an enraged golem  

Unlike the majority of the other mobs in this zone, you do not have to be in the group that kills this mob in order to loot what you need for your epic!

So here's my 2 cp. After months of searching, sneaking around Fear and gating a few times (adds are still nasty) I finally found a post here with his exact loc. Went to check it out this morning, not really expecting to find the broken golem, but there he was, right in the middle of a bunch of worry wraiths. Just as the posts here said he was just west of the bell tower on the south end of the zone. I sent a few shouts out in /general, /guild, /ooc to get a few people together as I knew from the posts here he was not going to be solo'd by me. A few nervous minutes later I had a group together. I was sure we had the power to handle it, turned out it was WAY overkill but in my book that's better than doing a corpse run anyday (even if they're nerfed now). The group breakdown was a 75 Ranger (Kylerion), 72 Warrior (Raago), 67 Cleric (Mikemike), 65 Rogue (Hord), 65 Necromancer (Sunbaked), and 65 Wizard (myself). Like I said, turned out to be major overkill but it went extremely smooth. Ranger pulled all mobs away from the golem clearing all potential adds from the fight and we beat those down quick. Not even a challenge, I didn't waste my mana on them and I don't think the cleric had to heal even once on those. After adds were cleared we approached the broken golem. I handed him the sprocket and poof, an enraged golem was up. I didn't even get hit because the crew was on him so fast. I saw the rogue get immediate agro so I assume he landed a backstab right off the bat, but the golem quickly turned back on the warrior. I saw a lot of arrows flying by too. He was going down steady and pretty quick. I had only lures mem'd, and he fully resisted my magic lure twice and mostly resisted my ice lure once, the rest of the time I used Lure of Ro and it hit him for full every time. I'm figuring his HP's were actually a little less than 150K because my ~1100 dmg was taking about 1% of his life. Our necro mentioned he was getting resisted alot. By this time I was right up on him and started swingin my staff as well (why not?). He actually started to run at just under 15% I think it was. He didn't get far anyway. All in all he was not a hard mob, but his sheer amount of HP's kept me from even trying him solo.

So if this helps anyone in the future I'll be satisfied but to summarize, /loc is verified -700, -100 just west of the bell tower, he has between 125-150K hps, HIGH resists to everything but FIRE. Easy to tank him down. I do believe he was an even con at 65 so level is verified as well. I resisted the urge to Manaburn him as it would've cost 3000 mana for barely 10% of his life. Oh, and he DOES summon, but only had time to do it once or twice during this fight.

I have not done the turn in yet, and I still need a gnarled staff from Venril Sathir so I've got a little more camping to do before I'll get my epic, but if this was truly the hardest mob I'm anxious to get the rest of it done.

I want to thank the guys that came to my aid, they are all great people! The necro and rangers alt are guildies, the rogue and cleric answered my calls for help in /general and the warrior was already in the zone killing yard trash, so for a pick up group we were pretty well set and it was an honor to fight by their sides. Thanks again guys!

this mob is so farmed out its ridiculuos. almost impossible for me to get my epic. whatever mqing should be nerfed out

Last night we finished this with a patch work raid force that was total overkill for this mob. I don't think our beast of a tank ever went below 95% HPs. We did have two outstanding clerics, though (thank you Keadon, Pavement, and Astman! Plus everyone else from North Star Avengers on ZEK who came along!). Basically our puller went in with the sprocket, handed it to the golem, ran back, and we dispatched him. DO try to clear as many potential adds as possible before pulling, though. They can make it sticky.

This was the hardest part of the epic so far (I've tried phinny and VS, but their parts didn't drop) mainly because agro in PoFear is so screwed up. At one point I zoned in, went to our camp on the west wall. Several undeads aggroed people at random and I somehow got like 14 scarelings coming at me a few minutes after I zoned in and was buffing myself up. It was very annoying.

A few points that may help others:

He was up just over 48 hours after we spotted him on an attempt to do various other epic pieces that need to come from Fear.

Fire and Magic didn't land on him at all. We had no druid to cast Hand of Ro on him, but Icebane, Draught of E'ci and Ice Meteor all landed very reliably.

Have someone else pull him. A ranger did it for us and did awesomely.

Killed 9-19-04 with three people boxing 2 toons each
65 Monk
62 Druid
61 Rogue
61 Necro
61 Pally
61 Shammy

The monk has some elemental gear and ~300AA, the other five have ornate and bazaar bought gear. We cleared a path along the wall slowly, taking mobs as they came to us. Aggro is crazy up there, but no demis or Cazic were up to annoy us. Monk did turn in and pulled to wall, tanked him fairly easily. Druid was main healer, never went oom, and the shammy didn't bother with slows. Druid landed fire debuff, fire dot and fire nuke for most damage, but epic dot was resisted. Shammy epic dot landed, not sure what the Necro casted but the fight was pretty much over once we got him to the wall with no adds. This wizard also MQ'd the gnarled staff from VS and the blue staff from Phinny, so if there were any questions of the epic faction not being fixed, they seem to be.

