Minotaur Battle Axe
Minotaur Hero Shackles
Minotaur HornLike Barnwyr below, I've camped the Hero on Fippy server for at least as much time as it should've taken to get him to pop. I estimate I've sat in Steamfont for at least 8 hours looking for him, all the while killing the slavers in the hope that he'd show up.
Has anyone seen him on Fippy?

Camped for 4 hours in steamfont with my 37 paladin on fippy server, killed 100's of slavers, with my wife's 28 druid tracking, he never spawned. Went from apprehensive to max ally with Gnome guards.

I'm getting bored with high end raiding and was looking to do some old school questing...anyone know if this guy still spawns and if the hero bracer quest is still active? I spent some time trying to get him to spawn with no luck.
4 posts
So what is the new way to get him to spawn?
IS it back to killing the single PH and waiting? or is he just set on a 4 hours timer now to pop no matter what?
Anyone know for certain?

This spawn was nerfed not due to platinum generation....it was due to the exp people were milking out of it. I admit I got a great deal of exp out of it....but others made so much more.
At 57th level I was able to get noticeable exp for each turn in of the bracer for hero bracer...and when you applied it to AA it went even faster.

Sigh - spent an hour trying to spawn him this evening - cleared the mino caves, cleared the fixed spawns around the whole area were he spawns, even slaughtered the wandering mobs - no Hero.
This guy is either on a super long fixed timer now or he's not spawning at all.

"hose that are familiar with Steamfont will tell you that he was spawning way, way too often. He is indeed spawning in the proper way now.

Words from above - someone noted under this post that the spawn time is now 4 hours - happy camping!

No ones seen him in almost 2 days. I doubt that it was realted to the PP people made. you could make better pp doing Kei, or prots, or killing HG's. And if any one thinks this is goina make the zone safe for noobs, well, there wrong. Hero is still goina pop eventually, and he is going to be looking for a naice pair of noob legs for his eye of Gnome stew. And no noob in SF will have POTG, or Sow any more, because all the druid are goian be gone. And if your happy they nerfed the hero, well I hope he finally does spawn, and beat you butt to a pulp, and I hope he sits at the cave entrence and waits for you a second time, just to get the point accross. It was the only alt to getting in a group, or running around in circle, hitting fist of Karana. and I could do it with all my friends, reguardless of levevl. And if they relay wanted to fix it, they should have nerfed the milk quest, so people couldn't get their faction up as easily. Just my 2 cP

I'm glad they changed the spawn. Now I don't have to worry about people chasing me out of the yard in front of the mino caves because they're trying to spawn the hero and spending the whole day there doing it. It's also good because now lowbies levelling there don't have to worry about being ambushed by the hero because someone inadvertently spawned him or was too low to kill him when he popped. To anyone complaining about losing their e-z plat, it's your own fault for exploiting the spawn. The quest was made a little easier for those who were doing it for xp,faction and to have a nice item that they intended to use, not for loot farmers. If so many people hadn't taken advantage, it wouldn't have been nerfed. Now everyone has to suffer. I hope the goblin camps in BBM get nerfed next. :P

Patch message today -
"- Corrected the spawn times for the Minotaur Hero."
If he won't pop at all or you're finding that he's taking hours to pop, it means that they finally got around to nerfing him.
The funny part is that it's probobly because they think people are making too much plat from selling the bracers for the shackle quest to the NPCs along with the 0-4 plat cash that the NPC pays you for turning in the shackle.

I have to admit I was getting a little more cash than that.... on my way between Qeynos and Ak'Anon I would sell my Hero Bracer for 150pp, I made like 3k in just a few hours... it was sweeeeeet... but now, alas, damn Sony took away my little XP/PP farm, and now I have to earn it the old fashioned way... up until yesterday, the effective method to POP the hero was 2 quick slaver kills in Mino caves, worked EVERY time... last night I killed 12, and waited around for 15 minutes.... NO POP!

