corrupted seafury cyclops  

OK. The easiest way to get this guy to spawn is to go to the south west beach kill only the seafury cyclops there. When quag spawns leave him alone and kill only the ones on the beach, nowhere else on the island. Do not kill quag or he will probably keep respawning instead of the tainted. This will work if you are sure to kill them as they spawn. The only thing is, is that this could take anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours. This, I have found is the best formula to get them to spawn in a timely fashion. Good luck.

I am doing the epic for my Level 62 DRU with tank merc.

I used the boat from BB - TL will not port to OOT. The boat takes you to OOT but not the cyclops island so I got off at the first stop, SOE and ran to the stone ring at +1600,-3200 (eqatlas loc is wrong after revamp). I bound at the stone ring and just kept coming back for a few hours when I felt like it. Took three visits of about two hours each. On my last visit, I killed quag by mistake and and tainted popped after ten minutes. Corrupt popped on beach straight away (LB at level 62) three nukes and I had my epic piece. I decided to stay for some loot and an ancient popped within five minutes, followed by another tainted ten minutes later - all without quag up. So, here are my thoughts:


When the cyclops pop, a random check is made to see if it will be an ordinary cyclops, quag, ancient, or a tainted.

Leaving quag up will adjust the roll slightly in favor of tainted, so leaving him up is probably best but no worries if you kill him by mistake, I got two tainted after killing him.

Tainted poping is just a matter of time, like betting a number at roulette, it may take 2 spins or 200.

You do NOT need to clear the isand or kill any other mobs - just seafury cyclops.

Bind and stay on the south beach and hunt cyclops till tainted pops. Kill it and then kill the corrupted.

The loot here is ok too, with cash, jewelry and armour drops, I made at least 1k per hour.

I took my 80 cleric cause after 5 days at 6 to 8 hours a pop I could not kill enough to clear the island properly before the respawned. I guess its designed for a full group of 50s. I tried every godamn diffrent thing with Quag etc with my 55 druid.


TAKE A 80 LEVEL TOON AND MASSACRE THE WHOLE ISLAND

10 to 15 minutes later Tainted will spawn

DO it this way Kill everything I even kileld Gornt the pirates even the cute lil lesser spirt that spawns after yea kill some lil gnome capt.

At this day and age to have to "cheat " and use a 80 level toon is GD BS.

The goofy spawn drop rate need increaseing casue you are jsut not going to find peopel willing to camp these mobs with you on an alt. Unless they a good buddy.

been quadin the cyclops for roughly 5 hours today, on top of countless other times quadin them and have yet to see him. he just flat out doesnt exist!

Has anyone seen the Tainted/Corrupted Seafury Giant spawn since the revamp of OOT? I've been killing seafuries (all over the new island) there for 2 days now and haven't seen a single Tainted spawn. It's getting rediculous IMO.

I have killed over one thousand seafury cyclops in the last few day, and no luck getting this guy to pop. Anyone else having the same problems?

So 69 may be overkill. I just tore this guy apart. (DoN GM geared, 270 AA).

Wasp Swarm, Swarming Death, Winged Death, and Immolation of the Sun. Had just my 69 (and below) buffs up. Used SotW and Nature's Boon after I dotted him and tossed in an unneeded nuke. Died in about 30 sec.

Made about 2k platnium in loot in the 3 hours I was killing PHer's

I must've done this mob a dozen times; easy quad kites then solo for a druid of 60 or higher.

Trying to help my son get his Leaf-blower since Christmas and the zone is an utter mess (on Tarew Marr server at least).

Snares and Dots land a good 3-4 seconds after the cast finishes, and the mobs keep popping back 50 feet. It's impossible to take down the PH mobs, let alone poop the tainted/corrupted. Sony haven't responded to any in-game or email complaints.

That means I was so lucky - I killed only about 10 seafury cyklops and tainted spawned. He was also quite easy to kill (I am druid lvl 60). But when Corrupted spawned after tainted he was bad. My DoTs landed and even took some HP off him but then he started to summon and bit me, the only goal for me was to run away off his summon range (he constantly summoned me and bit for about 120 each time). Until I did it he got his HP back. After few trials I canceled. I bound myself on the island and port to PoK to ask for help. There was really helpfull magician - lvl 65 - who aggred to help me. He used translocator (boats didnt work this day) and came to help me. He killed corrupted cyklops in less then 1 minute. I was sa greatfull him - another piece for my epic obtained.

Hey guys.

There were many times I wondered if I was at the wrong camp. I camped this guy for 7 hours straight yesterday and logged in a few other random 1-3 hours other days. He finally popped for me today. I had a 66 mage (non elemental) with the 66 airpet and he was able to kill 4-5 sea fury cyclops at a time.

The Tainted spawned at pos 1200, neg 6000. We were camping right around there. That area is right by a goblin camp and MANY giants path through that way. Immediately after the Tainted died the Corrupted popped and all was well. The battles were never challenging for the mage.

We killed the bard mob (Quag) about 12 times.. he is much, much more common then our mob.

I camped this guy yesterday, about 2 hours in the afternoon and then another 2 in the evening. The group I had later (my 55 druid, a 59 pally, and a 53 warrior) went through them a lot faster, eventually killing 3-5 in a pull. I do think that the more you go through the more likely the tainted is to pop. It would have taken me forever to do by myself since rooting and rotting solo takes forever and these guys. The beaches are definitely the best places to avoid adds if you don't want them. Good luck and watch out for the mana draining named for the bard epic. Cash and drops weren't bad, either, during the camp.

i was camping the seafury island by mistake today, assuming that is where the AC spawns... and i see the tainted clops spawn and ask my guild about it, they told me to take it out. so i sent my pet in and killed him rather typicaly. then to my surprise this guy spawns and i was quite low on mana... hasted my pet, slowed the guy and used my epic for some dot damage while i medded on my drog. all the while i had a guildmate running to me to get the item.

took about 10 minutes since i didnt have enough mana to proporly dot him, but i was never in any danger once he was slowed.

