Louko  

Ok I was trying to get the ring from this mob but I think I am going to hang it up. I have killed her 4 times now and all 4 times she drops the belt, no essences and on top of that summons all the mobs left alive on the floor to her aid to kill my group, WTF!

I looked for an emote or something but could find nothing in the spam that suggests she calls all the other mobs to her aid. Anyone know if this is supposed to happen? Do any other named in this god forsaken tower do this as well?

Killed this mob 6 times today (7 hours) and havent had a single esence drop.

Around 30% health she gave off an emote about taking on a new strength and her "attacks take on a new alacrity" iirc. Pretty big dps jump after that so watch for it.

She spawns on THIRD floor in northwest corner. (Simple rule on Kurns is one named per each of 8 floors.) There are two rooms, one small empty and one large with 5 mobs. She spawns in the large room. A little tricky to find but wander through the 2nd floor head up the stairs and and when you pass a big golem, you know you're close. Pass the golem with it on your RIGHT, take the first left corridor and then the first room to the RIGHT is the spawn room. (The room on the left is PACKED with mobs, some with LOS blocked by furniture and its ridiculously hard to split. Thankfully no named pops there, to my knowledge.)Watch out for the scaled wolves who sometimes see invis. There is one which wanders the corridor right outside the spawn room and and he can take you by surprise.

I killed Loukos 3x and got 2 rings and 1 warrior waist, which was my goal. There are 5 trash spawns in the room (all statics) and no wanderers. 2 mobs wander the corridor outside including one SI wolf so you want to set up camp in the NW corner. No pops there. The mobs are laid out 3 along the north wall, one in the middle and one close to the east wall, the door side. They can be "hushed" but they're close together so expect to get at least 2 until you clear the camp. They don't hit very hard, at least not for a group of 84-85. Seems like the trash in Field of Scale hit harder.

I saw Loukos spawn in 2 spots: once in the single spot on the door side and twice in the extreme NE spawn along the north wall. She's a monk but not particularly hard hitter. Heck, I think the white-handed monk in FoS is tougher.

She dropped the fractured gem all 3x which is a better drop rate than FoS nameds.

Dropped Ornate Skullwork Ring today as well.

Drops Prophet's Runesteel Sash.
Pretty sure mob is 85, not 87. Cons yellow at 83.
