This rare only spawns at night and will typically patrol in from outside the ruins. I cannot tell if there is a placeholder for him but I do not believe so. Once you kill him, in about a minute his level 30 undying version and its pet will spawn in and charge the ruins.
From 5pm to 5am kill everything around the ruins. I was using my wizard and temp. flux to pull and gave the chain a good hit of area cast. Sometime during the night Varsoon may spawn.
I also saw a glitch with my ranger where Varsoon appeared over the hill then vanished. So when killing keep the ruins clean and keep a watch out for him because I think he spawns right over the hill.
I approached him at 5pm on a Friday (ingame time+date) where he was standing in the middle of the ruins. At 6pm he walked away heading to Surefall Glade.
Since they added hunter achievements for original Everquest zones i decided to try to camp some of the npcs. Only 2 to camp in Qeynos Hills for the achievement. Pyzjn and Varsoon. I easily got Pyzjn. Tried many hours to try to get Varsoon by killing stuff near the ruins. I made sure to kill a mangy rat and a putrid skeleton when ever i saw them on my druids track which i thought were possible place holders. It didn't seem to matter. So maybe someone with more experience would have better luck than myself. I just remember many years ago this guy would spawn a lot compared to Pyzjn but now that Qeynos Hills is essentially a graveyard i can't seem to find him.
I have seen that list before but never saw an explanation. I guess im a dummy because it doesn't actually make sense to me. Do i match MONSTER_1_NAME a_mangy_rat with MONSTER_2_Name a_brown_bear and the first MONSTER from #'s 3/4/5/6/7. I have killed plenty of a mangy rat. Do i keep killing it if it keeps spawning or do i look for a brown bear or a decaying skeleton? Or should i just kill everything on the list and cross my fingers? I will need an explanation to make use of the list.
Yeah just kill anything that wanders to the center of the ruins and stops there. They have several spawn points, but all of them will path to that spot. Varsoon took me a good 5-6 hours of that. Got like 12 Pyzjns in the same time.

Pyzjn and Varsoon have several spawn points but I believe all of their PH spots are the center of the ruins where mobs will stand still. Basically just kill everything on that list that roams in and around the ruins.
Thanks for the information everyone. I did some camping recently. Killed everything near the ruins for a game night and he didn't spawn. Tried again later on only killing center of ruins sometime after 11pm game time and he showed up on my druids tracking. He was walking towards the ruins. Ran over to kill him just in case something might have attacked him before he got to the ruins.

They are on the same spawn table. However they will only spawn at night. You know where Pyzjn's spawn point is at so you know where the PH's spawn. Just keep killing those PH's.

Varsoon says, 'How dare you address me thus?! Your ignorance shall bring your doom!'
(He conned kindly, but attacked from hail. Faded off, tried to trigger any dialogue, but got nothing, so I attacked)
Varsoon says, 'Darkness and decay shall claim your flesh!' Bloodsabers -200 Guards of Qeynos ??? (max, maybe 30 or 50) Opal Dark Briar -20 Priests of Life +3 Corrupt Qeynos Guards -10
Varsoon's corpse says, 'HA! FOOLS! Your gift of rage has been most appreciated. My evil shall life forever, thanks to you. Bertoxxulous shall be pleased... argh... Hhhsssss....'
(loot was a Dagger, nothing else)
Varsoon the Undying shouts, 'RRRAAAGGGGH! You Ignorant fools have no idea what power you unleashed! HA HA HA HA HA!'
(I saw Varsoon had spawned over towards Surefall and pathed to the ruins, and the undying version wasn't at the ruins where I killed the live version so I high-tailed it and saw him attacking Chanda Miller. Scowled, and as soon as he killed her he turned on me. No faction hit or loot, just a couple platinum.)
