Being entirely underwater, Kedge Keep can be a difficult zone to deal with. You will want some breathing apparatus and a few friends along your side. This dungeon is home to Phinigel Atropos, the leader of the Kedge and one of the most sought-after targets in all of Norrath.

Well I read here all the comments about coming in groups of 45-50's and such, and I can see why. I am a 38 Pally and well, I can only get as far as the door, the swordfish pokes can be a tad heinous when you agro like 4 of em.
The main reason for this post is to express severe dissatisfaction with the cultural armor augment stuff.
As a Dwarf, this is where you have to come to get your expert pattern book. Kill 40 Mermaids? Was someone smoking on this one? I mean really, I can't even find enough jade shards to make augments for journeyman, now I have to kill 40 mermaids that average 40th level? To get expert pattern book, yes the drops are more common for the augments, but by the time you do all this, the armor is basically obsolete and you have bits and pieces of stuff. Not well thought out at all, the whole cultural armor idea needs to be completly revamped. I have spent countless days hunting for shards .. got one. Goblins, Tentacle Terrors (Nice Knockbacks btw). So I took advice of someone and they said well how bout just go for expert augments. Ok I tried that, now look 40 mermaids to kill, when I can wear the armor at what 36th? When I can't even kill one to get the augments? BackAssWards. Anyway very cool zone, but highly dangerous to lower levels.

Note: The comment below about swims with fishes. Enough said about mermaids.

Its a fun zone, if you learn it. Too bad the UBER drops in here are outdated now. Tough for a rogue though, hard to backstab when the mobs is being knocked behind ya and no sneak/hide in here

mermaids are quite hard for lvl 45ish. wiped my group of 10 on them when suprise attacked....not cool...and CR's in this zone, blow to say the least. be careful...bring a chanter with you, and i would suggest a monk to pull..or someone who swims well....just posting this cuz it pissed me off that my group of 10 ppl ranging from 52 - 61 got raped like noobs on these.

Very sorry, after reading the post I might clarify that. These USELESS buffs need to be cast 1st 'BEFORE' EB & the other buffs you don't want dispelled. Dispelling works in the same order you were buffed. 1st buffed=1st dispelled provided it hasn't worn off on its own. Sorry for vagueness. Good luck all.

# Dec 17 2002 at 10:45 AM Rating: Decent
I thought they changed it so that dispell is random now, and that it no longer matters what order you buff in.

Best bet is to get an EB item. It's worth it.
RE: ADD ON
# Jan 18 2003 at 6:29 PM Rating: Default
Correct. Dispell is now random. They find my C3 no matter where I hide it. :o)

DISPELL THIS
# Oct 21 2002 at 12:22 PM Rating: Decent

Hello all, just a quick reminder tip after reading all these posts about EB getting dispelled and people drowning in combat. During combat with mobs that like to dispell give them crap to dispell. LOL. What I'm saying is before entering Kedge have useless buffs cast on the group..ie. see invis etc. buffs that last a while but have no real purpose except to hold space for dispelling. When you are dispelled THESE spells will be removed first while EB and your other buffs will remain hopefully long enough to renew these sacraficial spells that hold no use in this dungeon. Good luck and hope this tip helps out.

If you're a melee fighter like myself, you may want to practice underwater fighting beofre coming here, something as simple as fighting the pond sturgeons in LOIO to get the feel of how high above/below you can can hit them ,and get used to controlling your position. It's a little tricky. Suggest first person view, it will help you to see how high up or down you're pointing.

Also, if you don't have an EB item, keep an eye on your EB... first raid I was on to this zone with my guild, we lost more people to drowning than to mobs! Ironically, one of the people who died was a mage who had just given me 8 summoned waterstones (but apparently forgot to keep one for himself!)

They Revamped this zone, entrance mobs drop a 20/15 rogue dagger a 90/27 2hs procs CH pally sword procs ALOT some people are soloing Aten Ha Ra with it. it also makes you immune yo every spell in the game including DT. theres also Ultra Gigantic Staff of Slaughter right click manaburn with flowing thought 32k unsta cast insta recast all/all and adds 32k mana. also drops cloth shawl with so much ac that it covers up the screen. Phinny is no triggered has 1hp and doesnt fight back. the entrance mobs have 4hp and dont fight back. the boss has 90 quadrillion hp flurrys and rampages every round for 1200. he drops every item in the game even gm items. when you kill him you turn into kerafyrm and your chat bar is spammed with I LIKE CHEESE 100 times.






