It might be true...

Though I ve never encountered him myself to confirm it, it might be possible that he can Charm.
There are wierd hybrids in the game even odd Class/Race combinations, like NPCs that are Barbarian Monks (Dervs) and such. That s just Verant for ya...

I came back and we killed him about 5 times then everyone had to go. We were trying to get Hero to spawn too but didnt work. No xp but tons of fun.
Makes a nice pet

I was helping a friend get Meldrath's head yesterday and I actually ended up killing him 3 times (I was bored and having a bad-connection night so no real fighting).

One time, my pet got killed early and I was a little lom. So I loaded beguile and charmed ol Meldrath.

He hits pretty well. I had him tank against his own pet and then kill as many minos as I could.

Ended up nuking him, but it was funny to watch the lowbies come check out the werewolf with Meldrath as a pet.
Can a 39 druid take him?

Could a lvl 39 druid take him solo or should i bring a friend?

1) My druid buddy was level 51 when he went into the Mino Caves to kill Meldrath. Meldrath had killed both him and my magician once upon a time, and it was payback time. My buddy killed Meldrath finally, but he was at half health when he finished.

2) As noted, there are minotaur guards in there that I've read are up to level 40. Druids are good, but not good enough to take a blue Meldrath, his pet, and one or two yellow guards.

Bring a friend, he has a couple guards with him as well as a pet.

No.

35 Ranger
36 Druid
39 Druid
40 Wizard

Couldn't take him because of the others in the room.

I'd doubt that a any one person would be able to take him solo at that level without risk of dying.

btw. I went to go look to see if he agroes even if he's green 2 days ago.
Bah! I wound up dead.
Pretty funny a 50 wizard lying dead on the groud haveing to make the trip back to SF agin.
btw good luck finding a rez.

-A crazy 51 wizard
but not that crazy
why is a necro in ringmail
# Nov 05 2000 at 4:06 AM Rating: Default
why the hell is meldrath in ringmail he is a necro?
RE: why is a necro in ringmail
# Jan 26 2001 at 4:51 PM Rating: Default
There are many odd items carried or worn by NPCs but what upsets me is you don't get them. Elven necros can get full enchanted elven chainmail so I don't see why a gnome necro can't have something similar. It would be cool if he had a rare drop of small necro chain just to make him worth killing. I stumbled on him as a 25th level wiz and died so fast it left me stunned.

Yes charmed! As in fighting the rest of my party charmed. Why he had me firing my bow at people is beyond me though. Guess he bought the crap that rangers are masters of archery.
skull drop
# Aug 15 2000 at 11:07 AM Rating: Default
how often does he drop a skull? twice now I've looted and not gotten one
RE: skull drop
# May 19 2001 at 12:21 PM Rating: Default
Maybe you were just unlucky. The game does have a good-god/bad-god cycle. If you worship a bad god during the good god half of the cycle, you'll have a hard time. Vice Versa too. I used to think I would have a hard time occasionally cuz I wasn't doing something right or the game was being moody...
#Anonymous, Posted: Aug 18 2000 at 6:54 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Skull isn't on him. It is on the floor of the room he spawns in. Just get past the Mino guards, his pet and him and it's all yours. It is in the corner behind the pipe looking thingy.
RE: skull drop
# Nov 03 2000 at 5:02 PM Rating: Default
The skull is ALWAYS on him, i have killed this little bugger at least 20 or 30 times and the skull has dropped EVERY one of those times. As for the skull in his room, i dont' know what it is for. If anybody knows what it is for, reply to this.

That skull is for a Pally quest in which you find the other "dusty" remains of a fallen hero.
RE: skull drop
# Aug 30 2000 at 10:08 PM Rating: Excellent
The skull IS on him.
The skull you referr to is for a quest for a level 49 paladin spell.
The skull on the ground is a dusty skull, the ivy quest requires the skull of meldrath.

I was in there killin him the other day. Every time he died the skull was on him. Maybe you just had some bad luck :(

So far, I have had this little punk killed 6 times in a row and he has yet to drop a skull. I have gotten rat ears off him twice now. What's up with that?

when i was just lvl 2 or so, i met him. even though i was a necro, he still double hit me for 475 or something like that. he was standing in the newbie area, i think his pet was in a guard or something
Man, I have seen more misinfo on these p
# Mar 24 2000 at 12:27 PM Rating: Decent
Meldarth does not charm. Its fear. Your not his pet doing anything for him right? Its fear, you just run, pathing has been fixed now you run out the cave towards the Windmills, although I never made it all the way to the windmills before the fear wore off. He is lvl 35 and he use to spawn pretty fast too but seems that has changed.

Meldrath hits like somthing 5 levels higher, and has the hit points of a giant. He can be pulled through walls, and no matter how much you do to him, if you run him by someone he'll pull onto them

He's not 35 either, he's 33 or 32.
Skull

I wandered through the Minotaur Caves into Meldrath's Room... he charmed me through the walls, and charmed me all the way outside the mino caves.. Lucky?? I think so.
RE: Charmed
# Sep 21 2000 at 9:45 AM Rating: Default
Yes, once again, someone is confusing Fear with Charm. If you are charmed, you will fight for him, attacking his enimies. If there are no targets for your master's hatred, you will stand faithfully beside him.

I was a dwarven warrior and all the minos looked at me indiffrenty.......so it isn't just necros
Regarding Meldrath the Malignant
# Mar 01 2000 at 11:00 AM Rating: Default
This guy means trouble for lower levels. One night, while I was wandering steamfont, I encountered him. The old Gnomish necromancer, though blood of my blood, attacked me without mercy. I was dead in a few seconds. Make sure that whenever he appears, that you call for the higher levels. They just may save your life.

Back at first release, he used to kill players by charming them and making them walk into the walls where they got stuck or fell to their deaths. Corpses were lost without GM intervention.
