Far from being undead, Khati Sha the Twisted is actually humanoid and very headshottable!

This quest is definitely fixed, I have been running it for last 3 weeks and have gotten Khati twice. Second try i picked wrong tiger and got arcanist. Seems that Khati is on a 7 day timer because i have run through this like every other day since my twinks can use the arcanist and warders loots too. Maybe this is a fluke but my 2 successes were upon saving the cat that is NOT on the red circle.

The cat you choose to save actually has no impact on the continuing of the script, only loot. If you save the correct cat and don't get the Arcanist, then the door opens and you proceed to Khati, assuming enough time has passed since he was last killed. If you get the Arcanist, you get the added benefit of loot from the Arcanist, THEN the door unlocks. Either way, it only unlocks when Khati is up, and it is a totally random 50/50 chance of choosing between the cats every time.

The way I have been doing this event is first I kill the Warder of Death in the cauldron room, then I kill the Warder of Life down by the jail cells and then this is where I seem to get stuck...no additional spawns happen in the basement room and all of the locked doors are open. I can then open all doors and go all the way to Khata's room but of course he is never there.

Am I doing something wrong or since the doors in front of the lava bridge also becomes unlocked does that mean that someone else has recently killed Khata?

The only thing I can think of is that I have to kill the Warders in a different order...Life first then Death...but does that really matter?

I have killed both Warders about 4 times now and have gotten the same result of getting stuck. Is this quest broken?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm a 85 necro 3300ish AAs, I had been trying this event with my 85 BST friend nearly every day for about 3 weeks as of late summer 2009, and have been experiencing the same problems you have described.

Either no one shows up downstairs (neither the two spiritual arcanists nor Khati, but all the trash is there) under the trap floor, or the trap floor will not open. We have tried killing the Life/Death wards in different orders at least 10 different times each way and neither order seemed to have any effect, it still bugs out or something.

I have sent /bugs and /feedbacks, I finally decided to try a petition. The GM more or less said, "This issue has been forwarded to suchnsuch department and keep an eye out for game updates on this issue." Gee thanks....

I will keep trying and post again if I find anything out.

While engaged with Warder of Life, he says he is the First Ward. Likewise, the Warder of Death proclaims that he is the Second Ward. I have assumed that 1st-2nd is simply the order in which they should die.

Quote:
You have slain the Warder of Life!
The Life Ward has been defeated. The first seal is broken.
You have slain the Warder of Death!
The Death Ward has been defeated. The second seal is broken.


All attempts thus far have ended in FAIL one of two ways:

1) I kill Life, I kill Death, and the trap floor will not open. I see no new spawns on track to indicate anything at all has happened downstairs. Game over.

2) I kill Life, I kill Death, I walk downstairs... and nothing else happens. Zero Vah Shir downstairs. The third door opens up no problem, accompanied by an emote indicating it slides open easily now that the Third Ward has been destroyed?? I sure didn't destroy it, hell I didn't even see it. I kill the elites along the lava bridge and in the pool room out of spite.

As it does not appear I am doing anything wrong, I keep chalking the fails up to a seriously bugged script. Sigh. Try, try, again.

Same thing here. Completed the script with the two caged Vah Shir's then head to the locked door which opens. Descend down the steps, kill the mobs in the way and get to Khati Sha the Twisted's room. The four minions are up, though not targetable. Khati never pops. Have hung around for hours.

After trying several times to run this event (first time not enough people, second time got Fabled Ward of Death unexpectedly and ran out of time), we finally got a normal event with enough people. We ran right through the Ward of Death, waited for the Ward of Life to be targetable then smushed that. Then, however, the floor never opened or became clickable - any suggestions? Did we take too long to get to the floor? Is it bugged? It seemed like we did everything right.

the script is just insanely buggy, do everything right, and there's still a high % you're going to fail just due to a bug. Reason nobody really farmed em before, next year try again, and again, maybe once you'll get to see him !

