Make sure you're looking behind you

I was having a difficult time spawning him at first. After reading a few sites, I found out:

Map becomes active multiple times in one night; Start at the top of the Ramp to Kael. If at first, you're lead to no where, head back to the top of the ramp and wait for the map to become active again. Should activate 3 times between 7pm and 7am.

When following the maps directions, F9 out to a view of your character where you can see behind you. What I read and what I experienced myself is Larnik spawns at a fast run behind you and heads back toward Kael. If you're not looking behind you, you'll miss him.

It appears, that if he has been killed within 24hrs real life time, that the map will never give any directions.

It often gives fake directions, and you get the emote of:
The map seems to have led you in the wrong direction. There is nothing here.

To set up an Aduio Trigger for when it starts giving directions, use the following trigger text:
The map glows and points


Having a hotkey set up to /tar Larnik helps alot. Also, having a second with:
/pause 5,/say Hail, %t 
/pause 5,/say Korbuk sent me. 
/say The great purification

helps alot as well.
Having someone on the ramp, with a hotkey for Korbuk sent me. may help stop him, so you can catch up to him.

spawned him yesterday lb con to 80 warrior bb geared and this is how it went down stood at the top of the ramp with the map on my cruzer with the map pulled down to the corner with the corner just showing . it went live at 7pm but when it say's behind and to the left don't do the ne crap just turn around and go behind then u will get an emote saying to the left but he spawned at the 8000 4638 area and looked like he was trying to run to the zl i almost thought it was a group member so definitely have your walk button up to click to run quickly and switch right over to the preset say button's u have set . lmao catching up to the dude was the longest part of the battle

after several tries to find larnik i think ur best method is hav a friend mage with you at the front of keal passage and you have the map on cursor at 7 pm you walk where the map tells you very slow walk almost walk-pause till mage see larnik going through the passage then he coth you .. make suer mage awake lol cause he kinda run fast going down so he barely see him going down .. dont worry u have time to catch him when he coth u taggle walk-run to run after him have your hotkays rdy for what u wanna say then run after him down passage hail him then hit hotkays which korbuk sent me and great purification then he attack you easy fight.. by th way the map did go active also at 2am but never seen him spawned.. good luck fello warriers

ok this guy and his map are giving me major problems. I have gone slowly, i have done the move up a few steps and wait for next direction and all that jazz, i have also tried putting down a bunch of possible trigger points and gone to those and nothing. I tried tonight 4 times and on the 4th time it didn't even give me a direction. Right from the beginning it said the map is taking me no where. So anyone have any advice, just need this idiot then final and i will have 2.0. Please anyone at all.

Thanks,

Quoted from KegsKong on warrior 2.0 epic.. relates to this mob so reposting, it is accurate:

Update for this walkthrough. REMEMBER TO PUT WALK ON ! AND PUT MAP ON CURSER! GO SLOW .



1. The map becomes active at 7pm game time you must have it on your curser !!!!
2. When it becomes active you should be infront of keal passage <Top of ramp >
3. MAKE SURE YOU TOGGLE YOUR SPEED TO WALK AND REMOVE SOE ,SOW what ever . Follow the message without turning your curser but slighly .
4. As you follow the message , you will be ambushed by gray Gaints at level 75 . <EASY> This will happen 2 or three times before Larnik the Recluse spawns.
5. Go very slow and when you see him spawn hail him , then say Korbuk sent me Then he will stop running BUT he will only stop for little bit .
6. Once you got him stoped say 'The great purification He will become angry and attack . GOODNEWS he is VERY Slow you can kite him around in circles and shout for help in guildchat or general.
7. He is ALREA east 1 group or 70-75's could kill him My warrior is 75 with only 180 AA's and he only hit me for max 800 damage and his spell's didnt stick.
Light blue con at 75 and im 100% sure he is able to be killed with Warrior Cleric Shaman mix .
put it on your cursor >< wasted time

The giants spawning are part of the kael shawl quests. Nothing to do with warrior 2.0

Larnik
# Jun 18 2007 at 7:49 AM Rating: Decent
Helped a guildie do this last night. At 7PM gametime the map becomes active, but Larnik does not pop, so he is not trackable. The map leads you to a trap-like spot, where if the Warrior gets close to the trap, it pops Larnik. Other group members won't pop Larnik if they are near the spot. You need to walk sort of slow, because if you run over the trap spot too fast, you may not pop Larnik.

