Pestilence Scythe 
He have alot of resist. Did as 51 bard. Dispelled all his buffs. Then tried snare, dot cold, dot magic, dot fire. All resist. In maybe 1 of 30 I got a snare. So very high resist. Had to go charm gnolls on him. A pain to be lvl 30 and resist all from a 51 bard.
he was 35... HEs a SK and HT me for 351. Tried to cast darkness and tapped me for 45.

I managed to solo live version of him (54 cleric), barely, fight ended with me 161/1362. I got off 4 reckoning's (640DD) for 255, 455, 555, 355, tanked him the rest of the way, resisted 2 sound of force and 3 roots, i had to self remedy 5 times in fight, once he was dead, pet was easy to tank. Lesson here is REMEMBER TO BUFF DAMN IT :)

There are several pallies who describe their experiences with grimrot on here, but no details from clerics. Has anyone soloed either grimrot with a cleric, or only with help? If you have done it, what level, and how tough?
From the posts on this site, the undead grimrot sounds pretty easy. My cleric is lvl 44, and I will probebly try to solo undead grimrot. I should be able to absorb a harmtouch from a lvl 30 with no sweat, then alternate stuns with undead nukes til he falls.
The live grimrot sounds like a problem. If he is as magic resistant as the posts say, I'm assuming that I cannot use a root/nuke, or stun/nuke strategy and take him down. Has anyone tried getting a chanter to tash him first? I'm wondering how much help I would need, and what type. I have more caster friends than melees, and so the resistance thing might be a big problem. However, if he can be tashed, and my spells would stick after, I could probably take him out from there.

I killled the live version of Grimrot yesterday. I am a cleric of 51 seasons. I was not able to catch him as soon as he poped so he was buffed and ready for me when i got there. I did not have any resist spells up but did have all of my HP buffs on for 1941 HP.
For being light blue, he was quite a fight. He resisted 3 of 5 Immobolize. I gave up casting them due to the resists and let him (and his pet) pound on me while I nuked away. I cast Retribution and only one landed at full damage. I totaled up all of the ones that I cast and he took on average 57% of the normal damage, resisting the rest. He had about 1800HP (I cast for 1772 damage and also hit him with my Dark Ember inbetween casts (and when interrupted)). I was just under 2 bubbles and very LOM when he ran.
Note: He also fully resisted the damage from the Dark Ember when it proced.

I wanted to add some more information on spell casting and the live Grimrot. This time I was helping out a low level paladin. I cast 7 Retributions and they varied from a low of 36 point to a high of 140 points (yup, a high of only 140). I cast 5 Immobolize and all 5 were resisted. One Fear type spell was cast and also resisted. Using 2000+ mana I took him down less than half way. So, in the first fight he took 57% of normal damage. The second time I faced him, he took about 18% of normal.
I killed the live version of Lord Grimrot today with my level 52 paladin. Needless to say it was a tough fight. Here are some things to keep in mind about this guy.
1. He has a harmtouch for about 350hp of damage.
2. He resisted Force (a stun spell that does a modest amount of damage that paladins can cast at level 52) EVERY TIME.
3. Something that I have not seen mentioned is the fact that he casts an instant Strength tapping spell of some sort (Vampiric Touch?) that sucked my strength down to about 92 from a high of 122. Additionally, I did not resist this spell a single time despite having a magic resistance of 79 and a disease resistance of 80.
4. The highest amount of melee damage he did to me was 78.
5. At level 52 he conned light blue.
6. Finally, from counting the number of times I hit him and using an estimated average damage per swing he had about 1700-1800hps.
7. I did not have to LOH, but I ended the fight with only one blue bubble of health.
8. Finally, I killed his PH at 5pm EQ time, and he spawned about 3hours and 10 minutes later. Interestingly enough it seems he spawns 10 minutes sooner than the placeholder putrid skel which is on a 3hour 20minute cycle.

Correction one yellow bubble of health.

