Sir Lucan D`Lere  

Cannot be charmed... in case anyone else was wondering, tested it today just to be sure

Even with the adds, was able to solo with 65 Ranger, with nothing more than conviction. Shaman sat and watched. I think he has some popcorn, I'm not sure.

Pulling D`Lere alone is very easy. Get someone with a pet to do the pull while the Paladin waits by the zone line to West Freeport. I've tested it twice and we isolated D`Lere alone each time without his guards to assist him (the gurads do arrive later, but much too late to be any help to poor dead D`Lere).

Pet pull instructions: Have a person without faction hits against the Militia set the pet to attack D`Lere in the Militia House. Have the Paladin waiting at the West Freeport zone line. The Pet Owner should stand on the balconey ledge and order the pet to attack (order the attack using tells), then jump to the floor and run out of the Militia House. The Pet Owner should then run to the zone line and recall the pet. The pet will pull D`Lere to the zone line. Once D`Lere is in sight and alone (at least he should be alone), have the Pet Owner zone to avoid fraction hits (the pet owner should NOT be in the group attacking D`Lere, and having the Pet Owner zone will keep it from taking faction hits against the Militia) . D'Lere is now alone to attack to kill both his human and undead form. Make the kill, loot the testimony, and zone to West Freeport before the guards arrive.

anyone know when its gonna be unbroken? I also tried to kill him today but could not.

The guy cons white to me and it wont let me attack him, anyone know what is goin on? I know its him and im in the right place because he is at the exact loc and has the same peeps in his room as said in earlier posts. Whats happening!!!!!!!

i have killed Sir Lucan D'Lere about 3 times for my pally's soulfire quest, and i am still aprehensive to Brother Hayle in South Karana for the final turn in, so he just rejects the stuff >( any suggestions?

He is no longer in WFP acording to track I'm in EFP right now and he's on track.

Clearly the stratigies that were previously used to kill him are now moot and need to be re-thought.

I don't like the new FP....

PS, the cow patty that was in WFP is still there, it's larger now (so watch your step) and it's steaming....

Spent 2 days checking Sir Lucan in West Freeport to see if he is up for his part of Soulfire. So far, never seen any sign of him at all. He seems to be missing in the game now. Anyone seen him lately?

Lucan is remarkably easy to solo as a 55 Ranger, as I found out today. I simply walked into the militia building, nuked him through the door, and ran to the zoneline with east commons. Doing this pulled all the hall guards, as well as the gate guards, but with SoW on none of them touched me. Just before zoning into EC, I turned and ensnared Lucan. I then zoned into EC and back into WFP to clear aggro, and there was my snared villain all by himself, having been left behind by the unsnared guards. Using DoTs and some arrows, I killed him without taking a single point of damage. Earthen Roots from my Planestriders Greaves landed about half the time, but I used that pretty much for experimenting... never was needed (just kited back and forth). Ensnare landed 75% plus of the time, though you probably only need it to do so once... it lasts nearly 15 minutes and he was dead long before that. Upon killing him his undead form popped of course... I melee'd this instead of kiting, and never fell below 97% health. Easy pickings.

this little puss is gonna rule freeport in 500 years??? Man i guess he must've been the highest lvl thing that survived the cattaclysms.

Took the man out with a 57 cleric and a 51 paly.

Now perma KOS? What about doing the highhold pass quest for orc scalps?

The spawn time of Sir Lucan is 4 Hours after

his previous down. : >

Well,
Honestly this guy is a bugger... After researching I have come to the conclusion that the guy himself isnt the problem you are gonna need to face... Its all the mobs around him that you should draw concern. My advice get a chanter. Its doable with any class that has mezzing or pacifing spells but better safe than sorry corpse retrival in this city while you are KoS is like a <insert profanity of your choice here>

Participated in a Lucan raid and want to fix faction. So far have turned in over 600 orc scalps and still KOS even with human form (chanter).

Can this faction really be fixed? Has anyone done it?

What is the Spawn Time of this evil and corrupt former Knight of Truth?

Yesterday, Justice caught up with Sir Lucan D'Lere. Again. =)

I, Kyros Krane, a Paladin of Erollisi Marr, initiated a crusade to rid the land of the foul beast known as Sir Lucan. He had violated his oath to the Temple of Marr, and it was time to end his villainy.