OK, so having killed Khati Sha numerous times since my last report on him, I'm finding a strange set of circumstances. Basically, after killing the Warder of Life/Warder of Death and spawning the twin Spiritual Arcanists portion, I'm getting one of four resolutions to that part of the event:

A) You choose the wrong cat to free, and the event is over. No loot mob, and no Khati Sha.
B) You choose the wrong cat to free, and you get a spiritual arcanist as a booby prize mob, with loot (the loot's not so bad though!).
C) You choose the correct cat, both arcanists and their guards despawn, and Khati Sha spawns.
D) You choose what seems to be the wrong cat, 'a spiritual arcanist' spawns and attacks, but when you kill him, Khati Sha then spawns!

An interesting set of circumstances, to be sure. I will investigate this further, and hopefully others will chime in with their research. If there's a pattern or discernable way to get both the arcanist and Khati to spawn each time, alts everywhere demand we find it!! =)

I've killed him for the first time 2 days ago. We chose the wrong cat i think, the cat fell over, we killed the grimling (had loots) and khati still spawned.

Also the loot not listed is a Twisted Chain Faceguard, it's not in lucy yet though, it's Ac 25, Str 10, Dex 10, Sta 12, Wis 10, Hps 100, Mana 75, End 75, SF 7, SD 5, SM 7, SP 5
War, Clr, Pal, Rng, Shd, Brd, Rog, Shm, Ber, Effect of Truesight (went to my baby brd)

Tried this event twice now and had two different results.

First time we went down and there were the eight grimlings guarding nothing (The two cats didn't spawn). We killed one set and another set of four spawned on the back wall (KoS I believe). We killed the other four as well as the four that spawned and Khati Sha spawned.

Second time we went down and the cats were up and being guarded. We chose the left set (Closest to where you come in) and they were the wrong ones. The Arcanist spawned but we couldn't attack it. It walked over to the door and vanished along with all the other stuff there. Khati Sha didn't spawn.

I am unsure if there is a way to tell which one is the correct one to "save" but will keep trying.

It's my belief that 1 more item from Khati is missing, as his loot table at this point appears to be 11 random drops and 1 drop that he always has (the Mnemonic). I believe there is still yet 1 more item to be found!

Always, Always, this has been the bane of Khati Shah.
Some player, hoarding the books as they fall in their adventures and groups, looking up info, Finally! getting some sympathetic friends to come along, who are on, who have time, who are good. To get shut down on the 50-50. That player, face now dropping, realizing that to get this assemblage together again might take another year ( I kid you not ) and stares at the books so carefully stored in the bank every time a new expansion comes out and just....just does not want to get rid of these, to make room, and also, looking at the AA's, just does not want to spend the AA's on innate run, since there are others that are better used, in the now.


We took down Khati Shah on Firiona Vie yesterday, 2 monks, 2 pallys, cleric, BST ( VAH Bst ) and a mage ( me ). mage monk and pally upstairs on death, everyone else downstairs, mage to OT the sacrifices up top.

We are all 70+ but bear in mind at 70, the big grimlings in that section of the castle are LB, and still a challenge, so good for exp if you are thinking of it. When we went, they were all grey, some green.


Warder of life and death. Death can be killed first, and quickly, once the event is started. Have a mage ot pet class OT the sacrifice, no DS on pet, taunt on, as it appears, and DPS like mad the warder of death. Pet will prevent sacrifice from getting to cauldron and you will have enough time.

Warder of life. Ater deathis dead, run down and join first group, constantly opening doors, to see what is wspawning where, get the jammers first!
there will be successive waves of skeletons, all the skeletons will need to be slain. Target the skellys only after you are sure all spell jammers are dead, move back to jammers if more spawn, then back on skellies. Once all the skellies are dead, Life becomes targetable, and can be fought singly.

Open that floor!

50-50, yes you want to hail them and get a response, but they are both named the same, so dialogue does not give clues as to the ancient logic riddle. ( ancient riddle being- 2 guards,one tells truth other lies, how do you decide which? answer, ask each if the other lies, then ask if the other tells the truth- liar will be exposed in his yes or no response to each question )

2 guards, 4 grimlings. Kill them in this way, slay south guard on each vah, then east, then west. pause. med a little. start on north grimiling on each guard, get them BOTh to 50, pause, take them both to 20, pause, Carefully, then take them both down to 10, 5, 2, 1 pause if you can, then slay them BOTH at the SAME TIME. No DoT's.

note: yes we did see that red circle. Frst time we slew red circle first ( vah is hunched under that marking ) and failed.However on this attempt? one under the red circle was slain a fraction of a second AFTER the one closest to the doors ( not the stairwell ) we did not get two "you gain experience!" messages as they both went down, we got one, one only.

