Praklion of the Cauldron  

Edited, Mon Feb 16 15:35:49 2004

Soloed him twice today. Learned a bit about him when I was trying to figure him out when he kept running off and depopping on me.

He repops in about 30 mins if he depops or is killed. He always pops in the same spot on the bottom of the Cauldron. When he casts the slumber AE, it wipes his aggro and you have to reaggro him. He will regen as if unaggroed while you are slumbered.

At 70% life he will totally deaggro and run off to a 2nd spot on the bottom of the Cauldron, the entire time he is running for the spot, he regens as if unaggroed. Once he's at spot 2, you have to reaggro him, he'll slumber AE again, then you have to reaggro again and pull him, At 30% life he again takes off for a 3rd spot on the bottom of the cauldron, same as before. Pull him again and kill him. when he runs don't let him sit still too long because he's regening the entire time.

He's a little buggy, if he ae's slumber and you're far enough away, since he wiped aggro, you can make it away fomr him and he will stand where he was unaggroed. He does not return to spawn on his own when unaggroed. This is prolly to make it so he doesn't run off on you every time he AE's slumber. But, as a side effect, you oculd leave him wherever you wanted in the zone, potentially to eat noobs goingto unrest. So he's coded to depop if he goes unaggroed for too long. This is why he depops while fighting sometimes. He is unaggroed when he is running to his new spots or when he AE's Slumber.

It's an anoying fight but not that hard once you learn it. By the way, anyone hear of him being solo'd yet? Heard people duo'd him. I think it's cool I might be the first one to solo.

I tracked this guy to the bottom of the lake. not hard to find. I also found Treanik Ireblade on track, white con to 65. She conned dubious, but gave me the whole *you are not a berserker* speech. I think it is not a coincidence that Praklion drops her ( ogre female ) lost axe for berserker quest.

Here's A PIC of him Dead, looks like a LARGE Faydedar

My curious druid found this guy at the bottom of the lake, northeast of Kedge Keep. He mezzed my druid for a bit, just to toy with him, and give me a good luck at his tooth filled mouth. Then of course he had a snack of halfling druid.

I was in DC looking for rats for my beserker when I saw him on track. I had to get my corpse summoned, as I died under him. He later despawned, then respawned a few game-hours later. While he was despawned, I swam down to where he was, and saw a few other dead druids laying about. LOL. He seems to have developed a taste for the druids of Norrath.

Later I was levatating above water above him when he was up, and he didn't aggro on me.

My guess is that he is for the Beserker Epic quest. The giveaway is the no-drop statless axe he apparently drops.

We went into Kedge to drop 2 tainted/corrupt for a few druids when another druid friend of ours showed up late and was having a problem finding the KK zone in. He just happened across this lovely beast who nuked him for 1200 dmg 3 times in a row off'ing him. As the known rezz and rescue for our guild, 62 warrior, 62 cleric, 62 BST, 59 Druid, 63 Monk we decided to go in and get his corpse. This mob caught us completely off guard. He casts this lovely AE spinning stun but also has this AE that makes you seem very very drunk. Needless to say the Warrior and Monk went down fast, my BST pet held the mob off long enough for the cleric to mem and cast gate, twice, since the first gate was unstable and for myself and my druid to, well, sort of run, to zone. He followed my druid out of the water and toward the Unrest zone line stopping in the corner of the zone. About 15 minutes later he despawned.
