The correct info for Xalgoz is he has a 30 minute respawn time. He's a dark blue con to a lvl 47, but seems to be a bit of an undercon. Has a ton of HP, doesn't hit that hard though. He also counts as undead, so once slowed he's very easy to kill. He has a place holder that spawned twice out of the three hours I'd killed him. He dropped a fang every time he spawned, sometimes two fangs, and the necklace for the shaman quest. He dropped the sword once, and nothing else the whole time. And watch out for mobs near him, they're all very very agressive. Hope that helps =).

Didn't see anyone mention this, but he spawns on the main floor of the church (not down the stairs behind the altar). He (or ph) is in the middle of the 'stage' area, and takes longer to respawn than the rest of the stuff on that floor.

Went with 55 wiz, 50 mage, 56 cleric and it was some pretty sad overkill. Wiz just agro'd stuff and did PB-AE to slaughter everything, cleric healed every once in a great while, and mage pet slaughtered stuff easily as well. *shrug* Invis was useless for the first part of the zone as it seemed nearly every green spider saw through it and attacked.

ok, first of all you're either lying out yer **** or you left out alot of info.
First of all, i doubt a level 46 warrior could get down to xalgoz alone and clear the camp and kill him, unless you had really good resist gear he would have probably raped you with spells, secondly i'm not doubting that he can drop 3 fangs, but out of over 20-30 kills, i've never seen it, if you had a group this might have been possible for ya, the camp isnt hard to get to with a good group of 40+ with a chanter (adds can be plentiful here) but i just really doubt that a 46 warrior made it down there alone, unless maybe you are a twink with a fungi for down time and a helluva lot of great gear for your level /sigh

Easy solo
# Mar 11 2003 at 4:21 PM Rating: Good
Easy solo at 54 for a necro. BTW, I went there three times (I guess each time i was bored and figured I might as well go kill Xalgoz). Each time I got there he was already up. Never waited for him to respawn. Each time he dropped two fangs and necklace.
My technique... I walk in and kill everything. Not much finess I guess... but the necro 49 pet can pretty much tank 4 of those guardians/minions at the same time. I have Screaming Terror (for adds) and Shackle up all the time, did not cast anything else (maybe a lifetap here and there).
With Shackle on Xalgoz, my pet beat him down without any other spell of mine being needed and still had 75% hps.

Yeah, he was easy for me too at 52. The hardest part was the wait. I spent about an hour in the church one night and never saw him. Popped in the next day and a group had just killed him. So I killed everything else in the church waiting for him and he spawned again. He spawns behind the pulpit of the church. I guess he's a preacher! I pulled him with Turgur's, threw in an E-bolt and a Plague, and then JBB'd him to death. I didn't even have the services of my pet, he was fighting a Minion or a Guardian, who popped on me when I was pulling. Xalgoz hit like a girl. I think he was at 30% life before he even touched me. He dropped two fangs and the necklace and I Gated the Hell out of Dodge.

Xalgoz

Went to Kaesora with a level 47 bard, 46 shaman, 46 enchanter, and a 45 druid.

To get to Xalgoz and the Church area, go straight in from zone in; there will be a drop off, highly recommend levitate for this so you don't miss the passage in front of you as you go down. Passage you want is about halfway down and in front of you. If you don't have levitate, not sure if you'll drop like a rock, or if you are running you can land on the edge of the opening. Continue going straight to the room with the broken floor. Go over edge and down(you probably still have levitate on). Follow the passage to the right and slightly behind. (There will be a few spiders around here) From here, keep to your left and it'll take you all the way to the Church area.

There are three areas to pull from in the church area, the church itself (10-11 mobs), building across from the church(6-7), and the inside of a tower(4). There are also 2, maybe 3 wanderers, one is the skeletal warder and 2 that spawn on the patio platform in front of the church. So that's about 24-27 mobs total. There is a ramp behind the pulpit that goes down to the basement in the church and also a ramp in the building across from the church that goes up to a second level.

Our Bard used 4 dot songs, while the druid rooted and the shaman and enchanter blasted as mana allowed. Never had to heal, except with Chloroplast. Spawn rate in the church area is very quick, estimate about 15-20min per round. Xalgoz placeholder a bit longer than that, maybe 30-45min? Never did see Xalgoz though. Must be a rare spawn? Am assuming he spawns in the spot behind the pulpit in the church as the placeholder there took longer to spawn than everything else.

Spent most of our time up on the patio platform in front of church, moving down off to the side when those mobs were ready to spawn. Got into trouble once there because we didn't move off and within a couple of minutes, the two guards at the doorway spawned along with the two on the patio platform and they ended up pulling the two from the building across from the church that spawn just inside. Well, the shaman died while we lesser succorred the rest of us. Was looking for a way to get the corpse dragged to zone(some of the spiders see invis) when a high level ranger offered to drag it to zone for us. Then we just went right back in there to fight some more; we all got a level out of it, so even with light blue and blue mobs, exp is steady.

Does seem that Xalgoz is a rare spawn though; spent at least 2hrs straight there and didn't see him once.

Just been spending some time in Kaesora in the last few days and decide to go check the room out ... went there with wife druid (same lvl) and pulled / killed the whole church for 2 hours to check spawns ands stuff ... no Xalgoz ...

