Disease-Ridden Gorilla  

Monster
Screenshot

Uploaded July 24th, 2007

This mob will spawn at neg1515, neg75 and then wander to the NW corner of the zone, on the ledge. Spawn time is 5 minutes and 50 seconds exactly. Best strategy is to initially get a ranger to kill PHs (tottering apes and possibly tottering gorillas) up on ledge while you wait at the spawn point. The PH has less than 4K hp.

  • This mob spawns at -1515, -75.
  • Single-Target Rampages: Yes

I got mine on 62nd spawn over several days. Then another one on 64th spawn while I was reading Alla on next steps. At least I did run into Severilous when I was looking for the PH one time. She gave me a bag so i guess it was worth it.. Bit ironic that I spent countless hours trying to get Sev years ago.

There is only one single mob named "a tottering ape" in the zone, and that's your PH. No need to kill other apes, tottering/raging gorillas or tatterback apes.
The "a tottering ape" will spawn at the location mentioned every 6 mins, and if not killed it will walk to the NE corner of the zone, up on the higher level.
Position yourself at loc -1525, -90 and send your ranger or druid friend to NE corner to kill the tottering ape (undead model), and you have started the cycle.
The apes that spawn are esay kills for a level 50 berserker, and you don't have to be particularly attentive as it will aggro you when it pops right next to you. The Disease-Ridden Gorilla is a tad harder, but should be no problem with a healing hand to help (merc or druid)

Got him just now. Went very smoothly. I parked my berzerker at the spawn point and sent my druid up the stairs and killed one tootering ape, In a few minutes, while druid was on top a 2nd Tottering Ape spawned at the zerker and she killed it easliy (level 59 zerker) There were no others on track so ran the druid back down to the spawn point and started buffing, Before I finished casting buffs the Disease-ridden spawned, and died.....we looted and gated out! The main annoyance was that all the apes are undead and see invis, and there are many roaming skellies, so have to kill a few that attack.

Confirmed today that there are more than 1 "A Tottering Ape". After killing 2 of them ran the the gorilla PH and they started spawning 5 mins and 50 seconds. This camp took me around 6 hours to finally get the Disease Ridden Gorilla to finally spawn, so prepare for a long camp.

After reading these posts it made it really confusing as to if there were or were not more than 1. Again I realize there are multiple other mobs with names alike, tatterback ape's, as well as tottering gorilla's. It was for sure, 2 A Tottering Apes i killed...

Spawn Location is also confirmed at: -1525, -86
P 86.0000, 1525.0000, -328.0000, 0, 0, 0, 3, BER_1.0_PH

Again this post was just to clarify the PH information.
Good Luck with epic all you zerkers!

I used my SK to track and kill the Apes. Cast Sense the Dead, and ran to them. I counted 4 Apes up top, while my Zerker was at the spawn point, so yes, there can be more than one up at a time.

Respawn on tottering apes isn't long. Like 6 minutes to 10 minutes. There is only 1 in the entire zone. I have been killing the one for quite some time just because I was wondering what the heck it was for. And it triggered this guy. No more tottering apes are up.

I can confirm the spawn location is just about -1525, -86, and if you sit down you will agro the spawn. BUT!!! The spawn wanders really far... to the northwest part of the map. I found 2 a tottering ape's up there with my druid. I killed them both, and sure enough 5 minutes later or so one spawned at -1525, -86 where my Berserker was sitting, and agro'd him. I have yet to see the DRG spawn, though. So... Id say run to the north-west part of the map, and find those two tottering gorilla's, and kill them. THEN run to the spawn point I have above to meet the respawn and kill it. Then just sit there, and wait... good luck!

repop time for him (or his ph rather) is 5 min 50sec.

here is a map label for his loc. it wanders north then NW once it pops.. near the NW sector of map / upper ledge area, so you will have to kill the apes there first, to find the correct PH. I had one person tracking/killing apes while i was watching the spawn point for PH.

P 86.0000, 1525.0000, -328.0000, 0, 0, 0, 3, BER_1.0_PH

*if you need a stopwatch, here is a cool program i found. you can set the options so that you can start and stop the timer with a key-press on a button you rarely use such as scroll lock. you can also set the timer to "always on top" and that way it will still be visible when you have EQ up.

