Hero spawn
# Jan 17 2001 at 10:09 AM Rating: Decent
I've camped this Minotaur Hero twice for the Shackles and i'm getting pretty used to it now. I've seen many players killing everything on sight to make him spawn and I did this myself but it was useless. I made him spawn in about 20 to 25 minutes after I came each time by killing the first minotaur at the entrance of the cave.

As soon as the first mino is dead, run as fast as u can to the hill on the other side of the entrance, he spawned for me here twice, just on the left of the big wheel. The Hero begins then to wander near the wheel.

Dont want to say it's a rule but I killed Meldrath just before seeing the Hero. The first time, it was the next mino kill after Meldrath was dead and the second time, the second mino made the hero spawn. It's maybe a trigger or something but if u can handle Meldrath, give it a try.
Spawn Rate?

How often does this Hero spawn or what triggers it? Im only 15th Cleric on Torvono but I was killing Slavers for a 33 level druid who was camping the HERO and he didnt spawn for the 6 hours we hung out in the mines. Please help I have been offered 300pp for helping this guy and we have done the camping for 2 days now.

Well I dont know the rate yet it is very random I know that. I was killing skeles for xp right outside the cave and all of a sudden this thing came out of the cave and slaughtered every single newbie outside. I happened to use hide and some high lvl person came and killed it. Hed didnt loot it so I waited and looted it. Bingo shackles

Last night my partner and I Killed the Hero twice. He is a random 2-3 hour spawn. It took us 2.5 hours for him to spawn. His place holder is the slave just inside the cave, near the wheelbarrow. The slave spawns about every 2-3 minutes, but when it gets close for the Hero to spawn, it will take about 5 minutes. The Hero will spawn before the slaver is even cold, and will take off from the spawn place.

The Hero spawns up on the hill behind the tree. (Sorry forgot to check the direction from the caves) But if you stand at the cave looking out, he is at approxiamatly at the 2 oclock position)

Good luck. BE SURE to do the Steel Warriors initiation quest PRIOR to doing the beginning of the Hero quest (Or before turning in the bracer) My partner didn't know this, and had to do the Hero bracer over.

Anyone know how to get Faction with Steelwarriors up so I can complete the Hero Bracers Quest? Any monsters to kill or something like that?

Note: I have really bad faction with them already so I can't do many of the quests that raise the steelwarriors faction.

Hiya!

If you are a druid over level 29 (?) and have evac East Karana, you can do the clothspinner quest (take note from Qeynos to EK at end of bottom of ramp to HH) until you have good enough faction to do newbie Steel Warrior quest in Qeynos Arena. Then do the steel warrior initiation quest, and voila, you should get a response from "what second escaped gladiator."

I went from apprehensive to amiable in about 3 hours this way. No milk, no orcs.

Hope this helps!

THE FASTEST way to get good faction with the steel worriors:
NOTE: The Steel Warriors and the Freeport Militia (corrupt guards) are at war. So your faction will change accordingly. You have been warned

1) go to east or west commons (west Recomended). while a groop is fighting orcs tell them you want to hit each orc that they fight only once. Any small thing you do in the battle will increase your faction with Knights of Truth wich is the palidin guild in Freeport.

2)after a number of killes go to Mojax Hikspin who is West commons behind the in on the water fishing with his commpanion. He will be sitting down most of the time. Give hime 4 milk at a time (no need to hail but he will get up and walk away if you dont hail him some time). If he tells you you need to work on the ways of virtue then go kill more orcs. Otherwise you will gain faction with the Steel Worriors and take a hit on your Freeport Malitia faction. I recomend no less then 200 milk if you where indifferent. Its a long run to Qeynos even for a druid.

As you turn in more hero braciers your faction will continue to go up and down with these opposing factions. Eventualy you will have to do some other quest to gain freedom to walk in Freeport.

while there are other quests and I belive have done them all. This is by far the fastest way to increase your Steel Warrior Faction.

I camped this guy for 4 nights in a row before I finally got him to pop. I am currently a lvl 36 pally so I thought yeah, shouldn't be too hard. Boy was I wrong. He was hitting me for 90dmg a pop, and resisting all my roots so I could step back and heal. LoH was used and soon after I was dead. I had bearly got him down to half health. Mind you though I was using a GB, so next time I am on I will camp him using my Jarsath Battle Sword, see if that makes a difference. Be wary folks, he hits hard and fast.

