This video took absolutely forever to make, oh my lord. I hope it was worth the wait. I didn't even cover absolutely everything about King Vulture harpoons. It's gonna have to wait for an addenda video.

On weapons to use you forgot the jellyfish, best used in big bois like vultures and red lizards. They might be hard to stockpile but you only need one for each region, just dont lose them.
Inevitably I'll make a couple addenda videos covering everything I missed, but rest assured when I do a video on red lizards I will mention the uses of jellyfish.
I am sure they die if you live them in your shelter, no?
They will still zap things after going into a shelter
"Remember that this is Rain World and these things can still fucking murder you" Yep. Best summarization of the game honestly. You can technically master the game and kill any living being (big bois like Leviathans and Guardians require special weapons but still can be culled. Worm grass is the only exception I can think of) but get slightly unlucky or be slightly underprepared and you are completely fucked. You could get to a point where you could reliably kill a Red Centipede but get cucked by a humble blue lizard on your way out of a pipe.
Or 3 kv show up and your to farm from a pipe to book it out and you get shot from the harpoons coming from every angle(this has happened to me one time when I was kv hunting
@@shadowbonbon3 Vulture RNG is something bro. I remember getting into a hell cycle with spearmaster in the sky islands (between chimney canopy and sky islands end to be precise.) Not only did I keep getting an absurd amount of vultures, had to deal with the orange and cyan lizards in the sky islands, I also got a damn shelter failure. All that just for a dumb scav to nick my pearl right before the end. Needless to say, I got pretty enthusiastic about playing artificer afterwards.
I call the disconnected bridge extending from the wall at the top of chimney canopy the vulture execution zone since its so easy to bait them down to the end and then camp them from the shortcut and when they try to escape they have to go down the whole length of the tunnel so they're basically trapped.
though bringing a king vulture in there without dodging the harpoons first Will get you killed
I start panicking the second a vulture shows up on screen, never won a single fight with them, so these tips are very helpful! I haven't really seen any other guides on them, so thank you!
When I got the game: these vultures are op
1 month later: they are good opponent
2 months later: quite a good danger
3 months later: I can defeat them
4 months later: free mask and food and scav reputation delivery yippee!
@@hollowknightenjoyer spam pick up and throw spear while inside the vultures kill zone
1 month old me: I agree
1 year old me: THEYRE LIVING GASBAGS
Jellyfish is super OP when dealing with vultures, it basically stuns them same as explosives but it comes with the added benefit of being reusable.
If you think about it, vultures can barely attack, and if you hit them more than three times theyll just stop moving. Once you learn how to defeat a vulture, you wont be food for the vultures, the vultures will be food for you.
While I can kill a vulture consistently and a king vulture most of the time I’ll be damned if I said a kv never swooped down shot me immediately bit the nearest squid then just left me lying there
With my admittedly somewhat limited experience, I think I found another way to cripple them.
I ended up finding out the hard way that they can spawn in Pipeyard, though I wasn't alone. Had an entourage of scavs on my side, who only managed to damage the wings.
But when it tried to fly away with a meal in tow, it's left wing wasn't working quite right, and it just flew sideways, into a wall, and wouldn't stop.
It's probably not as effective as other methods, but it did prove useful to me, as it left it wide open for me to go in for the kill.
A good way to consistently demask vultures is to hit their head with a rock and then a spear right after.
Thank you for this I was trying so hard
i figured they were pushovers when i dodged ones mouth for 5 minutes just to see if i could, ended up leaving it behind
I just had the weirdest encounter against a King Vulture. I was starting in Farm Arrays attempting to get a vulture mask. I activated the vulture grub and a king vulture came. I evaded the first two shots and then I proceeded to spear him. He resisted like 5 shots but then I missed two and I had been left without spears. The vulture was very injuried... And he was in retreat (walking) . Then a normal vulture came and ate me... And suddenly the King Vulture aimed his spears at the normal vulture and shot him down, releasing me. Is it as he was saying " That bastard is mine to kill"
Masked vultures and de-masked vultures attempt to kill eachother, is it possible that either of them was missing theirs?
