Okay...I'm the first to admit when I'm wrong.

molo'd, 92 monk, 3300aa, 66k hp, 5400ac. Long fight, not hard though, I burnt down the cat then it was easy. Merc set to effecient, mended when i could, had plenty of mana in the end.

Dragons are easier.
A little too much to solo at 85...

INFO:

Well, the SK that posted here may or may not have actually solo'd this mob, but I don't see how, even as uber as SK's are....

For one, the dog that comes with Porthio is another raid mob, so esentially your are fighting two at the same time. It has just about the same hp as Porthio, memblurs etc.

I tried this with my 85 warrior with 2kaa and full abtruse/best possible baz gear, (5kac, max defensive aa, shield while running defensive) and Porthio still hit very hard.

I had my j5 cleric merc healing. I was also boxing an 82 bard who had a j4 rogue merc who were both wailing away at porthio's back.

The bard had melody twisting slow, haste, resists, overhaste...

about 20 minutes in Porthio was at 70%, dog was at 95% and my cleric was out of mana (did I mention i was running defensive? lol)

We wiped, accept my bard who i moved back and faded. Seconds after fade Porthio walked back to his spot and in a few more seconds was suddenly back at full hp (yet the SK feigned death several times and he didn't do this? suspicious...)

I'm not saying it's impossible (I have been impressed by SK solo's in the past) just that it would take an SK with some serious firepower. If your playing any other class good luck, because I was playing 2 and it wasn't happening. I would suggest if you want to try this guy to just wait till your 90 or higher.

Good luck.

Update:

Tried again:

This time brought 86 warrior, 1890aa, 46khp, J5 Cleric

and

86 monk, 2650aa, J5 Tank

and

83 Mage, J4 healer

somehow got porthio to about 4% hp first try then wiped

Tried again and couldn't get him below 30% next few tries.

this is like fighting two raids at once. I'll try again at 90...
Killed w/ one merc only

Killed this guy 6/23/2010 with just myself(85 SK, 4k AA) and the merc. Was able to go alone up till about 70 % when my train died off, then started going between 2.0 and merc and vamp mode and such. Took about 50-55 mins, blew HT twice, had to resummon merc 2 or 3 times. This fight was no push over, was pretty disced out, 20 % mana, merc dead for the 3rd or 4th time, when porthio finally fell. I'll have to try a dragon next time, at least it won't have a stupid cat with it.

Periodically he will also make one of the following emotes:
Porthio the Second Born says 'Nightshade! Get rid of that troublesome caster.
Porthio the Second Born says 'Nightshade! Kill that blasted healer!


On the command of these messages, Nightshade will mem wipe himself and target a character of the appropriate class.

I believe this item is a task reward for "Entrance into Daosheen's Chamber" -- not a drop. The task does involve killing Porthio, however.

Although Crystals are a task rewared, I've also seen Porthio drop them.

Crystals of the Firstborn is also a drop from Porthio.

He also drop Black Orb of Porthio the Second in addition to the ones recieved from the task.
Kill

The way we do it is. Have MT (Warrior) Tank porthio. And Knights (Pal/SK) Tank the cat. Clerics Heal MT. Druid/Shams Heal Knights. Keep cat AWAY from Porthio. Because he has mean AoE Ramp. Kill Porthio First. Then finish cat.
how do you kill him now

Kill the cat first really ;)

Each guild does it their own way.. but if you kill the cat, you lose rampages, manadrain AE, quasi-DT from the cat etc..

If you kill Porthio 1st, then you still have a crazy memblurring cat to deal with.

Once Nightshade is dead, Porthio becomes just a trash mob with a bunch of HP.

Know this is an old post- but don't kill the cat first. He is a tonne harder than Porthio and will take longer to kill.

I have not seen him drop Crystals of the Firstborn. Rather after you get three dragon teeth from the large named dragons and part of Porthios staff from Nightshade, you turn them in to the apprentice mage in Arcstone for the book, which lets you enter Daosheens chamber.
New drop

I know. Wolfsclan has killed him countless times and the crystals have dropped only once.
