Vulkanus

Description
Vulkanus is a tamable Elite enemy found within the Broken Caldera instance within Hakanas Highlands. He is part of the Main questline, and is required to be tamed for any progression of the story to be possible. The quest that you will obtain to go and tame him is called Familiar Ablaze.



Strategy
Vulkanus is the first Dragon you'll be required to obtain. When you enter his instance, you'll be greeted by a large fiery Golem standing in a river of lava. As once you climb onto any of your flying mounts and approach, it will instantly start throwing boulders at you that can hit you, stunning you momentarily and sometimes knocking you from your mount, tossing you into the lava which can kill you if you don't remount in time. The key to this instance is do not stop moving. There are Golems lined up along the lava river as you fly through, continuously throwing these boulders at you. Right when you enter and climb on your mount, there is a window that will pop up on the right side of your screen, explaining how to use Gliding. Gliding is a speedy way to get around, and in this case, to avoid taking little to no damage from those flying boulders as you make your way through the cave to Vulkanus.

How to Tame


There is a light veil of steam at the top of the cave, that is the height limit. If you hit it, and don't move out of it quickly, it will gradually kill you. Give yourself a little bit of height and begin Gliding, the first tunnel you come to you'll need to dip down a bit to go through, then you can gain a bit of height again to continue Gliding. There are jagged spikes coming out of the cave walls, avoid those as best you can, they won't damage you, but can halt you and result in you getting hit. Once you've gotten through all the twists and turns of the cave you'll come into a larger pool of lava. There will still be some Golems in this area, so be careful, Vulkanus will be flying idle at the end. Now some people suggest trying to take out the 2 Golems in the area, but as they have a lot of HP, this might take a while and you could still die. Best idea would be to just fly straight at Vulkanus, with your Taming ability active, position yourself just above where he is flying and jump down. Keeping in mind the boulders are still coming at you, but once upon Vulkanus, can no longer damage you. There may be chances you'll miss, but if you can hop onto your mount again and get into the air, you will be able to try again. You can not lower his HP to increase your taming success chances.