I killed some harpies, elementals, and a couple of minotaur slavers in the caves with my 46 Rogue with total ease.. I looked outside the caves, then behind the gears I saw the Hero. I applied some poison (Kinetic Suppressant, Paralyze II) and snuck up behind him to backstab. Of course, my backstab missed, but I killed him with 3 bubbles of health left. Wasn't buffed and had no help. Got the shackles, and the max he hit for was 60ish.

Popping the HEro)
1) Run to mino caves
2) Where the cave splits into 3 tunnels, kill one of the either roaming or static minos there, and kill the one by the ent.
3) Hero will spawn outside somewhere by gears most times.
Killing Mino Hero)
You cannot pure melee the hero until about lv 50 - 55 unless you are very VERY twinked, he hits hard and can triple for 90.
Hero is VERY possible to kill at lv 32. He will be either yellow or red. if he's yellow, kill yellow ones, the red ones will pwn you.
IF you are a ranger / drood, you need to kite him. KEEP HIM SNARED!!!! OMG THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. If snare comes off, you can kiss ur a$$ goodbye. Snare, run around (make sure u got a sow) and just nuke like there's no tomorrow. When he gets below 20pct health , he will run, you can go melee him. IF u go OOM b4 he down below 20pct, then put on some ds's and go melee, HOPE U DONT DIE =). Anyway this is how i kill him. hope that helped.

This not true; he's soloable in melee combat untwinked. I've been able to take him out without LoH since 42 - stuns are helpful but not required, root/heal is needed sometimes. At 45 I could solo him without needing magic; he would usually leave me down two bubbles.

They changed the way Minotaur Hero spawns. At this time any minotaur will spawn him at any time, ..including another Minotaur Hero. Usually one trip through the caves killing slavers will pop him.

Been debating about letting this loose but have told enough people. Hero place holders are:
- First Mino Slaver in the mino cave
- Next Four are the Mino Slavers at Gorehorn's Camp (loc 1294, 1592)
- Final PH is a roaming Mino Slaver that can be anywhere between the mino cave and gorehorn's camp.
Take a friend to work Gorehorns camp and watch how quickly the Hero pops.

Kill any slaver and there is a chance to pop the hero. Dosent matter which one. He pops up at a tree across from the caves. For some reason it seems like he pops faster if the slavers are killed near that tree... sounds dumb, and is probably nothing, but try it and see for yourself. I drag them all the way to that tree rather than killing them inside the caves. Bring 2 or 3 and you are almost guaranteed to get the hero.
My lvl 14 Woodelf ranger found this item on a mino that an uper lvl character let me loot. I think it might be no drop so I cant give it to my ogre warrior. So what should I do with it? Do I sell it at the bazzarr or try to do the Escaped catman quest? Can a lvl 14 do the rest of the quest (which involves killing the named catperson)? And if so how is the exp for a lvl 14?
26 posts
Well.... You dont have to do the escaped catman quest. All you have to do is raise your faction with Knights of truth, you can do that easy, just takes a little time, then you can turn it in for a nice hero bracer and great XP, see my other post at the hero bracer quest page =)
Unless I am mistaken the named catperson, Nomala, is only level 5 or so... your biggest concern would be adds. While in Erud's Crossing, kill a few wisps and get some exp and maybe a little coin.
As far as turning in the Shackles... just make sure your faction with Grahan Rothgar is high enough (I believe you need amiable or higher) and hand him the shackles after completing the key part of the quest. He will hand you the Hero Bracers (which are not NO DROP) and your Ogre Warrior will be happy =)
For more info go to http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=550 and read some of those posts. All the information you could ever want is there at the touch of a button...

I was in Steamfont looking for a few pottery items (stupid stupid stupid ground spawns) and figured I would kill the Hero while I was there. So I was clearing the area in front of the mines (I have better luck getting the Hero to spawn by killing the wandering slavers than just the one in the mine entrace) and pop, there he was (I had NOT touched the one in the mine). I killed that one, then started buffing some 11-12ish Gnomes near the mines. They in turn caused the Hero to spawn (unintentionally) 4 MORE times in about 1/2 hour. So I saw the hero (and had to kill him) 5 times in 1/2 an hour. And he DOES have a level range. He was green 4 of the 5 times (to a 54) but he was lite blue once. I have seen this several times. He probably ranges to 38 or 39.

