After killing in various tube rooms for a few cycles, I decide to look around more. With shrink I was able to look through the walls and I saw that he was up, on the other side of locked door. A guildie comes to attempt to open the door as a rogue shroud, but is unable to as a shroud, despite having been through this area before with a player rogue the day before. Tried and failed at pushing a mob through to be summoned through, so I wondered how I could get to him. I went as close as I could to him in a side 'tunnel' off the hall straight out from zone in from The Grey through a hidden wall. Trying to look through the walls and see him, I was running up against the door/wall when I see Commander Zazuzh tries to hit YOU, but misses! I run out into the hall he follows me through the door/wall. Surmazed and aprized, I proceed to kill him and loot my idol. Nothing else dropped aside from some plat and gold.
Just Soloed this guy on a level 70 druid I had 7.1k hp 7.6k mana and 120 AA's was quite easy killed 1 See invis mob on the way to him then pulled him. His max hit, with 2 Shielding and 1350 AC, was 304 Dropped idol, shissar fang, and poison sac
Zazuzh's Idol drops from Commander Zazuzh (Warrior-56, no special attacks, no special defenses). The commander has many placeholders throughout the zone, all on the first floor of the Shissar Temple. It's rumored that every snake on the first floor can be a place holder for the Commander, but I've generally only seen him spawn in the tube rooms going up to the 2nd floor, and sometimes in the 3 spawn room before the first locked door en route to the Assassin room. The tricky part is knowing if the Commander is up already. You could bring your group and start clearing MOBs in a certain area, killing hundreds and hundreds of snakes, never seeing the Commander spawn once -- because he's already spawned elsewhere on the first floor. If he's currently spawned in the zone, in a different area from where you are camping, you'll never see him. Bring a ranger with track, a rogue how can sneak/hide and explore the entire first floor, or use a wizard eye spell (although that won't allow you to see past various locked doors on the first floor). Without these, you risk wasting a lot of time camping a MOB that may never spawn for you, because he's spawned elsewhere in the zone.
Time geared pally got bored and visited Ssra again for memories. Old Zazu was up so i paci-pulled him into the tunnel from the ent. Average hit me for 67-154, max of 204 with 2100ac, defensives thru OoW. He dropped alot faster than the sun revenants at the lake in the grey. If you can solo them, u can solo him. (they average hit 55-62 with 127 max on me).
Edit- forgot to mention, started fight at 44% mana, finished with 38%. Gimp for any 70 toon in todays game with semi-decent DoN/OoW drops alone. Would bet most 65 chars couls owne this guy solo, but definitely bring a few heal pots and remember at 2100ac, max hit was 200, Don't overestimate your HP pool :)
I(65 Beastlord) was lucky enough to come across this mob while killing stuff around the zone. He took about 5 minutes to kill and I started the fight with about 50% mana, very easy. I used Paragon but it wasnt needed.
Last night we were at comm 1 right and he spawned 2 times back to back and neither time did he have a bridle, first time he dropped the key and the idol and the second time just the idol and no key, the druid in our group got the idol to finish her emp key and the other went to a cleric now I just need mine (plus all the others.. lol)...
Anyone killed it lately? Ive been camping ot for so long, Ive pulled the 3 mobs surrounding the tops of the tubes and killed Comm2 6 times and still not received a spawn of comm1 after clearing both camps for hours and occasionally clearing the assassin room. Has the guy always been much more rare than comm2 or the 3rd floor mobs? after the last patch I've not seen him once. Before that, i saw him pop in multiple camps simultaneosly; many times.
He spawns on the first floor, but does not spawn in the same place each time. One of the common places to camp him is in the room where the shissar assassin spawns, you need a rogue to unlock the door and disarm the trap to get there. Another place he is camped is in the room with the water tube up the first ramp from the entrance.