Grimling will spawn, and break the seal.

Bear in mind some grimling guards can aggro through the locked door, so be aware of that durring the 50-50.

Monk fell in lava pit past seal :( oh- twirl the gems in theprevious room, it's ok, once the seal is brken you can open and close it at will. the bridge will rise once the gems are twirled. click the bridge? and the bridge will fall, click it again once in? and the bridge will rise. one evil member had fun dunking the monk, after we figured this out and breathed when we got him back. Well, the dunker was an iskar.....

fight khati shah the twisted, get nice boots! maybe a spell, and the book!- and bank space! and scrupiously spent AA's! and freedom! and no more lagging behind your group mates/friends as you run through those georgous and HUGE zones in TSS.
If you pick the right one.....

I think you are mistaken. The answers for both of your posed questions would be the same for each. Both would say that the other is the liar, and both would say that the other doesn't tell the truth.

The best question to ask would be some form of "Would the other say that you are the liar?"
The Liar would say no and the Truth teller would say yes. You would only need to ask one question to one mob.

We tried to do it last night. 2 Necro's, 2 Berzerkers, Ranger, Cleric. We handled most of it pretty well, but for some reason the Ward of Death never spawned. We did the Ward of Life pretty easy. And we cleared a LOT of mobs. Probably a couple hundred. Bring a lot DPS. And a good tank. You have to kill the mobs pretty fast and the adds you get if you don't kill the jammers fast enough have a ton of HP's. So that just slows you down.

Did this soo called "event" on SolRo this week with a low-count number of players it would take to do FR, 1/4 prolly EP-KT geared, rest are bought or Velious/Luclin geared i would think. Anyways, this is a fun fight but is a pain to get to him. Loot isn't bad at all and with the numbers we had (which was an overkil supreme far as i can tell) u could get poorly equipped people with common drop WoS etc. and ldon bought gear to kill him still EASILY. Not saying this guy is easy but he surely isn't hard as hell either. In any case, if u haven't done this i suggest u expierience it cause its somthing worth your time ( and that goes for any player no matter what zones ur guild raids ) , i dont doubt that with top GoD gear and tier 2 armor u could down KSTT ( ya thats right im not gonna type that dam name out ! ) with 16-28 peeps. But dont take this from me since i havent proven it yet.

OK everyone, here goes. All the rumors and innuendo, the crap about the 6 DTing adds spawning and whatnot, it's all bogus. Here is the final word on Khati Sha --

Once the Warder of Life and Warder of Death are taken down in succession, click on the trapdoor in front of the grimling warlord spawn point. It leads to a room, with 2 'a spiritual arcanist'. The arcanists are vah shir, and they're surrounded by 4 grimlings each, one at each point of the compass. If you kill the grimlings surrounding a vah shir, something happens -- either your event is ended (you chose the wrong vah shir to free), or a script triggers and you are allowed to open a door going deeper, to Khati Sha (there will be a zonewide emote from Khati Sha upon spawn). There is a bridge over lava, it's easy to discover how to raise that. Across the bridge are approx 5 Elite Grimling Deathguards, noslow/nomez 400 hitters, can be split easily.

Khati Sha stands upon his throne, surrounded by 4 untargettable defiled minions. Once Khati Sha is engaged and suffers more than 1% of damage, they go tangible and attack. In this case, we OT'd them, I was an OT. Max damage about 500, mine would not be stunned, but other OT's said they could stun theirs. Your milage may vary. Khati Sha himself hits in the 1300's, quads, ramps (a lot). There are 4 AE's going off during the fight -- Tortured Memory I, Tortured Memory II, Cursed Visions I, Cursed Visions II. (all exist on Lucy). One of the OT's reported that his Defiled Minion procced Blood Claw on him. I personally didn't notice. We OT'd all Minions until Khati Sha was down, then mopped them up, nice and neat.

