That really makes you wonder:
Up until Rallos Zek made the first attempt at killing the great Kerafyrm, no one came close.
Rallos Zek almost killed Kerafyrm, they despawn him. Does this mean there was possibly loot on it that wasn't meant to be had? And was just taken off when they despawned him? I know when they actually did kill him, there was nothing.
sleeper 1.0 - Kerafyrm
Raid Encounter
After being awakened, Kerafyrm rampaged through much of Velious, slaughtering everything in its path from Sleeper's Tomb to Skyshrine.
Formerly of Sleeper's Tomb, Kerafrym the now awakened currently resides in Crystallos, Lair of the Awakened.

There were many understandable reports of possible exploitation regarding the first Rallos collective attempt on Kerafyrm. That's why he was despawned.
The second attempt was monitored carefully from start to finish (to ensure no despawning at bad times), and was a monumental effort. Probably the pinnacle of EQ achievement.
When a mob isn't meant to be killed, they don't put loot on them. That lesson was learned with Inte Akera in PoSky. For examples, look at the first clearings of PoAir, the first Rydda`Dar and Rallos Zek the Warlord kills. The first Vex Thal kills. Many instances of Cloth Caps to be found when a mob hasn't been assigned loot.

EQ running itself is enough of a pinnacle, but the number one thing would probly be crafting the best Online massic multiplayer game that runs on a home computer, not some fancy shamncy machine. But de-activating the spawn cycle of him is NOT the best ever.
I think he meant killing Kerafyrm was the pinnacle. And I have to agree. The lore of EQ all leads to that dragon and builds him up to be the be all and end all. The fact the mob can only exist once per server marks it with tremendous respect.
I remember one great post describing how he'd made it to Sleeper's Tomb and had spawned the Sleeper, and that everyone was wiped almost instantly. He said that he doesn't feel bad about failing to sley that dragon, as he regards dying to the beast as being his completion of EQ.
Kerafyrm's death is a somber thing for me, but something I give upmost respect for.
I'd love to know what lore continued from there.

umm at the time of kunark there werent 10k+ hp toons so 1 hit form sleeper woulda wiped the main tank and the reaid woulda been dead, i dont see it happenin that the sleeper was killed during the launch of velious
Didn't mean Kunark, sorry. Meant Velious, or so I remember the era to ahve been. Minor brain fart there.
The person I know's guild was involved, but this wasn't about getting an tank with x thousand HP... it was about getting many guilds together and throwing people at it.

Well, I was personally watching it Live from a chat channel when this occurred.
What I understood was this:
1) They conjured up a way to hurt Kerafyrm. Melee could hurt her(?). They gathered lots of melees and lots of epic clerics around. Melees just hurled themselves at Kerafyrm untill they died. At this point, someone took the corpse and dragged it to cleric. Cleric clicked rezz, melee looted equipment and just threw himself again at Kerafyrm. At almost 0% a GM despawned Kerafyrm for she was not to be killed.
2) Few days (Or was it the next day, whatever), the powers that be decided that the huge amount of players (around 300ppl on a PvP server (unseen this far)) deserved a retribution for their efforst. Kerafyrm was respawned on RZ. They used the exact same tactic and killed kerafyrm. Corpse was there but nothing in the corpse.
I hope this satifies everyone who is interested about the tale of "how the unkillable was killed".
PS. I am a coder in a mud (www.bat.org) and understand fully how the politics were handled and how some mob was supposed to be unkillable. The damn players always conjure up ways to abuse their skills in unthinkable ways :)
PPS. This is all to my best knowledge. Please correct if I am wrong. I never try to mislead anyone. I love the story how it went and would just love if someone has more details.

Considering that there's a lot of lvl 80 mobs around these days (especially GoD) I can't help but wonder if the lvl on Sleeper has been changed. Anyone been to ST recently?
I am not sure if he has been left sleeping on any servers. I know he was awoken on the server I play on. =(

If I am correct to make the big sleeper appear to kill every single last person in the zone you just kill the four warders and then he will come out of his big bubbley thing :) I wonder if you can minor illusion the big bubbley thing.... But it takes a raid to kill each warder so this guy can be a big pain....

of course he's a pain. he's the hardest mob in EQ, he has a 20k DT hit's for 7k and has insane regen. on RZ when he was first downed it took about 300 people which were 3 guilds so yes I'd call him a pain

