apparently this mob has a placeholder. i was looking to do the turn ins for the strategy of the ancient dragons quest, and instead of Semkak spawning, High Priest of Vallon Zek spawned in his place. just thought i would post this to let those of you know if you had been waiting for him to spawn, and didn't see him, just to confirm his spawn point.
As for info on this guy. He is found in the arena area behind the 3 protectors of zek behind that door... If you turn right after killing the 3 protectors you will find this guy and his 2 cleric guards. If you turn left you will find his twin Gkrean prophet of Tallon who drops the other idols for this quest.
Pulling them single was tough but possible since all 3 are casters and one or 2 may cast on the initial pull but the spawn time of the protectors of zek is a little fast and makes things pressed for time.
While looking for this mob, I got whacked out i 5 hits by Derakor the Vindicator. I never saw him coming, he just killed me out of hand, the rude s.o.b.! I am Ally to most in Kael and Dubious to Tormax.
Can anyone fill me in on Derakor and how to avoid him? Or how to neutralize hiz agro? I am a shaman and as you know, shaman invis is pretty damn poor quality & duration.
Also, can anyone be more specific about where Semkak can be found? Does he wander or is he fixed in place?
I realize this is an old post but I figured I'd reply just in case someone else wanders by here and is wondering the same thing... There is no way to be non KOS to Vindi... he is KOS to all, including my peon level 1 ogre warrior that I sent around Kael to scout mobs, and he does see invis so there is no using that to sneak by him. So the best thing to do is just avoid him ;) As long as you don't go past where Kallis Stormcaller is you will not get to the bridge where Vindi wanders and should not have a problem with being KOS to any giants if your faction is how you say it is.
As far as Semkak... when you get to the rear arena area, just before Kallis, there is a door in the middle of the area that leads into the rear entrance of the arena. If you open the door you will see 3 Protectors of Zek standing in there (on Kromzek faction) and if you walk in and turn right and go in the next door there-Semkak will be stationed in there along with two cleric/priest guards. If you had gone left instead of right, you would be in Gkrean's room.
Splitting them is probably best to do out in the wide open arena area once it is cleared of roamers, or at least that's what our strat has been; we just nailed Gkrean last night because prior weeks we've had trouble clearing and taking down those PoZ's fast enough before they respawn (bastages hit for double 360's =\)
As far as splitting strats... well that's up for your monks and/or SK's to experiment on... we haven't yet nailed down a perfect flawless one and we're practicing new ideas each week, but we're getting pretty good so far =)
My guild killed him today. He dropped the Steel Wristband of Strategy, AND something that I cannot find any info on... Idol of Disease... it is Magic, Lore, No Drop, has no stats, looks like the little gold Icons that are used in cleric's golden armour quests and is a general inventory item... I assume it is for some quest... but what quest? Anyone know?