Wanna give a huge thanks to Duke Atlis Bigarms, Shadowknight of the Quellious server, who put in the time and research on this, motivating people to Acrylia to learn about the event from the Warders up, and congratulate him on his new Fused Mnemonic of Khati Sha. Also big grats and thanks to the United Raiders of Norrath, who performed like champs against Khati Sha, even though we got nothing but negative reaction from everyone we asked for intel/info from. I just wanna say he's not a doomsday mob, he's not unbeatable, and the event isn't impossible. I hope more people will take heart and do this event now that we've shown the way.

Thanks for the guide. Sounds like a fun encounter! Choosing the right vah shir sounds kind of tricky. I hope you can restart it once the Warder of Life and Warder of Death respawn, which is how long?
RE: The Complete and Definitive guide to Khati Sha -- Myths
# Sep 06 2004 at 7:11 AM Rating: Excellent
Note for shamans:

Khati Sha is immune to slow but definitely cripple him. I had no trouble landing DoTs on him once debuffed. Some minions are slowable, others are not. I was too busy healing Stonehewer to see if there was a way to tell them apart. Minions do proc blood claw but with Tribunal, it's easily resisted. Other AEs are fire and magic with pushback (which can send you into lava or icy pool although that's rare)

Taken from a post under "A Grimmling Ritualist"

You say 'what dark depths'

Agent Tiesh says 'There is a legend of a Vah Shir named Khati Sha. He was one of my people's first great heroes. An explorer and leader, he mysteriously disappeared long ago. I have the unsettling feeling that this war will uncover the [secret] of his disappearance.'

You say: 'What secret'

Agent Tiesh says 'I believe that Khati Sha is somehow wrapped up in the past and present of the Grimlings. There are tales of a 'Legend of Lies' amongst the common Grimlings. . .a secret history kept by their elite. If you are willing to help, go into the deep caverns and search out this text. If we can find it, we may be able to unravel the truth of the Grimling past.'

When you turn in the book you receive the book back and this discussion:

Agent Tiesh says 'This is disturbing. Is there no corner of place or time that the Shissar have not tainted? I must know more. The Vah Shir people must know the truth of their [hero].'

You say 'What about their hero'

Agent Tiesh says 'I must try and collate this legend with the rest of the information. I must ask you an enormous favor. Will you go and search for more information? I can give you no better direction but to hunt the snake men. The text tells of 'ledgers and testaments' . . .perhaps the Shissar have some record of the event. Take this [summary scroll].'
RE: Question.
# Jun 17 2004 at 7:34 PM Rating: Decent
Lore that Im aware of. Khati Sha was one of the greatest adventurers of the Vah Shir people. He was captured by the Shissar and converted(twisted) into his present form. He escaped the shissar and the Grimlings came to worship him as a God.

Sorry, thats the best my old memory has to offer hehe.
The Ward Cycle
# Apr 21 2004 at 7:40 AM Rating: Good
17 posts
I've been looking for any guild on any server that has done the AC events since zone revamp.

Other than the RoF (Ring of Fire) event which I know can't be started. What progressive events remain working?

I already know and solo the named pops of Blood Mage, Blood Priest, Primalist, Ritualist, Arcanist, Arch Sage, High Priest, and Warlord.

I've done the Evolved Burrower more times than i can count (MINI RAID) done with as few as one full group and much easier with 2-3 groups.

To date I've yet to find anyone that KNOWS for sure if "The Twisted" has been defeated on any server since zone revamp. I'd be most keen to talk with anyone that can provide advice.

MHB has started the Ward Event a couple of times and we are learning as we go. With the PHAT LEWT of other places like EP, VT, VP, ST, SSRA keenly fixed in peoples eyes this LOL... Old zone gets overlooked often and without wasting 50-60 folks time to take on this MOB I'd like to get as much research and planning done before hand.

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=2559

This event is the access for the trapdoor below the Warlords room. Killing Ward of Death first makes Ward of Life targetable (Providing you have kept the Val Shir in the cells alive by cleaning out the event spawn mobs in the cells). After killing the Ward of Life specific information is scarce.

Before zone revamp there were ways to spawn other mobs kinda higher powered versions of the named pops I solo now. The Grimling Arch Mage for one that dropped...

