Varsoon the annoyng
# Jul 16 2001 at 11:21 PM Rating: Default
I saw the old, non dead Varsoon, and, being an idiot, I hailed him, and, instead of him hailing me back, he turns and hits me fir 82 damage. I did the natural thing in that situation, I ran, so he stood back and rooted me, feared me, and backstabbed me. well, being a paladin, I live for ever. the choloblast helps too =) and I finally get to the guard tower, and they dont even glance at me. I shout for help, but no one answers or runs to my aid, so I die there. I hope he killed the dumb guards. well,that's my story.

If NPC's without shields can bash, and lvl 5 NPC's can do double attack, why cant an NPC necro backstab? He doesnt even need a weapon to do such a thing :)

Ive been backstabbed by just about every critter in Norrath at one time or another. To say they cant backstab simply because he is a necro is just plain silly. He is not a player, he is an NPC. They play by different rules. Heck they dont even need a weapon to backstab. Which kind of scares me to think what they are doin behind me to backstab me with.

some chars are crosses as u know the new beastlord thing is a cross so he can backstab like chanda miller can and she is a renger/rogue

My encounters with this punk

I don't play much, so I've been a Level 11 Human Monk for about 3 weeks. But back when I was about level 7, I was just coming out of Black Burrow. I was at about half health because someone trained some Gnoll Guards and I got caught in it. I zoned ASAP. I'm just walking out of the cave when a Wood Elf comes running from the direction the Ruins are in, with a crap load of Skeletons (Decaying, Regular, and Putrid. Or so they looked. There weren't dread corpses there). He was about twenty feet away from me when he ran past, so like 3 putrids and a regular skeleton trained on me. I almost got killed because I didn't have much HP at the start. This other half elf who wasn't at full HP helped me, and then another Monk stuck around to kill a putrid for the rib bone, and watch.

After the fight we all kinda sat around and talked for a bit. Now, I had never heard of Varsoon then, and then out of the corner of my screen, I see the other monk drop dead. I start to stand up when the half elf gets up too, turns, and gets dropped. Just as I'm about to fight (although I had no chance), Varsoon's pet nails me from behind for about 24 damage, and then bashes me, which stuns me. Varsoon then proceeds to kill me with one hit.

After I respawned, right outside North Qeynos Gates, I told the half elf that the whole incident there really sucked. I started back to my corpse. Big mistake, because as soon as I zoned into the Hills, Varsoon with pet was waiting. You know the little recoil you get when you get hit? If not for that, I would have died a second time. Varsoon smacked the spit outta my mouth, which sent me back in North Qeynos. I zone back away from the path, and find out Varsoon got killed by the guards. I come back to Black Burrow, and find my corpse, along with about 6 or 7 other people's corpses. Varsoon had a grand old time.

I've never run into the living version of Varsoon, only the zombie. The next time I ran into this guy was when I hit 9 and was leaving Black Burrow again. Someone shouted that Varsoon was dead, so since I had only seen Varsoon's Undead form, I decided to go to the ruins to kill Skeletons. Well, that guy didn't know about the Undead version. So I'm heading to the ruins, and I come face to face with the ugly thing. So I ran myself away and shouted that Varsoon isn't dead. So then I got into an argument with the guy. And told him that I just saw Varsoon staring me down. I stop for a bit, since Varsoon didn't chase me, and when I go to look back, I get rooted by him, and then he nails me from behind and drops me. So that sucked. But the same guy who killed his Living form killed the Undead form.

The next time I found Varsoon, was when I was hanging with my friend who was camping Pyzjin. He ran out of supplies so he went back to Qeynos to go get some. He told me to stay there and make sure no one camps the ruins. So I'm sitting there, and my friend had been gone a while. Next thing I know Varsoon spawns, and starts beating me. I started running, getting bashed and beaten. For once he didn't root me, and his pet didn't bash me. So then I'm almost to the campfire near Surefall, and then I see the line "Genadiel hits Varsoon the Undying for 30 damage". I turn around to see my buddy kicking the hell out of Varsoon. He tells me to go and run, and that he can handle it from there. I start heading back to the ruins, when the pet (who I forgot about) kills me.

Bottom line, I really hate this guy and his pet.

You said you headed back to your corpse when you were lvl 7.......why?
RE: My encounters with this punk
# Mar 17 2003 at 6:46 PM Rating: Decent
Because in 2001 you still had a corpse to loot from level 1. They didn't change that until recently - now you don't have a corpse til level 10.