Posted: May 31 2004 at 2:55 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) the sleeper was repopped and slaughtered on drinal in one of the oldschool planes as a GM event.. i think it was PoMischief?
PoM???
Come on bro, he wasn't repopped in PoM I was on at the time in drinal and everyone that was said to be fighting him was in sleeper's tomb, they trapped him in the water for most of it. The battle took around 40-50min to complete with approx 80-130 peeps at any given time (flux) from ld's and rezzes.
He was killed and dropped nothing, meaning verant has no loot table for him as of yet..
Leading me to believe that he is created as an intricate part of a quest, yet undicided, or just unrevealed to us. If you read every lore and tale about this most uberest dragon, there are some ties to an apocolyptic type of end, or close to at least a few expansions worth of knowledge.
I challenge the few to read up and imagine on your own the possible relations to in game scenarios and quests. You too may see the tie that he has to a few big ones.

I believe the Sleeper was repopped recently in Plane of Mischief as a GM EVENT (as I said), and CiH downed him... (at least thats what they were spamming in the 'market' channel
And yes I believe the sleeper is involved with something in the Potime? >.<

Read the storyline for EQ2. Sir Lucan D'Lere is there, clearly. Paladins have killed him countless times, and yet he still lives there. What's the big deal? EQ1 is NOT EQ2, right? Just pretend EQ1 never happend =D

Posted: May 30 2004 at 7:49 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) ok ok the sleeper was killed but not by a raid. it was a glitch in system.1 of the guardians respwaned and jumped the sleeper.the guardian was hittin it for bout 3k dmg and bout with 6delay nobody can withstand that.here is the major reasons why the sleeper cant be killed by people. 1. he has 1,000,000hp and regains 100,000 per tick(6 seconds).2 he has deaht touch witch effect enrire zone means everybody dies whether in fight or not.3 he was made to be invincble not killed like 1 guy said earlier would ***** story line
You plucked almost all that information out of thin air!
The point about the guardians is what I want to comment on though. The first encounter with the Sleeper was obviously unprepared - noone could have expected such a tough mob! After basically wiping the whole raid (some kept low out of the action and lived long), the sleeper ran amuck of the entire zone, killing all the other mobs in the zone that were still alive. After which, he was down to 97 or 98% (i forget which) health.
There are also stories that he then zoned out and wiped out zone after zone on a huge rampage. I've not seen any evidence that this is the case, but it's certainly possible as there have been GM events in the past with similar mobs (though a little less godly).
No I don't believe the Sleeper was designed to be killed. He can only then have been there as lore.
Although he has now been sleyed, his legend certainly lives on.

Just wondering, but can the sleeper only be killed once per server?
It can be killed once per server, assuming the GM's don't repop it/ put it back to sleep.
They don;t always do this.

it appears that it can only be killed once per server. RZ has killed it and it has not respawned.

Posted: May 14 2004 at 2:22 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) People people people..Are you that dumb? The sleeper has NEVER been killed..Rallos Zek, and I dont care who tells you other wise, never took him down. A few kidsw from RZ went onto an emulator, thats right, emulator, summoned allt he equipment they needed and hacked his life down to 1 and made him a joke...And I have clues as to why I think this...First of all, if you look at the picture there are no deaths..NONE...He would have killed at least one of them...Secondly, he dropped nothing...And from what I have read from SoE sites the Sleeper has a large loot range. And thirdly because even if the clerics had their epics, they wouldent have been able to rez fast enough, and even if they did the people they rezzed wouldent have time to loot to get back and fight..The Sleeper can take you down in one hit, and I know this because I fought him on Morrel Thule. I hope this was helpfull

R U DENSE!!!!! there r hundreds of pics of dead peaple and people looting corpse, or dragging them away from the fight. there are also videos of the sleeper goign down on on china servers, he has no loot because he was not suppost to be killed. i was on when a server wide story skrip about it was given by a GM. honestly how the heck with all this and SoE confermig it how the hell can u think its a huge lie. :-/

You are a Fool, SOE gave a server wide congrats that RA killed the sleeper you Fool. There was no loot and there are tons of pics. I saw the server wide congrats and just becuse you can't belive it does not make it true. RZ killed the Sleeper and you wonted it to of been you. I did not get to kill it, but I take it like a eq player should. With a big congrats to RZ!

