Befallen was once the site of a wonderful temple, a reclusive home for the monks who maintained it.

Many blame the dark elves for what it has become, but whatever the cause, Befallen is now a home to the undead its inhabitants used to hunt and destroy. Individuals who thrive on these beings have also taken up residence in its halls, necromancers and shadow knights.

Various keys are (were) obtained and required to move to the lower levels of this zone.

Drinal still has New Befallen
# Mar 10 2002 at 11:57 AM Rating: Decent
I have just recently visited befallen with my lvl 19 Rouge to get my lock pick skill up. The last time I was there, only the Loord Skelly gave me experience from the first floor. Now I go in and even the first mobs at the entrance are giving me exp. There are enough Dk. Blues past the first locked door to cause alot more trains then normal too. I accidently dropped hide and was aggroed by 5 mobs that were close to me. Almost killed me, if it weren't for the gracious LoH from a Dwarf Pally.

So, my question is: If our befallen on Drinal is still the new version, does the same loot drop even though you need higher lvl Characters to enter the zone? For that matter, is the loot even worth it for these higher lvl peeps?

I have read that an "Enchanted Fine Steel Morning Star" Drops off the named dark elf at the bottom. However its stats would suggest that the mob that drops this should be much higher (Like the lvl 60+ in kith that also drops it)Can anyone confirm that she does drop the weapon? Thx

First, go print the eqatlas map. Second, start killing the shadowknights. they have the keys to the locked doors. Follow the map back up. BTW, you might want to get help, the sk on level 3 will be tough at your level.

My bf and I have the map, we have the keys, but we still haven't found a way out of the pit/3rd level. We had to gate out him and my corpse. Does anyone know the reallll way to get out?

You have to kill a named SK there. He is at the end of one of the side tunnels where the Hook is. He has the keys you need.

# Dec 15 2001 at 10:13 PM Rating: Decent
My understanding is that some servers have the "old" Befallen and some have the new. Personally I'm on the Tribunal server and am curious which version of Befallen I will experiance.

Any comments on either of my statements is most welcome. Perhaps this is a good place to post which version your server has.

Good hunting

I am Submiting this document to help all of you level 14-16 level up really fast.
Ok, get a group of however many people you would like, Try to get a bard and a cleric, the best couple for this, and go to befallen. Zone.
And when you go in immedietly turn at the first right and hug the wall. Kill the follower, and go into the room to the first right. There will be a long hall, that will be your medding hall, were you restore Hp and Mana. When you are done medding, Go down the rest of the hall and take a right, keep going and you will see a skeleton type thing called a Raised Servant. kill it and medd if you have to in the medding hall, but if not just turn directly around, and go into the door to your right and go straight for the Dark Follower, then the Defiled corpse, Then the skeleton type thingy called the Raised Servant. Medd in the Medding Hall if you have to, and go through the other door. and inside will be a Raised servant, and two defiled corpses. Kill them and go to the medding hall for about 5 minutes or untill everything pops again.
Each one of these are a route and each sould give you about half a bubble untill level 16. Keep doing this and believe me it is worth it. In barely any time (about one half our or so) i made it from level 14 to 16. REALLY GOOD EXP!!!
Good Luck)

As a drawf pally, I owned the 1st and 2nd(lvl 15ish) floor, useing kodiak claws, shiny brass shield(from CB), and other stuff you would aquire from adventuring. I could'nt get past the first door to easly on the third floor, you'll need a good high teens group for third floor action.

It was great when i got my first spells, just cast on a weak skele and when they attack just keep casting until out of mana, then just kill with sword. that said, learning/useing all your spells will help you a lot!

Im pretty sure I hunted in old Befallen, as a dwarf pally i owned(useing my spells, a shiny brass shield i think it was, and kodiak claws) the first and second floor in my low and mid teens. the third floor is much much harder and you'll need a group in the high teens if you want to go farther than the first door.

It was great when I got my first spells plenty of super crappy skeles to practice on. just cast and they will probly attack you, but wont do much damage, keep casting what ever you want till out of mana then just kill it with sword easly. With that said learning/useing all your spells will help you a lot!!
The Reversion of Befallen
# Sep 24 2001 at 11:42 PM Rating: Decent
Well it sounds like Befallen has reverted back to it's original self. I know it has on Xev server and I've heard the same from most of the other servers. I just hope Illia held on to the old zone info since it's now correct again.

