About
The Timber Rattler is an aggressive creature that applies the Poisoned effect when it attacks. It may drop an Etterfang (rare) when butchered, which can be crafted into Rattler Serum.
- The tooltip for this effect is:
- “You have been poisoned by a Timber Rattler. The effect of the venom will drain your Phlegm, and inevitably knock you out, unless you can administer Rattler Serum in time.”
The best way to avoid being poisoned is to avoid the snake altogether: stay outside its agression range or run to shallow water or behind a closed fence. If hunting snakes, it is best to kill it in one hit (Bullrun seems to work well with 18 Yellow Bile or more): wait until it stops moving before attacking it; however, once poisoned, you can fight it like any other low level creature. If you don't have the requisite Yellow Bile for Bullrun, you can load up on stones, shoot one with your slingshot, then run across a shallow stream and pluck away at it. At 9 Yellow Bile, it takes eleven shots to kill one, including the initial one to draw aggression.
Timber Rattlers sometimes spawn when lifting old tree logs and might also spawn when lifting up rocks. Be cautious when lifting such things.
