Venril Sathir  

Raid Encounter

In the Tower of Frozen Shadow: Part of the fifth encounter within the Tower of Frozen Shadow anniversary raid (see this quest entry for raid information).

In Karnor's Castle:

The Main items in his loot table are the Leggings for the various Kunark Class specific armor, as well as a line of two handed blunt staves for casters.

  • Mesmerizable: No

Background: Venril Sathir was the leader of the Iksar Empire who united the five tribes and brought them together to conquer most of the continent of Kunark.

Their rising power eventually attracted the attention of the Lords of the Ring of Scale (read: the Dragons of Veeshan's Peak). It was the mighty Trakanon who took it upon himself to wreak war upon the Iksar Empire, casting down this Necromancer leader.

Venril Sathir managed to cheat death somehow and now focuses on regaining the Iksar throne from his stronghold in Karnor's Castle.

Just wanted to drop a line. Took this dude down again for a second time with 62sk, 54clr, 61,62 and 58 rangers and 63 wizzy. Healed sk twice. Got stunned once. I (61 ranger) got hit maybe three times never droped below 90%.
He droped two green stones, iskar bones and a rune. This was done for my ranger 1.0 epic. Good luck to all.

I did this guy (VSR spawnable version) at 66 with a 62 Shaman. Let CoB tank while shaman pet DPS. Stack on DoTs and both heal CoB until VS dies. Necro slow works fine. He was actually pretty easy and we ended up doing him twice in one week. Congrats to Kadijah on Bertoxxulous for getting the Iksar Shaman Epic. Both times the stones for the Ranger / Druid epic rotted, I guess nobody needs them anymore. He's not too hard, just make sure you buff MR and grab a split paw thing from South Karana if you don't have a ranger / druid around.

If you are on Bertoxxulous server and need your epic peice, send me a tell. I'll hook you up...for a reasonable fee of course.

I cant seem to get the picture of this guy and the spell to work. Is it me? cause I would like to know what he looks like in case I run into him unexpected. :))

shm 70 soloed for a druid for his epic would say its an overkill :s

Duo'd him with my 68 Paladin and a 67 Bard. 3 Slay Undead Procs and he was dead :P

I'm looking to kill VS but he is never up it's always VSR, so I was wondering what his spawn time is? I just need that last staff for my epic, so grr. The dang guy needs to pop.
RE: Spawn Time
# Mar 09 2005 at 2:04 PM Rating: Decent
VS pops like 24 hours or something after VSr is killed. Not sure on the time, but it's probably posted in here somewhere.

Venril Sathir's Mezz is his AE mezz/stun. Lasts for like 20 seconds or so. Can be avoided by standing around the top but the tank needs good aggro.

We killed him after a few attempts trying to figure out what it was.
New VS

He has an AE mezz/stun now. lasts for quite a while. Not fun anymore.
No change
# Mar 06 2005 at 11:03 PM Rating: Decent
Just killed him, no change at all. Took about 2 min. Paci him pull 2 adds HoT on tank and he was gone.

Today just a while ago, my group wiped out on this mob unusually easy. Some of the people in the group have dropped him before, including my brother who once soloed with his 60 SK when 60 was max level. heck a group of 4 wizzy have dropped him before. No tank or anything, just wizzys.

But for some reason he had near 100% resist on every nukes and dots we threw at him and he never went below 30%. 2x lvl 70 cleric went OOM and the tanks started dropping like flies and his hp went back to 100% in just a few seconds. I had to chain summon my pet to keep him away and ended up camping out.

The group all agreed this mob was unusually hard and ressitive and we think SoE broke him when DoN went live a few weeks ago.

If you want to take on him, yoiu will need LOTS of dps and several clerics for chain healing. /bugged it

I was just trying to kill him on The Rathe.
68 Pally, 70 shammy, 67 cleric.
Other than Malos (unresistable), he resisted every spell cast. Malosinia, every dot (poison, disease, magic), mostly resisted ever nuke (would either completely resist, or land for a couple hundred). I fought him for about 20 minutes and never got him below 94% (which went back to 100% in about 6 seconds).
I tried moving him around thinking that perhaps his regen was insane unless he was in his room or something. Fought him in his room, the hallway, and the main big room before his - no difference.
He also procced his lifetap CONSTANTLY. I used my max resist veteran reward just to avoid it because he was taking me down just with that (that was with resists around 200).
Anyone that is trying to take him down nowadays without some serious dps - good luck. They must have given him the max stats/resists veteran reward also :)

Ok - more information after taking him down a few days later.
First - the spawned version is a lightweight compared to the normal VS.
The normal VS is very resistant, procs the lifetap almost constantly and regens absurdly.
Here's what we did:
I used my veteran reward Infusion of the Faithful to get my resists to 500+. That nullified his lifetap. My shammy cast malos on him and we found that fire-based spells work well - the rest are generally resisted. Took him down fairly quickly with a mage casting fire-nukes.

Killed him last night on Xegony. Had 7 people.
66 Paladin(Me) was the tank. I only dropped to 61% health. Never needed a heal. The rest of the group consisted of 66 druid, 65 Druid, 65 Mage, 67 Ranger(EP) 70 Ranger(EP possibly time),
55 monk to pull.