Then next day poped in there alone to try solo the room ... after 2 try to get him out of there ... (the middle of the church) got my rear end wooped had to gate to zoneline :( ...
3rd time went behind the "C" shape little room to the left of the church and pull the whole place there ....

First the two guard at entrance of church, (STUN one or root) the other one will come then stick pet and DD vs Undead. then second come down, just leach and slow ... leave pet get low in hp and med.

Then pull the two others on the kind of little bridge starting with cloest one. Make sure Pet is Full HP before each set of mobs ...

Now pull the room in "C" shape ... YES clear it !
They will come when Xalgoz dude come out and DD the *** out of ya ....
To do that go close to stair by the little bridge thing and target one and pull with like leach (low taunt) and run back behind the "C" shape room. Reapete t'ill 3 of em are dead ...
NOW the BIG room ... by this time you have to refresh Augment death and CoB .... and make sure you checked the path leading to church for some skelly warder (No fun if Xalgoz is 10hp and get healed) ...
then ... leave pet in back of "C" room and go close to bridge and go slowly up the stairs till you see the closest to Xalgoz and STUN that guard ... Xalgoz will cast on ya and come ...
Keep hitting /PET BACK OFF ... like 10 time ... and run behing the "C" building ... pet should have moved a little closer ....
Then when he's in the OPEN ... stick pet on him ...... then if any adds (more likely just one) STUN then /PET FOLLOW then /PET BACK /PET BACK till Xalgoz is on ya ... or behind the "C" room then FD .... 2 time .....
Don't DD vs UNDEAD yet just DOT with Broil blood and Eternities Torment then Try to SLOW him (he's got high MR) by that time PET is almost DEAD .... DO NOT heal him ... just Life tap, LIFE TAP .... LIFE TAP ....

I did it and it worked fine ... had 40m left and was half HP ... (only have 930) all that with ONLY MY buffs ... no one else stuff....
Pet had Augment death, Spirit armor, Storm strengh (from frost beard item 10pp in bazaar fer 5 show and sell back empty to vendor fer 12pp)

Droped two dagers and the shammy quest neck :( ... no fear stick fer me ....... YET ! Mouhahahah

That's it people ... hope this help .... and Good luck ....

# Sep 20 2002 at 10:29 AM Rating: Decent
As a level 53 magician, this dungeon is little more than fodder. Nice coin, even some blue mobs, but the place might as well be filled with seafury cyclops'. The mobs hit slow, hit like girls, and they leech right onto the pet. My pet tanked Xalgoz, and about two other mobs, and all I did was hit him with Transon's Infusion every now and again. With KEI I came out of the xalgoz fight with more Mana than I went in with. It doesn't require a novel, just the RIGHT class.

Umm, he was level 46 and you were 53, so class had nothing to do with it. A level 60 fishing grub could also take out this zone.

Dropped a pair of fangs for us. Very easy too, me 39 cleric at the time and a low 50's sk easily ran down there and took him and his friends out. One of his buddies dropped a 25% wr bag for me too.

I petitioned a GM aftre killing xalgoz 43 times in a row without a drop. He said it was still in his loot table so yes. Im still killing xalgoz. Longest most boring camp in yer life but can't stop now...

he spawns not all that often so i seriously doubt you killed him 43 times.

Staff still dropping as of May 2002?
# May 16 2002 at 5:58 PM Rating: Decent
Can anyone confirm this is still a drop off Xalgoz as of May, 2002? I have been camping this with a Necromancer since she dinged 53. I only kill Xalgoz, or the PH and only Xalgoz is blue at 53. I am now less than 4 blues from 54 so it gives you some idea how many times I have killed Xalgoz over the past month. I understand the staff is rare but I'm starting to wonder if possibly the drop has been removed or if possbly the addition of the necklace for the shaman quest has goofed up the staff drop

Shrunken Iksar skull necklace
# Mar 30 2002 at 3:53 AM Rating: Default

Myself and three other mid 40's took him down the other day and he turned up this necklace. A post below says it is for a new quest in FoB. Any ideas who the npc is or what the reward is??
RE: Shrunken Iksar skull necklace
# Jun 07 2002 at 6:15 PM Rating: Default
The 7th and 8th Shaman cudgel quests are now operational, and the necklace is for either the 7th or 8th quest. After doing EVERY quest, the reward for the 8th is this:

Skyiron Cudgel of the Ancients
MAGIC, LORE, NO DROP
Slot: Range, Primary
Skill: 1hb Delay: 22
Damage: 14
STA+10, WIS+15, INT+10, HP+50, MANA+75, SvD+15, SvP+10

Zlandicar's Heart does no damage and is therefore not a weapon.

I agree, best necro item out there. I have mine and have soloed quite a few lvl 51-53 summoning mobs with it. Not saying it was easy, died a few times too. Have to keep Invoke Fear memmed for backup and hope you can get it to stick in three attempts, those 3 second fears are lovely. The free fear for xp kiting is nice too, saves usually 300 mana per mob.

Killed him twice yesterday with my group on A-B server. It was complete overkill with a 40 shaman, 46 Necro, 46 Monk, and a 45 druid. We took him and 2 adds w/no problem. Both times he dropped 2 fangs and a shrunken iksar skull necklace. Anyone have any idea what that is for?