Me and my other druid friend pwned this wuss (thx a bunch tuvien!!!) not very hard, 1 more piece and im done =)

Took him solo today with my 56 Beastlord 4 times within an hour. I've never seen him spawn so fast. Luckily there were a couple of Druids there who had yet to loot that part of their epic. My pet basically takes the Tainted solo with only one heal but the Corrupted is much tougher. I pull him with my slow spell and he has yet to summon me. I believe it's true, he will not summon unless you inflict damage. Once he's down to about 30% I jump in and help pet finish him off. He does hit for 145 damage and even with my 36hp regen., he can make a dent in your health. All in all, Beastlords rock.

Important Points:
The mob doesn't summon until you damage it, at least it appeared that way to me... so use cancel magic or a snare to pull it to wherever you want to dispatch it.
Hits for 145 max, can double hit.
Approx 15k hp. (seems like it was 3 rounds of my 3 best dots, and then a last round of 2 of them).

The Story Version:
I was/am trying to finish up my epic. I came to the island, checked track, and tainted was already up. I killed him, corrupted spawned. I didn't check any forums, so I didn't know that the corrupted summons. It surprised me at first -- I kept trying to DoT him in between summons and healing myself every once in a while, but I went LOM (was already down some from tainted). I egressed, boung myself on the middle island, and went at it again. It was a repeat of the same scenario except I got adds from the idiots on the SW part of the island (was semi kiting it around -- my fault for not looking behind me lol, was only one other person in zone, and I was them on other island, so I wasn't worried about them). I tried to get help, but it was very early in the morning, and hardly anyone was on. I medded to full, and went after him again. I snared him and dragged him to just West of the abandoned ruins. I rooted him, Dotted with Winged Death, got summoned, backed up, Dotted with Drifting, got summoned, backed up, dotted with Ro, got summoned, backed up, healed, summoned, back up, sit for 2 seconds, stand, get summoned, etc, etc.

He would summon about every 10 seconds (maybe is was 12, that would be 2 ticks). I would heal myself every 4 or 5 summons... This mob hits for 145 max, but I was mitigating pretty good, so he would hit me for 40s and 100s most of the time (skin like nature, self-only AC/thorns buff, Regrowth, and of course KEI and SoE, as well as having full elysian armor and a couple of other nice pieces). The key is not to be sitting when summoned, because he will hit you for full damage every time. I learned that the hard way. When he finally died, I was down to about 30% life and 5% mana. My stats if they matter to you were as follows (with above mentioned buffs):
1732 hp
909 ac
100 agi
255 wis

could a level 55 mage solo him with kei? he seems easy when he only hits for 150's.

Hmm..funny, this guy wasn't too hard for a 51 Mage to solo. It's not to hard, take down the Tainted(easy, Earth pet will have 70% left)..once the tainted falls, corrupted will spawn..make sure Burnout III and Damage Shield r up..pet will be at about 15%, then summon a new one, if anything, kill it right b4 the spell finishes, then send ur new pet. The Corrupted will be atleast a 60%, then just nuke it with ur 49 Nuke which should hit for about 800 a pop

wile camping for the AC, i was running around after i killed gornit, and unfortunatly my invis wnet down right in front or the tainted, well needless to say instant aggro, just me a 46 shammy with kei and my RL GF a 41 pally. we didnt know who he was but he conned red to me so i avoided him all day, until my invis poped then i had no choice, well we killed him in about 10 min just the 2 of us and them whammo the corrupted pops, like i said i didnt know any of this until after i logged and looked it up here, well we and my other half were able to get him to 2 bubs befor my pet died she died and i got to 1/2 bub of life, so i gated out. he may be an epic mob but i think although he is quite mean, that if just the 2 of us could do this much damage to him at our respective levels, then he shouldnt be that hard for a small group of 3 or four. i know if we had 1 more tank there we could have taken him. and to any one who was on the island when all this went down, im sorry for any inconvience i might have caused you, but it wasnt intentional, and i didnt know.

Killed him with 2 friends, 59 shammy, 55 monkey, and 53 dru (me). As soon as we got to the island, tainted popped infront of us, easy camp I say! :) Took a good time since Quag agro'd us, so had to take him out while the corrupted kept summoning me and i kept running until Quag dropped. Had lot's of fun though.

This guy always summons me, even when I am not on his island!! LMAO! I can be clear over on another isle, say working on Gornit, and that creep Corrupted will summon me, and that leaves my group without a healer! He is one mean dude to a lvl 50s cleric. :p

Yup he fell on me when I was about to pull a sea fury.

Bad move on his part I had FM and was fully buffed. He took his toll on my scaly hide but I managed to fend him off till my Warder annoyed him.

I sat there and healed pet till Buster (my warder) tore him a new one.

No agro from the spells I cast on my warder saved my life.

Corrupted -> 0
Churon -> 1

Dont get me wrong it was CLOSE.

Just wanted to add that a 51 Mage and a level 39 or higher cleric can take this guy pretty easy.

Not bragging, just wanted to give you an idea of his strength.
