This guy will agro from a long distance, even on my 85 bard. I was surprised to run up and have a group of 4 of them hitting on me. My merc began to clear them and I almost didnt get her under control before she wiped them all out. I backed off far enough to lose agro, dismissed my merc, and ran back over. Maligar decided he wanted to pick a fight again with an 85 bard so I charmed him. I made him follow me around for a little while before I let him spawn his better half. Once you give him the note, he disappears and the Dopplehanger appears and attacks. Takes all of 5 seconds to kill and collect the head.

Confirmed that lvl 39 charm works just fine (Solon's Bewitching Bravura)...
Pulled all Maligar's buddies on 56 warrior one at a time & killed them, then put cleric's HoT on my lvl 47 bard & dragged Maligar's bum over to me with charm, handed him note, he respawned into Maligar's Enraged Doppleganger version immidiately. Killed him with warrior & looted the head on bard.

Btw my bard is a drakkin & was KoS to Maligar.

I had a druid wolf me that brought me to Dubiously. and then i alliance buffed him and it got me to indifferent well my cleric that i had with me got aggro so i had to charm him and did the turn in and it went through no problem. Hope that helps anyone. I Wish i could have tried before aggro but didnt
How it works
# Sep 18 2006 at 1:10 PM Rating: Decent
OK now this is it listen carefully. You don't have to pull any other mobs then Maligar himself just by using Solon's Bewiching Bravura a 39th level song then move away from the camp and when your clear, hand in the note and then the doppleganger should pop kill him and loot the head. Oh no.... you don't need the mask...... and yes this is the best way to do it.... loc for him is roughly +1200, -10900 or so... GOOD LUCK!!! =D

I used a mask of deception to get my faction from Dubious to Apprehensive, and was able to turn this in and spawnt he doppleganger at lvl 45.

# Mar 11 2005 at 4:29 PM Rating: Decent
I tried to turn in my note yesturday and he attacked me.....Im assuming its because he has Bloodsabre(dark elf) faction. Im guessing that the only way to do the turn in is the ol charm trick, get a mask of deception or get a chanter to cast DE illusion on you. I tried to charm him, but the charm I had was not strong enough to land on him....you need Solon's Bewitching Bravura to charm him, Solon's Song of the Sirens wont stick, hes to high of a level. So, Im off to get the Bravura and try again. And, as a side note, you are going to want to bring a group with you in case things get nasty....he's no light weight.
Be careful

I just tried to hand in my note yesterday, Lamented his bodyguards, snuk up behind him, and turned in the note. All I got was, "I Will do nothing to aide beings like you." And he ate my note, and dident spawn his Doppleganger. So be careful when turning it in... Sol A is a pain.
RE: Be careful
# Aug 12 2004 at 8:09 AM Rating: Decent
I can vouch for this. My 44 bard turned in the note in same manner and Maligar said same thing...I will not aide beings like you. My bard is not agnostic therefore cannot use mask of deception. THinking of trying a dark elf illusion using 65 chanter alt since mask does same effect. Anyone know if this is level restricted to 51+?

I was running through karana today when i happened to see Maligar and his buddied. I had forgotten he was part of the bard epic, noted that he was dark blue to me and decided I wanted the xp for whackin him. I pacified the lot, individually pulled and killed his buddied, rested and medded a bit, then killed ole maligar. Bit of a whimp really.

It seems years since the first time I traveled through West Karana and "discovered" Maligar and his little group of bushwackers. I was young and weak then, merely 15. Well, I paid him and his bullies a visit last night, and surprise, I'm all grown up now, 53 to be exact. As I approached the spot where my corpse laid so many "years" ago I slowed down, carefull to inch my way closer. The years had made me wiser. As I got closer I began to cast Harmony over and over on the closest scoundrel until I was finally in range and it worked. I pulled the first victem, I introduced myself, she did not seem to remember me, no matter she soon fell over dead from the sting of a swarm of poisonous insects. I pulled the next and the next until only Maligar was left. I took a moment and rested beyond the ridge, just out of Maligar's sight. I ran through in my head how Maligar had blinded me as a boy and took but 1 spell to kill me in seconds. I knew I was stronger now,I gathered my rage, stood up and walked right up to Maligar and struck him with my Tarnished Driveshaft. He began casting, Blindness!, I resisted. I cast Nulify Magic, it took. I saw the concern on Maligar's face as I began to cast again. I cast Winged Death! it hit. Maligar, doubled in pain, continued casting, I resisted, resisted, resisted. I smiled at Maligar as I cast Breath of Ro, it hit. One last spell, Starfire! I knew Maligar would soon be dead. I stood there and watched as the life drained from his body.......90 seconds later and it was over, Maligar fell Dead! The fears of the Boogey Man in Karana vanished from my mind. I walked away happy with the day.

I tried taking him on with my 55 ranger (not knowing who he was or what he was for). One Firestrike landed on him for 302...knocked his hp's down to 97% /sigh.

So, he has a bucketload of hp for a level 40 something mob.
Don't Charm
# Jun 20 2003 at 10:38 AM Rating: Decent
It is not necessary to charm Maligar. I am a half-elf bard, lvl 51, and went with a few of my guildies (49 Sham, 49 Ranger, 52 Necro).

I lulled, and then singled pulled Maligar's freinds. (Who all conned indifferent to me). Then I just gave Maligar the note and his evil spawned when I clicked give.

