![]() ![]() I've seen reviews regarding character motivations and a long set-up, and I can see some of those negatives I suppose. This is my first Barker read, and although the novel is clearly a commitment, it is just fantastic. I'm not even halfway through (it is a massive book) but I have to say I am just overjoyed with immersion. I read mixed reviews but decided to pick it up at my local used bookstore. I read a post here in the late summer, inquiring about Clive Barker's Imajica novel.

She bravely returns to Coroa to confront King Jameson when she finds out that he, too, has carried out unspeakable crimes. When Etan wants to lead a revolt against his own King Quinten, who is just one of the novel’s major betrayers, Hollis uses her wits to get the evidence needed to convince others that he is guilty of crimes against his own people.

It may be a little tricky to lock on to, but most Wyverns shouldn't take more than 10 rockets.Ī high level Fire Wyvern can easily kill most Alphas by just hovering in the air and biting.Īlso a few Velonasaurs make easy work of an alpha wyvern if put into turret mode and levels mostly if only in health and possibly kept in safe distance in a trap or a structure to keep the wyvern at a safe distance. Homing Rockets are also useful tools against them. Rock Elementals, with their rock throw attack, can easily make short work of Alpha Wyverns. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed. Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness.
