Find an enchanter (or do it yourself) to Dire Charm Pendil Dashinger and sick him on The Tangrin. Easy as that. Pendil will not lose that much HP and The Tangrin will go down.
Just to clear things up about his location (3454, 2920). Its the big island all the way in the northern part of the zone. But he isn't static, he roams around the island and in some cases I've read he was in the water (think another post here mentioned it).
He's classified as a 54 Warrior, which sounds easy enough until you start the battle. BRING MELEE DPS!!!! Sorry to shout it but he is VERY resistant to magic (as in resisted every single one of my spells). Being a 62 Enchanter would normally mean me being able to kill him in a couple of minutes, maybe 3-4 since he is a name for the epic. But since I didn't know heading into it that I would be nothing more than a gnome shaped punching bag, I had to spend the whole fight using a 1H Blunt weapon and relying on my pet for dps. Fight took me about 20-25 minutes and I'm fairly confident that 80% of the damage done to him was through Feedback (11point damage shield, although mine was 17 due to armor stats).
Anyways outside of the annoyance of the magic resist, he seems to be pretty strait up. My "group" was me (62enc) a healer merc and my pet. The gorilla hits hard but with the way mercs are, healer never let me drop below 80% (and he never ran below 75% mana either).
Anyway bring melee dps and a good healer and you should be fine.
PS - He always drops the sands so theres no need to kill him more than once.
I spanked this bad boy today as a 55 druid with tank merc. Dots were resisted about 70% of the time so mostly I just healed the merc. Finished at 20% mana with merc at 50%. Not hard, which goes to show how much more powerful toons are in today's game. I'm not braggin, anyone could do it.
People rarely post useful information about mobs on here (actually this thread has been pretty good from what I've read, but normally) so me and my brother have decided to gather statistic for some mobs that we found useful. 62 Mage and 60 Necro easily duo'ed, probably could have solo'ed with mage.
Battle took around 4 minutes EDIT: I went back through again later to parse HP and it was around 30,000.
His minimum hit was 126 (bash), his maximum hit was 235 with an average of 172 throughout the battle. He did about 88 DPS.
He is extremely resistant as I couldnt hit any of the resistable malaise spells and necro was only able to get off one DoT. He never landed a stun, which checks against your magic resist and is a proc. He ran for us at around 19% (which seems to be the norm) so make sure your DPS is high enough, otherwise you're going swimming.
So those statistics again
Min Hit - 126 Max Hit - 245 Avg hit - 172 DPS - 88 HP - 30,000
Proc checks against magic resist and he is heavily resistant to spells despite his level. Runs around 19%.
Be sure to dispell this guy! he was regening extremely fast early into this fight, but after a few dispells he dropped fast. I don't know what buff it is on him, or if something else cast it on him, but it makes things significantly easier.
Also the Monkey Stun is a proc of his, not a cast spell.
Solo'd this monky as a level 71 Enchanter with twink gear. Charmed Hierophant Liyx from the SW corner of zone, ran over to the Tangrin, hasted Liyx and kept rune on him. Tangrin ran at 20%, pet was at 40% health and I was at 40% mana.
The Tangrin roams on the big island in the NW corner of the field of bone. I attacked him just hours ago and looted my sands of the mystics.
He is a tough fight with plenty of hitpoints so do not be overconfident with this guy. I like to err on the side of extreme overkill when I can anyway. Let the uber, well equipped guys brag, I am bazaar geared and need some friends.
This is an old question, but a good one, so I will respond anyway. The spawn is on the large island in the northwest part of the zone. He roams the area. When we found him today, he was in the water between the two islands.

Just killed him a few minutes ago. Was fairly easy. killed him with a 63 sk and 62 cleric healing. Forgot to haste SK on my ench before I logged cleric on it so it was a long fight but he went down. He started running at 15% which was good for me cause cleric was almost oom. Everything but darkness landed on him.
I tried soloing the mob got it down to 10% at 62 but it summons like crazy. Very hard to kill but had another with me who finished him off. Finnyiniel 62 Arch Mage

A 61 druid (healing) and a 62 monk (tanking) took this Monkey down. It took 3 min to take him down and it was actually easy if you have a good tank and a healer. Monk just took aggro and took him down within 3 minutes of beginning. It resisted a lot of my spells (61 druid) but we still got it down. The Monk soloed it while I healed him at least 5 times.
Spawn time is between "16 hr and 23" hrs. I am not sure which but here is my story. I logged on yesterday to farm sand for the chanter quest. The Tangrin was not up. SO i logged on a ranger alt and went out to play elsewhere. I checked back every half hour to hour. He was there at 3 am check (16 hrs later). I did the pendle DC and it worked brilliantly. It was about 3 30 am when I killed hime. I came back at 2 am the next night and he was up again. This tells me either he spawns somewhere between 16-22 hrs or he spawns some time after around 2 a.m. (pacific time in real life.) Hope this helps :)
Some Ranger was trying to kite him today near the ramp leading up to FoB while I worked on a young alt. Saw me somehow and hit me a few times for 200+...needless to say one very dead young monk...almost logged on my main to kill him but figured I'll bring a chanty buddy along when I do that.
One more thing... I've seen this monkey once... but he wasnt on no island.. he was getting owned by some peepz somewhere.. *cant remember* Could anyone tell me which island he's on.. and also the /loc please... all this strategy is cool *very helpful* but no /loc lol... unless i didnt read right.. would be nice.. as soon as i figure where he is i'm going to go kick some a$$ with my 65 shaman... XD
Just looked for him with my 10 necro (was just curious as to what the H the tangrin is) and he was on the larger of the two islands-the one with the large wall. I found him at around 9:20 PM Central(Illinois) but my buddy tells me that he moves from island to island. That monkey's just gone bananas if you ask me.
Oh no he didn't! Sadly i just did. And my self respect is gone just like that...
To be more precise he is on the easternmost of the two islands, I couldn't get close to loc him, because he con'd scowl and ready to attack/red I'm only 38 lol.
Soloed him as a 70 necro today. After reading the posts here about his resists, I tried using Funeral Pyre of Kelador and Blood of Thule, which both worked fine. Embracing Darkness from Ossein was resisted the two times I tried it. Mostly I let pet tank and used Touch of Death for heals. I ended up having to use Mend Companion. This guy's dps is pretty good for his level.