Word of advise, play your magic resist song with drum in hand before you hand him note, as I got feared that instant and by the time I made it back to fight, Maligar Evil had only 10% of his life left so I ended up missing most of the kill. :(

My 39 ranger was another victim to Maligar. Like so many before, was just wandering along north wall of West Karana, off doing something else. Glanced back at my screen, health was at 5%. Death came to claim me soon after. Camoed myself and dragged my corpse to safety, worked well. Stay away from this dude if you're not doing the bard quest!!

He spawns with a group of NPCs at approximately pos1000 neg10000, a bit northeast of the Ogre temple, on a raised platform in the rocky area along the northern zone wall.

Maligar was indifferent to my Half Elven 46 Bard. I decided to Charm anyway. He broke it early (it's a 1 minute duration normally) and proceed to Root, Fear and double DoT me. The second attempt went better :)

He poofs the moment you press the "Give" button, spawning his Doppleganger, from whom one gets "Maligar's Head" for the Page 24 Bottom part of the Bard Epic.

Same Tune
# Mar 29 2003 at 5:06 AM Rating: Excellent
Have had a grudge match going with this guy for a long, long time. He dropped my monk who was trippin' thru the woods innocent and vulnerable. Had a bit of trouble getting my corpse, so I set out for revenge. My monk was mid-30 first time and was never able to come close to killing him right up to late 40's (monk vs caster scenario = Loading, please wait).

Finally tried for revenge using my druid, starting at level 48. Had three or four close calls until he dotted me and I didn't pay enough attention and died well after I zoned out. I tried every technique I had ever used as a druid and nothing worked. I mean nothing. Finally, I decided I was tired futzing around and just loaded up on DD's, buffed up, and snared him away from the camp. Just stood toe to toe and casted and smacked him 'till he died. Took me down to about 15 percent health which was way, way better than I had ever done before. I was really surprised that I did kill him, but it got to be a matter of pride. We all know what pride goeth before... Anyway, all the normal tactics were just useless against this guy. He hits very hard and interrupts your casts, he casts DoT's on you and debuffs and disperses your SoW and on and on. Also, he won't run after you very far, just stays close to the group and hits you with a DoT when you come back to "lure" him away...big mistake. Without gate, he'd have killed me 5 or 6 times instead of twice (counting the first time with my monk). Oh well, finally got my revenge and I can go back to useful endeavors... :-)

BTW for the bards who can't figure out why we try to kill this guy, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. I'm sure that enlightened you considerably. (Translation: we stupid, but happy).

We just did this guy for a bard who was KOS to Maligar. Kill all the "friends" hanging around Maligar by single pulling them. Then the bard needs to charm Maligar, turn him into his pet. Then the bard hands the note to Maligar to spawn the enraged dopelgangar.

We tried Cinda's Charismatic Carillon which didn't work, we tried all his illusion masks and wolf form. None of it worked. The only way the bard could turn in was to charm using Solon's Bewitching Bravada

He went down within about 60 seconds with a group of 6: 52 bard, 51 druid, 60 cleric (who didn't need to cast one heal), 58 rogue, 56 enchanter, and 51 warrior.

His faction is Bloodsaber. He was KOS to the overtly good people in the party that went with me to murder him. He was indifferent to me, and I am indifferent to the Bloodsabers.

I just killed this guy with a 50th level Paladin. Not too tough until the very end. Some things that confuse me:

1) Just how many friggin HP's do npc casters have?
2) What PC caster of ANY class can punch for 97 points?
3) How come these guys are scowling at EVERYONE? The only reason I killed him was for payback from 25th or so when he killed me for going through W. Karana along the north wall (How dare I!?!)

I kicked his butt up between his teeth and then, at like one bubble of health... I just couldn't hurt him... He began those punches and made me LOH... At that EXACT moment, I began doing damage again and he started "the walk"...

All in all I just HATE this guy!

took him out last night solo. Lvl 52 bard. well now lvl 51 again. first time i made the mistake of using my weapons while i feared and chanted him. after trying to retrieve my corpse and the doppleganger standing on top of it, I selo'd around in a large circle a few times. picking up my corpse and gear on each pass. using the selo's song that lasts for what 2.5 minutes? I chanted him to death with fear and chants. no chains. fear would wear off once ina while till i got it reapplied. would have to break off the fight to heal up after getting hit with a few dots of his. but he would always chase me. good thing his regen is rather slow. 2 or 3 times of healing up to full and he was toast. aftr handing maligar the note. run away quite some distance then slowly walk back into dopplegangers range and he is the only one that will come at you. maligar wil stay put.

Having killed him before, by accident while helping a friend with her bard epic, I can say he isn't a real problem for me, at the time being a 48 sk, anyways, he does drop more than just a worn robe at times. The robe he drops is "Maligar's Robe," and is No-Drop, Lore, and Magic, although the specifics of the robe i cannot remember, as being an sk, i really had no need for it. Obviously, this isn't a common occurance, as i have yet to see the stats on this robe posted, or even the robe itself listed as a drop, although at the time of killing him, it did seem a decent robe, other than the No-Drop problem. Since I killed him, we had to wait for his punkass to respawn so the bard could do her thing... anyways, if anyone else has seen this robe and can remember the stats, drop me an email, i might grab one for my chanter if the stats are there. But again, yes, he does drop more than a worthless worn robe, although obviously, not very often.
