I got lucky and spotted it while hunting undead. I was near Derv Camp 3 and it was about dusk. I targeted it with 2 Strikes (75 pts and 55 pts) before engaging it in melee. When the battle finished I had no Mana left and 2 bubs of life left. It does hit pretty hard. There are occasional mummys and madmen, so be careful. I did get the shield. (big grin).
