the ghoul lord  

Looks like it's a 29 min respawn timer on this guy

whats Repawn timer for this thing?

For those not familiar with Lower Guk, the ghoul lord is found at the dead end of a hall in the eastern lowest level. Most maps have him marked on it (if you have downloaded them).

His location is 1557, -749, -167

I was hunting him for the Crown of Deceit quest, in 5 kills he dropped the following:

3 skull-shaped barbutes
1 short shord of the Ykesha
1 Scalp of the ghoul lord (5th kill, the item I was after).

His spawn cycle appeared to be the regular zone-wide time (I want to say 18ish mins but cannot do so with authority).

how does he get to the froglok king without falling apart????
Hes undead(and ugly)!!!

I dragged a couple friends of mine down to Lower Guk to camp an SMR (there were NONE for sale in the bazaar, I couldn't believe it), we were there for a few hours and we basically just kicked the crap out of the entire basement hall, from about frenzy on up.

52 mage using 51 earth pet
51 cleric

We managed to pull this guy twice, the first time he stayed aggro on me through most of the fight (very annoying, but the cleric just cast remedy as needed), soon as I landed slow on him the 51 earth pet tore him a new one, didn't even need to heal the pet through the whole fight. He dropped the Barbute the first time and a Yak the second time. Fun stuff. :)

We were there for about 4 hours, the AM spawned just before we left, but he had the damn legs. :( We also managed to kill the hand three times (Serp Bracer x 3) and the Frenzied once (Ring, bah).

(Trading Yak for SMR? :D)

The Fabled Ghoul Lord doubles for 300-1k+ damage, flurries, enrages, and is partially slowable. Easily farmed by a 65 (Time-equipped) monk, 63 beastlord, 63 cleric, and 55 cleric. Possibly duoable, but 3-4+ people recommended.

We did this earlier today with relative ease. (62 Monk, 54 Cleric) First off IVU is awesome on the undead side. Once you are invis vs. undead you can just run spot to spot / camp to camp without ever having to fight. We consistently ran from the Executioner's room to the Bloodthirsty/frenzied room.. and finally to the Lord room as well as the re-animated hand. (also Arch Magi near lord room) Everything is on about a 20 minute timer.
The Ghoul Lord has a surprising amount of hp's. The monk immediately killed the pet and proceeded to wail away on the Lord after that. I Chealed maybe twice with a couple of Divine Light's in between. It was an easy and controllable fight if you pacify the 2 mobs on the left and the right of the Lord. He dropped the Barbute (weak). When fight was over we invised again an ran to the next spot. It's not

As a 65 monk (moderate mostly dropable gear) around 3,100 hp, I cleared the hall up to him, cleared his guards, took his HT, waited for disc and mend to be back up and HP regen to full, (wearing a fungi) and then charge him, kill the pet, start raping him with inner flame and blow mend when I get 50% health. I have successfully killed him 10 times, I had helm drop almost every time, and a yak one of the times, I don't know if my luck is just plain horrible but I can't get him to drop the G-danm scalp, but It gives me a reason to keep factioning, as I hate factioning ) -still KOS after 10ish hours of faction and going through two rollbacks in ONE hour.. those really blew, I hope the patch today fixes this S*IT. I suspect I have a long time to go till im Indifferent to live side.

I'm a pretty well equipped 55 Pally, 1250ish AC 2800ish hp self buffed w/ 22% haste item + 25% pally spell haste, and this guy is work. Oh, and use a Widebladed Greatsword, 35/35 2hs.

Probably about a 8-10 min fight for me yesterday, w/ KEI, fearing him alot so that I could heal/med up during the fight. Post 54 I can fear with no risk of adds here. It might be doable earlier too.

I had cleared Lord Hall up to Lord, but was worried about backpops on the way to the pit so I fought him just outside his lair. Actually should have just taken him inside the Lord Room since I had just cleared other 2 mobs first w/ pacify pulls.

His HT landed for 611, he hits very fast and for alot for an old world mob. I needed to LoH, and after one add (the wanderer), I killed Lord with 5-10% mana and 5-10% health. Way too close for comfort, but certainly a good challenge!

