In Beholder's Maze, the Gorge of King Xorbb: King Xorbb does indeed exist, albeit rarely and only briefly. He is rumoured to be found at the Altar where his lords Sviir and Syrkl can be found --though many believe this rumor to be false in that sightings of him being a roaming NPC are more typically reported in the last 10 years. His Slime Crystal Staff is possibly used as part of a quest which exists in Najena (is used to make the Blued Two-handed hammer). The Orb, Sphere, and Circle fitting names for things as round as eyes...

  • This mob spawns at 685 -216 This is between where brewall marks Spinflint and Yymp.

In the Valley of King Xorbb: King Xorbb is the main encounter in the event "The Return of King Xorbb" (see this quest entry for the group version and this quest entry for the raid version).

He is a giant version of an evil eye, and has 500hp or less, as I nuked him twice for 250 pts of damage and killed him. He was light blue to me at 35, and charmed me, even though I had a magic resist of 64 at the time.

not just bg2 ad&d

beholders each have one spell attached to each eye stalk and that spell can be released every few rounds. the beholder is a being to be feard because it has an initiative that cant be surpassed easily, because it can see in all directions and cast as many spells as it has eye stalks. there is alot more to beholders than this but its just a start. in bg2 the beholder is a watered down version compared to the one on the original game, but they do give you an idea of the challenge. (get that cloak that reflects spells on one or your main tank and he can pound them to mush)

King popped tonight for me about 15 minutes before the patch. Spawned in place of one of the MoBs that usually circle the throne (ie muddites & minos). Been hunting here for about ten levels now... first exp then money ... first time I have seen him up. Dropped the staff, ivory and a little coin.

I (45 SK) was comming out of Runnyeye into the gorge and a Guildie (Ranger) was in the zone. He told me "King Xorbb is up!" I ran around looking for him for a bit (first tinking he would be where the other eyes are) and finally ran into him down the main chasm (Going straight from EK, and the second right from Runnyeye). He was just wondering around like he owned the place (lol). I didn't get the loc of where i saw him but i did pick up the Slime Crystal Staff and some orb that gives +5 HP that goes in PRI/SEC...The staff was neat so i kept it and gave it to a level 4 wiz in the guild, it procs Sicken and is 5/26 (or 28?) He said it proced for him so i assume it will always proc. The staff can also be used to get a DRU only 2hb that procs Root. But you have to turn in some wicked Belt that drops in RM and this staff to get it...not worth the trouble. And...um, ... ya that's it.

The Staff is used in a "broken" quest. There are 4 Staves, which you give to the Visiting Priestess in Najena. It makes someone spawn (somewhere) in Neriak, which despawns immediately. That is why the quest is "believed" to be broken.

In any cases, the quest seem to be aimed at mages.
Tell you wizard friend never to destroy the staff :)
Its not like the King spawns very often :/

The broken quest is believed to be the Blued 2 handed hammer quest using the visiting priestess in najena and a smith and librarian in Neriak.

#Anonymous, Posted: Aug 31 2001 at 8:09 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) After 2 years I finally figured this out, hes a rare spawn of the wandering eye. The wandering eye wont spawn unless the 2 (3) eyes at the alter are left alone for awhile. He then wanders the gorge for awhile. So to spawn him, convince all 2000 people to NOT attack the alter eyes. BTW, Im well past the "blue hammer" end point for the quest, know what to do with the goblin skin. Havnt quite got to the end, messed up my last attempt.

Don't work that way sorry. I a 40 ranger have camped those to EE's non-stop for up to 6 hours at a time and had the wandering eye or eyes, yes actually had two of them pop one night both up at same time, while keeping the two normal ones dead hehe. leaving them alone might increase the rate at which the wanderer spawns though.

I have camped evil eyes before for the polished bone bracers and have seen many an eye laid to waste but not until today did I run into the king. He spawned in place of one of the roaming muddites/minos that circle the static eye spawn points in the gorge (about 5 minutes after Lord Soptyvr spawned no less!) He had around 1k hp, was blue at 34 and attempted to cast a fear on me before I nuked him down, he also landed some DD spells for about 100 damage each but I can't recall offhand what they were. Dropped the slime crystal staff and a quartz crystal.
#Anonymous, Posted: Aug 02 2001 at 8:06 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I got the ring it has same stats as Pbb and its no drop i wanted the staff but got the ring , just ran in to him 1 day. lucky i guess.