I killed the regular Varsoon and his pet when he spawned in at the ruins. After killing him his undead self poped in and killed me....he was a red con so I must got a higher lvl undying varsoon then normal.

When my wiz was level 20, I had just started camping for pyzjn, medding, when I was hit by a 160 dmg dd. Needless to say, I stood up! I saw Varsoon the Undying and just as I started to run away, he feared me. When it wore of, he meleed me for 45 (bringing me to about 55% health). I ran/jumped away, trying to put as many hills/bumps in between us as I could (to prevent more casts on me). I ooc'ed that I was running to BB and to run away, Varsoon is coming!

Not wanting to train him onto anyone who was in the BB entrance tunnel, I ran past bb to the hill, faced the direction he was coming from and shadow stepped (more often than not, it will tp you backwards). I then gated as he was about 50 meters away from me.

I was bound @ the NQ Gate, so I ran along the path to QH. Zoned and ran along the path to the crossroads/stone marker. Just in front of me on the hills (I have clipping set to max), I saw something chasing after a grizzly. The griz dissappeared and he came running after me again. I tried casting shadowstep again but was interrupted, as he hit me for a duel hit of 55 , 45. I casted shadow once more, then gated again.

I was now back @ NQ again, fully paranoid, I bandaged myself to 50%. I ran east and zoned close to the guard tower. I ooc'd if anyone saw him, nobody replied, so I assume that a guard had nailed him. Man, I now FULLY respect varsoon :).
#Anonymous, Posted: May 20 2001 at 1:15 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I got my pally to kill him with ease (39 with his regen makes my pally a force to be reckoned with) anyways, i wantedd to make a guildie laugh a bit (they had been camping Pyzjin for about a month) and then descided to act like a druid, i rooted him then unleashed my 94 dd on him, when i eventualy ran OOM, i just plowed in and kicked his a@$$ without losing a bub of HP! I got revenge for my mage....
Death to Varsoon
# May 10 2001 at 5:04 PM Rating: Default
I am a 22lvl Ranger, I was born in Surefall and have been in and around Qeynos Hills all my life.
The other day I was going from Everfrost to Surefall by way of Qeynos Hills and this SOB jumped me and killed me quite easily. In all the time I had spent there I had never seen this jerk before. I am bound in Qeynos and had to retrive my corpse so I went out to the hills to do so and the %$%#$ killed me again. All I can say is I can't wait until I reach a respectable lvl and I'll come back and blast this turkey.
A bit of infomation that can save you
# May 03 2001 at 5:24 PM Rating: Default
Varsoon the undying spawned and started making havoc and i did a little test. I went camouflaged and went right up to his face(thank goodness it didnt wear out or i would be a dead lv 15 ranger). He cannot see invisible. He ended up being killed by Marton Sayer.
WTF?
# Apr 30 2001 at 11:30 PM Rating: Default
Some one ehre said that he was FAIRLY easy at level 44? i solo in CC at 32+ (i am 35, a yellow and blue bar till 36) i am a pally, are you saying i CAN'T solo him because if a 44 NEC FDed, then that means that i would have no chance, i solo giant skeles without a care, hell i do the same with cyclopse skeles... i want to camp the GBS cause i can trade it for Eboots and a forest loop (it goes for that much on solusek)
The guards do help

I don't know about the level that's posted being accurate....he conned White to a lvl 30 Druid....I killed his pet in the BB tunnel...did a track and saw he was white....took off cause I was already oom (never medded before the pet fight) and the pet took me to half health...didn't think I wanted to stick around to see how PO'd he'd be since I killed his pet. Maybe next time I see him I'll take him on...

Tonight on the e'ci server Varsoon the Undying killed me. No one was camping him. when i told everyone in zone, they all said var...what? who's he?(and these were high 30s ppl).

There didnt seem to be the normal version. Just the undead version. I had just killed Gnasher when the varsoon shout came on my chat screen. i had just stood from looting gnasher and this zombie guy was aggrod on me! There were others around and he paid them no mind.

