[edit] Description

Strider is the name given to all Moa Birds (from Post-Searing Ascalon) in Pre-Searing Ascalon. They can be found in the fields outside of Ashford Village and near the gates of Ascalon City in Pre-Searing Ascalon. Contrary to the information on the Prima Guide and copied by many other fansites, they do slashing damage just like regular Moa Birds, as opposed to Piercing damage. They are sizeably bigger than the normal Post-Searing Moa Birds.

• Pre-Searing Ascalon
  • Lakeside County
  • Green Hills County

• Black Moa
• White Moa
• Moa Bird
• Wintersday Moa

[edit] Notes

• Outside of the Barradin Estate, a strider spawns next to a resurrection shrine. This bird is very useful for death-leveling.

[edit] Trivia

• Previously, if you attacked the Striders near the location of the Beautiful Feather outside of the Ashford Abbey and killed them, one or more aggressive Striders would appear and attack you. This is believed to be an allusion to the killing of Cuccos in the Legend of Zelda games.
• Striders unlock the Moa Bird in the Zaishen Menagerie, as they have identical appearance. Once you release the Strider into the Menagerie, you will not be able to get it back, and will have a Moa Bird option instead.
