So, I am in the Nexus, getting KEI when a guildie hails me. Her being a 50 cleric, myself a 50 Druid (recent ding...) She asks for some buffs, because she is on her way to Rathe. I ask, pp hunting? No, the reply. She is going after her corpse, after losing a fight with a griffon. A griffon? Well, I told her that I would help her out, and we both buff each other with HP/resists and head on over to Feerrott, then zone into Rathe.

I load ICE (612DD), Terrorize Animal (its a griffon, right?), Drifting Death (DoT), Expulse Summoned (or whatever the lvl 44 DD vs. summoned spell 585DD), Circle of Feerrott (in case of trouble), Greater Healing, Ensnare and Engulfing Roots.

She roots the main, I nuke the pet. Pet is down to 10percent health. I nuke it the rest of the way down. Main baddie breaks nuke and heads over to cleric. I start with Drifting Death, and then try to root mob so cleric can back off. 1 resist, and 1 stuck. Only lasted about 10 seconds, but I throw a heal on the cleric. Then, I nuke it with ICE. Bad news? Only moves the HP bar down a small portion on the mob. Then, when I SHOULD have feared it, it fears me. I lose control and run away. When that breaks I head back, only to run smack dab into an Entrance spell. Man, does THAT last for awhile. Fear was about 10 seconds in duration, the Entrance felt like it was a minute. Cleric was going down pretty fast, because she kept getting stunned by the mob.

Needless to say, when my Entrance breaks, I see the mob heading back to where it came from. The cleric was still alive, and so was I. I was down to half health and 30mana (even had KEI and 230wis, resists near low 90s, but didn't seem to help greatly...)

First time I ever saw a mob walk away from 2 guaranteed kills. Was getting ready for a corpse run that night...

Well, throughout rathe is an egyptian lore undertone. there are also the egyptian named scarab beetles by the pire.. and even a "runed" city as it were. From the looks it looked somewhat Dark elvish, since I have never seen that rune ring in any other city. There is this over all, mising civilization feel as if the whole zone is a puzzle to be solved.

Ever heard of the famous egyptian Silent sphynx?

Their mytology is very similar to this, and it took a hell of a nut to crack the sphynx in the myth.

Maybe the godly Verant expects something like this from us, who knows. /shrug
oh yea

We just took this guy down about 5 min ago, due to boredom.

He's not that rough, actually. Myself (52 Ranger), a 53 Cleric, and a 47 druid got him while goofing around. he procs SpectreStun and a 41pt tap, other than that, he;s pretty much a straight caster mob. I resisted Anarchy about 7 times throughout the fight, but it was not at all close. He did not attempt to G-Flux us at all.

He dropped about 7pp, but fun nonetheless :)
Hmm

Lol... Maybe you can talk to them in some different language... Just a thought /shrug
RE: Hmm
# Apr 02 2002 at 2:14 AM Rating: Decent
You may have a point there, there are languages for just about everything, I wonder if there is a Sphinx one and if so you might be able to talk to this Mob in it.
Funny...

I'm running around Rathe kicking some giant but, just like everyone else, needless to say. Just like everyone else though, I havent checked out the entire zone, cuz lets face it, when u go to Rathe, ur not there to explore, u go in, get cash and leave. Anyway, I got a little side-tracked after fear kiting a giant and was in the drake/sphinx valley, thinking that i'm in the giant valley. After seeing a drake or 2, i realize that i'm in the wrong section and head back to the HG valley. On my way back, i see some wings flapping just outside of the entrance, assuming it was another idiot drake, i go straight for it to give it a good monkie beating. When i get there I see a druid scurrying away and some egyptian god-like creature chasing it straight towards an HG group after the halfling and slapping everyone on it's way there. I figure it's none of my business and make a break for the zone, but then realized that was my friend's group and went to help. Anyway, the guy cons blue to me at level 45 and I have a fresh sow, so i give it a try. The group and I get the fool down to half life, when he turns on me and does a gravity-flux on everyone (it hit me for 300 points with Safe Fall at 180+,.. EEEK!!), I resisted the summoning 2 times, the third time i wasnt so lucky, but it didnt last long. But, not everyone did. To make a long story short, I kited the guy to the Lake Rathe zone to allow ppl to zone or log. I got out with half a red bubb of health, but i didnt go back into Rathe that day, so i dont know if he was killed.

Greetings all,

This may seem like a no-brainer but I have to double check just in case (Hey it's Verrant - you never know)... I understand that the Beetles give positive faction with their matching "Sphynx"s, but do they give a negative hit to the opposite faction as well?

