Slaythe the Slayer  

These 3 spawns are about 30 minutes.... This is the second time I've camped this mob but it is very frustrating to get him to spawn but just keep with it...

he is level 33, conned white to an alt of mine at that level

This guy conned light blue to me on track. There is no way he is 13, LOL.

I just spen a 12 hour marathon waiting for this ******* to spawn, and he still hasn't. Taking a 20min break inbetween spawns to search the web for some info on why it is taking so long. Two FBSS have dropped already today in Lower Guk, and no Slaythe! Maldyn was easier than this! I've used cannable's tips on getting him to spawn 3 times in an EQ day instead of 2, clearing all 3 spawns at 10AM and 8PM but still no Slaythe:( I pray this quest is not broken and that I haven't wasted an entire day on this. Gonna continue a couple more hours till I get tired. But if I go to bed tonight without wearing my Ivy Etched gauntlets, I'm just gonna say ***** em and stay with my banded gloves. This is some really f*cked up sh*t!

Walked through upper and lower Guk the other day. Never killed a Froglok before and did not then, being interested in getting Slaythe and getting out without being aggroed. Was waiting for the mino to despwan, when a 56 ranger showed up. We cleared the room, I could not have done it myself, and Slaythe was the second pop. Conned red to me, so he is definitely higher than 13. Three minos in room and same location as described in previous posts. Also, a wandering Froglok Guk Guard came into the room every so often, estimate every 15 minutes, so it would be a hard room to solo.

Here's how I managed to loot Slaythe the Slayer and get Broken Bow Part B.

First, I had never killed a Froglok and so I walked right through Upper Guk and then entered Lower Guk (Live Side) without any problems. I entered Lower Guk on the Live Side Setup Area (number 4 on EQAtlas map).

I proceeded to the room at the dead end of an "S" shaped hallway north of the Jail room (number 7 on EQAtlas map). No Slaythe the Slayer, but one of the minotaurs was in the room.

Next, a friendly ranger (about level 51) who was camping the Three Mino Room and Mino Patriarch Room (numbers 5 and 6 on EQAtlas map), cleared the room with the minotaur placeholder.

Immediately Slaythe spawned and the same kind Ranger pulled him to room 5 and killed him for me.

The total camp was maybe 20 minutes. I realize that I was incredibly lucky. I am posting just to confirm that the minotaurs are PHs for Slaythe and that Slaythe spawns in the room at the "S" shaped dead end north of the jail (-200,+300 on EQAtlas map).

Yeah, I saw Slaythe the other night when I went in with a friend to get EE bags. He was exactly where the EQAtlas map describes, in the dead-end room just north of the numbered location. He was in the middle, with a Greater Minotaur on either side. I had him on tracking, but it took several minutes to get to his location from the EE ledge. I didn't have a map printed out, so I had to wander around until I found him.

I also know why he's so rare. He poofed, right before my eyes. Gone. I was just rebuffing for the pull when it happenned. I thought it was a lag spike. It wasnt :-(

As it turns out, Slaythe or his PH (the middle minotaur) poofs at 8AM EQ time, every day. Then, at 9AM, he is replaced. So, it's at least theoretically possible to sit and wait through cycles until Slaythe pops. But for some otherworldly luck, this could take a long, long time. It's much faster to kill the PH, if you can, and use LGuk's 29 minute respawn cycles.

I tried to solo this room, but I died (lvl 40 ranger) trying to break the spawn. Grasping Roots is terrible at holding Minotaurs in place. With help from some EE campers, I was able to get the spawn partially broken, but was driven out when a roaming frog joined in against one of the minos.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to break this room as a solo Ranger? I just can't see any way to do it.

Slaythe the Slayer is a froglok of melee class, and I believe his spawn is completely random, though more common than the other part of this quest, Maldyn the Unkempt. Slaythe is not lvl 13 as some guides suggest. He was blue to me at lvl 34, but was still incredibly easy to kill. Find a map of the zone and look on the live side for the dead-end "S"-shaped hallway just north of the jail cell room. Go to the room at the end. After 3 hours last night of camping the room and killing the greater minotaurs that spawn in the room (and act as placeholders for Slaythe), I said something to the effect of "this damn frog's taking his sweet time". Immediately after I said that, he spawned =) I had another ranger with me so we rolled for it. I won the roll and looted the bow, but I'm going back tonight to help him get the broken bow part again. It didn't take as long as I've heard, you just have to be in the right spot. Now I get to go hunt down Maldyn, and once I get that part, I'll have a full set of ivy etched! Figures I save the most rare spawn for last... And don't be fooled, the gauntlets are great resist gear for raids.

Spoiler, I solved the puzzle. The low down is Slaythe the Slayer is not an undead frog he is a live one. He isn't rare it is just that people never figured out where to actually hunt. I put together some half right posts and solved this mystery on a hunch. Slaythe first off is not the one in Misty thicket. Some idiots will tell you that. He does not spawn in some general area around the jail and Patriarch. He spawns right in the three minotaur spawn room that is to the left as you are goin into the jail. His place holder is one of those Minotaurs(was center one for me, don't know if it varies cause i saw a few regular frogs spawn from the one on the left) He might wander around the areas mentioned in other posts, but why try to catch him wandering when you can make him spawn and kill him on the spot. he gave me xp at lvl 41 so he is not lvl 12 or 13 like the info above stats. He was blue to me. If you dont believe me. Hunt that room for a bit. Just that room. I think you will be very happy with the results. Once I figured it out I got the part very fast.... have fun

I'll admit, the Darkmail Gauntlet's are all around better, but the Ivy one's are worth the wait as far as resist gear goes

He conned yellow to me in Misty Thicket, so I grouped with 3 other people and took him out. Quite strange considering I am a level 11 rogue huh?

Slaythe also pops up in Misty Thicket as part of the Avenger Battleaxe quest (Kaladim) and is spawned by speaking to the Halfling Bronin Higginsbott at the Wall (need faction). In Misty he is L20 to 22 (hits above his level like Dorn, DVinn etc) and worth quite a decent amount of experience (I made L23 to 26 in about ten hours just on him).