Our trap spot last night was around -5920,+2850, which is a spot just northeast of the Kael entrance.

When he does pop, he starts running immediately towards Kael. Hailing did not seem to stop him. You cannot snare him (illegal target) or slow him any other way, until he becomes KoS. Make sure you have your trigger text hot-keyed to stop him from running.

He was very easy for a level 75 group, Anguished geared. The warrior never dropped below 80% health. I think we healed him once for the entire fight.

The trick is getting him to pop and then catching him. He is not faster than SoE, but he is pretty fast.

I know that if you have not popped him by 11PM game time, you need to wait another game-day cycle.

finally

Finally figured out how this works. When your map becomes active at around 7pm gametime, move SLOWLY in the direction it point. Moving fast can cause you to overshoot larnik as he DOES MOVE at all times upon his spawn. If it says "the map glows and points straight ahead" or whatever, move just a little straight ahead, not a large chunk of distance like i was before. I could not get this guy to spawn for several nights, then got him to spawn 2 times in 2 nights. Mob is easy as well...any decently geared group will own him. Hit me max for about 1025, most around 300-500 at 2500 ac, but did land the 4k DD proc near the end of the fight 1 time. Finding him the tough part, killing him easy. I just simply stood at the top of the ramp to Kael , and when the map became active, moved from there along with its direction. He does not spawn at the ramp, only runs towards it. Good luck and safe hunting.
trackable?

That silly map is giving me fits for the last few days, so i was wondering if anyone could tell me if Larnik is trackable or not. Been having my wifes ranger with me to track while the map is active, but have not seen him up during any of the active times.
Spawn time

I have a feeling that Larnik is on a 24 hour spawn timer. I was there when one warrior killed him and the next night all my map would say is "The map doesn't appear to be leading you anywhere". I stayed there for 10 hours getting the same thing. I logged in the next day 24 hours later and the map started working again.

So if you go through several nights of the map not leading you anywhere it is possible someone has already killed him.
keep the map

After u kill larnik for yourself. u can go back and help other warrior's with it. I had my kit done already took my map to EW today and helped a friend get it. both maps were working.
Best way to do this is use the loc's from steelwarriors , find that direction then run all around the loc. Good Luck all

Ok. The map you get from Iceclad is a toss up. Sometimes is will lead you nowhere, sometimes it will spawn Larnik.

When you get the correct map, it should lead you somewhere over a hill just east of the top of the ramp to Kael.

Larnik will spawn very close nearby and immediately begin running towards Kael. Your best bet is to be in 3rd person view or to have some friends spread around you to keep an eye out for him.

Hailing Larnik will bring up dialogue, but he will keep running. Telling Larnik that Korbuk sent you will cause him to halt in place. Asking him about the great purification will cause him to attack you.

Is not a hard fight ... one groupable by any decenty geared group.

Spawning Larnik

This was my 4th attempt to spawn Larnik. I was level 71 and thought maybe I could solo. Here is what I discovered. The directions from the map are consistent meaning that if you stand still and map says..'straight ahead', it will say the same thing on next direction. Therefore Larnik is stationary. Its best if you stand still and try and get a straight ahead direction. Then move ahead a bit and then stop. It should say the same thing. Larnik has a very small aggro range to the map holder. So its a matter of just getting close to him. Before I was running in all sorts of directions and missing him. I was always close tho. Once he spawns, he runs. I had my hotkey hail but he kept ignoring me..dunno why..maybe I was too far but eventually I got him to stop. Then I said, 'what purification tablet' and he hit me for 1700. Ohoh..I better call for help. So I ran in circles and called for help. In the meantime, I also got the death squad on me. Eventually 3 of my fellow guildmates came to help including a cleric and it was just a mattter of time. He does have a lot of HP. Good luck...