This is wrong. Do not believe this post. Sorry I'm not trying to flame ya. Just trying to save people time. I tried to get the DRG to spawn 4 different times. I thought there was more than one spot to camp because of this post. THAT IS WRONG. Heres the basic strategy. Take someone who can track into the zone with you. Find the tottering ape, he will wonder along way just like all the other posts say. After you kill the first one you no longer need someone to track. Kill it and the get to the spawn spot. (-1500, -90 ish) Have a seat and wait. There aren't a whole lot of mobs that come around here so you will be safe just sitting and waiting. I just completed this last night. Camped it for 3 hours and I had 2 mobs other than the tottering apes that aggroed on to me the entire time. BTW make sure you are sitting almost right on top of spawn spot to ensure that he doesn't go wondering off on you. Thats also the reason I say to sit. If you are sitting you have a better chance of drawing aggro before he roams off. The spawn timer on tottering apes is correct, 6 mins and for the DRG it took me 3 hours ish. Make sure before you do this you can play for 5 hours straight otherwise you are just gonna waste you time. The only way to do this one is be committed! Good luck! Hope you dont have 3 hours to go!

there are 3 or 4 tottering apes in the nw corner of zone on ledge. kill them all because one of them is the PH. then go to the coordinates everyone keeps posting and wait for the ape to spawn. keep killing the ph until it spawns. this is just sw of CoM.

edit* after trying different things i've found that other apes can spawn as tottering apes, but only one is the PH. so sometimes there may be only one tottering ape up and other times there may be 3+ of them. bring a tracker to make sure you get them all.

Just to clear it up for any a little confused. There are tottering gorillas, tatterback apes and a tottering ape in emerald jungle. Tatterback apes are not the PH for DRG, the tottering ape is.

Just posting because I used a druid to track and originally thought tatterback ones were PHs because tottering ape wasn't on track (he was fairly north of zone, too far for druid to track if you are at south side of zone, and far from its spawn point).

The /loc -1590, -90 previously listed is spot on for the spawn point of tottering ape, but he does wander a long way away.

on hour 6, still no luck. I feel like everyone's playing a trick on me :P I've killed the totterings apes, and am now at the specified place killing more tottering apes as they spawn. no luck omg. and another PH pops as I type this : \

Make sue that you are killing the Tottering Apes and not the Tottering Gorillas. Tottering apes are the PH. Killing the Tottering Gorillas is a waste of time. The Spawn LOC is the (-1590 by -90). I verified it today May 20, 2006.

Just camped it with a zerker bud, took 12 min tops. Tracked down the tottering only to find a necro killing it. Zerker was not happy, and necro wouldnt answer us. We ran to the spawn point, waited a few min, and the diseased popped. Killed it and I had one happy Zerker on my hands. I realize how lucky we were. =)

The location of this mob is pretty precise on the previous post. When starting the camp I found the tottering ape in the Northwest corner of the map. After killing him, I ran to spawn point. I timed the spawns at every 6 minutes on the Maylin Starpyre server. I camped this spawn point for nearly 5 hours before the Diseased popped. I was able to solo this mob with a 65 chanter using the 62 chanter pet.

Some good advice, is have a tracker, look on track and see if "a tottering ape" is on track near loc (-1590, -90) if there isnt, then you need to head up to the western part of the zone near FoB. any where between there and the stairs is where "a tottering ape" like ot hang out. Kill all "a tottering apes" supossingly the one who cons light blue is the PH that pops back at the location i said. I think it will be light blue to a levevl 65. I used a lvl 59 druid, and all tottering apes were green except for one which was light blue. This is the one you need to kill.
Any how after you kill all "a tottering apes" on track get back down to that exact location, every 7 minutes either "a tottering ape" or "Disease-Ridden Gorilla " will spawn.
If you cant track, best thing to do is when you zone in, goto the western part liek i said above and kill all "a tottering ape' up there, then get your butt down to that locatrion within 7 minutes. The spawn there will wander, so youll want to be there when you kill the 1 totternig ape that spawns back that location. hope that helps.
I used my 46 berserker, 65 cleric, and 59 druid, it was over kill, fight lasted 2 minutes if that.

Once you have the Tottering Ape camped at his spawn point, you can leave the previous corpse to rot and use this as a timer for the next spawn. The next one will spawn when there is about 1 minute left on the corpse.

Just to clarify somethings (awsome post btw mixlpx)...there are tatterback apes and tottering gorillas; dont get confused by these. The tottering ape PH is ltb to lvl 58 and green to 62. Spawn time is about 6-7min not 11. The PH will wander up the stairs to and play on the cliff with its friends...it can also wander the jungle near the spawn point.
