Maligar  

ow and ****....lol

All i know is that my poor little ranger of the 15th season is now dead after runnin near him not lookin .... took a shot of 401 ... only had 386hp at the time..../sigh

Anyone know if wolf form is of any use in getting your corpse back? I hear invis works, but ivis is too unstable for my liking.

Ok, wtf just happened? I charmed him and gave him note, dopple spawned, but when he died, he simply vanished. No explanation, just vanished! I just lost 6 hours of questing for this and have absolutly **** to show for it. What a waste of freaken time! Quest must freaken be broken or something!! Bs if you ask me!!!

Maligar himself is easy...
Its when you turn in the note from his undead daughter Sera from Unrest and the doppleganger spawns that you get blinded (basically unresistable).
Ensure that you charm Maligar so that when you are done if there are multiple bards you can hand him the next note or tell him to sit and another doppleganger will spawn. "so ive heard".

First time i saw this guy was last night while on corpse retrieval for a friend who passed through there. He was the only blue one at 51. He casts and casts forever. So if you got any MR gear better put it on. Otherwise there will be lights off for the majority of the battle. I even had to use LoH because with all this darkness you never know when u are gonna die. So i would suggest if you dont have anything particular to do with him stay away. He is kinda ugly to deal with. Safe travels Norrathians.

I hate those guys! I was just running around chillin' and suddenly I'm blind and nuked to death at 31 in like 5sec! thats just wrong! gonna go back at 60 and pay him back:)

Okay, first off... most of the folks who are killing, or trying to kill Maligar don't even need to :). Unless you are a bard, working on your epic, you shouldn't even need to go near him. If you want to know exactly what it's all about, for us bards out there wondering, I will tell you exactly :).

In South Karana, Near the Well, you will find a Man named: Baenar Swiftsong. Target Baenar and Say: what doll?. He will proceed to doubt himself a bit, then hand you an invoice, for a man Named Marfen Binkdripple - which if you know SolA - he is the Merchant in Solsek Mining Co. who sells the Tinker bags/Jboots. (Yes he sells Jboots now for 5.5k) Give him the invoice, and he will Hand you a Mechanical Doll. You must take the doll to a little girl in unrest, you will find her behind the waterfall next to the gnomish spelunker. swim underwater to the right and around behind the fall, hand her the doll, and she then thanks you for the doll, and sends you back to Baenar with another note. Baenar is surprised, yet in disbelief, he hands you a note, to give to Maligar, Serra's Biological Father in WK. Aprox loc: p1300, n11150. Depending on faction you might not have to charm him to give him the note. - my faction cons indifferently. Give him the note, and Voila! The Estranged Doppleganger - You will need a full group of High 40s to low 50s to kill everything. - The reward is his head, which you must take back to Baenar, who will reward you with: Mahlin's Bongos. The Bongos must then be taken to Konia Swiftfoot, the same woman you spoke to about the Relay Torch Race. Reward: Maestro's Symphony Page 24 Bottom.

If you run into this group, you'll most likely end up doing a corpse run - like I did. As I think most people will "stumble onto" these 4 npc's - as opposed to being dumb enough to actually go looking for them - chances are your corpse will be located not far from where you first caught sight of them. Once they spot you, you will probably be blinded very quickly and your death follows shortly thereafter.

Although it's been posted that they spawn at +1000 -10000, a more accurate loc is +1186 -10682. That loc puts you at the base of a ridge and slightly south of the 4 npc's. At that point I could barely see them off in the distance.

To get to the spot, I moved to the +1000 North/South parameter and began to follow it West toward the -10000 loc. This will get you there, but at around -5000 West you'll hit a ridge with a Bandit Camp. Just over the ridge and slightly North is another grouping of Bandits. I steered North to circle the entire area and then moved back toward my goal of +1000 -10000 after I was well past them all. The only other activity I saw in the area was a Treant, but it passed quietly while I waited.

Be aware that, once in this neck of the woods, you are also quite close to the Ogre encampment. The site is out in the open and would be difficult to hit by accident, but the Ogres have a very wide "frenzy range" and you should be cautious.

Once I reached +1000 -10000, I moved toward the +1186 -10682 spot. From there I could see the npc's, but couldn't see my corpse. Just to the South of that position is a rise, from where I could survey the entire layout around the npc's. From there I spotted my corpse laying not far from one of the npc's feet.

At this point it's simply a matter of finding the direction to get close enough to your corpse to summon without crossing into someone's range and having them all aggro on you.

Last of all, once you've looted your corpse, the temptation is to run like h*ll out of the area. Resist the temptation and think your way out. There are many other things, such as the Ogres, Treants, and groups of Bandits that make this particular little corner of West Karana pretty dangerous for a solo artist.

Good luck!

I just killed him working on my eppic. Had a 58 paly, 59 enc, 53 war, 43 wiz, & 49 bard. Enc tried to charmed (and failed I think) Maligar. Him and his friends all aggroed on us & we dropped em in under 1 min. Enc finally charmed him and I handed in my note and "Maligars Enraged Dopplgan" spawned ontop of Maligar. Both conned blue to me (49) and the 43 wiz. Maligar had a cold based DS and blinded the 58 paly (with some dam good magic resist buffs on) and possibly cast other necro spells that I didn't notice. Both dropped "Old Used Robe*" 2ac Erudite wizzy only. The Dopplganger dropped Malgiars head. At the end of it all, the 2 casters were down about a bubble and Quilsa was down half a bubble & the shaman was looking very bored trying to find something to heal.
He spwans at 1,000 -10,000

He is the guy for part of the bard epic however he is not a bard, in fact he is some kind of shadow knight with harm touch and loves to fear and blind. When you hand him the note for the bard epic a Maligar Doppleganger spawns and both of these attack you. a level 50ish party can easily take these 2 and if you are 50+ only maligar and the doppleganger should aggro you. he was KOS to an agnostic woodelf bard but dubious to agnostic dark elf bard. He and the doppleganger gave no faction hits for killing them. It takes some insane MR to resits his blind spell and it seems to last forever.

We had a group of 35-40 and he feared and spanked us. He has buddies with him that also cast.

Best to just stay clear
