Posted: Jan 02 2004 at 1:29 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Today, 1-1-2004 an open raid of 70 ppl on the karana server completed the bertoxx event! With a bit of luck and a lot of skill we succeeded. We started the event really shakey but as things progressed we started to work together. At the end we had about 15 minutes when bertoxx actually spawned, engaged, nearly wiped but he died with about half the raid force still alive.

Im pretty sure we had 9min left on bertox, but he depopped right was we was gonna engage... Did others experience this or do we need a new stopwatch? hehe

First off let me tell you that this encounter is hell, definitely the hardest encounter excluding Rallos Pre-elemental, Bert doesn't have AE rampage as some people say, instead his melee range reaches ALL the way across his room, so it may seem that the rampage is AE, but it isn't that I noticed. The AE is a pain cause it can drain cleric mana fast, try to avoid it, easy to do because there are walls, the kings in the event can be quite hard too, they have that horrible 3500 proc that the mobs in carprin cycle have. Bert hits around 2k, and the event only lasts 2 hours from when the spectre dies. Expect adds during the fight, not part of script, but they wander through there.
EDIT:The AE doesn't reach max melee range, or anything past that, plan accordingly.

Two questions: Are people killing Bert in the room he spawns or pulling to the room where the last mini died? Are people walling the mob or trying to hold out of the wall for ranged attacks?

For reference:
Bertoxxulous is a triggered event. The NPC that triggers him is the Spectre Of Corruption. This NPC respawns 3 days after the death of Bertoxxulous, or if the event is failed, 4-6 hours after the failure.
Once the Spectre is dead, you have 2 hours to complete the event or you fail. I believe that if you have bertoxx engaged when the timer hits, he will not depop, but I'm not 100% sure on this.
The event itself consists of an absolute truckload of Corrupted Knights / Necromancers Of Decay/ Priests of Decay / etc, and a series of 12 progressively harder named mobs (the various xxx Adan mobs in the Beastiary). Some of names have some downright NASTY procs and AE's (5k lifetap is a nasty one).
Hell of a fun event thou.

Bert does indeed despawn after the 2-hour time limit has passed whether he is engaged or not. We got to him two days ago and pulled him to the kill spot, the MT engaged, started positioning him for the kill, and he promptly poofed on us with some smart-azz remark about us not being powerful enough.
Word of advice to anyone trying Bert is to not waste any time during the event. Don't wait to pull the Adan's if you have one or two people dead. Make sure everyone knows what the plan of attack is before you start the event. Waste no time with lengthy explanations while the event is underway. Once you kill the trigger you must ensure that everyone is all business and you minimize downtime in anyway possible.
Though we were all proud of the fact that we were able to make it through the ring to Bert, it still stings having watched him just poof on us after all that work.

It took Four tries for Obsidian Coven on Cazic Thule. First Try, had Bert spawn on top of us. Lesson Learned. Refine Tactics...Second Try, Problem Pulling last King to our designated Kill Spot. Time Elapsed. Refine Tactics...Third Try, Early Wipe due to pulling Error (Dumb Mistake or Dumb Luck your choice)..Time Elapsed. Fourth Try, Tactics resolved, 35 Minutes on Timer when BERT Spawned with a raid force of 68. Pulled BERT to Bert Kill Camp, MA did not have sufficient Agro, and Bert agrod Clerics (Heal Agro)...one by one they fell creating a chain reaction...Disappointed but with 9 Minutes still left on timer we decided to try...Rez'd Raid, Buffed up very efficiently, allot less apprehensive pilots of their toons, flawless re-pull of Bert...MA and Rampage Tank got the job done sufficiently, Bert Fell with maybe one or two deaths do to Enrage.
Moral of this story is, Bertoxx puts his pants on the same way you and I do...one leg at a time. A tight CH Chain and Spell shield on MA, he’s not Difficult. Do what you have done for the last 60 some odd levels over the last 2 or 3 years and don’t be overly cautious.
The Majority of Guilds that I know of have little or no success the first try or two. Often it takes guilds several real tries to refine tactics and get the kill. Don’t be disappointed, all good things come with a bit of hard work and a few failures. But the best feeling I have had in EQ is after a few weeks of failures on a specific event or MoB, sitting back trying to refine a better strat, and finally the effort pays off. Well worth the price of admission.
Some good info. If you Work the majority of the Kings at the Zone In room, make sure to have a pre assigned Bert Camp in one of the far Dead Ends from the Zone. As Bert Spawns at ZI on the last king kill, you don’t want to be anywhere around it. Make sure your people each know and have rehearsed where to go just before the last King, with so many Random Mobs you will lose half the raid party before you even engage last king if they get lost (Note- Prior to Starting the Event CODB Has only the Ring Trigger Mob in it, take this opportunity to run around and learn where your Camps will be). Pull last King to BERT Kill Camp, Spawn Bert, Pull and Win!
Bert is definitely one of the Harder Pre Elemental Flagging Boss’s we’ve killed….but I think he was more in our heads like a good hockey team does to an opposing Goalie, once we got some shots under our belts and got a bit ticked off we kicked his ***….

About Glodin's post, he was a bit incorrect and I know we all don't want to see incorrect info floating around.
You do not kill Rallos Zek in Tower of Solusek Ro, you kill Rallos Zek in Plane of Tactics (A.K.A. Drunder), the boss you kill in Tower of Solusek Ro is Solusek Ro.

