The Icebound Spirit  

This Spirit set me back a few days and caused some frustration.

The first time I went after it, I turned in my seal to Janomin and ran my 52 beastlord(with dps merc) and 75 ranger(with tank merc) to the bottom of the king's room, and the Spirit came running through the giants' door on the left. He wasnn't any harder to dps down than the others, but when he started running after 20% he managed to make it all the way to Lady Vox before I noticed he left and went to find him. My dps merc was killed by giants, my beastlord was killed by Vox, and the tank merc killed the Icebound Spirit but I didn't know where his corpse was. My ranger was banished once she was in the vicinity of Vox. After running both characters back to Permafrost to search for the corpse, I wasn't able to find it before it rotted, and the scout had already despawned.

About 3 days later, I went back knowing better than to fight him on the lower section of the king room. I took the same characters and mercs, and left them at the top, just after the 2 grates. I marked the ranger as Puller, went down to just before the giants' door, and the Icebound Spirit came running through. Keep in mind that he will not summon until he's damaged. I ran him back up to the top of the room where the other characters were, and took him out pretty easily. Note that he did not run down to the giants/Vox when he was on the upper level of the king room, he instead went back toward the entrance.

Unless you can thoroughly dps that sucker from 20% to dead in no time flat, I recommend using this method and just pulling him to save some tears.

ok so i did the turn in with the seal but no bear has any one else had this problem?

I was down here with my 67 Cleric. Waited at zone line for a few minutes, then decided to run down there. I wiped out the king area and walked up to the door leading to the Ice Giants when Mr Bear aggroed me through the door. An Ice Giant joined in and the fight was still easy. When the IG was loh, it ran. I stayed on the bear and had him down to 30 percent. Next came a IG Priest which banished my Cleric to Everfrost. I switched over to my BST, who went down fast with 2 IG and the bear now on him.
After recalling what happened, I am going to assume the IG Priest done the banishing, not the bear.

Can someone confirm?

Thanks

at 11:00am this morning dropped spirt with 71 pally, 61 warrior and 55 sk has a lot of hitpoints, dropped totem for friends beastlord

This mob was kinda a let down, the way everyone spoke you'd think it was almost impossible to kill. Duo this guy with a lvl 70 shammy friend. The bear furried once and did hardly anything, highest hit was 225 but majority hit was 180. it resisted shammies slows and only took about 5 minutes to kill. can be stunned but not rooted. best tatic is to pull to ZL that way when it runs it wont get to far in and get CH by the giants

I'm also a 66 Beastlord, and this guy is NOT an easy fight. I do not have any uber gear though. However I solo'd 4 of the other quest spirits. I just have this bear and the wolf left.

But after the fight with the Bear, I know I won't be able to solo him. For whatever reason my pet was missing hits a lot. This bear also hit me a LOT more and a lot harder than any of the other spirits so far.

This Bear also did NOT come to the front of the zone like some have said. I waited 6 minutes and he never showed. I had to run back to that kings room, and he still didn't attack until I fought my way farther in. Unless he was wandering somewhere else.

Would be fun to run around Perma, slaughtering the place with this guy buffed up. I'm guessing he's not? That'd be too much fun.

Fairly easy solo fight for myself, 66 Beastlord with 162 AA's. Simply cleared a path from entrance to Goblin King room. Ran back and handed seal to Scout. Ran back to Goblin King room where Bear jumped me, no adds. Resists with Ferocity were all between 198 and 280. Nothing to it.

I tried this guy with my 60 beast and 55 cleric. never came to meet me at zone found him at king spawn. Got him to about 70% before mobs kept adding onto cleric and eventually couldnt keep heals going.

Went back with pallie and killed him took a long time even with beast pet and pallie. Anyhow my beast had 5.4k hps with buffs but even so guy didnt some considerable damage pretty fast, the one in lfay was challenging, but I'd say this was most difficult

Ok I tried the wait at the zone in tonight on SH. It did not work. We waited 15 mins. So my and a 65 Shammy just went to it and killed it. It was easy.

Tried it today and the mob will come up to the entrance of zone if you wait. Pretty easy mob for us too. Had a 65 ranger, 62 Pally, 61 Cleric, and Me, a 56 Beastlord, and we had no problems at all.

Found out today, you don't have to clear out dungeon to get to bear. We had a group of:

55 wiz
59 paladin
62 cleric
54 shammy
62 bst
and me 64 beastlord

We turned in the medal and waited at scout. About 3-5 mins later, the polar bear came roaring through the hole above the ladder. We beat him up, and totem was mine. :)

Thats really ****** what happened to you there, however if it happens again and you want to get payback, get a Cleric with DA and DB up to go and run into Vox's chamber and agro her, than book it out using DB and DA to the Buff room. Vox will follow you there, than sit back and watch the fun :)
