Ok so i see all these posts about how he's pulled into the hallway and pinned, to avoid roamer flurry drake adds, but no one has mentioned how you bypass the call of the zero that he casts. Does anyone have a good strategy for pulling this guy into the hallway if duoing him? As soon as you get to the top of the steps (the slippery one) he agros and immediately summons you to his belly via Call of the Zero. with no levi, you're stuck in his pit unable to get over the mini wall back into the hallway, and you have a good chance that a flurry drake will roam by his pit and add. Would shooting off an arrow from the almost top step and then running back to hallway work or will he just CoZ you to him anyway?

Sometimes, at 20%, Aary will gate/tether and be restored to full health and be completely dispelled. I'm in the process of killing him now, and he's done this 15 times. It's been over an hour. After this long, I'll break eq before I let him not drop something. Aary has had this issue for almost a year now, maybe even longer, I've bugged it more than once and nothing's been done. I'm glad they fix LoN problems within hours while real issues in the game are forgotten.

he seems to cast Call of the Zero a lot...I got the emote
"A malevolent force drags you across physical space."

So been twinking an alt with some north tov loots. When i started to encounter a problem with aary. He will gate when i get him to 20% ending the encounter with no aggro, as if the fight never occured. Someone said something about keeping all hatchlings dead. I have done that as well and aary would still gate. Then after a few times pulling him, keeping all the hatchlings/eashans guards/flurry mobs, and knocking him back down we are able to kill him. Happpy we killed aary, but still not knowing for certain what we did to kill him. So we have the same problems 3 days later, when he repops.

I didn't see it mentioned here, but I just killed him the other day and he repeatedly used the most annoying spell in EQ . . . Call of the Zero.

Is his AE LOS? ie--can we turn him around and nuke him from behind or will his AE still hit us? And if his AE is not LOS, how are healers expected to heal MA if he's walled to far away and we are on the ramp not able to see MA? It seems as though us nukers have no purpose on this fight. This is all presuming our MR is too low to resist AE.

This weekend our guild the Spirits of Fire finally found Aaryonar awake and taunting us from his precious pit and behind his guards. It took the lessons of one afternoons fiasco attempt to return vindictively and gain access to NToV for seven days.
There were only 27 of us, with one non combatant , ally, coth Mage that was essential. It was possible with 2 monks pulling to clear the guards and single pull Aary. Casters avoided AOE mana drain by staying on the ramp behind the wall while melee pushed Aary into the wall hard. One tank stayed on named while others peeled off and killed the chickens which spawned every few minutes. It took quite a while to achieve success, and hope to are not attachhed to having much mana 8)

Okay, so my guild is Enlightened Dark from Tarew Marr, and the other night we finally managed to take down Quarm in the Plane of Time. We were all very happy to 'beat' PoP persay, so upon beating Quarm we were given a couple of days off from Raiding. So we decided to take 6 people and see how much of NToV we could do, we brought:

65 Warrior
65 Cleric
65 Shaman
65 Monk
65 Bard
65 Rogue

We are all PoTime geared, myself as the warrior has 7592 HP Unbuffed, Cleric had FT15, etc. So we cleared the Hub all the way to Aary which took a little over an hour, and then we cleared the chicken mobs.

It was fairly easy for us to split Aary's guards, and we engaged Aaryonar in a very short time. The Cleric hid behind the wall to hide from AE, while the shaman was out a bit further. The Shaman Malosed, then got a couple resists on Slow, but it landed after I belive 3 attempts, he then got behind the wall to hide from AE Too. After that it was easy as cake.

Other mobs we killed with one group that night: Lord Kreizenn, Dagarn the Destroyer, Lord Felshak, Lord Kelorek'Dar(sp?), and Zlexak. It was a fun night that we hope to do again soon !

After the latest patch I'm not certain if it happens, but when we came to ntov to find out that Aary was indeed charmed by Lord Feshlak. Since feshlak was permarooted the pull wasnt too hard but we got a couple adds due to feshlak aggro during fight. This happen to anyone else?

I am not a monk, so I do not know how to split him, but here is how it goes while he is being pulled. In the hall with the steps up to Aary, have the MT stand midway in the hall, making sure all hatchlings are dead. Have everyone down the ramp near where Eashen of the sky's room is, making sure Eashen is dead. That blocks the AE, so this is where casters and clerics will stand. Aary's AE is a mana drain/attack debuff. It doesn't last long but it is one hell of a mana drain. Once Aary is pulled, let the MT get aggo and go defensive, having the clerics start rotation at 3 seconds. Aary hits for a max of about 900, but is fully slowable. GET HIM SLOWED ASAP. Once he slowed, you can start the CH at about 5-6 seconds. You pin Aary on the left wall of the hall leading up the steps, which is also left of the ramp. Make sure you keep Aary poisitioned on his side and push him into the wall, so the back of the MT is to the wall, and that the MT is not out of heal range. Once the MT calls attack, all melee rush in and start fighting. Have one person call out the AE, he does it every 10 seconds. If there is an add, hatchling, guard, anything, EVERYONE BUT THE MT has to rush to kill it. You can have the casters call this so everyone knows. Make sure you don't have aggro on Aary as well. Also, keep a bard next to the clerics playing mana song so they won't run out of mana so fast. And I cannot stress how imperative it is to keep him slowed as best as possible through out the entire fight. This is a VERY long fight, we did it with 31 people, no deaths. Most of were 60-65 though. Once Aary dies, get phat loot, and move on through the rest of NToV. Good luck to all who try.

To pull Aary:

1) Enchanter (me) goes to the top of the steps (do NOT get above the steps or youre FOOKED cuz you slip and slide and come into his aggro range and youre dead :P).

2) Send Wizard1 eye up and out into pit, target Guard on left. Send Wizard2 eye up and out, target Guard on right.

3) Assist Wizard1 (who should be on steps behind you). Pacify (Recommend Cha over 250 for this) left guard. I had pacify resisted one time with 261 cha so far (pacified em 3 times, one wipe and one no-pull).

3) Assist Wizard2. Pacify right guard. Wizzys RUN back after this or they got no mana.

4) Drop into pit, TURN to make sure no interrupt, and tash (good thing to have an emote here to let the raid know he's pulled). As SOON as you drop into pit he's a comin so you gotta have your wits about ya. And he is not in range from the steps, though if you could possibly get your balance on that slippery spot you could tash from there, I've flubbed it before there so not a good idea.

5) MA standing on steps tags with bow when you're dead. He came single both times.

Yes, tashacide is an ugly thing but it is necessary for Aary as you MUST have him slowed ASAP. Since Aary is a long fight, you can consent someone to drag your corpse, they can do this from the steps and rez you behind the wall so you can get mana while not getting hit by his dot (have the cleric that is in the chicken-fighting group do this, not a CH cleric). Have another chanter C ya or gather mana. Chanter is pretty much useless this fight (our nukes take FOREVER to cast so we'd be oom cuz of the dot anyway, and rune isnt needed if you got a good CH chain which we do 8)) so I just nuked with the wizard on 2nd cpu and waited till battle was done.

Btw, I don't know the rules on other servers, but on Xev if you kill Aary, NToV is yours till he spawns again 8). The other dragons (killed 5 so far) are pansies compared to Aary.

We brought 37 to kill aary, almost all over 60, half of em 65. Estimate 200k hp.
