Pyyr the Wicked

This page describes the version of Pyyr before Release X.31.8.0. For the current version, see Pyyr the Crimson Dragon.

Pyyr the Wicked

Pyyr the Wicked was one of the five bosses of the original Lair of Draconis.

The Realm Eye says:
In an effort to challenge Limon’s authority, Oryx captured a Fire Sprite and fused it with the body of a fabled dragon.
Oryx has personally bred the captive dragon to obey his commands so that he may establish control over the elements.
The sprite trapped inside yearns to reunite with its original body, now an aimless soul without a host.

Behavior

Pyyr’s behavior in hard-mode is no different from his normal mode behavior, there’s just more and faster projectiles.

Pyyr has two phases:

Lava phase:
Pyyr will be in the center of the room and fill most of the room with lava, leaving a ring of solid ground around the middle. Pyyr will stay in the center of the room and fire sickening shots all around him, as well as gigantic fireballs along the cardinal and intermediate directions.. The red eggs in the corners of the room will spawn Crimson Soul Shards that will fire highly damaging attacks.

He is completely invulnerable during this phase. Once all Crimson Soul Shards are dead he will transition to his chasing phase.

Chasing Phase:
The room will slowly return to normal and Pyyr will begin rapidly chasing the nearest player. He will spray various shots all around him, including a spiral of red orbs, as well as aim a shotgun of Firewaves at the nearest player. He will sometimes stop chasing for a moment before resuming.

Once he hits 50% HP, he will go back to his Lava Phase. The second time he does it, it lasts until death.

Tips and Strategies

  • After all of his minions die in the first phase, Pyyr will quickly lunge toward the closest player. It is advisable to move far away from the group when almost all the minions are dead.
  • The Armor Breaking shots, combined with multiple high-damage shots, can lead to a swift death. Be cautious.
  • If you have a small group, it is recommended to circle around Pyyr the Wicked, dodging his minions’ shots so as to take as little damage as possible. Tanking or standing in one place is better if you have a large group through which you could cycle who takes damage.
  • Pyyr is very aggressive and has the potential to be extremely debilitating to melees. It’s highly recommended to be at least 2/8, maxed speed and defense, before attempting to fight.
  • Note that Pyrr is the only dragon that is able to fire during his death animation. Be wary.