Just to add my voice to that of Nish'...
I had never seen the Hero pop at any time other than while killing the first minotaur slaver inside the caves. But, just last night, he spawned when I killed a roving slaver near the merchant in the gear (I had just killed the slaver in the cave about 2 minutes prior to this so I know it wasn't a coincidence between my kill and someone elses). I don't know if this is a new development or something that has always happened, but it is the first time I have seen it in the dozen or so times I have camped the hero.
Good luck in your search!

I am 51 cleric. i helped one 29 bard to kill Hero. That popped soon after i killed firs and second Minotaurs from enter. When i med for mana Hero started hit me and i had to kill that bacause it desturb mine med time. That bard got then part that he was hunting. We got that other part too a little before.
I have killed the hero about 8 times for guildies. Have tried just killing the PH just inside the minos caves, and also clearing all skellies around the clockwork pieces as well as the PH. I have not found a difference in either method.
I have spent upwards of 4 hours waiting, and have had him pop on the first kill before. We had him pop twice within an hour just killing PH on the inside of the caves. My guess is the skellies have nothing to do with him popping, but knock yerselves out just in case <grins Wulfishly>.
Also he has always spawned for me near the hills straight out and across the field from the caves (approx +1400, -1300) and has immediately headed behind the giant clockwork pieces.
At level 45-47 he has always conned from green to dark blue to me. My last kill was just tonight at level 47 and he was dark blue. (Popped after a single kill of the PH... I will always take luck over skill!)
I have found root/dot to be the most effective. Even when conning green he has made short work of my level 44 pet. I would say he is slightly weaker than a Hill Giant from Rathe or Gornit from OOT, with fewer HtPts. Approx 1500 on a rough estimate 2-venom of snake(413 each) and 1-scourge(504) got him running and then assorted piercings left him dead. If you can solo an HG then the Hero should be easily within your grasp.
Just my 2cp... hope it helps n good huntin !
(Edited to add approx LOC of where Hero spawns: +1400, -1300. He is still dark blue to me at 48)

I killed him and he also had (besides the coveted Shackles) a Minotaur Tibia on him.

The PH pops every 6 and a half minutes like clockwork. The hero, however, doesn't. So don't go AFK without invis like I did... I walked back just as the hero started beating on me, thank goodness.

Ok, level 40 Half-Elf Ranger, here is my stats and how I did it piece of cake first try.
1311 HP (wearing 6AC 65HP rings)
772 AC
876 ATK (dual wielding spine chill spear and centi shortsword with 2001HS and 198piercing)
95 WIS
Hero had jsut went down when I arrived and I got the camp as the pair camping him before me got their second shackles. I killed the first mino slaver inthe cave maybe 5 or 6 times and cleared all the skellies outside the big cogs.
Last mino slaver went down POP there he is on track behind the cogs. I buffed up my DS (Riftwinds plus Bramblecoar plus Shioeldof Thistles = 11 pt damage shield) and my proc (Call of Sky) and went after him He resited snare twice before he hit me once, I ran off he resisted snare a third time so I turned on auto attacxk and the fourth snare took. I ran off and rooted him the proceed to sling DMG5 arrows at him while blasting away with careless lightning. first time he broek root he wals already below half health so I meleed him and still hit him with 2 more careless lightnings and he turned to run. Yeha he hits hard he got in more then a coupel attacks for 90 and he double attacks pretyt fast. But he doesnt seem to have that many hp as he went down fast and left me with 2 bubs health and 1 bub mana.
There ya have it.

I went to Steamfont out of boredom, and discovered the mino caves. next thing i know i slaughter a slaver walking around inside, not the PH though, and then i walk out...bored and expecting to leave. next thing i know i have a giant mino chasing me around till a guild member came and killed him. try killing the slavers inside like one person said before. it worked for me, first try, no long camp time. I still wear the bracer, i was about lvl 30 when i took it on....errr...ran.