Other than fighting him inside his room, which should eliminate the add (I think), I'll bring along a shammy DS potion or three next time. That would make a big difference. Too bad his loot is way worse than the ArchMagus, who now is pretty easily dispatched with KEI and chain stuns.

with a 65 monk he is pretty easy. I was doing faction here for woody illusion crown earlier today and I never got hit by his HT out of 15 or so kills. I have runspeed 3, of course, which is probably why. Dropped Ykesha twice, I never looted him so I don't know if he dropped anything else. There was a level 38 there who looted all the corpses I left in the safe hall, needless to say, a now very rich level 38 after the 7 hours I was there, still threateningly in faction btw.

Why waste a pet? or even cause injury to a warrior? Necros have a lvl20 spell Harmshield.
Cast just as Lord spawns have Necro run in and absorb harm touch. Kill as usual )

does the ghoulbane drop of the lord?

After fighting in a number of groups, I have found that there a few rules to taking this guy down. 1) Have at least two tanks. One can be a ranger, but I suggest have a high HP, high AC one as well. Ranger can peel mobs off casters while other takes the beating. 2) Make sure you know when the spawns around you are due up. My group has gotten wiped out because we tried to take Lord and had two adds pop behind our casters. By the time I had peeled them off our healers, we were in trouble. 3) You have two choices in dealing with the HT. a) send in a crappy pet to take it like a b_tch, or have your main tank sit right in front of the throne. I watched a group not doing this have thier Necro HTed from full health into unconciousness. He got a heal and popped back up, but damn was it funny. Also, a note to people veturing to Lguk for the first time: make sure you know your damn role. Lguk is NOT for people who just run around smacking whatever they think they want to kill in this game. The maze layout scares away most of these, but I have been grouped with a few, and they have been nothing but aggravation. Know what your responsibilities in the group are and do them. Screwing around here will at least be annoying, more often, deadly. When trying to take Lord, make sure your group's average lvl is at least 42. I tried to take the room with 5 lvl 40s and a lvl 52. We could have done it, but we were taking three spawns and had two adds(afore mentioned situation with knowing spawn times) so we failed.

Was camping Lguk in a mini-raid for the guild. We had set-up shop in Cav room. Group: 39 shammy, 47 war, 35 monk, 48 wiz, 41 cleric, and I, 44 pally. I casted inv. ud and went to pull and, BAM, there is lord hopping around with pet with just under 1/2 health. Guess a camp gone bad, dunno.

So I bashed with shield, ran to camp, and shouted on /gu LORD!

Oh yea, Yak hurts. After a nice battle, he was ours. Guild gets a yak, the east way.

BTW, guild was there for 5 hours and no group came back to claim Yak or lord. We would have given Yak back if they did so. :)

It's about 23 min....

We set-up camp in the Lord Room last night for about 5 hours and let me tell that it's not all that hard. We were a 46 warrior, 45 monk, 47 monk, 48 cleric, 45 druid, 47 necro. When the lord spawned we had a hard time containing his aggro on all three of his spawns. He likes to zip around the room from caster to caster and tickle them where they don't like being tickled. The melee classes found him to be a real menace to kill. We never feared our lives, but this guy took a while for us to drop. His harm touch was about 500 points and the tank had no problem taking it (she had about 2200 hit points). Just expect a real wild battle when this guy shows up... he knows how to have some real fun.

For those that don't know, he spawns on the throne. Don't play on the throne because you will get stuck behind it and it really sucks. His place holder is a wizard. There are also two other froggie spawns in the room designed to be his guards. The whole room is set to a 30 minute timer. The ssoy is the rare drop, but you'll see it in his hand if he has it.

For the person who commented on the dagger icon that is shown when clicking on the SSOY link, that is what the ykesha once looked like. For some reason a long time ago, Verant changed the ykesha's looks. The only weapon that still exists with that look is the Blood Fire from CT. Actually, everyone I have talked to likes the look of that sword better than the one we are all familiar with. So no, its not a mistake and its not a dagger.
