Just tamed my first and was disappointed his hp went from 1084 to 640 after the tame was complete.
Other than that here are some tips to help you.
The tip about lowering their health was SPOT ON. they move much slower at 20% hp than full hp.
I have some more things I found but don't wanna blow the fun just yet :p
Btw nobody mentioned HIRYUS DESTROY DRAGON BARDING ARMOR. My poor swampy is naked now, and there's none for sale in housing. Grr :p
Hiryu can kill Ancient Wyrm

if you have one of these trained to 7xGM, an ethy, GM Vet,and Magery you can kill an AW and by the time youre done the hiryu will still have 1/2 health or more Best way to tame them (for me)

I take my Cu Sidhe with me and bring them so quite easily down (you have in fact to heal your cu).
After they are down to 10% i mount the Cu to stop the damage and recall away to stable it.
After this i return to tame the Hiryu.
You need a small place without adds, so lure the elite ninjas and so away before you start taming. Enoch

I just tamed a Hiryu, 648 HP, 651 STR, 126 DEX, 305 INT.
67/75/20/44/49
Funky neon blue color too, anybody tamed a better one?
Also, tips for taming, I only have 35 physical resist, so 1-2 hit kills if once chances a hit. The best tactic I found to taming these consecutively and without death is to hurt 'em down to full red, peace if you can, and walk directly south-east as you anger them. Take one step, anger again, repeat... Works great I've been taming Hiryus for 4 hours with only one death.

they have taken over my love affair with white wyrms and nightmare. This thing can kill things in 1-2 hits on easy stuff like ettins and trolls. Killed 2 demons and 2 ogre brutes and it had half of it's hit points left. Even can kill other hiryus, which makes a great way to make money btw :D Hiryu

What you have to realize is that they are good creatures, though they take up one more slot, so you cannot have a mare and one out, but you can have a dragon and a mare or WW and a mare which is better overall Easy for mage tamer but they hit hard

After many deaths, I have come to the same conclusion as everyone else regarding taming these birds. Just paralyze it and whittle it down with mind blasts. They seem to hurt it most. Be extra careful until its at half health, they move fast until then. I usually beat it to within an inch of its life then paralyze it. Whem it unparas it will walk away. Stay a safe distance dehind it and if he comes at you and gets his life up a bit, paralyze and repeat. Pally Archer

My pally archer kills these things super fast. EOO, Consecrate Weap, and Divine Fury, plus dragon slayer and these fall in about 4-6 shots. Good loot. They hit HARD

I hunt these guys with my trained cu sidhe. He can take them out, but it takes some serious vetting action. And I have to hop on him sometimes and run him away from the fight to heal because I can't always vet fast enough to keep up with the damage. They hit my cu for 80-100 a shot. He is gm wrestling/tactics, 98 anat. I would not try it with an untrained cu, I think it would die pretty fast. Very hard, but worth it!

It took me two hours to tame mine, and that was with a peacer backing me up Lost pretty much all my fame too.
If you're a mage/tamer, forget your LRC suit. I took 132 damage per hit with it on. Switched to a full 70 physical resist one, it only did about 40-50. Still enough to kill me in two hits, but if it got one lucky one off, I would still be alive! Nice spot to tame these!

a friend of mine gave me a rune to a spot to tame hiryus, when i got there i thought i'd have to walk alot to get to one. This area is south of the road that splits the forest, this area is vast but that's a good thing. a vast area means the oni's probably wont spawn near the hiryu (or the lesser if you wanna play it safer) thought, this does come at a down fall, usually the hiryu( greater) is hard to find in this vast area while the lessers are easy (my experience 2 lessers spawn and 1 greater) i've only see 5 ninja's there, and that's small consedering how many i've tamed (upwords of 15 in 3 days)peacing is recomended, and rember the golden rule. Don't bring tamers/ peacers who don't know enough to stay a minimum of 2 tiles away from any hostile creature. i find it easier to cast 2 ev's, peace it, when it's health is almost gone, mass dispell, peace again, try to tame (it takes a while, once over a half hour)but make sure to keep it' s heal LOW, it moves slowly, and since all creatures (tamed or wild) has a what i call "run away and heal" Ai built in. thus, and this happens alot while at low hp, if it's angery when you tame it usualy breaks peace and attacks, run, after 2 tiles orf chaising you, it will releazie it's hp is low and run off to recover, this gives time to peace and try again. have fun Easy for Archers.

A pally archer with a slayer bow will have no problem at all. My archer was doing over 160 damage a shot with EOO and CW on. Takes less than 2 minutes to kill it, and no damage taken. My biggest problem is actualy finding enough of them for back to back fights!

I went with my tamer to take a shot at these supposable easily tamed chickens. Boy was i wrong!!! Even with my 110 taming and lore it still took me 20 taming attempts not to mention the endles "you seem to anger the beast" and dying about 8 times. Once i had it I took it for a test drive.....Ogre lords are good wrestling and anatomy gains for untrained hiryu Wariors impression

Hiryus are not your best friends when it comes to taming. Like any tamer knows, you keep your distance from aggressive creatures, and doubly so if you don't have peacing. But when these babies hit, they hit hard. And not only are they extremely fast, but they tend to spawn in an area crawling with kaze kemonos and elite ninjas. Try taming one of these with about seven kaze's and a couple of ninjas coming after you! The best way to tame these things is to bring a friend.
Even if you aren't taming, and you're just looking for a profitable hunt - and these guys ARE profitable - it's no easy task. I, a mage/tamer, and a mace-fighter friend of mine went for a hiryu hunt. By the time we found the hiryu, he had about twelve kaze's chasing him, and two elite ninjas were all over my white wyrm. Pile on a hiryu and me trying desperately to heal both my friend and my white wyrm and you get... well...
The area these guys spawn in, a place overflowing with trees blocking every path, is a death trap. For advanced hunters only! Hiryu and Generals

My moderately trained hiryu can take out a cyclopean warrior general or a titan general, with my 103 veterinary to keep him going. He can hold his own against an ogre lord general, but he can't kill it fast enough to keep it from recalling. taming

ok i figured i would throw you guys a bone on taming this beast first you dont need resist though it helps alot you just mind blast it to decently low life cast a energy field and use taming macro and vualla you have a new hiryu just make sure you keep the energy field between you and him good luck. |
