in the tunnel, seems a lvl 70+ pt went down there to teach him a lession only he ate them and headed up the tunnel to were all the n00bs pt. This is all well and good only my self and my pt were there and we got aggro......er slaughtered more like it, the WHM got hit once and died, the MNK got hit once and died, I how ever got hit three times before I died. Finally I got tractored and raised and about this time an 18 man pt of 70+ jp full wearin chars ran by and I later had the pleasure to find out that they kick gurivers butt all over the place, in fact they killed so much there almost wasn't anything left for pts to pull 8P.
I had my first experience with Guivre just today on Asura. My party had decided to go to Kuftal to lvl on crabs. We tele and zone in. We see a dead WHM in AF and think nothing of it. Then our SAM rounds a corner and drops in two hits. Then our GALKA DRK gets dropped, we all haul *** out.
Later I zoned back in under the influence of sneak/invis and bump into him again as he's coming my way, only to see him get claimed by a THF in AF who mugged him and took off. THF had a string of crabs behind her, and soon dropped. I bolted in the other direction looking for the Cape Terrigan zone, only to have sneak wear off and get aggroed by like three crabs. I had to Chainspell and Warp to get out alive. Back in Jeuno I started shouting that he's on a rampage, and I think someone was forming up to kill him.
My body count was about eight. Three from my party, three from my LS buddys' party, and that THF and WHM.

Was in Kuftal for a summerfest quest, saw him and gave a shout, within minutes a leveel 70+ party came in and murdered it. Got some nice pics too.
Looks like everyone has had an experience with him. LOL, I seen him twice but never died to it. One time though, my party teleported out to the only Crag I didn't have the crystal to. I was stuck. So I started looking for a Blm to D2 me out. I found one, but he was being stingy and wasn't going to warp me. Eh, so I waited. I think like five minutes later, when I thought about blood-porting, the stupid dragon spawned right in front of me! And it charged to me. I thought I was dead. All by chance the dragon aggroed a Taru that was resting in front of me. Killed him in two hits. I used that as a diversion and hauled ***.
I think the dragon spent like 1hr killing ppl that had no ideaa that the dragon was there. Im talking about full parties. Then 1hr 30mins later when I thought the dragon had despawned, I told some whm to go raise the victims. She was in the middle of raise, when the dragon aggroed her and killed her on the spot. I got lucky and got D2. So that there is my story of how the dragon went on a massacre in Kuftal/Unicorn.

I finally get in a rocking pty. Chain 4 everytime and I'm cruising towards 55. We decide to move camp to less crowded location. Most of my party is JP so i dont know hat they are saying most of the time. My sneak is about to wear in our move so I find an out of the way spot to use an oil. Then wham one GIANT wyvern comes sprinting through ou cave. This might explain why there was a dead mage laying face down right by me. It's to fast for me to even select it to ceck the thing. WTF! my Galka thf lvl 54 goes from full hp to dead! Guivre had struck. Next thing I know we raise theif and a lot of japanese scrolls accros my screen and then Escape! As we are escaping I see guivre again making a second loop only 2-3 minutes after first appearance. My party disbanded , I assume because Kuftal was too dangerous now. Oh well someone will kill that big chicken running lizard and then I will have 55! Muwahahaha! No matter how bad a!! the mob there is always a badder alliance waiting to knock it the f&^* out^^

Its not an hnm, just a really high level nm. (cold cocked me at 55, flattened me again at 60. twice in a row after being raised >_<)
Its got a long sight range and seems to run in a loop through the lower parts of kuftal.

Was lvling in kuftal yesterday... first, a pt member gets killed by a couple of haunts. oh well, raised him, sneaked the pt, and went to the big room and waited there for the weakend status to go away.
Our puller had found a nice camp at the exit to cape terrigan, and tell us to come there. Good. I sneak everybody up, and began my journey to the puller....
Only 5 secs after, I see this huge motherf*cker come down towards me. I knew I was gonna die.
I shouted out "RUUUUUUUUUUUUUN". first hit, I took 512 dmg... second hit, 532 dmg.... I guess thats how the mobs feel, when you overkill them with freeze MB for 1200 dmg, when they only got like 10% hp left.
this ugly ******* haunted kuftal for a long time yesterday...

So I finally get a party tonight, and it's a friggin amazing party - We chain to 5 three times in a row -- all is going well, and this ******* dragon spawns on TOP of our party... it was a massacre...
Needless to say our pt disbanded and went their seperate ways, just my luck.

I was in a great party tonight for several hours, and then the other RNG informed us that his LS said Guivre had spawned. I check Widescan and sure enough he's there, far enough away that he's barely in my WS range (And my WS range is huge). A few people ask if he's close and I say no, so we start fighting a Robber Crab. About 30 seconds later, I see behind the crab an enormous wyvern running by our party. We all moved a little bit to the side and he just jogged past. I think someone found a way to flee from him, because he continued right to the entrance as we finished the battle and cued up a Tele out of there.

I'm lvlin' in Kuftal Tunnel, awesome pt. We are out there for @ least an hr just collecting xp on a consisntant basis. "Incoming Robber Crab". I turn 2 target the crab and this Wyvern comes charging @ me. I check it "Impossible 2 gauge". He hits me 3 times and i die as THF53. Funny thing was that the Wyvern attacked me instead of puller, so i'm confirming that he is quick.
