Talk:Wyvern

Just something I've noticed -- Wyverns (and Harpies) simply spawn above a given height. There's no need for a Floating Island. Can someone else verify this? --125.253.99.68 00:17, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Not a Mini Boss
It's a tough enemy but has no boss characteristics http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/do-you-consider-the-wyvern-a-miniboss.67124/ Here's a thread were the vast majority are saying it's definitely not a mini boss. --Moxxy 19:04, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Decreasing Spawn Rate
I've killed a handful of these, and died fighting several more, and I didn't notice the spawn rate decreasing with successive appearances. I suggest removing the note as I find the suggestion unlikely. --Theothersteve7 18:56, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Additional Tactic
I've had great luck using a Star Cannon. The most stars I used was 31; the least was 8. (Lucky shots I guess) Mileron 22:25, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

The wyvern's attack pattern is fairly basic. Although it takes longer, before you have the clockwork rifle, the sunfury can be effective. Running one direction, attacking the head and along the body with the sunfury, then jumping over it using the spectre boots (even easier when combined with cloud in a balloon) to hover means that you can essentially take no damage with one repeated maneuver. This can be done with one short platform, only 150 or so blocks long, although a longer one gives more room for error.
