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.

i just went to befallen today and killed everything i saw for about 2 hours.... the only dark elf i saw was the SK.... is it just on certain servers that it's changed over or something cause it's exactly the same as i remember it...

Please do not hit the guy at the bottom right of the entrance/platform/stairs. If you do, make sure he does not get a chance to run away. He will pull all mobs on the level and make quite the nasty train angering surrounding PC's...

I have been all over looking for the spawns of any shadow knights dropping keys without luck. I have been all over the 1st and 2nd floor without any knowledge of why nobody knows where keys drop. I can only camp the same area as when i was lvl 17 and was there. Back then there was much less aggro and a lot easier ways to get keys rither then begging for somebody to please open the door for you. Also be careful near where the 3rd key used to drop, two of my group members jumped onto that rooms rock to med and got stuck in the celing. Please help me out and tell me what is up with the new Befallen changes.

I don't think Lanys T,vyl is ever coming here or if she is shes really rare. She is the daugher of hate and is probably if put in, a 60 shadow knight or something, she has her own server for gods sake. this is a 1-30 zone. This might be like moyang mistmorre in mistmorre type of spawn.

Heads Up on Befallen
# Aug 15 2001 at 1:44 PM Rating: Default
1)After reading several newspapers of Norrath i was awere that Lanys T`Vyl had taken over.
2)All the mobs have changed (except Gynok) and are much higher level such as Guardian of T`Vyl.
3)EVERYTHING attacks you!!!
4)Geography and Keys are the same.
5)There are many NPCs that are not on the bestiary but are in the zone.
6)All the good loot is no drop so far.
7)Where's Lanys T`Vyl???
8)There is one DEF NPC on the third floor that is behind the secret wall throught the right tunnel. She cons indifferent (though i already sent pet in) and shes green to 50. She did not change her stance with me from indiff to threatning, although pet was attacking her. Pet seemd to do no damage so i called it off, and she did not even attack back at all AND was still indiff. I hailed her and she said nothing, but the text said that she raised her head with a cold look on her face, although her eyes were red, as if fueled with rage. Could she have something to do with Lanys T`Vyl? The DEF female could have something to do with Lanys. It sounds really out there but she could be Lanys T`Vyl or a PH, Cold face and stare: Betrayed by her people, and eyes fueled with Rage (red eyes BTW): The want for revenge.
9)I have been through almost the entire dungeoun and nothing in there but her that sparks my intrest. I dont see the Thamaturgist or Priest Amiaz, and the SKs are not called SKs, they are named and are uncommon spawns.

Pristine Items....
# Aug 08 2001 at 10:07 AM Rating: Decent
I am curious. I have been through the listings of Items on this site and have seen the Pristine Items that are listed and I would like to get a hold of all if not some of them. I have read most of but not all of the messages on this message board about Befallen. I am on the Server Vallon Zek and am wondering if the Pristine Items are still being dropped in Befallen. If they are not being dropped anymore could someone please update the item lists so that people don't go down there hoping to get them and surprise oh we are sorry we don't drop those anymore. I was in Befallen for two days(weekend) died 3 times which you expect, but never saw one pristine item.

Thanks for your time....

We were in on Tholuxe last night for about 3 hours and 2 Pristines dropped (legs and arms). They seemed to drop off Guardians but I can't really confirm it since there were quite a large number of mobs at the time.

Although no Dagger of Marnek dropped when we camped the Thaumaturgists room. (Got lots of robes though). On Priest spawned there and did drop the wand too.

The Cleric quest related NPC different name then we had listed from quest information but the idol or whatever dropped for our Cleric.

listen up people, i dont know about other servers but befallen is abit different on at least eci now, there are dark followers, necros, scarred innitiates, defiled corpses, ghouls, darkbone skeles and a bunch of new sh*t only on the first floor now i havent gotten up any further but befallen has changed now, they all pretty close to the same lvls but a little bit tougher

Last night myself and a couple of pals went to camp the first floor SK for the key to the first door. This guy used to spawn every 20 minutes or so, but we spent nearly 3 HOURS there and did not see him once. Dark followers and reinimated corpses(?) did spawn where he should have in the bedroom and we were killing them thinking they were placeholders, but to no avail. Can anyone clarify if he does still spawn?

RE: Roobles
# Aug 07 2001 at 11:07 AM Rating: Default
Yes, but a rare spawn. Not sure on spawn rate. I was there for 3 hours and never saw him. Then next day went to room and he was there and got the key and when leaving area killed holder of the second key, was trained on me, and had both 1st and 2nd keys in less than 5 min. WOOT

Have to disagree with you there. The New Befallen (Dark Elf Stronghold) is great. Good Experience, Good loot and fun.

Every death I have seen have resulted only from 2 factors: Being Trained or being the idiot that causes the train.

Its so nice to see a zone that you actually have to think about your approach. It takes stratagy to make this zone work (you just can run in and hack n slash your way around).

If you hate Befallen, you are going to hate about 90% of the dungeon environments.

Personally I say 'Bravo Verant.' I would have Never ventured into the old Befallen. I have been camping Befallen for almost 2 weeks now. I will probably hang out for another 2 levels.


