Snow Harpy

Snow Harpy is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma.

Overview[]

The Snow Harpy is a stronger variant of the common Harpy, similar in most respects except it is found in colder northern climes of Gransys, and possesses an icy breath that may freeze its targets. They can be distinguished from regular Harpies by their white wings.

They are very weak to fire-based attacks and resistant to ice.

Attacks[]

Attack Type Description
Dive Attack Phys Quickly dives at a target and slashes them with its talons.
Grab Spec Grabs a target and attempts to fly off with it, and eventually drops them at great heights. Fall Damage from a sufficient height will be fatal.
Harpies will also eventually shake of Arisen who have grabbed onto them.
Sing Status Starts singing with a sleep-inducing voice, other Snow Harpies often join in to make this process faster.
Frost Breath Mag/Status Breathes short range ice breath at a target which can cause Frozen.

Tactics[]

Harpy ride bluemoon tower 1

Flying a Snow Harpy allows relatively easy access to the upper walls of The Bluemoon Tower ...When a harpy is near and in flight attempt to grab it to take a hold.

Main article: Harpy.

Tactics for dealing with Snow Harpies are the same as for their cousins - however they are tougher and more resistant to magick, but also very weak to fire.

  • Any fire based skill, item, spell or weapon is useful against a Snow Harpy.
  • All shortbow and longbow users: Equipping Oil Arrows and then using a Fire buff will set these arrows on fire; this is the poor Arisen's Blast Arrow, which are even more effective.
  • For Magick Archers: the striking power of an Explosive Bolt is strong enough to down a Snow Harpy, even without exploding the charge.
  • If a Pawn gets Frozen solid by the Snow Harpy's breath, the Arisen can simply grab them and put them back down to unfreeze them.
