Arkveld

Guide and Information

A flying wyvern that was considered extinct according to documents left behind by the Guild. Their wings have a unique, chain-like blade that can extend and retract freely to reap their prey.

Attacks

Aerial Dive Maneuver -

While on the ground, the Arkveld will quickly gain altitude by flapping its wings and jumping. Once it's airborne, it will dive to drag both Chainblades onto the ground and flip in the air just before it lands back on the ground.

Arm Strike -

While on all fours, the Arkveld will quickly turn and its body will start glowing. As it lets out a roar, it will pull back its right arm above its head, and then step forward to strike the ground.

Arm Sweep

- The Arkveld will slowly pull back its body while placing its right arm in front of it. After a quick pause, it will pull back its right arm, dragging along the Chainblades on its side.

Arm Swipe -

While on all fours and being attacked by Hunters on its right side, the Arkveld will shift its weight to the left and raise its right arm. Once the arm peaks, it will strike the ground and swipe it towards the Hunters.

Chainblade Assault

- When enraged, the Arkveld will do a combination of a Whipped Chainblade starting with the left, and then the right. As it retracts the right Chainblade, it will twist its body, and fly to release a Double Chainblade Attack. The Arkveld can also do this move by starting from the other side.

Chainblade Strike

- The Arkveld will quickly take a step back and pull its left arm on its side. Then, it will strike the left-side Chainblades in front leaving red lightning marks around it. As the Arkveld retracts the Chainblade, the red lightning will explode.

Charge -

While on all fours, the Arkveld will pull back its body with its right arm crossed over its chest. As it charges forward, it will sweep the right arm away from its body.

Chainblade Chain Attack

- The Arkveld will release a chain attack of 2 Right Chainblades, and 1 Left Chainblade. It will start with the Arkveld stepping forward and then releasing the right Chainblades on its sides while glowing. After a quick pause, it will fully extend the Chainblade as it slams it on the ground in front of it, leaving red lightning marks on the ground. Upon retracting the chainblade, it will cause explosions on the ground. Then, it will follow up with another Chainblade on the same side (Right) doing the same thing before switching to the Left Chainblade. So the sequence is: Right, Right, and Left. Note: The Chainblades on each side do not hit at the same time. There's a slight delay before the second Chainblade hits the ground.

Chainblade Assault & Red Lightning Blast

- The Arkveld's body will glow white and will let out a roar as it stands up on its hind legs. Once stood, the Arkveld's body will be covered by red lightning, and it will cross its Chainblades around its body, causing an explosion. Soon after, it will twist its body to jump, and upon landing, it will unleash Red Lightning Blasts in a large AoE directly in front of it.

Chainblade Somersault

- The Arkveld's body will let out a roar as its body will glow white. After a while, the color will turn red, and it will strike both Chainblades in front of it to push itself backward. As the Arkveld flies backward, the Chainblades will latch onto the ground and it will use it to push itself forward into a Somersault. Upon landing, it will quickly turn around by slamming the Chainblades on its sides. From here, it will follow up with a Chainblade Strike in front of it.

Crossed Wingblade

- The Arkveld will start howling and the Chainblades on both sides will start glowing white. After a while, the glow will turn red as it rises to stand up on its hind legs and pull back both wings. Once upright, the Arkveld will slam both wings downward that goes across both sides.

Dash to Arm Sweep

- The Arkveld will start dashing in one direction and as it steps its right leg, it will raise its right arm and sweep it from the side into the front. This move can blow away hunters when hit directly.

Double Chainblade Attack

- If hunters are far from the Arkveld, it will launch a range attack. It starts with the Arkveld stepping backward and then it will pull back both arms on its sides. After a quick pause, it will swing both wings forward and the Chainblades will slam onto the ground. It will stay in the same position for about 1.5 seconds.

Jump Maneuver

- While on the ground, the Arkveld will quickly jump and use one of its Chainblades to grab onto the ground to reposition itself.

One-Side Chainblade

- The Arkveld will quickly step back and face its side as it pulls its body and Chainblades. After a quick pull, it will release both Chainblades on one side.

Overhead Smash

- The Arkveld will start growling while the feather will spread on its right arm. After a quick pause, it will raise its head and arm, and bring it down to smash the ground. This can blow away hunters when hit directly.

Ram

- When a hunter is directly in front of The Arkveld, it will quickly pull back its face, and then ram it downwards against a target.

Roar

- The Arkveld can let out a roar that interrupts current actions.

Tail Blast

- While on all fours, the Arkveld will start roaring while pulling back its tail behind its body. After a quick pause, it will aim the tip of its tail in front with red lightning marks that charges up into an explosive blast.

Tail Thrust

- While facing away from its targets, the Arkveld will slightly raise its tail above its body right before it extends it to thrust directly behind it.

Tail Spin Maneuver

- The Arkveld will stand on 3 limbs and raise one foreleg closest to the Hunter. As it lowers its body, it will prepare to spin by jumping and then hitting the ground with its tail. It will use the momentum to land on its original orientation.

Tail Upswing

- The Arkveld will turn to the side and face the targets on the right while it pulls back its tail. After the recoil, it will swing the tail in an upward manner and use the force to spin its whole body at a 90-degree angle, which causes the monster to face the other side.

Whipped Chainblade

- While on all fours, the Arkveld will pull back its right wing behind its head. After a quick pause, it will whip its arm forward and the Chainblade slams onto the ground. As it retracts the right wing, it will extend the other arm to also whip it towards the ground. There's a variation of this attack where it leaves red lightning on the ground which explodes as soon as Arkveld retracts the Chainblade.
