The Burrower Beast  

Can't find anything about it on the mob page but he spawned right near this burrower and like this one, can't be targeted.

Dead in 4 minutes, maybe a little less.

Dropped Warsong of the Vah shir + other spells already noted above.

Whole event took about ~ 1/2 hour.

This guy isn't hard compared to his previous waves of mobs.

Went in with 75 Ranger, Rogue, and Druid. Had either Ranger or Rogue tank, and used Reptile Skin to keep the tanking person alive.

However we weren't done with wave 6 when 7 spawned, however they didn't agro. With 1 mob left from wave 6, the others despawned, so no lewt.

Beware, make sure you agro each wave if they do not agro you, because they will despawn, and you will lose event.

Went in with 4 people and tried event was not hard but we got no down time at all. All waves came back to back (maybe lack of DPS???) We never got spawn 7 or 8 and not sure why. Took us 25 mins to go threw the first 6 waves no deaths and was not bad at all. went with BST pally cleric and ranger all lvl 70. We may try event again but seams to be bugged atm.

OK,was soloing one night and i was getting ready to gate and i checked track and saw a mob called A ferocious horror lord.

I noiticed he was close by so i invised up and went after him.Rebuffed and meded up then hacked and slashed my way thourgh the mobs around him.then pulled his buddy next to him.

LB to me at 70 i droped him fast,mob list says he drops loot but he just poofed as soon as he droped no body to loot at all.

Well im thinking that maybe he spawned something and when i checked track low and behold what poped?yep you guessed it the burrower beast was on track=)

Im thinking this mob is the trigger mob for the event,funny that he droped loot before for some people but this time he poofed on me.bugged mob?maybe,or maybe hes the trigger.

I found A ferocious horror lord past the bridge on the other side.If you look at the map of the deep hes in the upper left corner,look for a tunnel that loops around.Mob was surrounded by about 3 or 4 other thought horrors.

From bridge go to other side and go RIGHT,follow along ledge to last tunnel,some mushrooms are SI some are not.TAke that tunnel and go straight then look on the map for the tunnel that loops.Mob is in that tunnel,or was when i found him,he might pop anywhere in zone so keep an eye out.

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD HUNTING!

this event is bugged on Vazaelle

By Gale of Destruction of Tunare.

Some important notes -
A Rock Burrower - Both mezzable and slowable
A Rock Carver - Neither mezzable nor slowable
A Spiny Rock Burrower - Neither Mezzable nor slowable

These first 3 waves only have a chance to wipe you if you are not organized and/or do not know what to expect. At 1254 ac (65 shaman) they hit for about 60 on average and 100 max. Just get 12 different melees on 12 different mobs and you are set.

Core Burrowers in Waves 4-6 are unmezzable and unslowable. Average hit is around 200 on a decent armor-class plate tank. Just get your SKs, pallies, and warrs to pick one up and you should be fine.

A Parasite Larvae - Hit about 300-400, only two so are fairly easy. Unslowable unmezzable. Unlike the previous 6 waves, these two spawn under the belly of the Burrower Beast. If you neglect to pull them out you risk having to kill them at the same time as...

A Burrower Parasite - Our tank reported 400-500 hits while in defensive, and average out of disc around 700-800, max barely over 1k but rare. This fella likes to flurry, and is unslowable, so saying that his straight melee makes it an easy fight is a stupid mistake. Zero rampage however. I would compare this fight to Avatar of War in strategy, but not difficulty. AoW has signifigantly more ATK and a 1400 max hit, which just tears through even the best tanks. Keep your cleric wheel tight and tell shaman to patch heal until you find what works to keep your tank up. We started with a 4s wheel, moved to 6s once we got in rhythm. Positioning is a little tough for this guy, there really isn't any corner to pin in. All the walls slope up, or curve. If you can, keep him away from the walls. Tell non-rogue melee to attack from the sides, MT and ST on front, and rogues in the back.

As for time... you can expect 5-6 minutes between each wave until the final pause before the boss wave which I recorded at a whopping 12 minutes of downtime. I have a feeling the time is not concrete, as I set it for 5 minutes and 6 minutes between each wave... I could never tell when the next wave would spawn with pinpoint accuracy, but was within 30 seconds.

All in all I would say this event is very much worth the effort, considering all you need to do is kill 15-20 blue and light blue trash Deep mobs to get to him, and then not much more than an hour doing the event itself.

Drops Spell:Moonfire as well

Completed the quest last night on Stromm.
Guild raid had about 35-40 ppl with raid average 63.
Got whiped off on the first try by the Parasite, because we din't exactly know what to expect.
after CR fights went much smoother.
Waves of mobs were not a problem on both tries. Many drops of acrylia and cash items like Ruby Crown, Gems etc. DPS is essential as well as several high-end tanks and clerics on the raid. Starting from waves of 6, mobs are immune to mezz and slow, so "tank-mezing" is the way to handle them. Worms have alot of HP but nothing more than any other Luclin mob of similar level. All are pure melee. Most of the summon. Hits range from 150-ish (initial wave) to 450-ish (last two). Casters need to be cautios to avoid aggro, as well as "near-death-aggro" for tanks - happened twice, tank was summoned by 4 worms in a row and quickly died, when health went below 20 % on 2 occasions.

The final mob has ALOT of HPs. 800K is a good estimation. Practically immune to Poison and Desease based spells (nobody was able to land any poison or desease dots, though there was no "immune" message, just full resist).
The Parasite indeed has very small targeting "box", so pets are very useful against it, because they don't have problems with targeting :)
CH chain should be prepared for a very long and exausting fight. Several high-end warriors should be ready to chain-MT after Defensive discipline ends for a previous tank. The Parasite Flurries frequently, so the damage output spikes to a quite high level. Necros should sic the pet and start working as a mana-battery for clerics - their poisons and desease dots are fully resisted.
BeastLords, Shammies etc. should memorize Magic/Cold/Fire DD and cast away after MT grabs the aggro - seems to be much more efficient than their semi-pathetic melee output due to very high AC of the mob.

The fight is long, and if plate tanks go down - whipe out guaranteed. On our first attempt 6 plate tanks were killed faster that CH-chain could stitch from one to another. On the second attemt we finished the fight with our secondary tank still standing . Also, there is enough time to "battle-rezz" tanks if they die, just be prepared to quicky handle such situation.

War Song of the Vah Shir
Koadic's Endless Intellect
we did it flawless btw, he also dropped robe, ring of living depths, Ring of living ore and the luclinite

3 waves of 12 Spawns, consisting of Rock Burrowers (mezzable), Stone Carvers, and Spiney Rock Burrowers.
3 waves of 6 Core Burrowers (Enrage)
2 Parasite Larvae (Flurry, Enrage)
1 a burrower parasite (Flurry, Rampage, Enrage)

You have 1 min once entering the room to get ready before first spawn. All waves from then on are 5 mins apart until the 2 spawn which is 6 min and the final spawn is 9mins, so plenty of downtime between fights.

Can this mob be slowed or not? Also, can everything upto the burrower itself be mezzed?
if anyone has a map of the like the burrower room and stuff that would be very helpful also thanks

Hi, i'm member of a guild on karana server. We are about 6-7 full groups of 51+ if there is most of the people are online. Unfortunately, we only got 1 55+ necro but a lot of high priests and melees. Do you think we can get it out easily?

I need to know all the infos you can give that haven't been given in the last posts. How to turn in the ring of fire? What is the respawn time? etc...

Thanks for your answers !

THIS PIC IS BADASS gj whoever took it