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=20253

In any event back to the BOSS mob. Access below the warlords room leads to an outer room where 2 mobs supposedly pop and you pick one to kill, if ya pick the right one you can a couple of Elite Grimlings and this guy to fight (The Elite Grimlings con Yellow to level 65).

Getting past them opens a door to a Lava River crossing. A couple of mobs either side after you go through door. Cross the lava flow, go down a short winding tunnel and you'll enter an outer throne room. More of those yellow conning Elite Gaurds in the corners. Next room has 4 of the spirit wards looking mobs and a pool of water in it (I have not been able to get close enough to see what they are on track and only be peeking through walls in bear form have I been able to snap some screen shots). This is the last room and I'm assuming these are the mobs referred to as the "Fake Khati The Twisted". Killing thme may pop the big guy and the ensuing spawning of the defiled minions.

That is where we are right now. Any other information would be appreciated specifically anything POST zone revamp.

Did someone say his loot wasn't that great?!?!

Holy crap!! No offense but I happen to think this guys loot is VERY nice indeed. I pity those who think this mobs loot is chintzy - you are WAY spoiled and need a reality check as most of the peeps who play EQ are NOT in ubah raiding PoTime guilds that can pick and choose their armor.

I'd love to tag along on a raid to off this guy, not just because my BST would love that bracer, but because as a Vah Shir, I'd love to put his poor tortured soul to rest. =)

Good luck to all who set out to ease this mobs pain.
#Dalarek, Posted: Apr 06 2004 at 5:36 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) If you aren't in one of those "ubah raiding PoTime guilds" you won't off this guy. They won't let you tag along in a no-coh zone either.

Soo.... one must be in an ubah Time guild to take him out? Rather high handed of you eh?

Being in an RP guild, while I admit it is difficult for us to accomplish some things.. it's not impossible. Give it up.

I know RP alliances that are nearing Elemental. Soon enough, we'll be Time. Cut your crap. You ubers are nothing special. Learn it, know it.

He/she never stated you had to be in a Time guild to do this mob just that some people based on time gear or better and what not proclaim that this mobs loot table is crap...

From what I can tell this person simply is saying they could and would make good use of this loot... I don't see where the RP guild bit tied in... unless your posting to a post before the one you replied to... if thats the case my bad its not showing for whatever reason... (bad post karma maybe?)

Anyway yah most of this gear is still good gear to some people... Point in case I think flags and level play a big factor in how good loot really is to you...

Well Dalarek I'm glad you've decided your the spokesperson for all PoTime raiding guilds.When we go to AC we do let friends tag along also we do flagings from non-guildies and have flaged pre-60's to EPs.So before you speak for all guilds join all of them and see.

Strat info

Does anyone have any concrete info? If so, please post it to help others determine the difficulty of the encounter.

If not, then I will be posting info for everyone soon, as my guild plans to take him on soon.

I doubt he's as difficult as others have claimed. He's most likely another Inny, as in no one knows the strat cause the guilds that do know it don't share it and hence make the encounter seem alot more difficult than it really is. Thereby buying those guilds time to farm him.

Don't ever listen to those that say, " You can't do this encounter because you're not in X guild ". Most Elemental flagged guilds have accomplished what they have through zerging and hence their player base does not know or is unaware of what a small group of talented dedicated players are capable of doing. I've had the pleasure of proving said people wrong on several occasions and if I prove them wrong again or not, I will gladly post the info I find here for all.

Sorry to burst your bubble here Ralaan...

I suspect he is as difficult as others have claimed. At the last count, around 5 guilds serverwide had killed Khati Sha.

The reasons for this are twofold:

1. His loot isn't good enough for the difficulty of the encounter. Even the stuff you see listed here is roughly low-VT, mid-range Ssra quality. Furthermore, he is only one mob, thus for a 3-4 hour ring event, you only get a few drops. 3-4 hours in VT gets you pretty much the whole place with CoH bots.

2. He's bloody hard for Luclin. Most of the guilds that have killed him are EP / Time. The EP ones said that he was no joke, and I've seen scraps of confirmed information that show why. From what I've heard, he sounds like the hardest Luclin encounter skill-wise.