Sometimes they do just come in without masks
skulker vulture
bird is the word
Everyone knows that the bird is the word!
unlocked king vultures in sandbox recently, messed around with them and they seem to stop firing their harpoons after being injured (not sure by how much) masked or not
Illegible neon signs is one of the best soundtracks in Rain World
Me repeatedly trying to get the hunter birdwatching expedition done in 1 cycle
The slugcat truly is not to be trifled with.
it has several different subspecies such as: boom boom genocide. Wet handed speedy legs. Absolute weightlifter of a chonker. No mouth spear printer. And le long tongue pacifist chameleon god
@@KyvenTheWarPine you forgot the blackhole time-space bomb weasel
I'm surprised there wasn't any mention of breaking their wings. Hitting their wings doesn't do much hp damage, but if their wings are dealt enough damage they won't be able to fly anymore
oh really? wouldn't that be hard to pull off, stabbing both wings enough for that to happen?
yea but can you run with one leg?
Another solution, if you see a vulture, run. If you *need* to get going, attack until it retreats then *RUN FOR YOUR LITTLE SCUG LIFE*
I remember in survivor i was scared of them but after a while they are just food and mask deliveries...
Also such a great and informative video. The King vulture tips really help alot
When i was in chimney canopy has spear master i saw vultures has food delivery, i dont even needed to kill them
they definitely stop using harpoons then injured, I noticed that too
If I had a long neck and lasers that shot out of my harpoons, I’d love to roll my head around and chase the lasers lol
I like games like rain world and intrusion where whenever a creature changes its position perspective it uses more images which means the characters feel more alive, these games are rare though, atleast for me (don't know how to describe it exactly)
Rain world actually uses procedural animation, basically there are some pre-set animations that the creatures procedurally animate with all their pieces of body, the process is a little different but that's what makes it unique.
@@mishagaming1075 thanks for explaining it, I couldn't find out they do this and how it's called.
Rain World does a really good job making you forget it’s just a pixel art game with how fluid and lively the animation is
you can now upspear as well as downspear now too so if a vulture starts escaping you can try to deal more damage by backflipping and in the middle hitting throw+up to upspear
King vultures gives you a bit more of time by the laser showing before see his shadow
7:28 i think they are scanning the area to check for food, cause they can only see in one direction at a time
I play a lot of expeditions and I started using the perk for back spear and starting with an electric spear, so I carry it on my back at all times for emergencies. Having a backup electric spear makes dealing with vultures laughable, so it's a lot of fun~
7:35 Dude's following his own lasers.
A basic summary of the miros vultures since this vid was posted right before the downpour:
*Miros vultures are extremely, if not ridiculously powerful.*
Anatomy:
Miros vultures have the same lemon shaped body, neck, and double the wings as a vulture, only notable difference is that they have no mask, just a miros bird head.
Abilities:
From the same crusty musty ugly head they have comes scissor-like jaws, that of which will kill you, them, and everyone else. If you even remotely get close to these jaws, unlike regular vultures’ charge attacks, they will instakill you. No exception, just snip snip.
If you somehow managed to damage a miros vulture enough its second attack will trigger-its literal laser beam. This beam starts of as a yellow line likely coming from the miros vulture’s eyes. After a moment, wherever the beam ends is where a fatal explosion occurs. Luckily, due to being dramatically damaged they usually aim downwards and keep the beam from you.
Killing:
In general, just don’t.
Unless you TRULY wanna flex, I recommend explosives, since miros vultures have an active beak that will kill you if you get close. Really the only way to kill such a beast are like 3 explosive spears lodged into the body.
If you’re mentally insane you could use spears but… yeah no we’re skipping that one.
Grenades aren’t much of a reliable weapon either, however if you can catch one off guard you can drop it into the abyss.
Using another creature as bait isn’t very easy, as miros vultures for some reason prefer the scug over EVERYTHING. If you do manage to feed one something though you’ll have to move quick to lodge in those explosives.
If possible, use a singularity bomb, it’s the only reliable weapon and might as well be the on,y garauntee death for a miros vulture.
This is all pretty accurate from the limited testing I've done, yes.
The only thing that differs is that miros vultures activate their ranged explosive attack *on taking any damage at all,* up to and including a thrown rock. If you're careful, you can use this to interrupt the instant death snipping (while it charges up the attack), get some hits in, and then get into cover to dodge the explosive. Thankfully, they also have the suicidal overconfidence of miros birds and don't tend to run away that often. Enough repetitions and patience and it'll eventually die.
Eventually. They are tanky as hell and any fuck up will lead to death by snip or death by explosion. "Just Don't" is good advice.
There'll be a video on these things too, eventually. Probably. Given sufficient time.