The first mino inside the cave is the Heros place holder. I killed him three times and the Hero finally spawned. He hits hard and slow no higher than 90s, but still hard. Easily soloed by me w/out LOH. Hope that helps))

My 36 Ranger was paired w/ a 35 Druid. We went to camp the Hero, someone was already there, said he had been waiting two hours and he hadn't popped. This guy was killing just the slaver at the entrance. Well, we went in and started killing all the mino's in the cave (except down near Meldrath). With in 20 mins the Hero had spawned. The other guy made his kill and left us the Camp. Using the same "kill all Minos" method, we got 3 more hero's in another hour and a half. Workd for us, maybe it will work for you.

OK... I have gotten a lot of people saying that this Mino is hard and with all the PH's that you have to kill and how fast they spawn will be very Difficult. Ok.. I am a 53rd Season Rogue. I came in, Slaughtered all the PHs loseing maybe half a bub of life. Next Raid of Spawn attacked me while I was AFK... Went down a Bub of life.. I was AFK for like 3 min. Cam back.. Killed them all. Sat down to regen. Hero Spawned. Poped me pretty hard while I was sitting Down I got up Started attacking him for like 5 Sec. He is Already running away. SO I am pretty sure that the PHs are a lot harder to Deal with then Hero Himself =P

Well, when he came by and pounded me a few times while I was medding (teach me not to keep an eye on track!) he scored some 95s (max hits since I was sitting). This was on one of the green con (to a 54) spawns of the Hero.

Could a lvl 34 Shaman and pet take him?
Yes... With care...
I recommend starting with Root/Dot until you have em good and mad at you. Remove your pets taunt with /pet taunt (I also recommend SOW, Strength and haste for your pet) and send him in when the Hero is about 25% down and has broken root. Then kite him around letting your pet do the work, and keeping him dotted.
Trying to melee him directly with the pet will most likely leave you petless and in dire straights.
Hope this helps =)

Solo'd by an unbuffed 35 monk after 45 minutes. =) Keep aggro and run around waiting for mend. He doesn't regen fast while chasing but will if you FD and bandage. I started with full health and mend ready. After that i had to mend 7 times. I used jboots, fbss, and a goranga spiked club - nothing else special. I was able to disarm him within the first half of the battle, not sure if it really made a difference though. ID hit once but was resisted.
Have killed him as a 48 bard too. Fear/kite.
He's not so tough :)

I camped the mino PH for about an hour and a half, left the skeles alone, but figured I'd kill 2 birds with one stone by killing clockworks for servos for my trueshot quest as well. After about an hour and a half the hero spawned, so I snared him and kited him with, say, 120 arrows, then he got nasty and resisted 6 snares in a row and killed me, I was bound in GFay and by the time I got back he "un-spawned". Nobody claimed to train him to the guards, and there were only 2 other people in the zone, both under level 10. Guess you only get one shot

Spent 5 hours camping this to get the bracer for a friend. I was using my pet to kill the skeles and mino PH at entrance, and buffing the snot out of the players in the area. Stupid thing didn't spawn once. I tried pulling the slaver out, leading him somewhat near the big gear (w/ all the skeles dead) and nuking it dead there. No hero spawn. Tried just sicking my pet on the slaver after pulling him out a bit. No hero spawn. I even lead the slaver out and poked him w/ my big stick until he died. No hero spawn. I guess I'm just unlucky, but the bugger wouldn't pop. Perhaps minotaurs don't like pets. heh

If you are so "boared", try working on your spelling.
I also find it funny that a lvl 60 has nothing better to kill or loot besides a mid lvl spawn, for a mid lvl bracer.
I camped the Hero yesterday for about 6 hours without a pop. Talked to some friends and they told me to keep the skellies cleared from the hole in the big gear. So I did that, as well as killing the first slaver inside the cave.
Here is what happened the first time I tried it.
Killed a gnome skeleton.
Killed the slaver.
Killed a skeleton.
Killed a slaver.
Killed a decaying skeleton. (had about 200 hp, which is really odd for a decaying)
Killed a slaver.
Hero popped.
Decaying skeleton popped again. (high hp also)
Killed a slaver.
Killed a gnome skeleton.
Killed a slaver.
Killed a skeleton.
The skeletons standing in the gear are in a patteren, I'm nearly postive they are part of the Hero spawn process.
I tried to repeat the patteren but had to log :( Will try it again real soon and put up another post if it works.