The following team of headhunters was assembled, gathered from all corners of Norrath, Luclin, and the Plane of Knowledge:

Kyroskrane, human Paladin of 40 seasons
Magratt, wood elf Druid of 46 seasons
Gilaran, half elf Bard of 42 seasons
Oriol, gnome Shadowknight of 38 seasons
Famins, erudite Wizard of 40 seasons

We also had the assistance of Animalor, a barbarian Beastlord of 65 seasons.

Our plan was simple. We would lure Lucan out of his safe and secure hidey-hole in the Militia headquarters, isolate him from his aides, then end his sorry life.

We gathered outside West Freeport, between Ping Fizzlecutter's tent and the wall at the edge of Freeport. Our brave Shadowknight chose to hide invisibly, rather than await us in the nearby East Commonlands, and the rest of us prepared as best we could. Enhancement magic of all sorts was cast upon us, increasing our strength, speed, and toughness, making us better able to withstand that attacks of the vile Lucan.

Then, after we had prepared ourselves and completed our prayers to our respective deities for aid and success, the battle began. I entered the city of Freeport alone, bearding the lion in his den. Into Lucan's very chamber I strode, and boldly unleashed my spells against him. Naturally, he and his friend, the so-called Brother Jentry, took offence at my presumption, as did every single guard in the city of Freeport between the Militia house and the gates! Imbued by the Spirit of Wolf, I easily outran all the guards, and led them a merry chase into the yard outside the city proper where my friends awaited.

I was quickly able to evade Lucan and his dastardly guards by running into the Commonlands, and they were unable to catch up to me. However, the guards apparently had magical enhancement cast upon them too, as they were able to see through brave Oriol's invisibility. Seeing as Shadowknights are not welcome in the public portions of Freeport, they promptly assaulted poor Oriol, and we were unable to save him.

My friends distracted Lucan by repeatedly hailing him, and as the other guards returned to their posts, Lucan found himself isolated. I returned from the Commonlands and challenged Lucan, accusing him of his crime. Unable to face up to the truth, he chose instead to sacrifice his life in a vain attempt to escape.

The battle was furious and frenetic, with many blows landed upon all sides. I bore the brunt of the attack, constantly healed by the lovely lady Druid, Magratt. Gilaran played his magical music, enhancing our ability to fight. Famins blasted Lucan with his powerful offensive magic in a well-executed attempt to reduce him to a cinder. As Lucan weakened, Animalor joined in to ensure a swift end to this traitor's life.

Finally, Lucan fell! But the battle was not over -- not by a long shot. As his mortal shell collapsed, Lucan revealed his true form. A ghostly skeleton arose to challenge us anew, and once more the battle was engaged. I pulled out my trusty Ghoulbane, the scourge of all undead, and commenced slashing at this apparition as I blasted it with my anti-undead spells. My comrades again mounted the assault, and the undead fiend died far more quickly than his mortal shell had.

Death to Lucan! Let his fall be a warning to all who would betray their oaths.

(OOC)

OK, so much for the story portion.

WARNING!! Despite everything I'd read previously, you do take faction hits BOTH for killing the live Lucan AND the undead Lucan. We goofed on this, and everyone in our group ended up KOS by mistake. To clarify, we got faction messages both when the live Lucan bit the dust AND when the undead Lucan died.

As you've probably guessed by now, we were a bit overpowered going in. Animalor's participation was a great aid, both for the buffs he cast upon us going in, and for his combat abilities and warder as we assaulted Lucan. He only joined in the combat when Lucan hit 40% or less each time, so as not to KS us. However, even without Animalor's combat aid, we had the battle easily wrapped up.

The pull was the part I had been dreading, but it went off without a hitch. First, we /ooc'ed to the zone that we were raiding Lucan and warned everyone not to join in unless they wanted to be KOS in Freeport. Then I ran into the guardhouse (I was still dubious to the Militia, not KOS) and hit Lucan with a stun. Naturally, Jentry and all the guards in the area aggroed as I ran out to the rest of the group, and the rest of the team perma-hailed Lucan to keep him from returning to the guardhouse. It was annoying, as Lucan acted like a normal guard and kept running around to kill the wandering beasties.

Oriol fell when the guards saw through his invis, and we ended up taking both Lucans down without him. However, we did rez him for the victory screenshots. =)

The battle itself was short and sharp. I was main tank; Magratt snared, dotted, then healed; Famins nuked at the right point; and Gilaran played an appropriate combat song and whacked Lucan from behind. When the undead Lucan spawned, we jumped him again.

I had Instrument of Nife up when taking down the undead Lucan, but neither it nor Ghoulbane proc'ed, so I don't know if they work against him. I was never able to get off an Expulse Undead, either, being too busy smacking him.