Killed last night (Monday 5th April, 11pm GMT+10) on Seventh Hammer by Forged Union.

Was a fun fight, we had five people, with mostly pre-VT gear:
* 65 Shadow Knight
* 65 Wizard
* 65 Cleric
* 65 Enchanter
* 63 Wizard

We basically cleared West Wall a bit, then SK fd pulled/split the mob to WW and the rest of us (re)zoned in, ran to WW and it was on.

* Enchanter slow DID NOT land.
* Lure of Ro landed everytime.
* Sunstrike partially landed, some of the time.
* Max hit was ~390, most hits were in the 100s
* He has ~170,000hp calculated by a mana burn of ~8500 doing ~5% damage.

The SK had little-to-no problem getting him alone at WW. Thou during the long fight, we got many adds... and infact had to zone out once during fight when chanter got shadow stepped by a imp.

When we zone back in the golem was where we left him, and had regened ~10% hp.

Some words of advice:

* If imps add, mez them... don't try kill them.
* If anything else adds, kill them.

Anyway, hope this helps. Gratz to Debyan on her epic!!

Cheers

well this golem has crazy resist to all magic type of spells
slow it with shammy disease slow
u can nuke with all type of nukes except magic nukes,lure works well
the fight against the golem is endurant fight ,the opposit of fighting with vs
the golem doesn t cast at all so ... let the tanks do their job ,blasts ,dot it ,it s kind of long fight but not really hard
all healers type are welcome ,cause it has tons of Hp and this ll be a long fight ,only thing is to keep the MA alive and other melles too ,but this isn t too hard
good luck )

Is he slowable?

The Enraged Golem is now a level 65 mob.

Is there a Landmark he usually spawns around? Like under the bell or something?

Much research on this. I'm in a small guild so I figure I'm going to have to be REALLY REALLY good friends with a big guild or just plain hire them (and hope they'll take it). Level 63 warrior (minimum, obviously hes red). 150k HPs. Fire lures work the best. Ro's Fiery Sundering, Lure of Flame, etc. Yeah, the best way to take this dude out is tanks. Sure, lures work, but tanks, clerics, shammies, chanters, and this guy will go down. It will be a long fight. I've heard of groups doing chain-runes but that will get pretty expensive considering the duration of this fight.

Is to possible to bring in 1 or 2 good groups and grap this guy without raiding all of Fear? Last time I was on a Fear raid it seemed like the place was very open and not to populated with mobbys.

i've seen druid epics MQ'd so im guessing portions on wizard epics can

Easy Kill ... takes a while ... but easy

We did it after clearing the zone of everything but a few horses, an eye or 2 and cazic. Everything else was dead, so we didnt have to worry bout gettin adds when we were killing this walking HP with arms.

Had 18 people. 60 warrior tanking (Aedan, you rock.) As for the high MR of this guy, Myself(55 at the time), and our other guild wizzy (59), had no trouble at all landing Lure of Flame on this guy. Never even partial resisted us. He took my sprocket, but i took his oil. We kinda had to do it quick though.. Zlandicar was falling, and we had to go rush off to that when we were done. Was a long fight.. Had time to harvest twice durring it. If you want it to go quicker, bring more tanks. We only had 18 left in zone when we killed him, as it was at the end of the raid and we were porting out when our tracker yelled "GOLEM UP" ... i get lucky like that sometimes... people are about to leave the raid, and my mobs pop up.

Not much strategy was used... send in the MA let him tank for a few seconds, them bum rush his ass. though make sure the zone is pretty much cleared when you do it. Adds can be nasty in a fight that takes this long, and you dont want your chanters to run outta mana from mezzing mobs for the duration of a 15 minute fight.

went on my very first plane raid the other night
(insanley suprised i didnt die zoning in *shrug*)
and we killed this guy with probobly 20 meeleers if not more on him(can be a pain in the ass trying to meelee with 3 ogre butts right infront of you) with a lvl 60 warrior tanking think the fight lasted a couple minutes and noone died=) so he is more than doable

Just one question about this guy....WHY THE HELL would you put a near 100%MR mob in a WIZARD epic quest? I have been trying to figure this out since almost to that part of quest

This guy is lvl 63+, he's red con at 60. I asked a few peeps to con him during the fight.

Killed him last nite during our Fear raid. I landed a Wind of Tishanian(lvl 60 chanter spell) on him, before it killed me. His hardest hit was 400. Fire based lure spell seem to hit most of the time. The entire fight lasted about 15 mins. Pretty amazing that we took him down considering we only had 1 cleric and a total of 20 peepz. Most tanks die, but went right back at him. Chain runing the tanks also helps. Our wizzy was every happy =)

I like phutn feel I can post here cause thats my guild to. I as a caster can say the only thing that stuck on him was tash from my spellbook. Enc's while doing this guy keep your rune spell mem'd and hit tanks with it as soon as ya see them getting low it gives the healers a chance to get to them beforte the tank is wiped out, myself and another enc both went through about 2 stacks of peridots a peice. our death rate while doing hium seemed low. just remeber most casters won't be able to touch him.
