In the Tower of Frozen Shadow: Part of the fifth encounter within the Tower of Frozen Shadow anniversary raid (see this quest entry for raid information).

In Karnor's Castle:

The Main items in his loot table are the Leggings for the various Kunark Class specific armor, as well as a line of two handed blunt staves for casters.

  • Mesmerizable: No

Background: Venril Sathir was the leader of the Iksar Empire who united the five tribes and brought them together to conquer most of the continent of Kunark.

Their rising power eventually attracted the attention of the Lords of the Ring of Scale (read: the Dragons of Veeshan's Peak). It was the mighty Trakanon who took it upon himself to wreak war upon the Iksar Empire, casting down this Necromancer leader.

Venril Sathir managed to cheat death somehow and now focuses on regaining the Iksar throne from his stronghold in Karnor's Castle.

VS can be taken with 2 groups of 60's why make a big deal out of VS

Um..maybe because if you're a 52 Ranger who wants her epic, getting 2 groups of 60's together is almost impossible without a huge guild?
question

thats because VS has a 1.5k hp lifetap built into his fists
Remains have to be killed?
# Apr 10 2002 at 12:13 PM Rating: Decent
Do the Remains have to be killed before he will pop again or does VS pop every week regardless?

No.

You do not kill Venril Sathir remains. You hand VSR a 'summoned globe of fireflies'. Handing VSR the globe will trigger Venril Sathir Spirit. You hand the spirit the level 49 cleric ressurrection spell scroll and this spawns an easier form of Venril Sathir. You kill the second form of Venril Sathir and loot the stone for the druid epic.

I am not sure if you can kill Van Sathir Remains, but if you do, you keep someone from getting this part of their epic.

# Apr 15 2002 at 8:37 AM Rating: Default
I have to admit, that's the first thing I thought when I saw that pic of him. My darky necro would love a robe like that. It would be soo cool looking and also allow him to show off that well-build, manly chest of his =)
RE: Off the Subject BUT ...
# May 06 2002 at 8:14 PM Rating: Default
Just curious as to why you would think that a Darky Necro could where it? VS is a warior. The lifetap comes from a PROC. So I would make a Iks War just to see a warior in this outfit - A dresswearing Warior!
RE: Off the Subject BUT ...
# May 08 2002 at 5:06 AM Rating: Decent
Well, actually if you know the storyline... VS is a Vampire. He was a Necromancer in his mortal life. Leader of the Iksar back in the days that Trek was still a live Dragon also. Now they are both undead after the massive battle that took place when the Iksar tried to reclaim Seb the first time.
They nerfed rune4???
# Mar 31 2002 at 9:06 AM Rating: Default
Is it true they really nerfed the rune4 technique so that it no longer stops his lifetaps? If so then the wizard epic just got nerfed hard. It's no longer attainable by non-ubers =(
RE: They nerfed rune4???
# Apr 02 2002 at 8:17 AM Rating: Decent
let´s say they improved the lifetap, so that he always gets hp´s with or without rune on the tank (

# Apr 09 2002 at 9:32 PM Rating: Decent
Ummm . . . not to sure about that. We killed him the other day - not once did he lifetap the MA, who was being runed by our 60 chanter. He did lifetap someone who did not pay attention to orders. /em waves bye bye

Droped:
1. Gnarled Staff
2. Diamond Encrusted Staff
3. Naltrons Mark (sp?)
4. Blood Ember Greaves

Not sure about the info posted here. But nevertheless, Phil is one happy wizzy.

Anyone know what the weird bones he drops are for? i forget the name of them, and they arnt listed here.

the Blackened Iskar Bones are for the 8th and, as of now, final iskar shaman cudgel quest added in one of the recent patches. I dont remember all the details for the quest, but the final result is the "Skyiron Cudgel of the Ancients", which has pretty amazing stats. I found the info on this and the 7th cudgel at the Champions of Cabilis web page: www.championsofcabilis.com

VS - Spawned Version
# Mar 17 2002 at 1:21 PM Rating: Decent
VS after being spawned from handing in the Rez spell now Lifetaps. Last night 3 guildees were zapped for 1500 dmg so unless this is a new feature on him the information above is wrong. Though not AE Lifetap if not expecting it, it's a suprise when your MA is splattered on the ground in 10 secs.