I don't know his level, since he was green to me at 51, but the undying form (which spawned after necro form died) took my to 2.5 bubs health in no time, and cast one of those roots that snare you quite successfully (it still overwrote my sow, too); luckily, he switched to trying to melee me, and two starfires took him out.

varsoon undying vs other NPCs
# Dec 31 2000 at 6:27 PM Rating: Default
i was camping the millers one day, when varsoon popped and a druid who was camping the GBS asked for help. i killed varsoon easily, i mezzed his pet nuked him, then mezzed him and repeated it. it wasnt too hard, but i waited and got full mana and i had a druid friend who was coming to visit me, so i pulled him to the guard tower and my friend came, varsoon the undying attacked the wizzie NPC neclo ressar(not sure of how to spell his name) and the monk konem matse(not sure of how to spell his name either). varsoon the undying wasted his mana and then the monk and him started fighting, i helped the monk, because i wanted to kill varsoon the undying, but the monk got the last hit =(. guards didnt help at all, and they werent attacked by the undying form. just thought this might help some people who get attacked by him and want to try to kill him.

In my mid-twenties, I visited Qeynos Hills and saw Varsoon and his pet walking around, presumably toward the ruins (red con). A little while later, there's a zone message with Varsoon spouting off about how we have unleashed some kind of great power/evil/whatever. A little while later still, Varsoon the Undying (blue con) did a little fear kiting . . . I was the kite. I died.

don't feel too bad, I, as a 26 magician, walked up to him thinking he was a player, waved, and was quickly killed thereafter, he's not my friend anymore..

I was killing skeletons around the ruins at lvl 10 when varsoon and his pet attacked and killed me. Then when I came back for my corpse he was just standing right next to it. I was forced to log off.

I have a lvl 12 ranger on Tarrew Marr (whose name shall remain anonymous) and accidently trained Varsoon the Undying on someone camping the millers. The guy was a necro 25+ and had 3 friends of similar lvl with him. The four of us were toasted in about 2 minutes. It was sad. My apologies to you campers, especially the iksar.

Possible Quest
# Jul 18 2000 at 1:02 PM Rating: Decent
I do believe there is a quest involving these rare necros. Varsoon and Varsoon the Undying have ties with the Bertox Necros. Pyzjn is a gnome necro and gnome necros worship Bertox. Pyzjn drops the coveted GBS which is identified as Varsoons Black Heart. I believe there is a hidden connection and probably a way to trigger these spawns. I believe some know how to do this but will not share their secret since it yields a very profitable item.

what would happen if you gave Varsoon the Undying back his heart?? Do you think you might get something better?? I know no one would want to try this but just think about it
RE: Possible Quest
# Mar 20 2001 at 10:24 PM Rating: Default
you could always kill him and get it back, don't think he'd auto-junk it since he can use it, you'd just hafta deal with a varsoon with +9 int
RE: Possible Quest
# Dec 14 2000 at 7:29 PM Rating: Default
But also, don't you think that giving Varsoon the Undying back his heart might be a bad thing? I can see it now: the world on your server no longer exists as Varsoon the Undying has taken over and turned everyone into his minions.

My personal story of Varsoon: As a ranger, of fair skill, I find the tracks of Varsoon the Undying! Being the idiot I am, I investigate, he cons red, he's irate, now I'm dead. #@$!@#%!

The first day I played in the Hills, this ugly zombie ******* poped up outa no where(but I can't see how because everything comes from something)this guy used fear on me, but it was a waste of his mana to use on a lv. 5. That ******* then hit me twice for 80+!!!!


I spent the next day looking for my corpse

# Jun 15 2000 at 3:10 PM Rating: Default
Well, on those non-killing spawns of Varsoon the Undying, the Hills become like Kithicor, which for a bunch of newbies from Surefall or Qeynos is almost instant death. Fortunately, I'm not over there anymore, so that I don't have to wait for the undead horror to go away before I can safely retrieve my corpse. Varsoon the Undying will even aggro you if you're in the tunnel to Surefall, but still on the Q. Hills side of the line. It's rare that anything will come up the tunnel past the guards, but Varsoon did. I may miss Blackburrow, but not bad enough to risk being in the Hills on Halloween or Friday the 13th.
RE: Varsoon...
# Aug 06 2001 at 3:27 AM Rating: Decent
The undead invasion is a triggered event. I asked a GM about it, if it was a GM event, like i first thought. He said it wasn't, that it was triggerable. I am currently looking for the trigger when not camping Pyzjn.

I came racing into the "red sky, undead everywhere" thing on Povar the other night and Varsoon the Undying was the only non-greenie in the zone (to a 31st shaman). Varsoon in his "zombie" form was blue and an easy kill - I just blasted him and meleed him to death in nothing flat.