@@ForgettableYT most of the stuff I wrote here is going from the wiki and a few “hey I’m bored let’s open the arena mode” tests lol
Also That’s weird? Last time I remember a single spear didn’t get those living tanks to wail out their laser. Probably has to do with the anatomy tho, as those spears mostly hit the wings. You might’ve just gotten lucky with that rock and hit its head or body. Cool to test out though!
Edit: goldfish memory strikes once again lol. Turns out they ARE big babies and cry after one spear. Though It could’ve been that I used explosive spears instead?
From my experience, the best way to fight them is stunning with either an electric spear/jellyfish or using a flash bang (although I believe their mouth still swings around dangerously and might nab you if you get too close), but electricity stuns them completely for a decent amount of time and you can get a few hits in before trying to restun them to keep them locked. They WILL NOT use their laser guided explosive when stunned nor their beak and are completely harmless for the duration, BUT DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THEM!!
counter-strategy: artificer I killed like 3 in underhang alone
Once killed a vulture with the help of a local scav pack, first playthrough. Treasured that mask.
Great video, this will come in handy when downpour comes out
downpour was part of the reason i rushed to get this video out lol
Rewatching this after my first few king vulture kills. Your tips are on point.
7:29 it's like the lizard spin, we have no idea why, but it's funny and they like it.
Even though i am too afraid (and bad) to even look at these when they spawn, this could be very useful for when i do my hunter run!
Thanks for the tips, I just had my karma reduced to 0 by these pricks in chimney canopy when I was playing hunter and I had to restart
Chimney canopy is always "time to get ganked by king vultures," yes.
What I usually do is make sure I'm at chimney at a high enough karma so the echo triggers, and I can just run past it straight to the wall. This limits vulture spawns in the rooms leading up to the wall, and you can go back through the region gate next cycle to grab it.
@@ForgettableYT fuckin awesome strategy, i remember on my first playthrough i got stuck with a grapple worm for THIRTY CYCLES in chimney, i got good at using Beaufords tho (grapple worms)
Can't wait for strategies for the Deathening of red lizards
I’ve never seen anyone swiftly deal with one in a 1v1.
@@forkgodsdescendant2503 This might count:
ua-cam.com/video/XH-xuLrhTvs/v-deo.html
Eventually there will be a proper killment video on all of the lizards, but I hope this suffices for now.
Oh i was actually interested in learning about these
Funny thing is i always start my Hunter runs with a king vulture mask since hunter always spawns near a vulture grub room.
I've always been alloyed when their masks deflect my spear half of the time and the other 50% of the time leads to a De-mask
And i liked the clip where you de masked a dead vulture, unfortunately you need to be in a somewhat open spaced to do the backflip, either way nice to know that info
I'm currently doing a gourmand playthrough and i want a vulture mask in garbage wastes to make my survivability 999% easier. I'll definitely keep this in mind
I just remembered that Minos vultures exist.
I think that’s a more formidable foe.
MINOS PRIME VULTURE
@@greg04958 god
I only realise my spelling mistake 8 months later
You get their mask and then when they comeback they won't go away so you just spam that grab and throw button until they dead.
Very nice guide! I like how you explained this in a very simple and understandable way, with actually proper English.
Actual*
I’ve been told that vultures won’t grab you if they can’t find a path back to the sky, so if their stuck or grounded

You can see their shadow on the background right before they appear onscreen. Exactly details like this why i love Rain World!
my strategy:
checklist:
1. sit in a pipe facing either left or right
2. have an absurd amount of spears at your disposal
execution:
operation: spearstorm
once they’re low enough on health they can’t fly away so just go in and finish them off
I'd just like to compliment the music choice of Illegible Neon Signs, it's such an underused song
I remember when I watched this as a new player and now I just find it hilarious that the best advice I got from this is “don’t be a coward and just stab em”.
The intended effect.
8:01 made me laugh a bit too much, you slugcat got blasted to rain heaven
your title cracks me up
King vultures can be easy to kill, but everyone likes to brag about killing a bunch of them in chimney because that’s where they’re easiest to kill. Anywhere that’s not a giant flat location with no other enemies is much more dangerous.
Smash that like button like it's a king vulture that killed you on your way to Five pebbles
One time I was playing arti in its special region I will not say which, and I demasked a king vulture that or a scav I don’t remember it to clearly but it definitely can still shoot it’s harpoons they just do it very rarely
Time for the downpour creatures killment videos
king vultures don't seem to use their harpoons when demasked but if they get demasked, and then come back in another cycle/arena round, they will use their harpoons
your vids have been helping out a lot but do you have any strategies for combatting white lizards and red since reds are a nightmare and whites i can't beat very consistently
I know I keep mentioning videos that'll eventually come out in ten bajillion years, but a generalized bulk lizard video is on the itinerary.