Tried him last night with about 50 people, failed 3 times heh. Heard they made it where rune doesnt absorb lifetap ne more, we tried getting the warriors to berserk and taking him like that, got him to 40 before someone nuked too early and stole aggro and went downhill from there =/

Whats a level 33 chanter doing here? I would say this is a 46+ zone, you are hurting the group if you come before that. Perhaps you haven't updated your info in awhile.

# Mar 08 2002 at 11:02 PM Rating: Decent
Why does this guy require so many people to kill? Is he that big of an undercon? In a lot of cases..there are other lvl 55 mobs that only take like a group to kill. I was wanting these cobalt legs to twink my war, but now im seing how hard it actually is to get these. What are some other good leggings i could get my war that arent no drop?

Not a hard fight
# Mar 05 2002 at 8:27 PM Rating: Default
He is a fairly easy fight, Had around 25 peeps. We placed main tank in the corner at the top of the ramp (up from VS room) Had 2 pallys rdy with LoH and had all healers use small heals for the first 10 secs or so. After 10-15 secs MA called for assist and everyone went in and clerics began to CH. About 5 secs later caster assist was called. VS dropped in about 25-30 secs
RE: Not a hard fight
# May 24 2002 at 11:22 PM Rating: Default
Ok I have killed the real VS and the triggered multiple times. I do however I have noticed each fight is signifcantly different. First we always use at least 5 groups. Now the main TANK, is always me. I am only a 52 warrior, but in my group are 4 pallys and 11 cleric. This is a must. Once the tank goes in he starts the bashing, the pallys line up for LoH since LoH doens't agro. So once the 3rd Pally uses lay hands the tanks jump in and commences the beating. Once at about 66% the blasters jump in and start blasting. The biggest thing to remember is RUNE!!! It wil save the tank everytime. I have never died in any raid. Now some times the rune does not work, I don't know why, but most of the time it does, if it doesn't work then have your cleric ready, you must also always have a cleric out of another group ready to CH if it gets ugly on the main tank. If you could have a higher lvl tank do it, as long as he understands how, then it is recommended since he will hit harder and keep the aggro. I have lost it a couple times but that is due to idiots not listening. Now one last thing, I read in a post above that the triggered VS lifetapped. NO WAY the triggered doesn't lifetap he just hits hard. So lets think about what we say. The rez spell and fireflies will only bring the non real, non dropping of kunark armor out. That is it. The spawning VS drops the goodies. I would suggest getting into these raids since the real VS almost has the same technique, excpet for the rune. SO fight, learn and get ready for some beating.
Ok, this is the way I found best to kill him
# Mar 05 2002 at 3:39 PM Rating: Good
I have a minimum of 4 groups. The groups will consist of me in the main group along with 4 paladins, and one cleric. Each of the other 3 groups are spread out for sure. I usually have a lot of tanks, an enchanter of course for the rune spell, his Life tap hurts, and plus hitting for 300 doesn't feel to good either. Ok, I stand close to the ledge and I am on OOC saying when I am jumping in. No on goes in until I yell. I jump in and start to hit him, hit is smacking me for 300+ and gets off hit life tap, right when that happens the first paladin lay hands me since lay hands is not agro, then I keep building up agor, next pally lay hands, then keep going until the 3rd lay hands, once he does everyone comes in. I found this best because the agro stays on me and the rest of the groups don't get hit. The cleric starts healing and I save the last paladin just in case. Then by the time my cleric is oom, the last pally lay hands, and antoher groups cleric takes over until VS is dead. I have led raids at least 10 times, about 4 real, and 6 triggered VS's. It is a piece of cake, just have a tank in that group set up doing the sme way and you will not have anything to worry about. Remember 1500 hp life tap is a lot so have the main tank SUPER BUFFED with symbol, rune, and as much as a shammy can lay on him. If you can grab a warrior with his critical hit discipline USE HIM, that will build up a nice agro hitting so hard, plus a couple of crips wouldn't hurt once he gets that life tap off

