the ghoul lord  

I got there, his placeholder was there, killed him in one nuke (I'm an 88 mage with over 1k aa's)

30 minutes later the named spawned and dropped the sword.

I am using the sword for my level 12 ranger on cazic thule server.

whats Repawn timer for this thing?

For those not familiar with Lower Guk, the ghoul lord is found at the dead end of a hall in the eastern lowest level. Most maps have him marked on it (if you have downloaded them).

His location is 1557, -749, -167

I was hunting him for the Crown of Deceit quest, in 5 kills he dropped the following:

3 skull-shaped barbutes
1 short shord of the Ykesha
1 Scalp of the ghoul lord (5th kill, the item I was after).

His spawn cycle appeared to be the regular zone-wide time (I want to say 18ish mins but cannot do so with authority).

how does he get to the froglok king without falling apart????
Hes undead(and ugly)!!!

I dragged a couple friends of mine down to Lower Guk to camp an SMR (there were NONE for sale in the bazaar, I couldn't believe it), we were there for a few hours and we basically just kicked the crap out of the entire basement hall, from about frenzy on up.

52 mage using 51 earth pet
51 cleric

We managed to pull this guy twice, the first time he stayed aggro on me through most of the fight (very annoying, but the cleric just cast remedy as needed), soon as I landed slow on him the 51 earth pet tore him a new one, didn't even need to heal the pet through the whole fight. He dropped the Barbute the first time and a Yak the second time. Fun stuff. :)

We were there for about 4 hours, the AM spawned just before we left, but he had the damn legs. :( We also managed to kill the hand three times (Serp Bracer x 3) and the Frenzied once (Ring, bah).

(Trading Yak for SMR? :D)

The Fabled Ghoul Lord doubles for 300-1k+ damage, flurries, enrages, and is partially slowable. Easily farmed by a 65 (Time-equipped) monk, 63 beastlord, 63 cleric, and 55 cleric. Possibly duoable, but 3-4+ people recommended.

We did this earlier today with relative ease. (62 Monk, 54 Cleric) First off IVU is awesome on the undead side. Once you are invis vs. undead you can just run spot to spot / camp to camp without ever having to fight. We consistently ran from the Executioner's room to the Bloodthirsty/frenzied room.. and finally to the Lord room as well as the re-animated hand. (also Arch Magi near lord room) Everything is on about a 20 minute timer.
The Ghoul Lord has a surprising amount of hp's. The monk immediately killed the pet and proceeded to wail away on the Lord after that. I Chealed maybe twice with a couple of Divine Light's in between. It was an easy and controllable fight if you pacify the 2 mobs on the left and the right of the Lord. He dropped the Barbute (weak). When fight was over we invised again an ran to the next spot.
We spent just over 2 hours in LGuk and killed the Ghould Lord once, Bloodthirsty Ghoul twice, Frenzied once, re-animated hand once, but we never got that pesky executioner to spawn /sigh.

As a 65 monk (moderate mostly dropable gear) around 3,100 hp, I cleared the hall up to him, cleared his guards, took his HT, waited for disc and mend to be back up and HP regen to full, (wearing a fungi) and then charge him, kill the pet, start raping him with inner flame and blow mend when I get 50% health. I have successfully killed him 10 times, I had helm drop almost every time, and a yak one of the times, I don't know if my luck is just plain horrible but I can't get him to drop the G-danm scalp, but It gives me a reason to keep factioning, as I hate factioning ) -still KOS after 10ish hours of faction and going through two rollbacks in ONE hour.. those really blew, I hope the patch today fixes this S*IT. I suspect I have a long time to go till im Indifferent to live side.

I'm a pretty well equipped 55 Pally, 1250ish AC 2800ish hp self buffed w/ 22% haste item + 25% pally spell haste, and this guy is work. Oh, and use a Widebladed Greatsword, 35/35 2hs.

Probably about a 8-10 min fight for me yesterday, w/ KEI, fearing him alot so that I could heal/med up during the fight. Post 54 I can fear with no risk of adds here. It might be doable earlier too.

I had cleared Lord Hall up to Lord, but was worried about backpops on the way to the pit so I fought him just outside his lair. Actually should have just taken him inside the Lord Room since I had just cleared other 2 mobs first w/ pacify pulls.

His HT landed for 611, he hits very fast and for alot for an old world mob. I needed to LoH, and after one add (the wanderer), I killed Lord with 5-10% mana and 5-10% health. Way too close for comfort, but certainly a good challenge!

Other than fighting him inside his room, which should eliminate the add (I think), I'll bring along a shammy DS potion or three next time. That would make a big difference. Too bad his loot is way worse than the ArchMagus, who now is pretty easily dispatched with KEI and chain stuns.

with a 65 monk he is pretty easy. I was doing faction here for woody illusion crown earlier today and I never got hit by his HT out of 15 or so kills. I have runspeed 3, of course, which is probably why. Dropped Ykesha twice, I never looted him so I don't know if he dropped anything else. There was a level 38 there who looted all the corpses I left in the safe hall, needless to say, a now very rich level 38 after the 7 hours I was there, still threateningly in faction btw.