RE: Ruined It
# Aug 03 2001 at 10:31 AM Rating: Default
What a bunch of NINNY's! Why is it that only the evolutionaly superior can deal with change? The happenings in Befallen are due to STORYLINE!!!! We all play this game because it is a fantasy world based on STORYLINE. It would get very old to play the same game forever, be grateful that VI is making the game a challenge.
Who cares if a lvl 42 dies from all the green agros, good. You should be smart enough at lvl 42 to not get into that situation in the first place! The zone is not ruined, it is updated along with story line, they have added some nice loot (which is why all you high levels are farming, and its good to see you dying sometimes too for your arrogance) which makes the zone worthwhile, not to mention the xp is still great.

Deal with it you children.
RE: Ruined It
# Aug 05 2001 at 2:22 AM Rating: Decent
Well I do think you are right about the story line and how this game would start to get a little old but theres not a lot to farm here the blackend wand and dagger of marckent or what ever are the only things that are not no drop. A little hard to farm the other stuff but other wise you have a good point. And I was camping Gynok Moltor for the plat ring in the old befallen one day next day it was the new one and it was hard I was invis the hole time. But I now have the ring and a few minutes later I had the gold ring and now I have the paw of opolla

Sorry to disagree with you, but the fact that all monsters attacks you regardless of your level is very irritating, and makes the little quest for SK (the Thex Mallet) looks like a real nightmare. On the other hand, the loot, even on the lowest monsters, become really impressive. You can now make a lot of money in no time, like in CT.

Greetings,

About the best word to describe this new zone is ZERG. As a level 31 Rogue, I can wander without difficulty anywhere in the old befallen, however, with this new befallen, I have to be careful in the great hall.

As soon as I zoned in this morning, I was greeted by 4 dark followers, a level 14 - 18 rogue, a level 16 - 18 chanter, and two level 14 - 18 mages w/pet. I survived with only a single bulb of health.

The rogue was wielding dual rusty daggers and was hitting for about 20 - 25 per hit with a backstab of 110.

The chanter opened with tashan, followed by a charm, which thankfully I resisted, followed by 3 color flux's. He was wielding a cracked staff and hitting for about 17 - 20.

One of the two mages kept trying to root me and the other kept nuking me with either fire or cold. Both had damage shields up and both had cracked staves, hitting for about 19 - 23.

I bandaged up to half and was immediately set upon by the same basic mobs. I eneded up zoning and re-bandaging outside the zone. Once up at full I went back in and immediately did a sneak and hide to start scouting. At least one of the mobs saw through my sneak and hide and I had to fight the above group one more time, thankfully another rogue showed up to aid me.

The third time around, I used sneak pulling to try taking them down one at a time, which worked well. Finally I get past the locked door, sneaking and hiding the whole time and con'ing everything. It seems that the mobs on the first floor can see invis, but none of the others, with the possible exception of the Vortex Callers.

I grouped with a 37 SK down in the Elf Skele room and we prety much went where we wanted on the third floor. The majority of the mobs we killed on the third floor dropped bronze weapons, a couple gold, and gems. LOTS OF GEMS HERE.

As for strategy here. like most dungeons, if you visit them at the level they are designed for a chanter is a must. These mobs seem to have about double the normal aggro range and use an old starcraft tactic to take you down. They zerg BIG TIME.

As soon as you enter, have the tank pull the four mobs in the great hall, as soon as they are grouped, the chanter should stun/mez as many as possible. The first mob to focus on is either the chanters or clerics, and I have seen a couple in the great hall already, followed by the mages. Leave the pets for last.

Once you clear the great hall, move to the first hallway on the right as you enter. This will make a good pull area for most lower level groups and does not require a key to enter. Again, in here you want to use the chanter stun/mez routine to clear this room. Now be very careful in here as the spawn time is about 3 - 7 minutes.

With a group that is capable of working the second floor, I recommend using room on the left when you get to the T-junction as your pull point. The spawn time here seems to be roughly 5 - 10 minutes and the Arisen Knights drop some decent bronze loot. Do be careful though, I found two of the AK's where SK's not just normal warriors.

I hope these help.

Has anyone ever found a Robe of the Primordial Ritualist if so could you post the information of what creature drops it and what level a magician would have to be to get it with a cleric helping.
RE: Robes
# Jul 28 2001 at 7:08 PM Rating: Default
Pretty sure that the mob that drops this is Primordial Ritualist Zveir. He's about a lvl 30 cleric with some pretty nice armor graphics (all gold). I killed him with a bit of trouble cause I wasnt prepared for him(half mana) he casts and heals alot, so took longer than I would have liked - got me down to 2/5 health (conned green - no exp). Didn't drop anything for me, and I killed him twice. Haven't been on since last possible zone change again, so don't know if hes still there. Spawns in the farthest east room from the big room on lvl 3.

What were the stats on the plat ring and was it a lore item. If it looked like a jagged band and was lore with some crappy stats. It might me the platinum ring for the paw of opolla. If thats the case is not a crappy ring, it will pull 1k in auction.

You were right about the ring I just sold it for 1.5 k on Sol Ro to a desperate person. I was lucky that I still had it in my bank :). I had to ask around about it though. And it did have the Jagged Band look too.

The ring seems to have dropped some in auction price, least on my server. I'm in Xegony, went into Befallen once before it changed to gather bone chips & Gynok was dead at the foot of the stairs, had the ring on him. Didn't know what it was for until I asked guildmates on /gu. Anyway, since I've got it offered to sell it for 1k whenever in GFay & no one wants, even dropped to 800pp. No biggie to me though, can keep it until someone wants it bad enough I guess. *shrug* I'd sell it dirt cheap but with a monk as my main I need the cash. :CP If anyone on Xegony is lookin' for one & sees Harik on send me a tell.
