Heh, did this as a lvl 62, and they ALL conned yellow. (Tactics flagged since 54 :p)

Do you really think SOE would just tell you which one is the real one? There is no way they would let him con red while the rest con blue to a 65.

spawn time?

Ok...so I pretty much understand the strategy, but the real question is WHEN IS THIS GUY UP? This is becoming a major bottle neck for me as I have TZ and RZ. :(
RE: spawn time?
# Jun 30 2004 at 5:55 AM Rating: Decent
He is on a 12-14 hour spawn
RE: spawn time?
# Oct 24 2004 at 6:28 AM Rating: Decent
almost all pop is 3 day spawn, with the exception of time which is 6 . possibly wrong on time but the rest is def 3 days not 12-14 hours
Downed 6/10/04
# Jun 10 2004 at 1:13 AM Rating: Default
downed today on Drinal with 68 peps, was open raid so it was quite overkill, had 4 monks work the fakes to make sure that we knew which was which, then we had MT(named agro) aagro the real VZ and then we would monk split the fakes and kill them off one by one, it was very fast and easy. Dropped 4SP, 1GRW and Belt and Sword.
farming

yes i did it tonight i killed this guy with a friend who farms him we did it very easily with 8 people, sence vz cant be tracked its easy to keep ur spawn time a secret and wipe him every 3 days till u get the drops u want
RE: farming
# May 17 2004 at 11:48 AM Rating: Decent
a secret huh?
6?
# May 13 2004 at 7:34 PM Rating: Default
I heard that he was killed regualarely by 6-9 people. So regularely that they are "farming" him. None of these, between 6 and 9, people are elemental geared. Is this even possible? please do tell =)
Pulling VZ

Havent seen anyone mention this yet. The real VZ is faster than his clones. So you kill the real VZ then when his copys spawn you get a monk or something to aggro them all. Then run around untill the real VZ is out of assist range from the copys. Then you can choose to pull and kill the four copys, or you can pull the real VZ and kill him and keep splitting him from the newly spawned copys as above. Another note is that of the copys one is always mezzable (you have to figure out by casting on them all) so you only need to tank three at a time. Forgive me if he has been changed and my information invalidated, it has been a while.

This encounter is relatively simple if you have the force.
Basically move youre raid force to a corner, pull VZ. Once VZ is dead 5 gimper versions of him will pop in center of room, use a monk / rogue / nec / eye to have 5 tanks /assist so they each have one, pull them all at the same time and have a tank on each, have everyone assist MT till all are dead, repeat, takes 10 or so mins tops.
BS and run

I just Backstabed this guy and ran and lived! I 65 rogue with SoS and escape snuck up behind him and BSed clicked my couter disk and then escaped. he hit me a total of 3 times all for under 1k His DoT did almost get me but I clicked my new Healing disc and sat down. Disc kept me alive long enough for DoT to fade. Not many can say they BSed a god solo and lived.

Vallon Zek is a god. He's a lesser god than Rallos, but a god nonetheless.

Some info about this mob

I've only assisted in killing this mob once, so some of this info may be wrong or mixed up. If so please forgive me.

2-3 groups could do this mob, more for extra DPS or bodies is nice.

Once you get into the room, head to one of the corners, the room mobs spawn on a 20 min or so timer so you probably will have to clear the room unless you do it fast or brute force see below.

VZ he does an AE curse (which didn't seem to be cured with RC1, but I might be wrong - as well as I tried a number of remove curses and cures. RC1 did cure it the last fight, but the cleric may have RC3’d also). When you get VZ down to about 80% (not sure the %) and he despawns and respawns in the middle of the room with 4 'fakes' they are all full health and can only tell them apart from the damage they deal 2-300's vs 8-900's.

There are 4 options I see to kill them when they pop in the middle (if you killed them in the corner they wont agro you right off so you have time to rezz, heal, buff, med).

Option 1 pull them apart (not sure how, monk FD, pathing?) if you can pull 1-3 of them its not as bad as dealing with the real one with 4 others, pull them into the corner, trying to save the real one for last as once the real one is killed 4 more with the real one will spawn in the middle again).

