Finally dropped the SEoC today for my ranger, so yes can confirm its still here, just took forever to get him to spawn. Probably cleared spawn point 14-20 times before the named popped there, all lower case too so it doesn't stand out on tracking like some of the others.
Dropped finally from the Hideous rat last night. After 3 weeks of weekday evenings in Hate, killing 13 mini bosses and countless trash, the rat had it. -I would suggest trying the hideous rat first. Be careful because he has 5 mobs guarding him and also sends out a whirl-till-you-hurl which was the only spell I didn't resist in the whole 3 weeks. Outside his building is also the Deathrot Knight and his pet, plus 4-5 yard trash. I think you can pick them all off seperately and work your way in. Somekind of harmony/pacify spell is really helpful. Special thanks to Findaen, Shaman of the Disciples of Justice for helping me trash the trash to get in there! Location: From Zone in, cross the bridge, turn left, work your was to the East Wall following the buildings on the left. Against the wall is a building that leads into an entry hall. The rat hides under the table and lets the other mobs do most of his fighting. Also dropped the Darkmetal Holy Sprinkler.

Mapfiend.net also has downloadable maps for your maps folder with the locations of all the bosses for Tiers 1, 2&3, and 4. -Slappig, 71st Ranger, Disciples of Justice
this mob spawns near the Deathrot Knight. If u plan on camping this named/PH be sure to take out the Deathrot Knight first cus he has a killer aggro range. The Hideous Rat/PH spawns in the NE building, and is the center mob of the 3 mobs in the back room. And yes it has been confirmed to drop the SEoC.
