Petrifin  

method that seemed to work, was keeping all mobs but basilisk's dead in the basilisk hill area in about 30min he spawned for me. had the named Sergeant Herptol spawn (actually left him up) but ALL the other trash mobs.. including the orcs skeles robbers i was killing. also kept the few mobs that were up at the 4 way dead.. hope this helps someone

I was standing in the intersection at 1035 -2293 for a solid 18 hours killing everything there. I saw the named orc a few times, a couple of Hasten Bootstrutters, and a couple of Maldyn the Unkempt, but no Petrifin and no Brother Zephyl.

I was at this location when I saw Petrifin on track and tracked him to 1704, -2437 (right where it says Maldyn the Unkempt on Good's maps. Needless to say I killed him, and it appeared to also give me the Mortificator Syythrak checkmark on the Hunter achievement.

Regardless, I saw him around 1704, -2437 and witnessed Brother Zephyl, Hasten Bootstrutter, and Petrifin in that same path on the east side of the zone, the one which goes north/south.

I did not witness Mortificator Syythrak there, but I did also get the named orc, and Maldyn the Unkempt at the eastern 4-way intersection which is at 1059, -2349.

Every mob that traveled that path went into the hill giant area/came out of it, appearing to de-spawn upon going into it. Hasten de-spawned within the path, about where I killed Petrifin, while only Brother Zephyl went Northeast, as opposed to NW into the hill giant area, into the dead-end tunnel and de-spawned there.

I stayed for several more hours, and saw nothing of note other than if there is that a cyclops and a grizzly bear PH will fight, with the cyclops winning of course.

So my conclusion is sit in that eastern path and kill everything going in/out of the hill giant area.

Was working on trying to spawn Mortificator Syythrak in the south east of the zone.
I killed a lizzardman warrior and petrifin spawned.

Information provided below is correct. He spawns in the SE region and will path up. I stood in the valley on the south side of the crossroads at the Feerrott zone in and he eventually came by. PH seems to spawn after about 1 minute as said below but may take longer to fully path up.

I had a char parked there for a total of ~24 hours and saw him twice during double spawn weekend.

No set location that I know of. I sat at the bug monument at the center of the zone ( 1600 x 300) and killed anything that walked by for an hour. then had to run afk for 4 hours. When I got back from afk, track looked different by only 1 mob : Petrifin and he was beating on me. mostly hit for 12, but rarely got a big shot in for 60. I assume I spawned it by killing those pathers at the monument. I was trying for Mortificator

Took this thing down with no prob on my 53 Necro today and i got a stupid eye that no one knows what is for he was DB just snared/feared/pet attack and DoTed and he went down in a bout 30-45 sec

I can only tell you he is tough....I ran into him at two different locations with two different Toons........I do not care if I ever see him again, but as much time as I spend there with each new Toon if mine, I am sure it is ineveitable....just hope that if and when you run across him, that you are in good health with lots of mana.....and if worse comes to worse....J-Boots or Sow is good to have on....lol.....This was not written to help...just to warn those that have not faced the wrath of this mighty little creature!

This guy almost killed my 35 druid. Hits pretty hard and stuns for a long time. Within a few seconds i was down to 28% HP and with no mana on, saw no other option to run. Little persistent guy though, but i reached zone line without getting stunned again.

Some higher level guy killed him and he also dropped the Gloves of Rallos Zek (hence the subject of this message). I believe these gloves are used in mage research, but don't flame me if I'm wrong here.

The D-man

I was killing hg's minding my own business and he jumped on me. I ran. My husbands 45 lvl druid stepped in and died lol. He then pops back, roots it from a distance, dot's it and kills it. Nice bracer, got it in the bazaar for 200pp. We will see what happens.

This guy suprised me when I was playing with my enchanter. He started stunning me back to back and hitting me. Luckily I was charm killing a hill giant with a hill giant so when he was done my giant pet came over and took him out easy. Giants are immune to stuns so it was the perfect against him.

I was hunting In Rathe with my lvl 44 Wiz when I heard a shout go up 'Named Balsik at Med rock' I dashed over there just in time to see a lvl 52 drood choke on his last breath, dunno if he picked up aggro when he was low HP and mana? then a shaman took over from him and died in like 15secs again dunno if he joined in the fight in a poor state, as Petrifin starts walking off I click on him to see his con, DB to me and see he's also low HP, well I kinda felt a little guilty the other 2 guys dying but hey! <shrugs> you can bet if I'd joined in I would've been flammed for KSing. so one nuke later I get the exp and the Bracer, some guys get all the luck <sigh>.

Hi, pointers:
Petrifin is double hitting for 97 damage, and hits with like 25-30 delay... His stunns can sorta be resisted if you got good magic resist (I had 54), he stunned me once, and thanks god only once. I was all alone and he started hitting me, OUCH! started kiting (as a bard, 3x chants twisting in Selo's Chorus once in a while and Amplification), he stunns for quite a while, I would say 6-8 secs... I didnt have a healer or anything and wasnt buffed so 6 secs getting hit for that hard is very dealy. Avoid him if you're alone... and IF you consider kiting, stay FAR FAR from him, at the range limit, you dont want him to cast a stunn in.

Anyways, I got Granite Bracer :-) Was pretty happy! HEHEHE!! Finally upgrading serpentine bracer.

Was standing at entrance to HG valley talking to a friend when i see a basilisk approaching, no big deal, they are all over. WRONG, this thing starts whupping up on me with melee hits in the 90's and stonebreath, plus a nasty stun. I start running for the zone at half health when i realized i hadn't taken him down a half bubble. Well i never made it, called the closest guildy cleric for a rez, and added one more to my must kill list. Now that i know what this beast drops, i will defenitely look for him when killing giants for cash.
