High Priest Grumsalsot  

See photo mob is High Priest GRUMSALSOT

POPPED FROM AN EXHAUSTED PROPHET

He popped out of A Restful Acolyte in the first room off the Gunthak Luggald Temple zone line. The Acolyte was the second mob I killed, & I was blown away to see a named mob pop up immediately.

Anyway, I tried very hard to kill him, but had to gate out ... he was at 54%, my pet was nearly dead, & I was at 20% mana ... I could have done it with chain-casting, but wasn't really thinking of that, at the time ... anyway, he hit like a truck, had a ton of hit points, cast various Shaman spells, & never summoned.

Wish I'd killed the rotter :(

12khp, 680DD AE spell, anything else needed to know? summon? immune snare/root? I think i might farm this dude for a living :)

I've got many Saltwater Idols and 2 Cudgels from High Priest Grumsalsot, but tonight we got a Shawl of the Fallen Spirit (+4 int, +25 mana, +3 save vs magic, and Flowing Thought 1, shoulder item usable by int casters). This is definitely a very rare drop from him as I've killed him dozens of times and never seen it drop before (though my husband got it once before, but he doesn't remember the mob it dropped from, might be same one). This particular Grumsalsot spawned out of a Black Hand Adherent over by where Dulein Gedesai spawns in the room with the nautilus Innoruuk idol.

I killed An Exhausted Prophet and the High Priest popped where the Prophet dropped. Prophet was to the left of the false wall near the Gulf zone. Pulled him back behind the false wall. Priest popped as the body was still falling. Didn't even realize that he was there for a bit. He also dispelled my virtue.

Popped from the corpse of a furious Blackhand like a few other named in the zone. I have only seen him pop twice, 2 months ago. Both times in the sand pit south of Duelin upon killing the roaming furious blackhand that paths there. I have tried spawning him from the room full of vehement and furious Blackhands West of Duelin with no luck on dozens of clears. I do not see why he wouldn't spawn from a corpse in the full room of furious/vehement.
He dropped a Zraxthril Splinted Cloak the first time then a Saltwater Encrusted Idol the second. He was tougher than the furious with about 1.5x the HP and hit harder. Myself a 55 Bst at the time and friend 61 Magu had a tough time taking him down when low on mana from previous pulls. After he suprised us the first time we decided to med more before pulling the furious again. Hope this helps and please let me know if he pops anywhere else in the zone.

Spawned out of a corpse and conned red to my 54 chanter, nuked me for around 680 (cold based) had a 53 necro with me and out of 4 tries the lowest we took it was 17%, highest melee I was hit for was 199 with an ac of 648. It had more then 12k in hp though.

I submitted a picture with info on this mob a short while ago. He looks just as ugly as the rest of the other trolls. He dropped a Salt Water Idol or whatever it's called. My group consisted of 54 druid (me), 62 Mage, and 62 Beastlord. It's not real fair for me to say how easy he was because he down very quickly, but so did all the other mobs we found. Didn't seem to be a real common spawn though as we only saw him once in a total of about 20 hours camped (4 different days). We were camped in the hallway just to the South(?) of the room where Dulein Gedasai spawns. This is the hall just down from the Gunthak Castle zone in area.
