Ive found more hematite on these guys then I have found tapestries. Been hunting for 1/2 an hour clearing the land of all creatures with my level 20 Necro and have looted 17 brains, 1 tapestry, 4 hematite and more heads then I can count(though I just leave those on the corpse.
To make them pop just chain kill every mob around this loc : +6000,-5500 A pet with SOW really help. Sarnak must pop fast goblin agro sarnak and kill them too. ;)

Good advice, they do spawn frequently. none at this spot but all can be found from this spot. some fromt he NE and a some to the SW. and do kill the darn goblins as well. I killed the kittens as well but I don't think you need to in order to protect the hatchlings from being killed before you can get to them
Just got through reading these posts on the brains and tapestries. I must have gotten really lucky. Had tapestries drop 5 times (both torn and ripped) in about 90 minutes while I was hunting brains for the quest. Couldn't loot more than one of each tapestry, though. Figured I'd have both 1st and 2nd rank skullcaps at once.
Unfortunately, I failed the combine on the tapestry. Been another 90 mins, and haven't seen another one drop at all. Bah.
I've seen the torn and ripped tapestrys several times and i didn't know what they were for. Being that I don't normally loot no drop items, I left them behind. Now that I need them, I can't even find the sarnak hatchlings let alone the tapestrys. I finally got a torn, but I haven't seen a ripped. I'm getting real tired of hanging out in an area with greens just to find this stupid thing.
These accually spawn much faster then 15 minutes, more like 2 minutes. The problem is the gobos and sarnaks are enemies, and the stronger gobos (hunters and watchers) take these out soon after they spawn. My suggestion is to wipe clear all the gobos in the area, then all the cats and what not to keep the spawn rate up. Worked nice for me. Got the 8 brains in about 30 minutes (seems to have a 33% drop rate on brains). I have yet to see any pages drop, so I share the frustration on the 2nd skull cap. Anyone know if the drop is broke? I'm starting to think so. GL all.
Just like Tindarl stated almost a year ago... You turn right as soon as you come to the first ruins. Between there and the base of the mountains, you will find the Hatchlings. Now here is something I found. There are only 2 Sarnak Hatchlings that exist. You kill these 2 and you have to wait 15-30 minutes for the next 2 to pop.
If you go further southwest, you'll start to run into Sarnak Broodlings. You won't find any brains on these guys (on there way to being Flunkies.
Now, I'm looking for the tapestry for the 2nd rank. I've found brains and heads so far but no tapestry's. Sounds too rare.

When you enter LOIO from Cabilis just turn right after the ruins. There are usually skeletons, sabertooth cubs and kittens, goblins of all sorts, and the sarnak hatchlings. After spending levels 5 to halfway thru 8 here the common drop is the head (always), then the brain (1 out of 5), and blood (only have 2 so far). Not once has there been any tapestries or helms.
The heads are for an SK quest and the brains for an ok low level quest. I just hunt these things while waiting for skels and goblin watchers, good quest with those watcher torches (3 get you an aloe bandage). Always keep bandaging skill maxed, it can save you when the mana is low.
These are fairly easy to find in the newbie area between the small town outside Cablis and the first set of ruins, often wandering around in the 1st ruins as well. If you are having trouble finding them it is probably because they drop various item for many quests making them quite sought after. Besides the 5 items listed below, I have also looted a bronze ring off one. (Wt 0.1, does abloutely nothing)
Ok, great sometimes brains, sometimes tapesty ..whatever. Can someone tell us the obvious info we came here for. Where is that whole silly zone can we find them????

Around the newbie area, you'll find usually no more then 2 hatchlings at a time. After they're killed just kill other mobs (cubs, kits, whelp, skeletons, scouts, etc.) to increase the spawn rate of hatchlings. The chance of a hatchling spawning quickly increases the more you kill other mobs. The drop rate of loot will be posted on a different string.
They drop both brains (pink in colour )and their head. The heads for the SK quest and is the common drop the brains are rarer but you should get 4 easly in say 1hr.The also very rare drop 2 diferent pieces of tapestry for necro 2nd rank skull cap quest.

Posted:Nov 15 2000 at 8:26 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) you got it backwards, Brains common, heads rarer, I've been looking for days and have yet to see a head on these scalies but I've taken off tons of brains and hands and all that other fun stuff
Just kill one and it drops a brain of some sort, but tis not the hatchling brain its named something else, they are used for a iksar SK quest for a weapon upgrade, and more i think. So just go out and whup up on one and itll drop the brain u r lookin for)