Option 2 pull from the middle and have enchanters mezz them (not sure if they are mezzable, but think so). you want at least 4 enchanters and assistance to keep them alive to best do this.

Option 3 Pull from the middle and kill the horde, need good DPS and good organization as it can be easy fighting 5 mobs for people to drop, though they don't hit real hard.

Option 4 This is for the crazy's (IMHO) fight them in the middle, you need to be very organized and somewhat lucky to be able to kill them, with this option you will get no rest time inbetween kills, but if you can do it then you will get the fight over fast (one way or another).

After you kill the first one and they pop in the middle, him and 4 ‘fakes’ will pop in the middle. After you kill the ‘Real one’ him and 4 more fakes will spawn in the middle (you can kill the 4 fakes and leave him for last, or kill him first and have 8 fakes and him to deal with (again they spawn in the middle of the room and the sides don’t draw agro)) the 2nd fake one despawns when he is about 70% health and this happens for a total of 4 waves, I think the 3rd he’s at 60% and the 4th is till he’s dead.

All in all, it’s really not a hard fight. Like most fights in PoTactics, this fight is won by fighting it smart. Hope some of this info helps and good luck.

Anyone have any idea what the spawn timetable is for Vallon? Seems like Tallon comes up regularly, but Vallon is impossible to find. Any idea?
#REDACTED, Posted: Sep 29 2003 at 7:18 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) OMG, there of 5 of these guys in the same fight? This guy will be tought to kill, but I have taken 5 fire beetles before. If I get in trouble I will run him to the guards. So, where is "Drunder, Fortress of Zek" anyway?
#REDACTED, Posted: Sep 29 2003 at 7:16 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Forgot to ask, how do you get to him?

"Vallon Zek is a master tactician dubbed the Governor of War and, with his alter ego Tallon Zek, resides on the Plane of War with Rallos Zek. Vallon's manifestation is that of an older, muscular, physically strong male orc-like figure who wears blackened chain covered by an emerald and black cloak. His appearance is that of a regal general at arms, upright and stern, wise and aristocratic. At his belt, he bears a silvery sabre, which he has been said to wave when explaining tactics to others."

Vallon Zek is EASY. Definitely a two-group mob with the right group make-up and gear.

Astral Projection Flag
# Apr 29 2003 at 9:49 AM Rating: Decent
Okay, my guild killed Tallon and Vallon Zek last night. I got the flags from the Astral Projection that pop'd after the mobs were dead. Tonight I'll go talk with the librarian and see what happens. In case anyone knows what these flags are for, please follow up to this post. I'm guessing that they are the same flags needed to enter the elemental planes (i.e. the same as given by Rallos Zek).
RE: Astral Projection Flag
# Jul 02 2003 at 10:33 AM Rating: Good
These two flags are part of the flags required for Tower of Solesk Ro. They do not replace the flags given by Rallos Zek for the elemental planes. To gain access to Sol Ro, you need Saryrn, MM, and these two. To get Saryrn you need Bertox.

Got my Saryrn flag before Bertoxx. Then some running back and forth between PoK and PoT sick bay "unlocking memories".
RE: Astral Projection Flag
# Dec 08 2003 at 9:21 PM Rating: Good
There has been some confusion in the progression added by backflagging - so let me be much more specific.

You can get a checklist flag from Saryrn before getting Bertox - you cannot get Saryrn's flag. To get a checklist flag, you must have at least 1 person in the raid who has completed Bertox and post flagging. Tylis (the prisoner you encounter on your way to Saryrn) will not port you into the Keeper of Sorrows sub-event unless you have completed the Bertox flag. However, if 1 person in the raid has completed Bertox, that person can talk to Tylis and get the entire raid ported.

You can skip the Keeper of Sorrows and kill just Saryrn - but that is not terribly usefull unless you already have the Keeper of Sorrows flag.

With those qualifications - my original statement stands. To get Saryrn's flag, you need Bertox.

To get Saryrn you also need Grummus. The Flag NPC in PoT wont flag you without.