Once, jolly coop, me (spearmaster) and my friend (artificer) were farming vulture masks
Also, king vultures are weak, change my mind
Good.
Now the centipede video
Dead-ass thought they were invincible because arena
how to kill King Vultures: be spearmaster
Tbh I feel like they would be better if they wouldn't run immediately after two spears, and maybe make them less crippled so they can fight back.
It's realistic though, most animals would usually run away if they realize their opponent is stronger than them.
2:00 how to reach karma gate to canopy? Every time I kill 1 blue lizard 4 more of different colors will come and just sit still until I die. Because I cant farm carma due to food lack and due to low karma I cant reach the gate normally.
I mean I never struggled this much with any level in any game
My strategy is having a desire to murder in Rain World
It makes sense a demasked vulture wouldn’t run but instead kill sense other vultures will kill vultures without masks
So you basically took away its identity and other vultures will kill it because “WhO Are You?!???”
As spearmaster ive killed four kind vulture and a miros vulture just because I could in this one campaign, in every other scenario as Spearmaster or not they’ve killed me so, you know
I thought slugcat is supposed to be at the bottom of the food chain? 😄
Im your 300th sub! Can I pls use the vulture attraction dance? Please?
it was patented in 1986 so it expired years ago, feel free to use it
Does this mostly apply to miros vultures as well?
A guide on killing miros birds would be appreciated as well
My first king vulture kill was when i pipe camped him and threw spears at his wings for long enough they were disabled. He fell into a pit and i baited out his harpoons so he was not able to get them then i climbet at the top of the room and jumped on him twice and he died
I really have to look into this wing disabling thing, huh.
Does anyone know how many cycles a vulture will hunt you after you get it's mask? Cuz I was playing in my survivor save with 2 slugpups and I stabbed a vulture once, to my luck it hit it's head and now it's been murdering me or my pups for a while. I just can't progress because of it and I can't fight it bc of my pups 😭
7:45 vulture rain dance💀💀💀
Is it possible to parry king vulture harpoons like how you parry spears
3:45 i won't respect the cripple birds
The only vulture I managed to kill in my game was a king vulture , I felt like a neo after killing it
Time to make another video on the Miros Vulture
Initial experimentation on Spearmaster shows that they can tank an explosive spear to the face. Also, unsurprisingly, they retain the instant kill bite of miros birds. And they have a ranged explosive attack. Engage with caution.
Step one: be spearmaster
Step two: find a vulture grub and a pipe.
Step three: call 3 vultures and go through pipe
Step four: make spear, go back out through pipe, pretend you're in London (shank)
Step five: go back in through the pipe and repeat step 4 and 5
Free food.
i played rain world for 3hours this week and i found the first vulture ever i knew they existed before but i really spioled the king vulture part on myself never knew there was such a thing glad pepole still make rain world content i got into yesterday after watching the video about "most complex eco system of any game" video thats viral what does wearing the mask do again?
the mask makes other creatures scared of you
Would be cool if you manage to kill a king vulture you could take its harpoons
what about miros vultures?
Do a killment of miros birds and vultures cause they are less of pushovers
How about Miros Vultures ?
The first time I killed a vulture was with my scav bros 2 of them died though but I got a mask
Do one for red lizards lol
Guide on miros vultures when?
Now do one for miros vultures
its kinda sad that vultures are such a damn pushover while they are presented as this big foe
It looks like you're using the same spear on enemies over and over. How are you doing that?
My understanding is that once a spear is thrown at an enemy or wall, you can never use it again.
Is that not true? Can you pull them back out?
Or is there a way to use the spear without throwing it?
spears embedded in creatures can be removed and used to stab them once more -- in this way they are infinitely reusable
Wheres the miros vulture?
Miros vulture isn’t even a real vulture if you don’t think about it
hey uh, do vultures respawn?
Eventually. I know it takes them at least a cycle because I could only get maybe three vultures in a cycle before I had to wait for them to regenerate.
oh i see, thank you very much i was doing an expedion with the hunting expeditions (the ones where you kill a specific enemy a few times and got 15 vultures lmao
The text moves way too fast, but otherwise good video, thanks
This. This is the singular fatal flaw of this style of video. You gotta be a fuckin speed reader if you want to comprehend them.
