i kept killing the 3 on the upper plateau and eventually it spawned a undead tainted then right after that it spawned a live tainted then corrupted gorilla. so killing the 3 up top willl eventually spawn what you need
Bugged?

Note the picture of the gorilla. The tainted that spawns the corrupted has the exact same look as the corrupted one (corrupted has a better picture on this website.)

The tainted's that look all decaying and rotten are NOT the ones that spawn the corrupted. It's an easy way to tell when to get your hopes up :)

Confirmed!

The undead tainted don't spawn corrupted, I ended up killing 3 undead tainted, with no corrupted. Just killed 1 "living/undecomposed" tainted and corrupted spawned.

Tottering gorilla techs.

Ok, here's the deal: There are FOUR tottering gorillas, but only three of them spawn on the upper plateau. One spawns down in the jungle. It's best to dot him, and then drag him up the stairs (unsnared is faster), then dot the other three until you have all four. Then snare one by one, AE kill them all, and tainted will spawn.

You can track the low one from the stairs usually.

Just kill "tottering gorillas". The "live" version of the tainted popped after 3 kills, then the corrupted chain spawned. I now have my green bark.
Spawned mine fast

The Previous Post is totally correct. I killed the Tottering Gorilla's and had my Tainted Spawn within approx 20 minutes of starting. I had the live version first time, easiest spawn as far as the tainted have gone for me so far. 2 mobs to go 8(

This guy will spawn in the NW corner of the zone. Run up the stairs on top of a mountain where there are only 3 Tottering Gorillas. Kill all 3 and u might get undead Tainted or Live Tainted. I got live on first kill in 5 min. Got lucky hope this helps. U don not need to kill any other ones that are not on the mountain thingy.

Some places where I've setup shop on the upper ledge.

1) north end of the west ledge, east of the 5 columns, very rare adds, but you have to pull from farther away

2) just northwest of the stairs, on the little hill, might get a few adds here

3) stand at the SW corner of the ruins at +2830, +4080, stuff paths by on the east and north sides of the ruins. Lots of gorillas to the north just over a small rise (actually lots of stuff paths just over that small rise). Got jumped once or twice per hour here.

Easy

This part may definitely be soloed. With the exception of the Corrupted Mammoth in Everfrost, this is the easiest piece of the druid epic.

Running around near the ledge, tracking all gorrilas, I was able to make the tainted pop in under half an hour.

KILL ALL GORRILAS!

Some people have stated that you need only kill a certain type.. The normal gorrilas are the PH's for this mob's PH (if that mkes sense to ya lol)... All gorrillas have the same spawn points. The undead ones are more rare in this area than the live ones, but killing the live ones makes the undeads pop. Seems like you must kill so many undead ones before the tainted pops.

I can also confirm that what Scot posted below is true.

Much luck, and hope I helped somehow 8)

Besides the invis trick to tell if which tainted you need, looking at them is another way. The undead one has its flesh falling off it. The live one that spawns the correpted does not. It is a smaller gorrilla and looks like a nornal one with all its flesh/fur intact. But the other ones are still PH's for them for...at least for me...I had two UD one spawn, killed them and the live one spawned.
For all you newbs

The easiest way to determine whether the tainted gorilla is the live version or the undead version, is to use invis. If you are invisible, then the live version will con indifferent, and if its the undead version, it will con scowling.

I killed this guy (live version) and the corrupted last night. The tainted conned yellow, and I'm lev 42, so no way he's 32-37.

Just a hunch (hope I don't sound like too much of a smart ******* I don't mean to), but I have yet to see anything walking around with half its face rotted off get called living...

best spot I found

well it's a 7hr camp.... long and hard but me(53 ranger) and my gf (55 druid) got this guy to spawn tonite. now remember, dont get too happy if u see a tainted on your tracking, cuz there are 2 versions of them... a live one and a undead, undead DOES NOT spawn the corrupt unfornately. We sat around loc 2822, 3767 and pulled the totterings to there. bring a ranger who knows how to use his /tracksort with you. I first tracksorted by con, easiest way to filter out the greenies and pick up the totterings. then sort by distance, to pull the ones near us. They all will spawn near that point over a couple hills at most. I do snare and root, she dots and invis. Mobs were dropping like flies. Anyways, this is the best spot we found cuz u can get most of the totterings on track with the least of adds. Good luck to yall druids out there.

Where is a good spot to pull to when camping Tainted/Corrupted Gorilla? I find everytime I try to pull anything to a part of this zone i always get adds and have to gate? Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanx

I have just started camping these guys. 2 hours in. I found the best spot is behind the ruins at exactly P4300 P3600. Med in peace. No adds when killing them.

I run out invis in wolf form. Agro them whithout getting hit so your invis stays up. They see you. When you get back to the ruins backside, Snare, Root, Winged Death, Breath of Ro, Drifting Death, Root again, Camo then med. That will drop them with like 35% mana expended.

I use snare-root-dot-med tactics when killing the PH's. before i med though, i cast invis on myself to lower agro (undead see invis), just my 2cp :)

Only Live Tainted Gorillas spawn Corrupted?
# Sep 02 2001 at 12:45 AM Rating: Decent
I've read at eqdruids.com on epic site that only live tainted gorillas spawn corrupted gorilla and that tottering gorillas are PH... Anyway I've camped EJ for a while and all the tottering gorillas are undead. So what i want to know is if undead tottering gorillas will spawn a live tainted? (all i've seen are undead tainted)

Guess I got lucky; killed 3 totterings, and tainted spawned. Took me about 15 minutes to realize I had to go UP the stairs to the upper plateau in order to find the tainted; kept thinking that tracking was just ******** me around again :P

Tainted was the normal one, and Corrupted pops right on top of him; if you're LOM from tainted, make sure you're a ways back when he dies; Corrupted will pop and just sit there - I was able to med up at my leisure before pulling him. A bit harder to kill than the Corrupted/Tainted, but not much...

Indeed EQdruids is correct....kill a crap load of tottering and EVENTUALLY you'll get the live one....good luck

hes for the druid epic quest. Sits northern most part of the zone up from the stairs. Only hard thing about killing him is all the aggroing greens around him :p I hate those little dinosaurs.