Killed him (live version) twice yesterday on Xev server, spawned one after the other. I had logged in 3hrs later to see if he or a PH would spawn. His live version reappeared and I shouted to zone he was up as I didn't need his scythe again.
I then logged and came back on 1/2 an hour later to ensure someone had cleared spawn but he was still up. I did a quick check to ensure no one was camping then attacked him. Very soon into the fight I noticed cleric nukes hitting him but didn't have time to look around.
After killing him I turned to see a party that had unfortunately appeared just slightly too late. But the nice cleric who was amongst them got to loot body and so the remains didn't go to waste.
The first fight was tough as stated by the other 52 Pally, I ended with 1 bub on health from that fight. I can confirm he resisted the Force (stun) spell every single time but only partially resisted or didn't resist my only DD fire based spell.
The second fight went much easier, and I am sure it was due in no small part to the clerics assistance. Although I can't confirm how much damage was dealt out or what he resisted from the clerics part.
I also took alot less damage due to the timing of proc from my sword which proc's Rune III and had proc'd three times during fight saving me at least 700hps.
BTW: Second spawn of live version of Grimrot was at night so I am not convinced of timing spawn etc. However like the fool I am I am sure I will continue to kill at specific times... just in case... I am also glad someone who needed the items got to loot them.

Update: Got my Aegis today, dead version finally spawned for me. I can confirm much much easier to kill. The undead version did spawn for me at night, but purely for the fact I was camping and then logging back on when spawn was due.
Pure law of averages meant some spawns were at night. I am unsure of faction required as I was at ally from doing the soulfire quest but I had no problem, after i stated "I came to defend life" or what ever the quote was.
Undead version resisted nothing...

For those of you that asked, the PH is a putrid skellie that is standing up. This spawn time starts from when you kill whatever popped last, and goes about 3 hours and 15-45 minutes. I have gotten a blank where nothing popped after 4 hours. In which case come back around 6-7 hours after the previous one got killed. Also, these will not depop. If you can't take out the live grimmy (almost made me LoH, a 47th lvl pally) the spawn cycle will not continue. I've seen 4 live ones, including the first one that I just happened upon and no dead ones so far.

anyone please, what is the LOC WHERE HE SPAWNS????

You need to kill all the crumpled putrid skeletons in the undead ruins in the NW part of SK (head due south from NK and you'll see the ruins on your right). Kill all the putrids and wait. Under one of the little shanty things a *standing* putrid skeleton will spawn. He is the placeholder.
The other putrid skellies are irrelevent, unless you want to kill them for faction. The only one that affects grimrot's spawn is the placeholder, the standing putrid skelly. He's on a timer around 3hrs and 10-20 minutes. He pops on that schedule, regardless of what you do to the other skellies.

Camping skellies one day for necro food I came across this strange fellow, Con'd blue to me at 34 so I shouted out and asked for info. A 54ish rogue said that he wanted to help take him down. Of course I didnt want to die so I said sure. I started to fight trying to fear Grimrot, he resisted. Then the rogue set out on him, he ended up telling me to run when he had 2bubs of health left, I started to run but he killed Grimrot, BARELY.
He looted the crap scythe and let me loot the Lore Scythe, kinda cool I guess just to mess around with. Gonna check up on quest now.
By the way, this post isnt a lie, so dont gimme any crap, I do believe that this guys lvl varies greatly even though he always cons low.

The problem is, there are two lord grimrots. The level listed, seems to be for the undead guy (about lvl 30), while the picture is for the live one. I have killed the live grimrot 4 times, and he has always conned dark blue at lvl 44. I believe I read that his level is 33-35. He doubles for about 80pts, and resists a lot. I cannot even come close to soloing him, but have no trouble if I can recruit any melee type over lvl 30, preferrably one who taunts, or a few melees around high 20's. Retribution (496 pt dd) averages for about 300hp's, and he doesn't completely resist often. Have the melee tank him, and nuke him down. Heal melee as needed. root pet, or ignore it, until Grimrot dies. The pet is a wuss. Only problem is it does interrupt some with bashes. So rooting is better.

This guy hits really hard, luckily when I had half a bub of HP left someone pulled him away then I healed myself, he conned black to me at 34, and hes got a bad *** DOT.

Posted: Aug 26 2001 at 4:16 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) What is the PH for grimrot plz anyone i hav tried cleaning out the camp with no luck.
the middle structure - what ever you want to call it - that doesnt have a yellow block on top is where the PH or Grim spawns. It will be the only standing Putrid Skeleton.
I have been doing this for several weeks. One week at least I stayed out there killing the PH. I do not believe all these "formulae" for killing the PH to get a specific spawn. A cleric on my server just killed as soon as spawn and got both. One cleric had both spawn in one day for him. I have seen live Grimrot spawn at night so it doesnt matter when you kill the PH.

I'm afraid you didn't get a part of it. Lord Grimrot in his human form drops 2 scythes. One which is used for the quest is NO DROP. The other is just newbie trash. Afraid you have to get scthye after all.

