The latest update to How To Train Your Dragon has introduced the formidable and highly sought-after Skrill dragon. This lightning-wielding creature is available through a limited-time event, offering players a chance to add a legendary beast to their collection. This guide provides a complete walkthrough of the event, detailing how to participate, defeat the enemy waves, and understand the drop rates for all six Skrill skins.
The Berserker Island Skrill Event
The Skrill dragon is exclusively obtainable through a special public event on the new Berserker Island map. This event is the only way to acquire the Obsidian Egg, which contains a random Skrill skin.
Event Duration: The event is active from November 9, 2025, until November 23, 2025. Be sure to participate within this time frame.
Event Frequency: The event spawns every fifty minutes on Berserker Island. It is recommended to arrive a few minutes early to gather with other players.
Recommended Level: While accessible to all, it is strongly advised to be at least Dragon Rider Level 2 or higher to contribute effectively and survive the enemy waves.
Event Walkthrough: How to Earn an Obsidian Egg
Completing the event follows a clear wave-based survival format. Here’s what to expect:
Travel to Berserker Island: When the event is about to begin, navigate to the Berserker Island area on your game map.
Defend Against Waves: The event consists of multiple waves of enemy ships. Each successive wave features stronger ships with more health and higher damage output.
Destroy the Final Boss Ship: The last wave culminates with a large, powerful boss ship. Coordinate with other players to focus your attacks and take it down.
Claim Your Obsidian Egg: Upon defeating the final wave, all participating players will be rewarded with an Obsidian Egg.
All Skrill Skin Drop Rates
The Obsidian Egg grants one random Skrill skin upon being opened. There are six different skins available, each with its own drop rate. Based on available data, the chances are as follows:
| Skin Name | Drop Rate |
|---|---|
| Default Skrill | 19.7% |
| Copperclaw Skrill | 17.5% |
| Gullinn Skrill | 16.8% |
| Darkspark Skrill | 15.2% |
| Blodulfr Skrill | 18.4% |
| ThunderCloud Skrill | 12.4% |
As the data indicates, the ThunderCloud Skrill is the rarest variant with the lowest drop rate, while the Default Skrill has the highest probability.
Tips for Farming Your Desired Skrill
Farm the Event Repeatedly: The event can be replayed infinitely during its active period. If you don’t receive your desired skin, simply wait for the next cycle and try again.
Team Up with Others: Coordinate with friends or other players in the server. A coordinated group can clear waves faster and more efficiently.
Focus Fire on the Boss: During the final wave, ensure all players concentrate their attacks on the large boss ship to end the battle quickly and secure the reward.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I still get the Skrill after the event ends on November 23?
A: No. The event and the method to obtain the Obsidian Egg are time-limited. After November 23, 2025, the Skrill will likely become unavailable unless the event returns in the future.
Q: Do I need a specific dragon to complete the event?
A: No specific dragon is required. However, using a powerful dragon you are comfortable with will help you contribute more effectively to defeating the enemy ships.
Q: Is the ThunderCloud Skrill stronger than the others?
A: No. All Skrill skins are purely cosmetic and offer no statistical advantages in combat. Their abilities and performance are identical.
Q: What happens if I get a duplicate skin?
A: The game’s system is designed to award a unique skin per Obsidian Egg. Once you own a skin, you will not receive it again until you have collected all six variants.