As a result, the only guilds that have killed him have done so as a challenge to themselves. His less than amazing loot means they don't need to farm him (there's no point), so your idea about why they are holding back strats doesn't make much sense. More likely is that they aren't telling people for the same reason AL aren't shouting their GoD strats to the world - it's competition, not just for loot, but prestige. This isn't a common encounter, so do your own research or make your own strats.

Having said which, I agree with what you say about EP zerg guilds and the potential of smaller and tighter raid forces, but I have a hunch that you are selling this one a bit short. Be wary, look into it a bit more, or you might be in for a long CR =)

A quote from the only guild to have killed him yet.

"After the fake khati died several waves of 6(!) DTing mobs each spawned, talk about rough!"

Defiled Minions spawns during the fight. Don't know much about them.

The guild had 65 when they took him down, they said they could probably do with less, but not by much (they are in Plane of Time btw, to give you an idea how hard it is).

First, if you want to know for sure, do it your self. Second, he gave you very valiable information. Three, he wasn't saying there weren't many guilds in PoTime, he's informing you of the type of gear/tactics/numbers that are needed to take him down. Bend over.

Hearsay. Instead of being lazy and just asking me to tell you everything how about you go and find the details you want (just like I had to do). I just stated that yes their were adds during the fight, if you really want to know go spawn him.

He was once the great Hero of Shar Vahl. He went out to discover this new world known as Luclin. During his adventures he ran across the grimlings as well as the snake people known as the Shissar. The Shissar captured him and did an experiment on him to try to make him into a God to govern over the growning threat of the Grimlings. The experiment went horribly wrong and he was morphed into the creature pictured without any of his prior memories. Having found the Grimlings he used his new powers (which were given to him during the experiment) to give the Grimlings thought. For that they worship him as their God.

a more indepth story would be this,

Khati sha the former would be best vah shir explorer, was seen as a hero and as a great explorer.

He traveled all over luclin until he had stumbled upon the shissar. They proceeded to capture him and began to torture him. They were "testing" the vah shir's tolerance level, until one of the many commanders of the shissar said that they should proceed to turn him into a demi god. With this happening he started to show more an more signs that this expirment was turning for the worse. When one of the commanders said that they should cease, they ignored his warning an continued to try the transformation while they were proforming it he had broken from his entrapment an slaughtered many of the shissar.

As he escaped he began to wander the forests of the grimling until he stumbled upon the caves, there he had donated his power away to the grimlings as like said once before this they had seen him as a god.

With this being said the vah shir had no idea where their beloved adventurer had vanished to, since there was no sign of where he could of been all they had known was that he was gone an hadn't returned back to the mighty city. So in his honor they made the beastlord order or the khati sha which was named after him (DUH!) anyways for those before who always used to wonder what those lore books were about from AC an SSra well now you kno its for prolly one of the best items i have seen in this game, he also drops the hardest book to get, 1 in ac 2 in ssra an one from him in his DEEEEEEEEEP lair.

As to getting into where he is , let me begin to say it has to be the most pain in the a$$ things i have ever heard of.

An since myself am abit confused to how supposedly you are supposed to clear this quest (invlolves saving the captured vah shir down in the inner part of ac which gives a key to unlock that floor panel in the throne room) i believe ALL mobs below this panel are all 62+ with most being around 63-65. An they drop beyond Ntov armor, i seen some greaves that were like ac49 an TONS of stats for plate classes "grimling warlord greaves" or some sh!t.

with that i hope its as accurate as i think it is, i have been absent from eq cuz of RL stuff....

#Fyrewalker, Posted: Jul 30 2003 at 9:55 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I'm thinking that getting to KT the T is much harder than actually beating him. Unless he quads 1k+ and AE's deathtouch he shouldn't be that much trouble for a guild (and yes, probably 75ppl in a full raid for AC) can clear AC to him...

MHB on Tribunal is very close to getting TO the Twisted.

Killing the Ward of Death and Life opens the trap door beneath the Warlords room. The next door is held closed by the "Ward of the Final Seal" called the Ward of Spirits I assume.

The grimling prisoner quest and the ring of fire both are broken. The Ward quest is not broken, although on some servers I've seen reports of bugs.

I do have a few screen shots of the mobs leading up to the final encounter. If anyone has any ideas or information on successfully completing this event I'd be happy to exchange info.