When I was a newbie I was hunting across the field from the Mino Cavern opening. I was with my RL partner who plays a wood elf warrior, and a friend who was playing a High Elf enchanter. We were between 7 and 9 in level. A level 44 Warrior and his Druid friend were nearby, hunting the Hero. They had told us to be careful, in case he happened to spawn when they weren't looking. Well, that's pretty much the case. He took the Enchanter out in one hit, me (level 8 cleric) in two, and the warrior (who ran like all hell) in two hits within sight of the windmill. I sent a frantic tell to the 44 Warrior who was nearby; he and his Druid friend flew like a gale to the windmills where he, too was killed. The druid alone survived. Beware o folk of Steamfont! He is angry, and lethal.

hmmm - i wonder what the 44 warrior was doing?! i soloed him with my 41 monk and didnt even have to use mend. he hits fairly hard, but he ain't *that* hard. if i had a druid healing it would have just been a lot easier. maybe the warrior was hurt already or something? heh - don't try him when you are lvl 8 :-)

Hero Spawn Point

Hunted this guy for 15 hours total until he spawned.After waiting many hours with a Druid from my guild,who went LD right before Hero spawned,i saw him drop out of the sky at a spot straight out from caves and a little left of cog.I had to Kite him around after putting in a call on guild chat"HELP,DRUID IS LD"...heheh.He is very tough with alot of hit points so after some melee,heals,bow kiting and some external heals from a Guildie i was able to take him down at level 42(wood-elf Ranger).We killed all the skellies and all "A Minotaur slavers inside and outside of caves.
Same timer as Meldrath?
# Oct 28 2000 at 7:22 PM Rating: Default
Also,in the time i was there tracking for him i never noticed meldrath.Sunday about 10-20 mins before he spawned Meldrath showed up on track.Meldrath was not hunted the entire time i was there.
RE: Same timer as Meldrath?
# Oct 30 2000 at 10:45 AM Rating: Default
Meldrath is on a 20 minute timer. The Mino Slaver ph is on a 6 minute timer. The Mino Hero is on a random timer. I have camped him several times first for friends, now for myself. Killing meldrath doesn't work. Killing skellies doesn't work. Singing a song and dancing doesn't work. You camp, you killed the ph, you hope when he pops you don't get KS'd (as I did my last time).

ARE THE SHACKLES NO DROP?

RE: SHACKLES

The shackles are a magic item, they are not no drop or lore.. so you can have and sell as many as you like or do the quest with.
RE: SHACKLES
# Jun 23 2001 at 6:45 PM Rating: Default
The shackles dropped by the mino hero are definitely LORE and NODROP.... the Hero Bracers that you turn them in for are only LORE

How to get to spawn.
# Oct 19 2000 at 4:27 AM Rating: Default
Ok I just got off a 5 hour camp on this guy. We tried every method posted here and gone one spawn about half hour after we got there. Only thing that causes him to spawn is time.

How I got mino hero to pop:
# Oct 02 2000 at 5:11 PM Rating: Default
I took the "a minotaur slaver" spawn just inside the cave, (NOT "minotaur slaver") and I pulled him out quite far by the trees and THEN killed him, did this three times in a row, and the hero spawned INSTANTLY two of the times, on the hill on the opposite side of the cave.
the REAL way to make the hero spawn
# Oct 01 2000 at 8:01 PM Rating: Default
It is ver easy, especially with those ppl who have root and DoTs. Pull the mino who spawn near the entrance OUT of the caves. Then root him outside, somewaht far from the caves. And kill him. One good DoT should do fine, then sit down and wait. This method works rather well, he SHOULD spawn withing an hour, i had 3 spawns in a 4 or 5 hour period (me and my friends were getting bracers).

Its easy to get the Hero to spawn. Simply ask me to come to Steamfont. I walk into the Cave and he spawns in front of me and kills me in 2 seconds. Not random at all. Happens everytime. Tell me and I'll come for 10pp.

What level?

What level would a paladin have to be to melee this guy to death? I have a ranger friend that kills him a lot, but she usually kites it with arrows. No such luck for me.