Sorry thats bob my alter ego, say hello bob, Hello Bob. Ok ill put him back in the cage now.
Enchanters get fear and pie is good.
# Nov 15 2001 at 6:44 AM Rating: Default
First of all it isnt a necro enchanter mix, enchanters also get fear, secondly pie is good, i mean there are so many different types of pie, you have your steak pie, your chicken pie, your beef pie, sheep pie, pork pie, and of course there are the desert pies such as, the berry pie, the apple pie, the chicken pie (yes thats good to top off the chicken pie you ate for dinner), artichoke pie, cabbage pie, spinach pie, asparagus pie, mushroom pie, carrot pie, cream pie, pear pie, pineapple pie, orange pie, lemon pie and cheescake pie, to name just a few, but i could go on, beleice me i could go on... And i will... *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* *munch* PIE IS GUUD, ME WANT MORE PIE!!!!!!!.

To add to my last post. Sorry was in a rush so i didn't say everything i wanted to.Ok, Iam a level 48 druid and like i said i have taken down this guy. Took a long time but i did it. I tracked it down near the HG valley were their is alot of drakes , he is stationed on top of a hill you should see him from far away. He was kos on me. I snared him run real far waited for pet to come in range and rooted the pet and than nuked it with the 550dmg vs summon nuke druids get and rooted one more time to death (the 103dmg root) so thats aproc 700hp on the pet. The pet is a enchanter pet which hits for low 30's. Than for the big guy. I rooted it than dotted it and med till dot wears of , did this the whole fight and finnaly took him down(had around half a mana bub left). When he broke my roots he never acctualy hit me , he only got close and started casting a spell. Spells were like fear , life leech , anarchy and some other. The only one that got me was anarchy and not always full dmg. I think this thing is a cross between a necro and a chanter. It dropped 2pp thats all. Anarchy does 288dmg if not resisted. ouchie ) and i don't know about the other ones since i resisted them all. Anyway if your a druid around my level cast all resistance buffs , chloroplast and skin like diamond or nature if your 49. Good luck. Just side note. My wisdom is 190 and around 150mana in mana items. With buff my mr is 65 but next level i get upgraded mr buff. Anyway once again good luck if your killing this guy , he's one tough griffon err necro err chanter , whatever he is lol.

Well myself (43 druid) and my friend (42 sk) thought we would have a go on this thing last night before we logged. It conned blue to both of us so we thought it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

How wrong we were. Sk pulled it and I snared it, which it obviously took some offense to and proceded to stun me then fear me then hit me for 180 DD before deciding to start hitting the sk again. I dotted it with DOD and the SK feared it and went to work meleeing with his pet. this went on for several minutes until the sk ran out of mana.At this time I'd got off several heals and dusted off its pet I was down to about 30% mana.
The sphinx was down to about 50% of it's HPs, then the sk went LD, god damn. At this point I trieds to get some roots off so I could med, it resisted nearly all of them and broke the roots that did stick after about 10 seconds, it tried casting a sackful of spells on me, but I resisted them all even with only 35MR, at that point I thought it best to gate. SK died.

May have taken him if SK hadn't gone LD, but it would have been a close one.

Why doesn't some druid cast scale of wolf on some monk and have him train one on the other then FD.

Either one will kill the other or they take each other down to wear a lower lvl group can kill it.

Scale of Wolf poofs when you get hit, and these cast.

The Monk would make it approximately two inches before Scale of Wolf was poofed.
RE: i have an idea
# Apr 16 2001 at 1:00 AM Rating: Default
Hrmm, it would prolly work, but I think this bad mo fo is a chanter. He'd cast some horrid spell on the running monk, and that'd be the end for everyone. However, this plan is better than my fool proof strategy of killing DEF guards all day for their swords...sigh

Quest Givers
# Jan 31 2001 at 7:06 PM Rating: Decent
Was talking with a guildmate after spotting one of the two sphinxes one day, and he says that they are quest givers. One is evil, one is good, raise faction by killing the beetle guards of the opposite Griff, and apparently you can get a quest. Didn't say which sphinx is which or what the quest results are, but I may pick a sphinx at random and try to get enough faction with it to get its quest.
RE: Quest Givers
# Aug 03 2001 at 4:14 PM Rating: Default
Ankhefenmut faction starts out scowling to trolls and ogres (not sure how they start out to other races); Zazamoukh faction starts out indifferent. So that's which is good and which is evil.

Btw, the beetles all range from level 7 to 9 with an even chance of each. Just took my troll warrior from 8 to 10 on the Ankh beetles. XPs are great, loot is not.

He was pulling your leg :)

They've never had a purpose, except mabye to add a little mystery to the zone. I was Dubious to em when I first used wolfform in that zone (over a year ago), and they weren't very communicative.

And if they are from a quest, it'd be from the early days, with a pants reward =P
