I did this quest about 11mths ago when I was level 52. I still have not turned in the head yet as I'm only 53. I took a 10mth break to discover there is a real world out there....

Anyway, Kallis is the only hard part of this quest, as he has the two protectors. My guildies and I took all 3 out over a full 20min period. We were all level 49-52. The cleric was the 49. We were not a Tight Group, but we were a Good Group.

Here is how you do it...
1) Arrow pull the protector on the left first. Kill him away from the other two. If you pull others, run or you die.
2) Arrow pull the right guard. Kill him away from the other two. If you pull Kallis too, you might live, probably not.
3) Arrow pull Kallis! Remember to pull Kallis away from him spawn point if you plan on having an extended fight like us, as the giants will respawn during the battle, then you die of course.

Be prepared for a long fight. Kallis has a ton of HPs. He does not hit overly hard (80-275, mostly 200) but he does hit somewhat fast.

NOTE: All giants will run when HPs are low. Root them before they get back to their buddies, or you die.

Good luck and have fun. I miss this game.

WTF?! Yet another instance when karana rangers get shafted!! Or is there a corresponding quest for karana worshipers elsewhere?

Buddy of mine has 3 heads. I have overseer's head. HE is a troll SK Cazic Thule. Is there anyway for him to use illusions to allow the turn in?

killed the overseer with a ranger of 56(me), a ranger of 60 and a necro of 65. and we accidently plled 4 other giants in to the keal ZI. i had to zone and heal then zoned back in while other ranger was zoning out as well and then he cam back and finished him off

I did MQ with a lvl 55 War, and im a 58 Ranger. We where both dubiously so we did Muffin quest, he did more than me i think and he conned appre to Earthmelder, i conned Amaibly. He hailed him first then gave head, then i gave my 3 heads. Then woot! New Helm.

When you get to a pull spot where the Protector's of Zek spawn, is there anyway that you might aggro Derakator The Vindicator? cuz them im pretty damn sure that you would get whiped out~? and on this website, it says the helm procs a 55% slow with a 490DoT in 20ticks, i dont think it is correct, cuz i thought the effect on the helm was Truesight or whatever

Earthmelder spawn at neg 446 neg 2483. He spawns inside a cage looking thing.

thankfully faction is not an issue on this quest...i am a KoS ranger of Tunare and finished the quest...it was a MQ with a non-KoS ranger...used sneak and bam new helm...you get no xp but still get the helm...well i thought i would let all the rangers like myself who have screwed up Tunare faction by being stupid or letting a friend who is an idiot play your character...p.s. muffin quest does fix faction enough to get epics as well but WILL not help PoG faction.

We multi-quested the helm. A 56 bard had the three heads from Kael (Kallis, Smashed Protector of Zek, Bloody Protector of Zek), and I had the Frost Giant Overseer’s head. Happy Day!!!

A note for those with "enhanced" tracking abilities (you know who you are)...The Frost Giant Overseer actually appears as "Frostgiant Overseer" on tracking. If he's up, you'll find him almost straight out from the Kael entrance in the construction area among other giants (In Wakening Lands).

I can also confirm that his spawn time is somewhere between 2 to 3 days. He is indeed level 56; however, he has a TON of hit points. My group had a 55 ranger (me), 56 monk, 54 Cleric, 54 Necromancer, and 54 Shadowknight. He was down to 25% health when the monk and I died and everyone else had to zone. We tried again with the help of a second group and we succeeded.

Just a note 55 shaman apprehensive successfully multi questest this..had the heads of kallis, and the zek protectors....the ranger had the overseers head.

Me and some friend Took down the Overseer last night, being overconfident (ie. Impaitent) we tried it with just half a group; 54 Pally, 53 Wizard, 55 Bard, and me a 52 Ranger. Needless to say we got our butt's handed to us on a platter, but did manage to get him down to half life before we had to zone (ok, me and the pally died, and YES HE DOES SUMMON).
Once the CR was done (thanks Kimbera for the rezz's) we had a full group, with a cleric and chanter, and another ranger. I single pulled the laborers that had repopped, and pulled the Overseer back to the group where we were able to extract our revenge! Me and the new Ranger both rolled for the head and I did win =)... Just gotta make 55 now.
I guess my suggestion after doing this would be, make sure to have a Cleric, and someone to slow unless your a bunch of lvl 60's and think getting hit for 166 tickles (you know who you are). Remember he does summon, he took a very keen liking to our Chanter, he thought she was cute I guess. Also make sure you clear the giants from the Kael entrance, as adds suck.
Good luck fellow rangers, I'm looking forward to this helm, its sweet, and the fight was a blast since he conned red to all but one of us.

