The Luggald Broodmother  

Adds do NOT need to be killed to kill her..... thought I would clear that up
Also, you can pull her single.

At the end of her walking, right when she becomes targetable, her adds will path behind for a second, when they do, you can quick pull her into the cave and fight her. She hits about 670 max i think, not that hard to kill.

you dont have to kill all her adds before shes targetable, is just a sony myth, she becomes targetable once they are all spawned, can just leave all the adds to unspawn. i solo her all the time

We went to Nadox to take out Innoruk , and on the way clearing to him , we spawned this beast .
If you start clearing your way to Innoruks room , you will have to wipe out a hallway just before Innys room. It is here that the apprentice shall await you. Kill the apprentice , and Broodmom spawns. She isnt targetable. If you would like , follow her around (this was our method) . Everytime she makes a stop , she summons minions to her side. You can wait until she has all her minions summoned, but we wiped them all out as she summoned them.
She should make about 4 stops , summoning about 20 minions until she is targetable. If you follow her , she should be at the opposite side of the room by the time she is targetable.
Very easy mob to kill. Has a few HP but the melee end is nothing to worry about at all. It might be a raid encounter for lvl 50's characters. I would assume most people that spawn her are prolly heading in that direction to kill Innoruk anyway ...which means you will have plenty of force to kill this Gill-faced thing.
I believe she dropped the ring and the shroud the two times we have killed her. Decent loot for alts / lower lvl characters.

Well we killed the apprentice not sure what it would do and she spawned, well it said that she despawned in 15-20 mins if not attacked so... we left her alone and got ready for inny....10 minutes or so later our druids drops we turn around and theres a giant train of luggalds and her!~ figures the monk just pulled inny so now we have all these luggalds on us and inny on us.... lets just say it took all of 5 mins to wipe us NOT fun!! about to do the 2nd try
-----------------------------------------------
she despawned when we got back and we did inny with 9 of us only 4 being 65! omgz we rock ;) was fun shes a meanie so if ur doing inny dont kill the guy that spawns her!!

Cake for a 65 Druid (Elemental geared), with Innate Camo and Exodus...Spirit of the wood helps (if you get alot of root breaks) BM hits hard and hits fast...SotW may be all that will save you getting back to zoneline if you get stunned...

Kill PH until you get BM to spawn then stay invis while the defenders are summoned, once all the defenders are summoned you can now target her...pull BM with something other than snare...innate camo and head for torigan mines...If you are really good you can get BM to Zone Line all by herself on the first try...if you get popped re innate camo and drag all you have to zone line, BM is faster so chances are BM will be closest mob to zone line when you come back in...once you have her alone near zone line ensnare root and dot...will take you a while to kill with DoTs alone...I did several Winters Frost but you can almost count on it breaking root...

The first few times I tried this I died...but since my first success I have yet to DIE again....but the ring that is the really nice drop is semi rare...

Visit my guide at eqdiva.

She's a fairly easy solo for a decently equiped druid with Inate Camo. Exodus helps, BA4 rules with all your high level dots (VoT, SD, IoR, Epic), and hopefully a c5. I'm not that well equipped. Self buffed like 3300 hps and about 5k mana pool, 4.5? /shrug. FT7 or so.

Pull everything to Torg zoneline (including ambassador to spawn her). Everything will wander off except the mobs you snare (ie Broodmother and Ambassador to spawn her).

DoT her to death, don't get hit she can quad for 490s, but with even so-so equipment, she'll never 1 round you let alone 2 if you are 65. There's really no reason to die once she is by herself at zoneline.

I have had no problems except for pulling I've died a couple times cause of weird geometry. I'm on test server and they are messing around with dx9 right now, so sometimes that stupid trap door is really difficult to reopen and I got dogpiled a couple times.

Very easy solo. Rot her after her buddies leave. The whole spawn sequence and everything from zone in to death of BM takes probably about 25 mins. Good luck!

Hello bards )

Here is the way to "chant kit" the Broodmother solo:

Kiting the Broodmother in Nadox walkthru :

What you need :
_ Run speed 3
_ Fading Memo (x2, better if x3)
_ Ervaj lost composition (mana drain) if adds (that you surely will have in the beginning)
=> or if you don’t have this song, remplace with a resist song (fire, cold, magic).

Song line up :
_ DoT chant x 4
_ Ervaj lost composition
_ Marr (or any heal song)
_ Invis
_ Resist song (fire, cold, magic)

MAP:HERE <= very important

First of all, you have to go check if the luggald ambassador is up in order to trigger the Broodmother.
Target it, send a DoT, cast invis and go back up to the « kiting aera ». Kill it and run to the zone or FM.
=> At this point the Luggald Broodmother will pop but is untargetable.

Invis up and go to the point A.
The path of the Bmother is the blue line. After 15 minutes or so, she will stop in front of you (big point blue) and will become targetable.
She is surrounded with 4 Luggald Archseeker (clerics) and 4 Luggald defender (tanks)

You will want to eliminate the clerics in the process (they will not heal the Bmother but cast nasty 620DD all the time).

Here is the way :

When at point A, move your cursor on your invis icon, click it, but do not stop your song (invis is back in max 6 sec).
As soon as the Bmother aggro : move to point B. Have the « npc spell on », when you see one of the Archseeker cast (sometime, if you are lucky 2 or 3 at a time will cast), run and wait 3 secondes then hit FM. You will be around the point B. (usually I continue running to avoid a DD wich can break invis). This will result with the loss of the Archseekers along the way.

Repeat the same from point B to point C.