Finally, to clarify, Lucan does NOT drop the Brilliant Sword of Faith. Rather, the undead form drops his Testimony of Truth, which you turn in to Valeron Dushire in North Freeport. He will give you the Sword. Also, I did not see any Boots of Brawn on him, but his live form did drop a Damaged Militia Helm. The undead form also dropped a couple of bone chips with the Testimony.

My faction hits were as follows:

Live Lucan:
Your faction standing with The Freeport Militia got worse.
Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk Underground got worse.
Your faction standing with Knights of Truth got better.
Your faction standing with Priests of Marr got better.

Undead Lucan:
Your faction standing with The Freeport Militia could not possibly get any worse.
Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk Underground got worse.
Your faction standing with Knights of Truth got better.
Your faction standing with Priests of Marr got better.

I'm now pretty much permanently KOS to the Freeport Militia, and Ally (though surprisingly, not max allied) with the Knights of Truth.

Well, there you have it. Lucan (once again) met his well-deserved fate at the hands of a Paladin. It was so much fun that I think I may make a weekly mini-raid out of killing Lucan. =)

I found away to use the surounding terain to your advantage to kill lucan. i am a 51 magician and i soloed him NP, however, i didn't agro the skelly fastenough and he depoped about 20sec after he spawned. ok this is how i did it. got my pet out cleared all the guards in the surounding area around the militia house and the two spawns in the hall. ran in, agroed, ran out. jentry will try and nuke you, lucan runs after you so they split at that moment. lev yourself, run to the open field where theres a little pond and a merchant that sells tailoring suplies DO THIS FAST AS YOU CAN or jentry will catch up. if you go to the wall, and walk up the little mound of dirt you can lev over to the crumbled wall. run acroosed it to the adjacent wall, go right, run down take another right and stand on the wall facing the guard shack next to the nfp zone. nothing can get to you up here, everything you agro will stop dead in there tracks. look around for lucan and nuke away, he ussually gets stuck in the spot right before you get up on the wall. save some mana before you kill him though, if you don't agro the skelly he will depop kinda fast. then run down claim your loot, or in my case, my leve 15 pally just walked up and looted. thats how you solo lucan with a mage. i thought it was kinda funny myself.

Okay what I do is a ton of freeport militia quests, like the evil DF belts one, I'm a paladin, and was scared I would be KoS in my own guild. So I killed Deathfist orcs they raise your faction w/ freeport miltia, knights of truth, and others. I also complete lots of anti-militia quests or kill militia guards, and do such as to kill deathfist orcs, since they raise freeport faction and a few others. You can even hunt those level 5-6 pawns and it raises!

P.S. on Presxus, Fironia Vie, and Sullon Zek, I have characters under the name of Uladenr on each server that I just listed additionally, and a monk named wiwiwiwi on solusek ro server also.

We killed him awfully easily w/ a mid 50's shaman who slowed, a 52 monk who pulled him, me, 49 war and 49 ranger.

That's not too interesting, granted.

However, we pulled him to the PoK teleporter book in the newbie tunnel. Using the traditional hailing, the 3-4 other guards eventually wandered off, leaving him to us. Having the book right there made it easy for all but me to gate prior to him going down. I finished him off and soloed the skelly, which I didn't expect to hit as hard as he did.

Also, Jentry did not follow on the pull.

I'd recommend this approach as by the time Sir Lucan starts walking back to gates, he doesn't even get close before biting the dust.

When we took him down, we were all warned that if we didn't want to be KOS to the Freeport Milita, we needed to gate or zone before he died. Apparently killing him (or helping kill him)
makes you KoS to the Freeport Militia, but the Guards in North Freeport will look upon you warmly. Now, I don't know what good it does to be warmly in North freeport if you have to go through KoS West (and East) Freeport first, but in any case, I gated out when he was down to half a bubble of health just to be safe.

Me and some guildies took on Lucan last night. It's important that once you pull him to EC noob zone line to have someone who is non KOS hail him repeatedly to keep him in that spot and have the puller zone right away. Then keep hailing him, all the guards will wander off to their respective places and leave you there with Lucan. Then have all your KOS friends zone in and woop his arse. We made the mistake of nt hailing him and had to deal with the lvl50 gate guards. We killed Lucan and had to deal with those guards. At sometime in the confusion another group came along and pulled the undead Lucan and basically KSd us. Our fault, we should have focused on him.