"Bertoxxulous has no allies. His followers often follow the dark art of necromancy, which he wholeheartedly supports. The Plaguebringer appears as a humanoid hunchback draped in tattered, decaying robes. Under his hood can be seen a very handsome face attached to the body of a rotting corpse. He is enemies with Tunare, Rodcet Nife, Karana, Mithaniel Marr, and Rallos Zek. He rules the Plane of Disease, which is dark and drippy with geysers of ooze and rivers of pus. The land itself looks, feels and even smells like decaying flesh, and is inhabited by all manner of evil creatures and undead. "

Evidently Sony forgot about Bertox's description because he has no cloak, no handsome face, he isn't a hunchback, and his body isn't rotting.
Other than that, their rendition of him is dead on...

bertox hit me, as a 65 cleric, for up to 1957 and can quad. basically, once the MA loses agro and hits somebody else, that person is dead. dont use agro weapons.

That isnt true. Im sure your AC isnt the same as some of the melees that are there fighting. You forget to take into consideration that in PoP the higher the AC the more damage mitigation you can have. There is no cap in PoP.
actually it dont mean squat what your AC is as far as what your Max hit can be.
As a 65 Beast with a Measily lil over 1200AC I got hit for the same 19XX HPs not sure the exact number but was under 2000, and the exact number is moot anyway, most anyone with under 7000Hps is DEAD in under 2secs if you get aggro.
Im sure this 65 Cleric had higher AC still got hit for 1957Hps.
as im sure a Warrior with over 1700AC would also get hit for "up to" max hit.
What your higher AC does is give you a "chance" to mitigate more damage, doesnt mean you "will" mitigate more of every single hit..
The ONLY thing that does that is /Disc which is the one and only reason a Warrior has a better chance to survive being beat on by Bertoxx.
A warrior whos /Disc is down wont last much more than 2-5 secs against Bertoxx.
Higher AC no matter if its 2000AC isnt going to save your butt agaisnt a Mob that hits this hard and fast (cant be slowed).
You actually have a better chance to survive an extra couple secs with Higher Avoidance (Agi maxed+CA3+LR5)which gives you more of a "chance" to completely avoid some of those 19XX Hits.
That effectively mitigates that hit/miss to ZERO where as AC can only mitigate a hit to its "Minimum Hit" which with Bertoxx i would guess would be somewhere around 300-500Hp.
Without having /Disc... Avoidance>Mitigation when a Mob hits this hard and fast.
and obviously having BOTH High AC and High Avoidance is better than one or the other.

Posted: Aug 06 2003 at 4:20 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) aye but this is his base dmg an although it will be dropped down to what 1.2k of per hit think of the fact that pure int casters are prolly gonn have just over 3-4k hp an the priest classes are gonna be around 5-6k so a quad for 1.2k will kill any int caster an almost kill a priest an the fact his ae will already have everyone low on hps....

I have looked up some of the books in the evil section of PoK. Ill give you all an overview of why he looks the way he does.
There was a race of people that lived in a city.
They killed lots and lots of dragons. Built houses, weapons, tools etc out of the parts of dead dragons. Bert liked that. So he basically made all the Priests worship him, and the 12 kings as well. Anyhoo, he made the kings wage war for a long time. Btw, the armys were basically all undead, and with all the undead, came a plague, which killed all the people that worshipped him. And so he made himself look like the race he slaughtered just for fun.

Actually, Lxzanvom was the crypt of the kings of that race, the Xulous. The Xulous' worship of their dead kings actually sort of "created" Bertoxxulous in the bottom of the crypt, and he used the rotting corpses of the kings as his physical form. That's where the old look for Bertoxxulous comes in, the one where he's supposed to look like a rotting corpse wearing a flesh mask. Anyway one of the early priests of Bertoxxulous tricked the living King of the Xulous into coming to Lxzanvom, where he sacrificed him to Bertoxxulous. To prevent Lxzanvom from being destroyed by either the dragons or other people afraid of him, Bertoxxulous transported the entire crypt into the Plane of Disease.
All of that is from the books from the human female merchant in the casters' building in Kartis (PoK dark side).

Bertoxxulous is a Ring type event. Your Raid party has 2hours to spawn and clear the 12 kings. You need to do the Carpin event to get to CoDb (basement of CoD). Kings are the named mobs and hit for 1400 or so, enrage, etc. The kings get harder as you progress. They also have a nasty AE dot that will kill your entire force if you don't have GRC ready. This is event is alot of fun. Bertox is just one of the five mini gods flags needed to get to Sol Tower to kill the mighty and powerful Rallos Zek.

what flag you get form bert
when you hail the projection that spawns from bertoxx corpse, it will give you a message as to who to talk to. Worry about killing High Priest Ultor first to get the flag to even start the ring for this guy. limited number of hails on the guy that spawns out of ultor too, so you will need kill the whole cycle of red con nameds twice, at least.

How do you get this guy to spawn? Is he spawned normally now or what? Cause I went in there shortly after pop went live and there wasn't a single mob on the second level in the Bristlebane server.

Actually Llanowar you are wrong. If you would've gone to the official EQ site or read the game manual, it shows Bertox as a humanoid with a handsome face and decaying body. He is wearing a large cloak.
