Alpha Wolf

The Alpha Wolf is the lowest level (Level 16) V Blood Carrier in VRising, and likely the first that a player will successfully hunt. The Alpha Wolf will attack any non-wolf creatures that it meets along its path. Interestingly, if the player is in Wolf Form the Alpha Wolf will ignore them.

Location
The Alpha Wolf can be found roaming the roads of the Farbane Woods region. It tends to walk along the roads in a circuit around the central part of the region, near the Wolf Den. The easiest way to find it is to use the Blood Altar to track it since it has no fixed location.

Tactics
Note: Terms used for attacks are not official game terms

Bite - The standard melee attack.

Lunge - The Alpha Wolf will crouch down for a second in preparation and then launch itself in a straight line.

Summon Pack - The Alpha Wolf stops for a moment, howls, and summons several regular wolves to join the fight.

Strategy
Alpha Wolf is the first V blood carrier, as a result this fight is fairly simple and can be tackled as long as the player has been following the quests. However for those who are struggling, it is possible to kite either Alpha Wolf or roaming bandits into a fight against each other leaving you to mop up the weakened victor, be mindful that if a mob is kited too far from the initial point of aggro, they will disengage and return to that point of aggro, this is true even mid fight.

An alternative strategy is to setup your base and mine some Copper Nodes within Farbane Woods to then craft a Copper Weapon which will make you overpowered for this fight and able to take on the next couple of Vblood carriers straight away (this method may in fact increase efficiency if you are trying to get through the starting area quickly)
