Lord Bergurgle  

Just started camping this guy for my wife's cleric. So far the hardest part is getting the camp. Seems that there are tons of clerics that are trying to get this camp these days. We just got it, so I will post again when we get him to pop and drop.

Bergurgle was initially a difficult camp for me, as I was going solo and wasnt very used to underwater zones. What I did was sit at the top of the tower, and keep the two non-placeholder mobs Pacified (the non-placeholders are on eht left and right of Deep). Then, whenever the PH spawned, I used a stun spell, and swam to the North wall of the cave (You can use either the north or south wall, doesnt really matter). I would then break out my big nuke, and do the root/nuke routine until it was dead. Then, I would go back to the tower and wait for another.

I got super-lucky camping Bergurgle, as it only took 2 PH's to spawn. The PH's are on an exact 30 minute timer, so go watch some TV or something during the downtime.

spent 8 hours under water in that murky cave camping this guy. Got 6 tainted, 4 corrupted (4 happy druids got lucky) and no sight of Lord Dunderhead

My armor got rusty and my skin pruny for nuthin

I just spent 6 hours camping him and no spawn.

:(

Camped him with a 55 wiz and 56 cleric. Got 26 placeholders before he popped. Rather than stay underwater and constantly kill all 3 goblins, I just kept Deep targeted and checked with Bind Sight to see who was up. For the placeholders, just swam down and nuked them with Ice Comet, then followed up with another nuke to kill them. Then I gated back to where I'd bound on the aviak island. When Bergurgle popped, I loaded up on buffs. Manaskin, Hero, etc... pulled Bergurgle with ice comet again and gated. About 30 seconds later he came running up on the island. Cleric summoned their hammer pet, kept nuking with Draught of Jiva and Tishans Clash (both have a stun component). He never even did enough damage to get through the Manaskin.

Had to wait till daytime in the game for Shmendrik to pop though. I don't think he spawns at night, for most of the time camping bergurgle, there was no one else in the zone, so I doubt Shmendrik was killed.

Have sat up killing his PH for over 10 hours over two nights and nothing. Friend got him a week ago after a 30 minute wait. Who knows?

I think Lord Bergurgle is broke. =( His PH has been killed every 30mins for the past 14 hours!! And he still has not shown up once. /cry. Make it stop. Maybe this next spawn will be him. (crosses fingers)

I camped this mob lsat night with success and wanted to post some information that may be useful. I camped and killed this mob as a Lvl 51 cleric with the grateful assistance of a Lvl 49 Enchanter.
First, camp is found underwater. while you can go with another that can cast EB, it is highly reccomended that you acquire an EB item. It will make your life much easier. The loc to the Underwater tunnel is Pos 2802, Neg 897.
There are two Aqua Goblin guards in the tunnel which con green to me at lvl 51 and conned green to the lvl 49 Enchanter. Inside the cave that the tunnel leads to, thereis a tower at whose base are 4 mobs, one at each corner. These mobs are either Aqua Goblins (green) or Deepwater Goblins (Light blue to me with the occasional Dark blue to 41 chanter). The tower has two levels. On the bottom level I have only seen Aqua Goblins spawn. On the top level, can be found A Dark Elf female named Deep and three Goblin Spawns. Deep was red to me but conned indifferent. She will not attack yoou unless you attack her. The Three Goblin spawn points spwan either Deepwater Goblins (Light blue to me), Tainted (Deepwater?)Goblin (Also light Blue to me), or Lorg Begurgle.
One thing to note is that none of the mobs in this area, including tunnel, wander. So a good idea is to find a place to camp away from mobs and park it there. You will not have to worry about natural adds while you go afk for a drink. All mobs spawn in particular points at eh base and inside the tower and stay there, moving only if pulled or aggroed.
The Placeholder (PH) for Lord Begurgle is the mob that spawns right next to Deep. ( I have never not seen Deep here, however if she is not, the mobs spawn more or less on one side of the top tower platform and in this case will be th mob in the middle).
I timed the PH spawn at 30 min to the second after the last PH dies. It took Seven and a hlaf hours for Lord Begurgle to spawn for us. The spawn timer on the mobs to the side of Lord Begurgle was Six minutes.
As the mobs were light blue, we could not level pull, so the chanter and I cast Pacify on the side mobs and pulled only the PH when it spawned. I pulled him using Retribution (580ish dd).I had Sound of Force, Force, and Retribution loaded as my offensive spells, while the chanter had her Highest nuke loaded (585DD) as well as root, slow mezz, etc.. One helpful technique for those who must take aggro into consideration due to level and who try this method of Pacifying side mobs is that at the very top of the tower, just a character length and a half from the ceiling is the top rim. here, where the ceiling is open, you can stand on the walls and look into the room that spawns Lord Begurgle from above. Standing on the wall rim closest to the door and furthest from the three spawn points in this room will not cause aggro. You can sit here and med and look into the room to wait for next PH spawn. You can also cast your pacify and pull the PH/Lord Begurgle from this point. Very useful if you risk all aggroing on you due to Level.
Most of the Deepwater Goblins cast nukes of various sorts. With GMR and no resist gear up, I was able to resist most of these. Those not resisted varied. Most doing between 50 and 80 dd while others did 150-180 (uncommon) and one time I got hit with a 356 nuke. These can be difficult as the heal and nuke and shoot you with arrows while rooted. We killed them with double nukes, stuns and then dounble nukes again. This same method killed Lord begurgle, although he has more HP's and hence I needed that second stun I had memmed.
All in all, Lord Begurgle was not that hard, comparing very closely with Deepwater Goblins in difficulty. He dropped the Lord Begurgle's Crown as I believe he does every time.
I hope this helps someone.

Lord Begurgle was blue to a 52 cleric and a 54 cleric.

Cindin Cleric of the 54th Circle

At lvl 51 I camped and killed this guy solo and it only took around half my mana. Well I turned in the crown and got the spirit of flame pop, well the walkthrough that I read says the NPC doesn't help well not true I got ksed by and NPC. So now at 54 with 26+ hours of camping him just this lvl im hoping he will pop soon so I can do the epic thing, since i got Gimblox to spawn in 4 hours. One important thing that ya guys might like to hear is the ph for Bergurgle is the middle goblin, but if it is strictly a melee (war) type gob then he has no chance of popping. His ph is a clerical gob that casts wrath trust me you will know once you engage em. Just had to let you guys know about my findings.