I have been hunting Befallen for a couple of weeks now. On Seventh Hammer it is the new Befallen with the DE's. Great xp (if you don't die from trains lol), and the best loot I have found yet. However, I can't seem to get the first key. Is it still in the same place? All I ever find in that room is a reanimated skeleton. Is there a place holder for the key holder? Once by mistake I went past the locked door (it was opened), and as it locked behind me I knew it would be a while before I got my corpse back (and it was lol). Thanks for any help,

The Shadow Knight has the key. The room where the Skele Llrod spawns (the pit is there), just before you hit that there is a door and a room on your right. And a smaller room off of it. He spawns in there. My BF and I killed him twice (with higher level druid friend to keep us alive) me at 12, him at 7. The SK is about 11 or 12th level. He does Harm Touch right off for around 50hp, I think it was. Maybe a little less.
Me and pet took on the SK while cleric (bf) dealt with the pet. SK didn't drop the key both times we killed him, I don't think. We didn't go after him a 3rd time, but I would guess, given need of key, that it is probably a 1 in 2 drop or something fairly common like that. I would guess that he was on a 15 min timer, but I didn't really time it. We killed him, killed other things on floor, kill Llrod, then killed SK again. Didn't notice a place holder.
All this was on Quell. Don't know how it varies server to server.
Veeshan's befallen
# Sep 15 2001 at 6:37 PM Rating: Decent
I've been playing in befallen on the veeshan server for the past two days and the hardest part is the SK's. So, this server is old school Befallen and pretty easy for mid-teens characters. So for those of you that were wondering, there it is...

Old to New, what is the switch?
# Sep 03 2001 at 5:32 PM Rating: Decent
On Morell-Thule, I have seen Befallen go from Old to New to Old to New to Old... This suggests there is some in-game quest switch, possibly connected with the Dark Elf schism - Kithicor faction fighting against Neriak faction - also connected with the DE camps in WC that appear and dissapear coincident to the Befallen switch. When the DE "princess" in the bottom of the New Befallen is freed (and I'm not sure how that is done) Befallen switches back to Old. Any information on which quest is responsible for the switch would be most appreciated.
Anyone Know Why.... ?
# Sep 02 2001 at 3:34 PM Rating: Decent
I play on the Prexus server and was getting great xps from soloing in Befallen as a DE Hangout. Friday night with all the server connection problems, I logged out, only to return about 5 hours later and find that Befallen has reverted back to the Skellie and Giant Rat show. Anyone know why this has happened? I thought there was a storyline with the new Befallen.

I logged on last night and was suprised myself to find that Befallen has gone back to its old self. Maybe they're designing a new Befallen? In my opinion, I think the drastic change of pace in putting all the DE's there was too much for all the newbies who loved to hunt there.
Second Key LOCATION of spawn
# Aug 26 2001 at 11:40 PM Rating: Excellent
Key holder is Aeska, a DE SK.

Her spawn location is NOT the pit room where the old keyholder spawned, but in a room on the way there. The second room from the hallway at the bottom of the spiral stairs, on the right.

Have fun!

What's Going on with Befallen?
# Aug 23 2001 at 3:43 PM Rating: Default
I liked the old Befallen. It was the best place for a dark elf cleric to hunt before they changed it. But then then made it into this chaotic mess where you can't survive if you're still able to get experience from the mobs. People over level 50 were dying on the top floor!! So I moved to North Ro to look for a derv group.

A few levels later a young cleric friend starts hunting there. I was baffled at how his lvl 14 cleric was soloing the second floor of deadly Befallen when a lvl 49 necro friend was slain there near the entrance. Until I go check it out. They changed it back to the way it was before!! No dark elves on the top floor--just a bunch of skellies that were green to a little lvl 12 chanter.

A few levels later my cleric friend starts complaining that they messed up Befallen. I go with her to check it out. Lo and behold, it was back to necros and sks on the top floor, but not quite as nasty as they used to be.

What's going on here? Is Verant confused about what they're doing with this zone?


RE: What's Going on with Befallen?
# Aug 24 2001 at 1:06 AM Rating: Decent
They changed the new Befallen back to the old Befallen and then back to the new befallen. =)

Oh, I'm level 31 and I can solo near the area where the third key drops, so it is do-able.

Hope that clears things up a little...

