PH timer

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.
Easy for 40 Ranger

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.

Just kill the first Mino

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.
Slaughtered Hero
# Mar 25 2002 at 7:25 PM Rating: Default
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
how hard does he hit?
# Mar 11 2002 at 1:55 PM Rating: Default
how hard wold he hit for because im sorta a twinked rogue at lvl 25 soling higher stuff so how hard he hit for so i can slaughter his *** or me and my cousins warrior hes lvl 45 so we WIN
RE: how hard does he hit?
# Aug 16 2002 at 4:59 AM Rating: Decent
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.

# Mar 24 2002 at 6:33 AM Rating: Decent
He would destroy you at Level 25. With your cousins 45 warior tanking you could help with backstabs, but you might want to have a healer lined up just in case.

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
5 hr camp

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

Good hunting all,

RE: boared
# Feb 10 2002 at 11:07 AM Rating: Default
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.

Spawned twice in 1 hour
# Oct 31 2001 at 8:52 PM Rating: Default
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 =(

You are one SAD pally if you rooted and ran. Try rooting and HEALING YOURSELF!! Why in the heck else do you play a paladin??

Spawn NOW!!

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 :(

#Anonymous, Posted: Oct 12 2001 at 12:55 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) tried camping hero last night and it was getting late. one try before logginf. 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 am a 37 warrior, my stats are pretty well rounde and i think i have a decent weapon....WRONG. This guy is a mean mutha, the hits hard and fast..90's the whole way. On the other hand he is hard to hit. I AM TIRED OF BEING SPANKED BY THIS GUY!!!!! 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.

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'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!

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?
RE: Died =/

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.
