So, I was in the Molten Front a few days after the Deth incident (if you dont know, two druids kept killing me, and then they killed Deth RIGHT before another hunter got him), and NPCscan popped for Kirix. I was a little sad that I took the brooder instead of the "real thing" I should say. I went up, and tried taming from the rock. I tried about 5 times that way, and it didnt work. A hunter friend of mine offered to help, because he had Kirix. I try from the bottom first, and another hunter died trying to pull off of me. I died after that, and then I rez. I decided one more time, and I tried. I had it all set up, he popped Hysteria from the Corehound he had. I died.
BUT THEN SOMETHING MAGICAL HAPPENED! Kirix vanished, and both I, and the other hunter were like, wth? I check my pets at my arsenal, I see "spider" My mouth drops open, and I do my happy yay I completed a challenge dance (dont. even. ask.) I rez, and I summoned my Green buddeh. I feel accomplished now that I did the challenge tame :3