The only reason you people believe it is because you guys want him to be killed, and you think it would be cool...They didnt do it. And if you read my last paragraph therer are 3 reasons they didnt kill him

Pyon u dumbass the sleeper has been killed i was on when they had the server wide congratz hell its on EQ live. yes he wasnt killeble back then but he is now. wake up man sleeper may carrie it to eq2 but it aint gona ruin ur lil gay story cuz chances r SoE wont even mention it so calm down and i hope u dont wet the bed to nite =P
FYI they didnt rezz much at all........high lvl clerics should have unfailing divinity maxed. Its an AA ability of the cleric. THis makes their spell: divine intervention work more times. Divine intervention isnt really a rezz. you get everything back and 100% health along with all buffs. If you could see the tank's spell list divine intervention would be on there.
However the spell Divine Intervention uses 2 emeralds as reagents and has a refresh time of 90 seconds from the time it was last cast (or memorized).
DI also doesn't work on death touches, since the check to see whether DI fires off or not is made somewhere around 15% health and not actually when the tank dies.
Oh yeah, and even with ud3, my DI doesn't work all the time. It's about an 60% chance of a full 8k heal on an ogre warrior. That chance jumps maybe 15-20% (educated guess) if that ogre gets a charisma buff before DI lands.

And too add to that one...I dont think SoE wanted people to kill Kerafyrm, so they made him invincible...And this is why I think that...In the 2nd EQ the sleeper is supposed to be back from hiding or whatever he was doing before, and if RZ had killed him that would have ruined the storyline for the second...This game has been very carefully planned, and Im sure in the 2nd they will also explain Quarm and the guy that gets freed from him when he dies...But for now we just have to wait..

Some things were meant to be impossible for us in the old age but not anymore. It is very possible for anyone to kill him now, Afterlife, Fires of Heaven, Arch Overseers.... Alot of Time guilds are able just everyone thinks of him as invinvible because the only people to try their hand at it were the pesky little guilds that felt like pissing everyone off for waking him or the stronger ones who were just not ready or impatient. Simple as that, can't judge a book by a covor so believe what you want. Noone has the right to tell you to listen to what you hear, only thing that would change some people's minds is sight....

First off, i saw the serverwide message, and i have a friend on RZ who was online talking with people fighting him. And killing the sleeper on on server doesnt make a difference, each server is a different world, so all sony has to do to cover it up for EQ2 is to not make a Rallos Zek server. He was made not to be killed in the time of velious, but when he was taken out people had way better gear which made it possible. think of trak, it took groups and groups of people to take him down when Kunark came out, but now i've seen him be done with 5 people. Things change, mobs get easier, with the new expansion and max level going to 70, things will get easier, get over it and take it like a man. Gratz RZ

I don't know people but I have a funny feeling that if SOE didn't want the sleeper killed, they wouldn't have made it super hard and left GM's watching, waiting for the day that we do get poweful enough to kill him just to pop the zone on us. I kinda think if they didn't want him killed they would have made him impossible to kill. =)

Yeah the frist time rz fought the sleeper i bet that gm freeked and repoped the zone like he was told to. Now like some one said for a gm it is so easy to add /remove items.Also all the gms would of never thought that the sleeper would die but people got stronger and smarter.The gms new it would happen some time so i think they cept watch to see if any one would kill it and it happend. The thing i thougt was funny is it messed up the story for eq2 since the sleeper died and they didnt cheat one bit on rz lol.

Ummm...I thought as lore goes the Sleeper is the child of Naggy and Vox. The dragons imprisoned Naggy and Vox in thier respective lairs to prevent them from breeding again. If Vox and/or Naggy are freed then they will seek each other out to breed again.
nononono, Vox and Naggy DID mate, but the egg hasn't hatched yet (it's with Vox at the moment). Kerafyrm is the child of Dozekar the Cursed (who is a mob in Temple of Veeshan) and an unnamed female dragon. Sources are in-game lore an and the Pen-and-Paper books, which I buy solely for the lore. They're very entertaining reads, actually.

Not sure where I read this, but I'm pretty sure Sleeper's mother is Jaled Dar's daughter. I remember reading something of Sleeper killing his mother, driving Jaled Dar to take direct action against him to avenge his daughter.
Of course, I'm not totally sure of this, just something I've read.

I was just thinking, I remember reading that when the sleeper was inprisoned there were 4 traitorous dragons that fled from CoV, Quarm has 4 dragon heads. And Quarm is gaurding Zeber whatever, and wasnt Zeb suppost to have knowledge on how to kill the gods or something and information about the sleeper given to him from Trakanon? So, maybe the 4 trailorous dragons, now Quarm are trying to keep people from getting to Zeb and killing thier main man Kerafyrm. Just poped into my head after I read the story of Kerafyrm and saw a picture of Quarm.