Point of this post, this zone isnt all about loot its fun to.

Very funny you had me going until I read "90/27" and "procs CH"..

I did notice a couple new mobs in here, a Priestess of somesuch and something else too, both yellow to me at 51. Anybody know who they are?
mez and slow
# Jul 16 2002 at 6:45 AM Rating: Excellent
I just left kedge and thought I'd let you all know exactly what mobs you can do what to. Phinny can't be mez'd but can be slowed. The swirlspine seahorses cannot be mez'd but can be slowed. The swirlspine gaurdians can be mez'd but cannot be slowed. I hope this helps. I got ate a couple times figuring this out. apparently phinny don't like rapture.

Auraline
# Jun 27 2002 at 10:37 AM Rating: Decent
Auraline is a blue to 58 enchanter that spawns near Estrella's room, conned indifferently, leads me to believe she's for some sort of quest, didn't aggro at all while we killed Estrella right next to her
RE: Auraline
# Jul 03 2002 at 10:27 AM Rating: Decent
Group of us killed her last night. She was blue to me at 52 and was no particular threat. She dropped nothing. Also I didn't appear to take a faction hit (no message), but I am now apprehensive to her. I was originally indifferent. I found that quite strange.

I'm assuming shes a quest npc?

A Kedge
# May 11 2002 at 10:42 AM Rating: Default
I've heard on other websites of a mob actually called a Kedge, some sort of squid. Does this mob actually exist, or was it taken out after beta or something?
RE: A Kedge
# Jun 01 2002 at 7:03 PM Rating: Default
Phinny himself is the last of the Kedge, a race of sentient underwater creatures whose home was Kedge Keep.

I seem to recall talk of possibly adding a lost tribe of kedge and possibly even making kedge a playable race (requiring enduring breath items when *not* in the water) but I don't remember if that was just players or if someone from VI was involved. Maybe an old Ask the Archmage column?
Fun but dangerous.
# Apr 03 2002 at 11:54 AM Rating: Decent
Kedge Keep...wow. This is one of the more interesting zones in EQ. Underwater fighting is very nice. The mobs are hard but well worth the effort. Decent experience throughout, and the named mobs do indeed drop nice loot. This zone is dangerous however. Make sure you have a map and know what you are doing/pulling. I would not try to solo any mobs in this zone until 37-40 depending on your class. Most but not all mobs can't see through invis. For a safe hunting spot to pull to, try the second floor down in the east room. No mobs spawn here and you can pull from the large room to in here. Word of caution, don't use AE spells as killer mobs are below this room and will come charging up at you. Cauldronbubble at lvl 49 will not be pleased when you try to hit some fish with an AE spell and he gets stung. Anything below the 2nd floor requires a higher lvl group from about lower 40's to high 40's. Also, some mobs can cast dispell on you and you will lose your enduring breath and will drown. Mostly the named mobs are the casters, however mermaids can cast root etc. If organized this zone can provide hours of good exp, decent-awesome loot, and lots of fun. Enjoy!
The Hammerhead
# Dec 23 2001 at 10:25 AM Rating: Decent
As soon as i entered the zone I was attacked by a couple of hammerheads. I was just wondering if they are always near the zone?
RE: The Hammerhead
# Apr 03 2002 at 11:58 AM Rating: Decent
No hammerheads are not usually near zone entrance. They were probably trained there before you arrived and were waiting around. The zone entrance is fairly safe to enter. Mobs will not wander into the little hall. The 1st floor mobs stay in the large room area. Recommend pulling your mobs into the little hall.

Edited, Wed Apr 3 11:55:28 2002
RE: The Hammerhead
# Jun 17 2002 at 10:03 PM Rating: Default
Yes, there is one cauldron hammerhead that spawns at the zone. I logged on my bard to fetch a corpse with no one else in the zone the entire time. Nothing at the zone was up as I came in. After retrieving it, go figure, the hammerhead just happens to be waiting at the zone. Currently I'm waiting for him to Leave so I can get a rez.

Not much see's invis here. Estrella does, Phinny does, as do their respective guards. Nothing else I've conned on my way around has.

And if you're doing a raid for druid epic. Do yourself a favor and do it with as few people as you know you safely can. It's exponentially slower when you have to stop every 2 seconds to invis someone again or succor because something aggro'd.

You might be able to charm one fish but it would not last long enough to be effective. Then you would have two angry fish impaling you. And at your level you would not last long.