Has a guild raid in Gorge tonight, around 9:00pm , 22 ranger screamed she had been killed by King Xorbb. In all my months of passing thru or camping eyes, this was first time ever heard of him pop. Ported into misty, ran thru runnyeye and tracked the King down. Green to 46. No pet, from spells he threw at me think he's a wizzy like the EE in Lower Guk. One calefaction (445pts.) and couple smacks with mstar and he went down. Got the Slime Crystal Staff.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 16 2001 at 10:27 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Every time i am in South Karana i run into King Xorbb. He wanders around quite a bit. Does anyone know what he is doing in SK?
New faction info

Apparently now when you kill goblins in BB you gain faction with King Xorbb. Not sure if this is supposed to happen or not but it is

This happened with the revamp of Runnyeye. Apparently King Xorbb was Runnyeye's leader, but was deposed by the invading Pickclaw goblins with help of Runnyeye goblins not pleased with his rule. King Xorbb was exiled to Beholder's Maze (now renamed Gorge of King Xorbb) and most of the evil eyes left in Runnyeye were taken prisoner. Runnyeye is now renamed the Liberated Citadel of Runnyeye, and is back under goblin control and rule. Killing Picklaw and some Runnyeye goblins will raise king Xorbb faction now, and killing evil eyes in Beholder's Maze and Runnyeye will increase Picklaw and Runnyeye faction.

I have been playing since Beta 3 years ago. King Xorrb has always been in the Gorge and it has always been named Gorge of King Xorrb. Only pc's have resulted in it being affectionately called Beholder Maze. He was never ruler of RE nor did he ever spawn there.

#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 04 2001 at 4:52 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I saw him awhile back( at lvl 18 I think) face to face. I was was running from the ek zone to runny and he turned from the first right corner when you enter the zone from EK. Thank goodness I had sow and high tailed it the other way. To bad my groupsay of RUN!!!!!!!!!!! was a bit lagged out so the rest of my party didn't get the warning. They told me it killed al but one of the rest of the group in about 10 seconds, that one making through the zone with about 10 hp on him. I've tracked it 5 times since when I enter the zone, but I still refuse to engage it till it turns green on track.(last time I tracked it was 2 lvls ago at 32). Figuring him, like other eyes, as a serious undercon.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 03 2001 at 8:23 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Xorbb's old level may have been 25, but I'll bet that was a miscon. Let's think about this. We're talking about a rare spawn mob that not only has an entire zone named for him, but also is his own faction now. I'll bet that he'll start appearing a little more often now, what with the changes in Runnyeye...and I also bet that he'll be a bit more powerful than level 25.

I got him 23 April 2002 and he was green to me at 44, probably still level 25.
#Anonymous, Posted: May 27 2001 at 11:01 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) He does exist I have seen him and fought him along with a couple others we were not grouped and I was charmed and hurt pretty badly. I escaped however never saw him die though.

Ok, I've seen nearly every rare mob in the game. I've seen quillmane, that goblin in the cauldron, I've even seen that retarded gnome necro Pyzjin in qeynos hills (after about 14hrs straight). I have been in the maze killing evil eyes and camping the polished bone bracers about 200 total hours. I've seen lord soptvyr SEVERAL times but i've never seen Xorbb. NEVER in all the COUNTLESS hours i've been here did i see him. I think his spawn is broken. If you see him any time soon post on here please. thanks.

Shulgarth, it's a big eye with an enchanter pet following him around.

I saw this big bad eye before, i was a lvl 17 warrior at the time and i was with a group of guys. We were hunting minotaurs, and as a memeber was coming back with a mino to the entrance of Runnyeye where we were camping, some higher lvl came running to the zone with him following behind him. It attacked us and I,being the tank, i attacked it till my group zoned, then i ran like a little sissy. It attacks by like blinking and a little lightning bolt or something comes out and hits you, i can't rememner how much it hurt, but it hurt, it's pet it much easier and drops animated swords.
