Kirix is one tricky bugger....but not tricky enough!

I never thought I'd really give a damn about Kirix but the challenge is too good to pass up. So I've tried many times and failed. I wasn't ever actively camping him and never pulled him from someone if they had aggro. I'm not mean like that. But if they die, then I take my turn at it.

Kirix spawned again and my guildie, House, wasn't responding in mumble so I decided "What the hell...I'll give it another go!" so I hobble over and died 3 or 4 times but the 5th time, I managed to snag him. Here's the best advice for anyone wanting him.

1. Auto attack him
2. Let him punt you
3. While in the air, use Disengage
4. Pop your Potion of Speed and Deterrence
5. Tame him!
6. Profit! :D

I named mine Venom(yes, after the Spiderman villain...my favorite one). I plan to get Skitterflame, Skarr, and Karkin next. :3 Deth'tilac I might eventually.

EDIT: Funny though, to watch other hunters flail over him as he mauls them within seconds. Granted, if someone already was aggroing him, I waited til he was either tamed, dead, or hunter was dead before I gave it a shot. So I was courteous. :)

Grats, I tamed him too but cost me 89g to tame him in repair bills damn thing slaughtered me and a bunch of other hunters so many times. I did the Skarr's rock trick and got him that way; I also tried the way you did but got pwned because I guess I wasnt using disengage right. I still cant think of a name for mine.

That's awesome :D I ended up standing on the ledge to tame mine. I ended up with a 1 minute+ rez timer and a healthy repair bill but THPIDER!

Mine was the same method as Jess (Minus the pot, replaced by a hound.), and I died once.

I don't remember my exact amount payed for repairs, but it was mostly from platform fails :3

I tamed Kirix using the rock method and before that because I didn't know the strategy, I died 6 times :P 72 gold repairs for me. Mostly I just failed at jumping on the rocks and I didn't know that I had to use deterrence, no pots were used, no haste increasers, just lucky on my 7th try :P

You'll never believe this.

I called my raven lord an evil sunnava bitch and he jumped off from the rock where I'm camping KArkin in the north. XD