I have read about all these time posts, 5am, 7am, 5pm, 7pm ... are these EQ time? 5am when the sun rise in SK, 5pm when the sun set in SK? And 3 hours per spawn, is it 3 real life hours or 3 EQ hours?
I just find it confused because 5AM in California can be 8AM in Newyork .... and so on!
I just find it confused because 5AM in California can be 8AM in Newyork .... and so on!
Which of course begs the question: If 5am in California is 8am in New York, then why is 5am in Erudin still 5am in Felewith? In other words, why no time zones on Norrath. Also, how the heck does the sun come up at the same time in those two places?
Actually, the other guy is part right. The posts about the time of day to kill, refer to EQ time. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, that theory doesn't work.
The 3 hour spawn time, however, is real world, not EQ. Actually, I have been timing spawns, and they seem to range from just under 3 hours (2hrs 57 minutes is shortest I have seen) to well over 3 hours (3hrs 40 minutes is longest so far). Most of them seem to be around 3 hours and 10 minutes.

When talking about when to kill him, they mean in EQ time. When talking about respawn time (3hrs+) it means RL time.
They all mean everquest time. I thought it meant RL time also and was like 12 hours!!?? but it only means everquest time. like 5 minutes per hour or something. not a big deal really.

Ok this is what I got during my camp, if you kill the PH at 5am you will he the PH or dead grim to spawn at night, 5pm you'll get PH or live grim to spawn. If you kill him on this time it just allows you to target when he'll pop, all this 1 in 6 stuff is crap from what I've seen btw this guy is a rare spawn and is random there is no set event or any of that other crap people like to guess at the only way to get him is to have him spawn in day or night depending what version you want and hope you get him instead of the PH. With waiting and luck is the only way you'll get this guy (to keep the PH alive untill you kill him at 5am/pm pull him to the nw corner and hold him with roots till the time comes, this will keep the noobs from running through the camp and ******** it up on you). I got mine finaly =)

Funny, you call others noobs, then you buy into the old timing the spawn thing, which several people have said is not true. I have had live grimrot spawn at night, as well as during day, so this timing thing doesn't work. Plus, since the spawn time has a range of about 45 minutes, from just about 3 hours, to nearly 4 hours, there is no guarantee that killing at a certain time will lead to a day vs. night spawn, since that range translates to around 12 hours game time.

On the Rathe, a 35 Shammy friend of mine and, myself being a 35 Shadow Knight, were heading to Rathe Mtns. through the Karanas when I passed his spawn point. Having never seen him before, I thought it quite interesting <I was under Gather Shadows>. I proceeded to ask about his spawn, loots, etc. when my Invis droped. Well, heres the odd deal. He hit me. Whats so odd? NPC Shadow Knights open with Harm Touch...he didnt do it once. Anyhow, we took him down with some moderated difficulty, a Harm Touch, and 6 Greater Healings from the Shammy <I had Iksar BP too, so that prob. helped>. I looted Scythe <Quest Version> and we went on our way after disposing of his pet. I am just surprised no Trackers had found him before we wandered on to him.

He probably used up the harmtouch on some passing mob. I have seen him attack aviaks and other mobs who wander too close. In fact, if there is no competition for the spawn, I recommend waiting until he uses the harmtouch on a pasing mob, as a way to make the fight easier. doesn't take long, something wanders through in the first few minutes.

I am a level 27 cleric on Rallos and was hunting with a 26 Bard buddy today in SK. One of the bard's good friends was also in SK - she being a level 40 bard. She told us she had seen Lord Grim live version and asked if either of us needed to loot. About 3 minutes later she asked us to meet her at bridge because she needed help. We got there and the 2 bards kited and attacked him while I healed and after about 15-20 minutes he was dead and I had my Scythe.

If everyone know's he's random, then why are people posting otherwise? .. I would have to say it's not common knowledge. You just tried to state a fact on the same thing you just called others an idiot about. Not very smart IMO.

1)he has been known to spawn back to back.
2)he has been known to spawn with as few as one PH between spawns, up to several. (A friend of mine had 12 PHs between Grimrot spawns.)
That is a pretty good case that it's a random spawn.

Here is the deal to get both of the Grimrots to spawn:
First off, getting Grim instead of his PH is a 1 in 6 chance. When you see the PH, check the EQ time. If you kill the PH betweem 6am and 9am you will have a chance for the Undead Grimrot. If you kill the PH between 6pm and 9pm, you will have a chance at getting the Live Grimrot. If you kill the PH at any other time, you will automatically get the PH again! Once you have killed the PH, it will be another 3 and 1/2 hrs before the next spawn.
Good Luck!