Tried to MQ this with a 52 druid friend of mine the message was "how did someone as inexperienced as you get a hold of this. i will see it gets into the right hands." So you have to have both ends of the MQ be 55 or it doesn't work. Or if that is the good message it scares the piss out of me. OOnly handed in one head to see though. So don't have to totally start over.

Here's what I know:

Frost Giant Overseer: Pops in Wakening Lands. He does NOT have a place holder, he has his own unique spawn spot near the laborers. He spawns every 3 RL days. I just stayed in WL invis near the other ones until he popped. He was level 56 at the time, same as me. I stayed in WL claiming him, and waited for people that were passing through WL that could maybe help me. I recruited a 60 Monk, 60 Wizard, and 60 Cleric, and myself, a 56 Ranger at the time. He was not very hard at all. The monk only needed 1 CH, but we did have to pull him away from the Kael zone, because someone was training Wuoshi to Kael zone line at the time.

Kallis Stormcaller: If you're on a raid to kill Vindi, this guy will be pulled and killed, as he blocks the way to Vindi. This guy was yellow to me at 56, but he was like most of the named giants in the arena. Make sure to ask if you can loot his head before the raid starts, so they don't destroy it. Also, this giant spawns every 3 hours, that's what I heard, I haven't verified this.

Protectors of Zek: You must kill the Protectors of Zek with the CAPITAL P. There are only two of them that start with a capital P, and they stand right next to Kallis. Once again, if you are on a raid to kill Vindi, both of these PoZ will be pulled and killed also. BTW these were even to me at 56. Also, these 2 giants spawns every 3 hours, that's what I heard, I haven't verified this.

Hope that info helps. If you have any questions, just reply to this post. BTW the helm is well worth it. ;)

Does anyone know what faction has to be to complete quest? It looks like I am indifferent now, seems like it might take awhile.

I also gave someone buffs and went from amiable to Apprehensive/Dubious in wolf form, Can i still do quest at that faction or must I up faction. If i must up faction what ups my faction in PoG?

anyone know what the effect does?

The quest say that you have to be level 55 to do this quest... but can you still do it if youre higher? live level 58 or sumthing? If not.. I will get a little upset =D

Does anyone know the spawn rates of Kallis and the Protectors?

A group of friend and myself were on our way back from SS after aquiring the key there. Decided to work on our dwarf faction so we set up camp and began pulling Giants from out front next to the zone of Kael.

Checked my track during our down time and saw him. Our Shadow Knight pulled him after a some debate whether or not we can take him on.

Had a lvl 58 Warrior Tank him backed up by his own Shaman on his other computer. My group was mixed Lvl 52 to 46, myself being the lowest.

The guy was a decent fight. Only guy that died was the main tank becasue his Shaman fizzled one heal, poor guy. Found out he was for this quest so I was able to attain it. We had another Ranger in our group but he worshipped Karana.

Guild was just in the Kael Arena area today and I was able to aquire Kallis Stormcaller's head and one of the Protector of Zek's heads. We dropped the other Pro Zek but I was unaware that I needed both, silly me. I'm not to ticked about. I still have four lvl's to get before I can aquire the helm.

Can anyone verify that the Helm can or cannot be worn by Surefall Half Elf Rangers ?

I am having a very difficult time finding the Overseer, if anyone has any information about how to make him spawn or how often he spawns I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks a million

Just finished this quest and here is the scoop.

you need these heads:

Frost Giant Oveerseer
Bloody Protector of Zek
Smashed Protector of Zek
Kallis Stormcaller

This quest can be multi-quested and YOU MUST be level 55 to complete it.

the frost giant Overseer is a rare spawn in WL. His place holder is one of the Normal Frost giant Laborers just in front of the zone into Kael. I took him down with a 59 warrior 54 chanter and 58 cleric and myself it was a pretty easy fight he does not cast, but he summons. he was yellow to me a 55 so maybe level range of 56-58 possibly as high a 60 but not sure on that.

I killed Protector of Zek 3 times but drop Smashed Protector of Zek's Head or Bloody Protector of Zek's Head, so the quest mentioned Crushed Protector of Zek's Head is a rare drop ??
