Also, does it show you what to do with the predatoris beak to make the special armor the devs mentioned?

WOOT Meru you did it XD I kindof knew it's only a matter of a lucky def roll on an owl once you were over that "breaking edge" in pierc off :P Hope to see you doing it daily from now on :D (Someone will have to make those crazy poisons though lol)

It was a very nerve-racking experience!
Here was my setup:

You want to be able to hit at least 90 pierce effective with a poison to hit the Owl for any type of significant damage. I was using the Demonic Darts at first which provided me with a 4.6 pierce buff (91 pierce effective), but I failed to kill the Owl. Instead, I opted for the cheap version of Walhein Dart with prowler spine and star of jotun for a 4.1 pierce buff (90 pierce effective).
Pierce Offense: 99/96
Pierce Defense: 89/83

Armor: Kmane/Kroc - gives 70-71 pierce defense
I decided I didn't want to deal with trying to push the owl to slash (i'm sure that's a good strategy as well), so I just made sure he hit my pierce.
Pot: Festive Jug - I'm sure any runic coord pot would work just as well
Membranes- None
Shield - 61 slash shield

Companions:
Boar - Maxed Pierce and Slash
Hiker - Maxed all offensive and defensive stats (important for living more than 1 round)
Golem Monster - Maxed all offensive and defensive stats (important for living more than 1 round)
Rowan - Maxed all offensive and defensive stats

If the owl rolls a 80 pierce defense (or higher) you will lose 99% of the time. You just don't take enough damage off with 90 effective.
Also, 2 of the 3 owl companions need to NOT have a defensive buff. If you can kill all three owl companions in 4-5 rounds, that's a great start.

I think I need to get the recipe for the beak, which means increasing my taming skills. If anyone has dead owls they'd like to throw my way, i'd happly accept them!

Thank you for the info as well :)
That 99/96 seems a bit overwhelming to get...
So, for the Owl, you need to hit with the hero and tank with the best defenders you have, right?

:D I spent 400-500 BC on Watchmaker to get to that (albeit with a lot of luck im guessing).

My plan was to tank the first two rounds with my hero first and hope he didn't hit me in the same spot. The smaller owls generally miss, so it's not a big deal. Next, i would either tank an additional round (if i was feeling lucky), or switch the skeleton to tank, with the hero attacking owl and everyone else spread out on the remaining small owls. If possible, switching the boar over to the owl for additional damage.

So, here's the bad news. It takes 3 beaks to make one scale and three scales to make boots or legs. So to get a single piece of armor it takes at least 9 beaks. Tough deal.

sooo troll
it was on one of the RU servers, with a a different ruleset (that particular one was tuned in such a way so people can "catch up" to EU faster), different BC prices, and only russians playing on it XD. You know how crazy we can be when grouped together ye? :D The kill there is nevertheless a formidable achievement, but you can't compare first kill there and first kill here - different conditions, different achievements.

Good luck on the next one.

Not matters, they dig their grave long ago, no one here gonna praise them for beating a boss on a server not even connected to this community. Kinda feels like a who lost it earlier argument lol. In view of that person it superultracool, but in view of others like *still looking for given f*cks* :twisted:

Thanks Merumi...now we lost everything GG

I never said I was the first...and I'm fairly certain that our servers are not connected in any way so why do you care?

The Owl has been killed at least 3 times now on the Russian server. All 3 kills with different players.
The second kill was the same day as the updated with poisons.
The third was yesterday.
So, we have 2 Predators beak now.