At this point C many possibilities :

_ If you manage well, the Bmother will be at the entrance of the tunnel in your line of sight with just the defenders and all the Archseekers behind her on the way down.
=> The Bmother has a huge aggro range, so drop invis in the « kiting aera » and move slowly to the Bmother until she start chasing after you. Begin the normal chant kit.

_ You are in point C and there is 1 or 2 Archseekers still with the Bmother. If you have another FM you can train the Bmother at point C (with hope that Archseekers will cast) and hit FM in the center of the « kiting aera ». But I think most of the bard will be out of FM here.
=> (we will do with 2 Archseekers) Go invis target the 2. Go back to the « kiting aera » and drop invis, move slowly to the Bmother. If you are very lucky, (I was once :p), the Bmother will come alone. But normally everything will come after you.
You can :
_ chant kit the Bmother and twist resist + heal.
_ mana drain the 2 Archseekers (you can choose a special key to switch between your 2 last target) + heal with a string instrument then chant kit the Bmother. (The Archseekers will only cast once or twice when drained)

_ If you have more than 2 Archseekers : pray........

In any case, the kiting will last at least 10 minutes ! ! (I have IM3, TdoK and I kitt during 8-10 minutes to take her down without add)

And......voila !
Grats for the ring, the hammer, the boots or the shroud (for a friend :p )

Don’t shiver too much ! :))
Good luck all )

i've heard it's possible for a bard to kite or swarm kite BM... dont' know if this is possible.. but was hoping someone someone might know some more info.... (been gone from eq for a while)

65 lvl bard

just got the ring

12/23/03

Hello,

I killed her 11 times now and I never see a ring...
5 boots, 5 shrouds and 1 hammer so far...

Can someone confirm that it still drop the ring please? )

Thanks in advance)

Killed LB couple days ago (a level 65 druid can solo this mob if he/she knows how) and she was even to my level 59 cleric hydra (who was with me for the clearing to the trigger). Had a sham with me but i could have soloed her easy, sham just made it a little less time...

He spawned on us in the room where the BM ph is and wiped us, is this new?

A few hours ago:

Was solo camping the Seer charm in Torgiran and got super bored so I poked my nose into Nadox. Saw some Amabassador guy up and looked up his info - thank god :P

Pulled the ambassador to Torgiran zone in wrongly assumuing BM spawns from corpse. Ran back when he died and nothing spawned - oh BM up and 5 adds - BM not targetable. ACK! It will despawn! Agrod the adds hoping the BM would also follow. No luck. Ran out to Torgiran and came back. OMG 15 guards. BM targetable. BM soft agrod, more ADDS from nowhere - EEK! OUCHIES!

Won't spoil what I did but the adds did not become a factor when I pulled the BM with snare to Torg zone alone. Had 50 mana at that point no KEI/VoQ. /shrug. It died...eventually.

Dropped some cape with 3% mod to Abjuration (might come in use at times - a FIZZLE on BoTN is always discouraging.

Two comments:
1) The loot table on this mob is insanely weak. It is one of the zone's bosses and if raid forces engage it by the spawn area with the adds then the encounter is non-trivial. Fine it hits 490 quads max which is not much and I guess it is probably slowable but come on...encounters like these are where the ADDS wipe the raid even though the main target is relatively gimpy. Example? RZTW - enough said.

Mob sems geared for a levels 50 through 60 raid. The cloak drop is comparable to a hiero. I kind of doubt that a decent sized 40-person + raid force that works through the adds with mez and add groups will find that single cloak drop satisfying. Even the ring! Add a focus effect or something! The ssra Emp key is almost comparable to this drop :(

Bottom line: SOE should either decrease the difficulty with respect to the mass adds or enhance the loot table. As it stands IMO the mid-level guilds that take the time and effort to work this out are getting shafted.

2) DR00DZ, not druids, but dr00dz go solo this mob please. Some of you dr00dz make our class look real bad by strutting around like hot-shots until you get blindsided by a charm break or an add and then running like little weenies or evacing - leaving others to die.

Stop talking and put your money where your mouth is. This mob is a very good test to differentiate those who can, and those who are full of it.

AA and smarts required for druids to successfuly solo it. Cockiness is not.

So if a druid soloed her that means she dont summon right? just curious in case I attempt to be crazy and try this motha solo, though seems pretty tough seeing the placement of the ambassador...

Hits for about 450, the stuff she spawns will corpse camp, and some are clerics.

Yes, solo. I've been working on this mob for a while and have died on the pull a few times and have had to bail on attempting the kill due to bad placement after an iffy pull maybe a dozen times. Tonight was perfect, got her single out past the shrine and spent maybe 30mins root rotting her dead. Massive HPs on this lady, but didn't resist a single spell. Dropped the cloak for me. Color me one extremely satisfied druid! Time to find a new challenge :)

I've wandered around a few times trying to find the Ambasador or the Muther but can't find them. Can someone tell me where the 'back room' is please.

Thanks

Slowable? How much does she hit for? Any AE?

where is this ambassador? never seen him on tracking.

ohh, and does she summon/AE/proc anything?

Decided to trigger this one last night
by killing the ambassador in the back room there..he cons indifferent. Kill him. 50 foot tall Luggald spawns, and walks out towards the main room. As she makes her way down the hallway, Defenders of Broodmother spawn and follow her blindly. Broodmother makes a pit stop at each entrance, gathering 2-3 lemmings with her. She will make a complete circle of the inner section. When she reaches the opposite side of the room(from where it began) on the SECOND PASS, she becomes targetable. The aggro is INSANE, had some peeps in the far back room and she ran form one side of the luggald section straight toward us, which is a good quarter section of the zone.

Have fun ;)