I camped the Hero yesterday for about 6 hours without a pop. Talked to some friends and they told me to keep the skellies cleared from the hole in the big gear. So I did that, as well as killing the first slaver inside the cave.
Here is what happened the first time I tried it.
Killed a gnome skeleton.
Killed the slaver.
Killed a skeleton.
Killed a slaver.
Killed a decaying skeleton. (had about 200 hp, which is really odd for a decaying)
Killed a slaver.
Hero popped.
Decaying skeleton popped again. (high hp also)
Killed a slaver.
Killed a gnome skeleton.
Killed a slaver.
Killed a skeleton.
The skeletons standing in the gear are in a patteren, I'm nearly postive they are part of the Hero spawn process.
I tried to repeat the patteren but had to log :( Will try it again real soon and put up another post if it works.

So there I was happily camping the Minotaur Hero certain the he would not spawn so soon. After about 30 minutes I decided to take a look around. In the 2 minutes that I was away, I found out that a druid had taken over my camp. I then watched as he pulled the "a minotaur slaver" outside, killed him, and then the Minotaur Hero popped! He was dead in 2 secs and the druid went happily away with his bounty. I decided to give it another shot and did exactly the same routine as the druid. About 4 trys later, the Hero somehow spawned! I'm a 40 pally so I figured I would be able to take him down with ease. BIG MISTAKE! He hits FAST and deals about 90 damage per hit! Took him down to about 1/10 health before I had to root him and run away =(

Just wanted to add my 2cps...Hero spawns at his leisure....I got two in as much time as it took me to port over to the commons and sell them. 2 hrs. max for two...got Hero to spawn after 2-3rd killing of first slaver. I did this one morning and got the two by about 11. Sat there at the mouth of that rotten tunnel for the rest of the day killing that Mino and not one Hero. Sheeesh.
Anyway, I also heard a rumor that Skels had to be cleared in the area by, and behind, cog. Don't know if this is true. Anyone with any info on this rumor, please reply, cause I havent had any luck since that morning.
Oh well...at least I got to sell two...Good Luck Hero Slayers!!

I used to camp Hero for Guild mates whenever they needed, most common was 5 mins to 4 hour spawn for me and i did this lots of times ( A lot )
Has the spawn been majorly changed? Not popped now for 3 days for me :(

Just came from rathe mountains ,had to gate , hg resisted snare about 5 times rwally lom, but what the hech hero wont spawn, right, it took couple hours last time to get him to pop, so there i am with half health and less mana and i kill ph, and you guessed it he poped, first time. I was not quitting eventhough i was loom, i rooted and droned, just be a long easy kite, wrong again, as soon as i sit to med a lousy rat hits me breaks med, i waste precious mana to root rat, cant melee worth crap even at lvl39, and i run to other side of valley to med and as soon as i sit a skelie hits me breaks med, now all roots break and three mobs on me with low mana., looks like the night of the living dead with all mobs chasing me, still im not quitting, i drone hero again, root rat kill skellie, and can now med, only have 1bub of mana hero better than half health, hehe he is done soon i get to med and drone and get schackles, this was the most intense 10 minutes of computer gaming I have ever had, and I been doing this for a long time. This game rocks.

I have gotten 2 bracers from him so far..once with a 45 druid..once with a 44 wizzy...alll you people who say he is easy are casters with root and dot's. If you are a melee clas that isn't at least lvl 40 wait till you are....good luck all you questers

Why do you think he said MELEEs have a hard time with Hero, smart ass? Or are you not able to read? Go back to kiting HGs in Rathe and stay there!

All I keep reading is how you couldn't solo him. Com'on get your self a cleric, after all that is all a warrior (and most other melee classes)are, a clerics pet.

