Rare Wild Hunting Mob: Cursed Stone Cobra

The <Cursed> Stone Cobra is a rare wild animal you can hunt with a matchlock. It can be found in Drieghan, in the mountains south of the Dormann Lumber Camp Node. It spawns in relatively safe areas, amidst low level goats and snakes.

Rare hunting mobs are difficult to find, but drop an unusual amount of loot from butchering them. Respawn is randomly between 12 and 24 hours. The map below shows potential spawn locations.

<Cursed> Stone Cobra Hunting Mechanics

The <Cursed> Stone Cobra will spawn an additional 2-4 cobras when its health falls below half. If you kill the clones first, you can butcher and loot them also, but if the original cobra dies before the clones, the clones will disappear and you will only be able to butcher the original cobra.

The <Cursed> Stone Cobra can be more challenging to kill than most other rare hunting mobs because of the clones. You will have 3 to 5 cobras rapidly striking and poisioning until you can kill them. It may take some practice before you master how to separate the original Stone Cobra from its clones. 

I’ve nicknamed him the Stone Cold Killer Cobra! Ouch! Consider bringing health pots and Hunter’s Salad which decreases matchlock reload speed.