Could a level 37 bard with some nice ykeshas slaughter the mino with the shackles (whoever he may be) easily?
Also, do i have to do that boring nomala quest with the key? or can i use my faction song to bump up the steel warriors and skip it?
RE: That stupid Hero.
# Sep 11 2000 at 10:11 AM Rating: Default
you can take him down with fufil's curtailing chant and 2 yaks and stuff , cakewalk . just run around with him and if you get whacked on too hard charm the punk and rest up , hehehe , you bards are so lucky , hahaha =) . you'll be fine man , just getting him to pop will be harder than killing him .

with Nomala , if you complete that part of the quest and you return the shackle from nomala and he gives yyou the second part of the quest , your faction is good enough , but , read on to the next paragraph :

to get EASY faction with the steel warriors, all it takes is milk :) . There is a NPC in West Commons near the lake ( name slips me , but , it's a silly name ) whereas , if you hand him 4 bottles of milk , you get steel warrior faction , but ,lose a little freeport militia faction . Bah , Filthy Dogs the Militia Are , they don't deserve my faction anyway . hahaha

They nerfed milk and no you don't need to do the first part, I went from apprehensive to getting the quest using the bard song cinda's charasmatic carrilion. Just use song then say, 'what second escaped gladiator' and voila he gives you the quest. As for what level, wait till 28 and use chains/fear to kill the sucker and if you get beat down because of resists then grab the drum and run in circles twisting selo's/hymm/brosco's for a bit then chain him and jump back in with fear/chains. No bard should ever disgrace themselves by trying the catman quest, it's a waste of time.

He spawns on a randomly but on a triger
I have slayed him many a time and heres how I get him to spawn, kill the slavers then hope, he might spawn and might not! repeat until he does!
I like to kill every other mino and give the axes to newbies who come. I have personaly gotten and sold 32 Hero Bracers and let me tell you it sucks when the 37K in the bank you have can't buy a thing cause you have all the Fear and some of the sky monk armor!
SPAWNS AT TREE
# Jul 23 2000 at 1:41 AM Rating: Decent
He always spawns at the tree, occaisonally he'll poof from that spot and appear seconds later at the cave entrance. 90% he will just stay at the tree then quickly run to the gear

for the guy who wonted to know if he spawned inside or out side its both trust me ive seen it ...... and if u kill the single spawn at the entrance of the cave so many times he will spawn

Hero spawned twice for me tonight...
# Jul 11 2000 at 5:53 AM Rating: Decent
Everything Eanaddare said above is correct... Couldn't have said it better myself. I like to pull that first Mino Slaver back to the tree personally so the Hero can see his dead friend on the floor. He spawned twice tonight for my friend and I in about 3 hrs time. The day before he spawned once in 7-8 hrs time. This guy is so random it's sick. Prepare yourself for a long EPless camp.

i got killed by one of these things when i was killing earth elemental's i was wondering what was in the cave then it said you have been slain by a minotaur hero so leave the cave to the higher people
Experience from a Paladin that killed he
# Jul 10 2000 at 9:27 AM Rating: Decent
First thing, hero doesn't spawn in front of cave. It spawns at the tree opposite the cave, far from it.
Second, hero IS TRIGGERED by killing the FIRST mino slaver once you enter the cave. Be warned however if a slaver is outside the cave, hero won't spawn.
Thirdly, hero can spawn at day or night, the rumors about hero is a day time spawn is BS.
Finally, HERO is RANDOM, the camping time of him could be 30min to 6hr, so get used to that boring camp and STOP YELLING here.
Thank you

# Jul 07 2000 at 3:10 AM Rating: Default
basically there IS a trigger for his spawn i dont know what it is but there is and it DOES have to do with the cave is all i know...the skellys i believe have little or none(most likely none) to do with him but yes supposedly you have to pull something somewhere to make him spawn...also be careful i think he despawns in front of the cave?...whatever good luck
Korthek is right
# Jun 18 2000 at 8:41 AM Rating: Decent
I've farmed him a fair bit lately (4 shackles over weekend) and while I like to keep the skellies clear its the mino just inside the cave entrance that triggers his spawn. I still believe the skellies are involved but as I've never popped the hero with the skellies around I can't say for certain :)

# Jun 02 2000 at 12:38 PM Rating: Decent
IGNORE EVERY POST YOU JUST READ with the exception of Scrab's post. I have done the hero bracer quest 23 times. To make the hero spawn, simply pull the first slaver at the entrance to the cave OUTSIDE and kill it .. this will rarely make him spawn .. INSTANTLY on death of the slaver the hero will spawn on the opposite side of the field of the cave near the large gear.
