About

A Timber Rattler icon.png Timber Rattler is an aggressive creature whose bite will cause you to become Poisoned icon.png Poisoned. This debuff will cause your Phlegm to quickly drain until your are cured with a Rattler Serum icon.png Rattler Serum or your Phlegm reaches 0, which will cause you to be Knocked Out. Timber Rattlers will attack anyone who gets too close to them.

Timber Rattlers can be found throughout the New Wold, but are the most commonly found the Badlands icon.png Badlands and Crag icon.png Crag Biomes. Rarely a Timber Rattler will spawn when lifting up Hollow Log icon.png Hollow Logs or Boulder icon.png Boulders.

Note: A Timber Rattler will sink if killed over Shallow Water.

Fighting

Because a Timber Rattler bite will cause the Poisoned debuff, you typically want to kill it quickly to avoid getting bit. The safest way is aggro it with a Shot from a Slingshot icon.png Slingshot, then use a Bullrun icon.png Bullrun to Stun it, run away and then repeat.

If you are Poisoned and don't have Rattler Serum icon.png Rattler Serum on hand, the fastest way to get it is to port to Providence and buy it from the Stalls for 250x Silver Pieces icon.png Silver Pieces. Rattler Serum can be carried easily in a Gadget Belt such as Snakeskin Belt icon.png Snakeskin Belt, Highlander's Sporran icon.png Highlander's Sporran, or Plymouth Rock Sash icon.png Plymouth Rock Sash for just such emergencies.