I just killed the Hero today with my druid, and the shackles were no drop. Did they change this?
I am worried that my druid will not be able to do the quest...

I've been droppin red melee npcs and such with my 21 bard for a while now... just takes alot of circles is all. (you bards out there know what I'm talkin about) Anyway, I think I will give this guy a shot!

I'm a level 55 bard and engaged melee to this guy.. My full singing steel and SSS wasn't really enough to kill him.. since I died and *POOF* I was 54 again and lost about a weekly play =(...
So he isn't as easy as everyone thinks!
So he isn't as easy as everyone thinks!
Ok, I'll hafta admit, I don't know much about playing bards but the one thing I do know is that a bard should never try and solo something melee. All the bards I've seen are kiteing thier prey. And level 55? At 55 these guys shouldn't even touch you.

You're level 55 and you DIED??? And you are admitting this in public?? You are an idiot, how did you get to 55? This guy is an easy kill. Next time, try the OTHER character you bought off of Ebay.

hah. Don't flame someone who is level fifty five when you have never had a character over 50. although he does have a point mr bard, why didnt you click on selo's and run away?

I have a level 60 shaman. The bard is pathetic if he lost to the hero. I have to agree. Buy another character, bard isn't your bag baby.

Easy way to gain faction for FP is to run to High Hold keep auction for some Left Gobbie ears and turn them in to Captain Bosec, you get some gold and all plusses on faction including Corrupt Guards of Qeynos, Freeport militia and high hold faction as well as a few others Hope this helps
? wtf? What the hell do Highkeep goblins have to do with minotaurs? Well, here's my 2cp. If you wanna get good faction with Highkeep, Freeport and Qeynos, do orcs. They all spawn on the cliff, they all aggroo, the faction hits you get for killing them is decent and the scalps you turn in get you about 4 gold (give or take). I went from scowls to kindly in a week, sold 2 Shiny Brass Idols and got a Scralok pack for my troubles. If you want exp do the gobs in the basement, good exp and they usually drop plat and FS weapons in the warrior room.
"...But trick us again child and your suffering will be legendary, Even in hell."
That doesn't work very well. You get only a miniscule bit of faction for each goblin ear; I myself started out dubious in Highhold/Highkeep and apprehensive in East and West FP, and after turning in dozens of ears I am STILL dubious in HH and HK and apprehensive in WFP and EFP. I have heard since then that you need to turn in hundreds of ears to raise faction any considerable amount...at 1 or 2pp per ear this could get kinda expensive.
What I don't understand is...why is this message about Hihgkeep and Freeport in a section about Minotaur Heros?

Simple. Alot of people who quest for the Hero Bracer take the easy way in raising SteelWarrior faction in Qeynos. On the bad side of doing this, it kills your FreeportMilitia faction. He's just suggesting a way to raise FP faction I'd imagine. Of course, nothing is better than doing the DF belt quest...

Mostly cons green to a 49 ranger. But today he conned Blue to me. even at green you get the exp. message.
Only the 1st slaver in the cave is needed to trigger the spawn, but the Hero is a timed spawn so you can kill the 1st slaver all you want ,if it aint time for the Hero to spawn, he wont.

I was trying to get him to spawn last weekend (7-7-01). I was at the caves by myself when it happened. The only thing I killed was the first slaver in the cave on the left. All the skells where up, Meldrath was up. I did pull the slaver outside the tunnel to kill it, but I don't know if it was necessary. I believe that Minotaur Slaver is the one and only key to triggering the Hero to spawn.

Yesterday I finally got my shackle. Uncamped I tped there to see the Lord up whacked that chump and pulled the "a minotaur slaver" across the zone--nothing. I preceded to kill 3 more of them and another Lord. Then the slaver popped again. I drug him across the zone. And there he was attacking me upon the death of the slaver. Extraordinarily easy for my druid. Yes my druid-I camped this guy for endless hours with my warrior and nothing and the one time I decide to try with my druid he pops. Well time to raise that steel warriors faction. Anyone selling deathfist belts?