The dagger is dropped off of 'a thurmatoligist'. Got it just last night my self on The Nameless. The thurmatoligist who was wielding it also had on Goss robes when we killed her. it was a pretty rough fight for a 16 pally and 16 cleric. I had to LoH and she was OOM. We both had about 2 bubs of life left after the fight. there was the thurmo, her pet, and an Icebone spawned when we attacked.

The Thurmo that we killed was a female Eruidite, not sure if it's always like that, but the dagger was visable in the fight.

Not sure,

If yu get a partner or two, you might be able to hold the area just past the first locked door, as mobs there still gave exp to me at lvl 25.

This of course is the new Befallen I'm talking about and now I'm hunting further down away from help....
Does the mallet *head* still drop from the Elf Skellie? And
# Aug 19 2001 at 4:17 PM Rating: Default
On the Bertoxx server, we still have the "new" Befallen, which can be a firehose of XP for mid-20s if you can take a room on the 3rd floor...

But two questions.

First: I seem to reliably get the Thex Mallet hilt from the Elf skellie, but I have yet to see the head drop. Does it still drop from him? And why doesn't the bastige spawn more often? (grin).

Second: I was in the zone whene there was a message to the effect of "the Baron removes the veil of invisibility from Lanys T'Vyl's corpse...". Wot th' devil was that about? Any details on the quest?

Again I was in befallen last night, and the 'elf skeleton' droped the head for me, i have yet to get the hilt. he was red to a 16th, but not to hard of a fight for me and my cleric.
A bit of strategy...
# Aug 17 2001 at 10:43 PM Rating: Decent
Well I have taken all my characters in there to level and the good loot! Anyway I go LATE at night and I have the place to myself when I feel like soloing. An occasional high level comes in for the named mummy for the mullet quest. I kill the same 3 mobs, the 2 at the top, and 1 on the left side bottom stairs. The one on the right I never touch when alone.. he has a tendacy to run off when attacked and gets all his friends involved. FUN. In a group now that is different, we usually kill everything on the floor and then stay in the key room. the exp is great and the loot isin't too bad! Many a times I've ran errr walked out of there encumbered with GP and SP.. It never fails that someone that has never been there attacks the right bottom and I automatically run for the zone...

What uncrowded.....
# Aug 17 2001 at 6:28 PM Rating: Decent
Im getting ready to switch to a less crowded server than the one I am now on. Im starting a new character and am looking for a not so crowded servrt with the DE befallen because it is one of my favorite places to lvl in my mid teens. What would be a good server for this. I want to make sure I don't join a server with the old befallen. Thanx in advance for any response.
RE: What uncrowded.....
# May 01 2002 at 1:56 PM Rating: Decent
For an uncrowded Befallen you might wanna try Xegony server. I have been there for about a week or so now and unless I gather some of my guildies together to raid, there might be one or two others in Befallen. But that is just my observation.

I don't think any servers carry the old befallen anymore, now we're stuck with the souped up death-like befallen from hell ;). As for finding an unpopulated server just hit the "players online" button in the server selection screen in Eq itself. Just don't play on Saryn. Befallen is my playground =)

New Befallen Info
# Aug 16 2001 at 5:39 PM Rating: Default
A friend of mine (48 necro) and I (45 sk) decided to check out this dungeon the other day.

We didn't have any problems but it has changed a bunch. Here is what we found:

The spawn rate is CRAZY. Most mobs seem to spawn in 5-8 minutes. It is not uncommon for a new mob to spawn before it's corpse pops.

The named spawn a little slower (maybe 20 minutes).

I had the 1st key in the bank so we didn't have to camp it.

The 2nd key drops on the 2nd floor(in the room with the rounded north wall) off of a named caster.

The 3rd key drops where the ogre sk was(behind the 2nd door) off of a named monk type guy.

We got a couple guardian daggers(off guardians). A ton of Pristine dropped off of the casters on the 3rd floor(no drop so we left it). We got a couple nice no drop necklaces off of the sk type across the hall from the 2nd door.

On the 3rd floor are a couple named spawns and now Cmdr Windstream spawns every 10-15 minutes and drops the container for the THEX mallet every time.

We killed everything on that level except for the captive (could find anything to free her).

Oh .. PP is crazy. I picked up about 200 pp (or equiv. in gp) in about 2 hours and maybe 50 various gems.

Hope this helps.
