King is still 25th. My group hunted him last Sunday and he still conned 25. He has a bad tendency of not dropping anything. In 6 kills we got 4 empties, 1 bi crown and 1 grotesque mask.
The best battle tactic we found was to pull to the wide area of the ledge just above the water tunnel to Sludge. In this area your casters can use levitate and get good positioning for the battle and have some maneuverability. Start by pulling the Captain room, then the King room to keep the numbers down.
