Mastering the art of combating formidable adversaries is a cornerstone of the gaming experience in Enshrouded, and among all the bosses encountered by players, the Fell Wispwyvern holds a special place. Capable of breathing devastating icy streams, summoning reinforcements, and maneuvering around the battlefield with incredible ease, this boss can crush stone and its challengers alike. This guide aims to prepare players for epic battles and provides strategies on how to defeat the Fell Wispwyvern.
Locating the Fell Wispwyvern
Thus far, we've only encountered one Fell Wispwyvern (thank the Flame) in Pikemead’s Reach. This formidable opponent guards the castle in the northern part of the city, appearing as soon as you step into the courtyard.
Attacks of the Fell Wispwyvern
The boss boasts an arsenal of devastating attacks, executing them in rapid succession. Pay close attention to its movements to anticipate its strikes.
Ice Storm
When the Fell Wispwyvern raises its head towards the sky, it's time to move! Icy comets will rain down from above, always targeting your location. Dodge quickly and keep moving until the storm subsides.
Ice Blast
During the Ice Blast attack, the Wyvern tilts its head back and unleashes a devastating blast of cold. It remains stationary, so jump or sidestep swiftly.
Pounce
The Wyvern executes this move swiftly and without warning, so be prepared to roll away when you see it leap through the air. It inflicts significant damage in a small radius upon landing.
Tail Spin
If you venture too close to the Wyvern, it will leap up and spin rapidly in a full circle. Getting caught in this attack will stun you for a few seconds.
Icy Roar
When the Wispwyvern begins drawing in energy, it glows brightly, and Ice Beetles emerge from the ground to shield it. This is its most vulnerable moment—a well-aimed shot to its mouth will stun it.
How to Defeat the Fell Wispwyvern
At first glance, the Fell Wispwyvern may seem nearly impervious. Resilient to many forms of damage and capable of dealing immense harm, it presents a serious challenge. When not evading its onslaught, players must navigate the battle, avoiding beetles to seize moments for counterattacks.
The Fell Wispwyvern harbors one critical weakness: its "Icy Roar" attack. By landing a shot in its mouth during this phase, players can stun it. While stunned, it falls vulnerable to damage for approximately ten seconds. Utilize this window to inflict maximum damage.
Additional Tips
When the Wyvern isn't utilizing its "Icy Roar," focus on evasion and eliminating beetles. The terrain may not always be advantageous, and collapsing pillars can amplify damage. Remain in open spaces with ample room for maneuverability and capitalize on every opportunity to disrupt the "Icy Roar."
If you continue to struggle against the Wyvern, consider experimenting with food bonuses and potions. Additionally, upgrading your equipment or leveling up further may prove beneficial. This is a challenging encounter, so don't be discouraged if victory eludes you on your initial attempts.
After vanquishing the Fell Wispwyvern, be sure to collect its head—a crucial item for bolstering your Flame to the fourth level. Furthermore, you'll receive a key that unlocks doors within the castle it guarded.
