Innoruuk  

Got him down to 5%....and he just wouldn't go down any more. Became invincible basically. Not sure why. Eventually ran out of mana and had to evac because he wouldn't die.

I killed him during PoP when he still had the "Presence of the Might I" type debuffs. I expected his 20k death touch to do quite a bit more, but oddly enough it seemed the MotM was being calculated in my favor. His base death touch was only 12.5k and my heroic wisdom mitigated it more (9 heroic WIS took it down to 11375). So, with some patience and making sure I was topped off, I was able to tank him without dying to the death touch. My gear is near BiS as I have 12.75k HP fully buffed, but I thought it might be an interesting tidbit for future adventurers looking for a challenge after classic passes some.

Keep in mind that version of Innoruuk goes away in LDoN, so PoP is the latest era you can attempt the classic version on TLPs.

So, I've decided post as this was arguably the hardest of the "old world" bosses to locate and pop, I'm guessing because someone has his spawn pretty much perma-camped and knows when he was last taken out.

I had it in my mind that I was going to take all the old world bosses down solo with a monk and I started at 52 with Vox and Nagafen. Those two required help but all nearly all the rest have been taken down and Inny was one of the more difficult to find. I actually quit playing because he wasn't showing up and no one really had any information as to spawn times or whether he was triggered.

So, I've found he seems to be a three to five day timer +/- 12 hours like most raid bosses and upon logging in and facing the throne room so as not to cause aggro by the local dark elves he was up (FINALLY) and standing right in front of the throne in the small room on the east side of the map.

With my rediculously geared 92 monk with 4500aa I think he depopped in about fifteen seconds after he got completely smashed and left a corpse with no loot. Evangelist of Hate showed up and sauntered in to the room with the balcony. He shouts some nonsense and the "real" Innoruuk shows up on the lower floor and the EoH despawns and (I think) gets about a three to five minute timer. This Inny conned GREEN to a 92 and actually put up a halfway decent fight. All the mobs in the entire building joined the assault against me and I think there were a good twelve to fifteen adds. All were destroyed within about three minutes, Inny was the last of the "old world" raid bosses to die and left a Beacon of Loathing and an Insidious Twisted Cord of course both of which at this point are meaningless garbage. EoH respawned and shouted that he was "going to help Innoruuk" but he had been dead a good couple minutes which was pretty damn funny. I killed him with a finishing blow of about 94,000 damage.

Very soloable now a days by a decently geared 85 Sk with about 400 aa. bring haste pots and clickies. he dispells alot. save mana for taps and keep you back to the back wall so he dont throw you out into the open room.

Just been to kill inny was in the zone camping epic drops for my various alts found i couldnt land a thing on him so ran up to him to see if he was a belly caster and had no resists .
Took him down with 85 nec , 85 mage and mercs and 2 mercs mage pet tanked it and then burned him with swarms dots lifeburn and epic pet .

I came to PoH to get SK epic prequest piece and after that decided to down Inny with a 85 necro (1.5K aa 38K hp raid buffed & T5 healer merc) and my 2box 80 sk (200aa 24k hp raid buffed & t2 healer merc). I engaged and burnt him down then the evangalist of hate spawned, wandered down stairs and a new tougher Inny spawned. Anyways spells werent landing so i thought i was doomed and i got him to 60% and tried landing spells again and it worked. So im not sure if u can cast at a certain % but im pretty confident caue after my spells started landing only 1/20 was resisted.

Solo'ed this guy tonight the Old School way with no merc, just me and sword pet. 85 Ench 36k HP/ 37k Mana/ 3200 AC unbuffed. He was up so thought I would try him without a merc healer. Very easy, I ignored his adds and went full burn on him with MR aura and MM proc stick. Took maybe 15 mins. The "Bloody Vampire" for the Halloween quest joined in mid-fight w/ his 10 bat adds as well and I was surprised to see that they all were mezzable. Had to use 9 heal potions and several clickie casts to save what buffs I had left. Ended fight w/ 60 mana and I never dropped below 70ish health.

Fake Innoruuk is level 70 Real one is 75

Ok, so we were tryin to 1 group inny tonight. warrior, sk, and some shammys... We were fighting inny in the room between Fake Inny, and where real inny spawns... Fight took quite a long time, as we had no DPS, but, at 8%, a boatload of bats came out of no where and wiped all our casters that were in the doorway to fake inny's room, but didn't touch the SK or the warrior...

Anyone else ever come across this? and anyone know why this might happen?

thanks for any info (and inny will die to us soon, just gotta figure out those damn bats)

I was in tier 1, and noticed an emote, which I suspected was from Inny (Sorry, I didn't write it down.) I did /who, and there were two new players in the zone. Shortly after that, LB Innny dissappeared from track, and a Dark Blue Inny appeared on track. Sometime around that time, a second identical emote appeared. I did another /who, and one of the previous two players was gone from zone, another was *(RIP) Playernamehere Corpse(), (or whatever a dead hovering player is listed as), and DB Inny was still up. After ? twenty minutes, DB Inny was gone from track. When I got back from raids three or four hours later, LB Inny was back. I would interpret this to mean that Inny despawns on a wipe, but respawns after a number of hours similar to other mobs in EQ.

Took 3 groups (16 peeps total) w/ only 1 clr healer but plenty of dps, off-tanks for adds.. etc. 1st Inny was a breeze and we kept most of our forces on the 2 seperate landings at top of stairs and some casters down around entrance and along the wall of bottem spawn floor, and the MA Tank right at the first stairs to pull him up. The plan was to back him in the corner directly in front of the top-most stair, which indeed everything went as planned. We had a decked out shammy with nearly 20k hps/3kac take most of the adds in the corner on the other side to the entr of the throne room and during the course of battle (about 5min in) he ran into trouble so I jumped off Inny to take some of the load), used weaponshield disc at first then helped for a bit but I think I was one of the first to die.

Eventually those adds had no place to go but to the closest aggro, in our case was our cleric on horseback at the time.. Cleric ended up wiped and eventually the whole 3 groups wiped. Tank was last to go and reported had Inny down to 36 percent. Everyone in group was at least lvl 65, lvl average was 72 I think.

Gonna try again soon, hoping for better chance in SEoC (my rng 1.0) drop off him than the names I've camped for a couple weeks. We'll be sure to come better prepared with at least 3 healers next time.

Well, hope this helps a little. Oh and he is a lvl 75 spawn comfirmed.

Droped him with 6.

75 Cleric
75 War
75 Shm
75 Rng
75 Ber
75 Wiz

Tons of adds, dont bother killing them, kill inny first.

Cleric just put back in corner, kept MT up with Promised Renewal Rk II. and spam as needed.
Make sure everyone is on inny. Cleric, if he is strong enough, puts up ward of rep. and it will be flawless victory. Inny dies, kill adds, your gtg.

Happy Halloween, just took him down with 7 people

Duadil (War, 75)
Stashue (Sha,75)
Laurell (Cler,75)
Sashia (War, 75)
Beatsper (Bard,75)
Juab (Rog,71)
and myself Maean (Nec,71)

Fight took about 15 mins, adds were not a problem. AE knockback didnt hurt one bit. Dropped
