An item with useless posts nuked by Illia, that isn't something you'll find every day (especially since that is invisible to non-admn).
On topic: some really crazy player talk about this item over the years, and we don't have much since the Ro revamps...

Killed him tonight. While i didn't see him spawn he was standing still in one spot so i'll give that spot away.
You know Derv 2? You know the undead ruins near derv 2?
He was just south of the ruins and just west of derv 2.
If you were sitting at the usual Derv 2 group area facing derv 2 he'd be on the hill to your front right.
I hope this helps. Good luck and good hunting. If you have Track it is hands down your best bet, how i got him.

Just shows to go ya how far the game's progressed.
We could use a modern item window pic of this item, as well a pic of someone wielding it.

Got both pics updated. Noticed I had it on a level 1 mule.
As others have noted: clear the rapidly respawning unded ruins/circle and Rahotep will pop in a random mob spawn point after 2-3 complete clearings. If he has the scepter you'll see it in his hand.
BIG NOTE however: the scepter does not have a Damage Bonus of 26. If it did it would be awesome. But the DB is just 5, making this an adequate newbie magic weapon.
Small note: his rings, his common drop, are not lore so you can keep killing him for rings until you get the scepter.

Damage bonus is calculated off your character level.
He still spawns, I caught him up while passing through the desert. Got the sceptre, though it's just good for selling to merchants now. Back in the day this was one of those heavily camped spawns because it was one of the few magic weapons you could get at a relatively low level.

This was never 'l33t' Minotaur Battle Axe was badass for a time I agree, and this is better than that (8/37) - However, such a weapon aged poorly past the late 30s - even before Kunark. Runed Falchion was sweet, yet even then didn't last much past early 40s (11/34) Basically, Short Sword of the Ykesha was requisite for a warrior as he or she approached the Kunark era. Now, if we are talking about the infancy of the game, when level 50s were fabled and legendary; or if from the perspective of one that's eyes grew wide at the size of a giant spider, then yes; I can see this being a very nice bonus weapon - one that would be definitely be wielded and charished due to its rarity. Even Bladed Thulian Claws were once heavily sought after.
This Guy still spawns. I killed him the other day on Povar while I was running to the NRO LDON Camp. Was checking track with my ranger and thought I would put him out of his misery. He only dropped his ring.
This dude is a random pop, ive seen him 3 times in one day when a small event was on in Oassis. The ring dropped all 3 times, but its cool cause his septer is a joke
I am looking for a better 1hb than my screaming mace. I cam across this while on a cleric website and tried to find it. But I was not able to determine if Rahotep still exsisted or not. But apparently he does still due to date of last post.

Well folks, I'v killed him twice. The first time at lvl 16. I was zoneing into Nro from Oasis and saw a named Mob...BTM, so I tracked him and killed him easly near the tower near the beach...he dropped the Ring. Then the other day we were runniing through on the way to Rathe Mtns, and I saw him on track...found him about mid way between tower and derv camp...not even a fight at lvl 31, and this time he dropped the scepter. I gave it to my lady for her shammie alt (lvl 4). I hear he spawns once every game year, but dont know for sure. I DO know you can track him... Anyway, its a decient club and has a Cool graphic) not a bad drop at all for the lvl of the Mob.
Howdy all. I was at the mountain Derv camp just wasting time. He poped up at the bottom of the hill before you get there. I droped him fairly fast( he was blue at level 19) and got the scepter. Hope this helps you all.
i found the guy tonight, only got his scepter. He was close to undea, i saw him and began to pound him. He conned blue to me, lvl 18 pally, and i used with ward undead and full mana, the thing fell without much trouble. Now i'm lookin to sell this thing.

Server patch = respawn if you want it park yer butt there when the server shuts down for a patch. I was on my way for spirocs and wanted it for my Monk :)
I decided to camp this guy after reading up a lot on this ring, the sceptre of rahotep, and rahotep himself. From the information that I gathered nobody was really sure when and where this guy would spawn or is it was a trigger spawn. So, what I did is sat close to the mid derv camp and sent the shout "if anyone sees rahotep please let me know....will pay!" and what do you know. 20min after sending this message and waiting I finally got a shout from someone saying that they saw it. Now, he spawned close to the mtn derv camp and around 7am game time. I ran just as fast as I could and finally saw him. Also, someone had mentioned in other post's that people couldn't track him and I can vouch for that. I'm a ranger and didn't pick him up. I con'ed him immediately and he was blue and I'm a lvl 17. I didn't take my time and started to take him out. We were neck to neck with health. Luckly I have a whip that prock's life tap. My luck struck and I got some health back and he went down. I got the scarab ring, jasper, and rune of proximity. I plan to camp the guy again and try to get the sceptre out of him. Hope this helps all of you...GOOD LUCK!
Where is the dead headed mummy of misfourtune, i have'nt even seen anyone with this rod, asked everyone is they HEARD of him, so, WHERE IS HE?!?!?!!?!?!
Casually, you should read the posts on the mummy itself, someone got 2 spawns right after another. It's not every EQ year, but it is pretty random. I might check out that sceptre he has, since im a lvl 21 Druid, and can't find any good +wis items for my primary hand, using a Velium Scimitar right now, but my 1HS is horrible. Give me a tell on Vazaelle if you're on that server!
I heard ratohep spawns once every everquest year. Dont know if this is true or just jibber jabber. If true it means you have a window of 10 minutes MAX out of 3 weeks irl. Casualty