VS Feb 21 death

Main group
MA=warlord (60warrior)
2 Paladins (lay hands 1 & 2)
Cleric
Bard
Cleric

There was 2 other groups... mainly nukers/chanters
Only about 10 meleed. VS is undead.. or the ones i fought were anyway, and will resist your Instrument of Nife (243dd proc). I procced 10+ times.. all resisted. Also, let tank fight for while before others melee... so that he can try to keep all agro and let it build up before others come in. At 50% nuke nuke nuke... the raid was thought of out of the blue, 15 minutes later VS was dead... the first raid i ever did.. rather quick i'd say. Basically raid fails if MA dies... so 2 paladins were send personal tells as when to /target MA blablabla /doablity X (lay hands). But we never had to as the clerics (had at least 2 or 3) never went oom.

VENRIL SATHIR: Normal version pops all the time. HE drops the good loot and the Kunark armor legs. 3-5 groups needed to take him down, depending on lvl of people. When killed, VENRIL SATHIR's REMAINS spawns shortly after. HE is for the Ranger/Druid epic. Give him a Firey Globe from the Dance of the Fireflies spell, which makes SPIRIT of VENRIL SATHIR spawn immediately after. Give SoVS the lvl 49 Cleric rez spell, which makes the weaker version of VENRIL SATHIR spawn. He can be killed with 2 groups easily, and drops 2 Pulsing Green Stones (for RNG/DRU epic).

anyone know how many people you'd need, lvls and more specifically, the classes (tank heavy, caster heavy, etc) you'd need to take him down?

VS will take a pick up raid about 4-5 groups. you will need a MA, SA and maybe a back up assist that need to be constantly chain runed and healed. you will need chanters, clerics and atleast one 57+ (if you have a good raid party) if not more tanks. let the main tank go in with the clerics and chanters to get agro for a while then send everyone int. after that you will want casters to blast him and everyone else to melee pretty much. also you will not want to HP buff anyone but the main tanks cause he life taps for 1500 and will take 1500hp back to himself even if whoever he lifetaps only has 50hp left. so if he starts lifetapping you, the less he does it the better off it is.

2 spawns?
# Feb 07 2002 at 12:14 AM Rating: Decent
Ok I am kinda confused here. I am a ranger and i have to kill this guy for the stones i need. I understand there is 2 spawns but is there 3 versions of him? in my epic walkthrough it says i kill him then his remains spawn and i give him the 49 rezz spell...or mabey i give his remains the spell then he spawns and i kill him. Anyway can anyone tell me exactly how it works please is there a hard ,soft, and remains version of him? any info appreciated thanks
RE: 2 spawns?
# Feb 07 2002 at 10:51 PM Rating: Good
OK it goes like this:
Venril Sathir (normal version) has to be killed.
Randomly the remains spawn. You hand him a globe of the fireflies. Then the Spirit of Venril Sathir spawns, which you hand the level 49 ressurection spell to. Then Venril Sathir will spawn (same level, but no lifetap punches), and he will drop 2 stones for the ranger/druid epic.
Good Luck

Is there any trick to spawning the hard VS (not the one with the DRU and WIZ epic stuff?)

Does one just kill the remains to pop him?

Again, I'm not talking about turning stuff in for the epic to spawn the wimp version.

I've never been to Karnors, but a lot of friends have. I've seen the loot and heard about the mobs, and i think Veny baby here is a great boss of a great zone. And as far as his loot... wow. Even when you look at what drops here from common stuff, Mr. Sathir takes the cake. I'll have to solo him as soon as i finish off the sleeper)