I chain cast stun and pushed into the SE wall. I know the 66 Druid was unable to land any DOTS or Nukes. The whole fight lasted about 30 Seconds.

Looted the Shaman Pants and an Enchanter only Tash stick. Had the no drop wiz piece on him too.

This post frightens me. I need to take him down for the wizard epic as soon as I can find him up and we have nothing near that force. Is it possible something else was wrong? Only things that come to mind are A) He was getting healed by the mobs in the rooms around. B) You actually tried to kill Venril Sathir's Remains, which is a quest NPC...

Man, I know I'm reaching, but I don't want to hear that another epic 1.0 fight just became impossible. We're already stuck on the Fear fights because people spawn the Zerker mob at the zone in.
not bugged

Just killed him ON Bristlebane. Duo'd a 68 Beastlord and 66 enchanter. I cast rune on Beastlord 5 times, VS died fast with Beastrial fury disc. Beast took no damage with rune.

Wizzy's Manaburned him in the past.
Trivial Kill
# Jan 25 2005 at 11:05 AM Rating: Decent
Just did him a few weeks ago with about 15 or so average lvl of 60(?). We had a low turn out of healers, so we had our chanters keep a chain rune on the main tank. Fight was trivial, he didnt lifetap through the rune once. Dropped a few quest items and the paladin greaves. Easy a one groupable thing, i would never bring more next time (1cleric, 1 druid, 1 chanter, 1 warrior/sk (needed a sk to pull, why not have him tank?, 2 dps).

Next day about 15 hours later i went back for his remains. Solod by a 70 time/GoD geared warrior just about, dont think he took a single heal. Once again he dropped in 15 seconds. This group was 70 War, 70 BST, 62 RNG, 55 DRU.

Not sure what he hits for, but keep a rune up on your MT and he will burn fast, be dead in about 30 seconds. For VS, our tank was 7k buffed, and didnt drop below 50. Hope this helps all you other rangers working epics, and thinking this is a hard part.

how many HPs this guy have...and how much damage he do....can it be done by fiarly good equiped 65 druid 61 mage and 61 chanter



....i now consider myself very lucky...heres how it goes and why im lucky........while reading through allas on how to do druid epic i had teh softly glowing stone already. Well i misread it seems which was totally my fault and turned in the softly glowing stone with out the gem from VS. Come to find out i think someone else turned in gem from VS cause i gave softly glowing stone to foloal in FV and she gave me the warmly stone back...and taDAA i got to skip this part of epic =D

I've killed him 3 times recently, and all 3 times he's had the Gnarled staff. I've gotten a pair of Tolan's, Elder Spiritist's, and Singing Steel greaves. He DOES cast Sathir's mesmirization, and it's a pain to deal with because he regens back up while you're mezzed. We've done it with 3, Druid, Bard, and Beastlord.

# Dec 08 2004 at 2:46 AM Rating: Default
question, am thinking that 2 tanks, 2 healers at least one nuker could do it. any suggestions? how hard is venril actually? what other class should I add? would a slower or mezzer be better? or is what I listed should be enough?

Went in with about 7 toons. War, necro, couple of clerics, and a wiz were all lvl 59ish. Myself being 54 ranger and a 48 druid. First attempt the clerics wern't quick enough to get heals in. Second attempt went much better.
I jolted him and war kept argo. So clerics chain healed and necro nuked. Took about min and half and he went down with all alive. Looted my stone and druid grabbed the other. Was also another item but forget what it was. Some other quest item though.

I solo in KC alot and have seen many a group fail this mob fight... Be organized if your not a mid 60's group. Focus argo on one toon and bash away. Not really a raid event if done correctly. Good luck.

Easy kill. Had a 68 chanter tanking him. Chain runed himself, no lifetaps got off, chanter was at like 98% at the end of the fight. Hardest part is his insane regen. Got my epic piece, plan on going back for more. Key to the fight is DPS, and runes to absorb lifetaps. 16 people I believe, it was overkill.
Epic VS Duo'd
# Oct 06 2004 at 6:40 AM Rating: Decent
Fun fight to duo the epic VS with elemental geared ranger and wizzy, both level 70. Didn't have logging on so cannot confirm the 400dd w/ stun component, but he landed a 400's spell that stunned me briefly (had spellshield up so i figured it was a lifetap), and 2 lifetaps for 1125, was only real damage he did melee was nothing to be worried about. Fight lasted under a minute

Sathir's Mesmerization
# Sep 30 2004 at 3:52 PM Rating: Decent
I have read most of the posts on VS and no where does it mention his 30 second stun spell, Sathir's Mesmerization (other than just above his "known loot" list). Is this stun spell of his new with OoW? How does this PB AOE work? Will it hit everyone in radius (in front, on side and in back of him)? How might this "new" stun spell change any tactics on bringing this iksar necro down?

My guild just did VS today. There was no PB Stun effect. He acted just as he always has all these years.

I attempted to solo VS on my cleric. I can say that he used some sort of a stun/mez on me... It didn't have a buff icon, and whats worse is that he could attack me without breaking it. It took a bit for him to kill me, but he ate 7.5khp before the stun wore off.

After I respawned I scrolled up and it said
You have been mezmerised -- You have taken 400 points of damage!
