Killed this guy 6/23/2010 with just myself(85 SK, 4k AA) and the merc. Was able to go alone up till about 70 % when my train died off, then started going between 2.0 and merc and vamp mode and such. Took about 50-55 mins, blew HT twice, had to resummon merc 2 or 3 times. This fight was no push over, was pretty disced out, 20 % mana, merc dead for the 3rd or 4th time, when porthio finally fell. I'll have to try a dragon next time, at least it won't have a stupid cat with it.

Periodically he will also make one of the following emotes:
Porthio the Second Born says 'Nightshade! Get rid of that troublesome caster.
Porthio the Second Born says 'Nightshade! Kill that blasted healer!


On the command of these messages, Nightshade will mem wipe himself and target a character of the appropriate class.

I believe this item is a task reward for "Entrance into Daosheen's Chamber" -- not a drop. The task does involve killing Porthio, however.

The way we do it is. Have MT (Warrior) Tank porthio. And Knights (Pal/SK) Tank the cat. Clerics Heal MT. Druid/Shams Heal Knights. Keep cat AWAY from Porthio. Because he has mean AoE Ramp. Kill Porthio First. Then finish cat.

Kill the cat first really ;)

Each guild does it their own way.. but if you kill the cat, you lose rampages, manadrain AE, quasi-DT from the cat etc..

If you kill Porthio 1st, then you still have a crazy memblurring cat to deal with.

Once Nightshade is dead, Porthio becomes just a trash mob with a bunch of HP.

Know this is an old post- but don't kill the cat first. He is a tonne harder than Porthio and will take longer to kill.

I have not seen him drop Crystals of the Firstborn. Rather after you get three dragon teeth from the large named dragons and part of Porthios staff from Nightshade, you turn them in to the apprentice mage in Arcstone for the book, which lets you enter Daosheens chamber.
New drop

I know. Wolfsclan has killed him countless times and the crystals have dropped only once.
