Vyzh`dra the Cursed
Raid Encounter
To spawn Vyzh`dra the Cursed:
Kill the seven Taskmasters (Kavamezh, Keuzozh, Mikazha, Revan`Kezh, Vezhkah, Zerumaz, and Zhe`Vozh), the two Rhozths (Ssrakezh and Ssravizh), and Warden Mekuzh.
Doing so spawns a glyph covered serpent. Kill this to spawn Vyzh`dra the Exiled. Kill him to spawn Vyzh`dra the Cursed.
Note: A rune covered serpent and Vyzh`dra the Banished will appear in the aforementioned mobs' places if they have been killed prior to an unsuccessful Vyzh`dra the Cursed attempt. The only difference is they will not drop loot.
Vyzh`dra the Cursed himself casts an AE Charm which can make this encounter interesting...

Cursed is much easier than Grummus because
A) Grummus hits for 1k while Cursed hits in the 200s-600s
and
B) cursed has one AE DoT which is casted at regular intervals and thus can be avoided. ( The zone being indoors also contributes to this. Grummus is in an outdoor zone so walls don't block his AE, if I remember right. )

He is easier then grummus. Especially if all healers have grc and rc. But he is annoying as hell with the ae charm.

Just curious, since most of the posts here are comparing him to mostly melee mobs (AoW, SoRZ, etc) how about a nasty AE dot mob like Grummus? If you've ever participated in both a PoD Grummus raid and this guy, could you compare the two plz? Thanks. =D

It used to take roughly 6 solid groups of 60's to take him down.
Now that 65 is the top level and folks have better/planar gear, he's a bit easier but 6 groups of 60th levels could still drop him in moderate gear vs the "new" high end stuff.
Seems a lot of folks forget that this zone was set for raids and groups of 60th level max and start talking about how few it can be done with now and how 6 groups is a 'zerg' force...
I did him with 6 or so groups at 60th level back when that was the top level you could get. Tough fight back then. Now? He's not so hard...

i would say, 6 groupes mini with 6 clerics mini to kill it.
Cursed is very nasty because of its aoe.
First,its aoe dot is a very powerfull DOT .Make sure you bring a lot of Healer.
Then, his aoe charm(like 10sec charm) pretty hard to resist.
Tactics:
Find a good place for caster to hide and avoid aoe.
For melees, dont hesitate to back up near casters to avoid aoe and get healed.
If some die during fight. drag corpse near casters and rezz/buff.
Can be easy a 30min fight ;)

The Curse is not a difficult fight for a well organized guild. Before I took a long break from EQ my guild on Rallos which was 60-65 with SS armor and quest gear took him down with 28 people. 3 Clerics in a CH line with a bard and necro to keep mana levels up. With a solid tank and the right DPS and Bard resists he was about a 20 minute fight. A few deaths from Charms and and the DoT, but over all, as long as the room doesn't respawn around him he is fairly easy. Now I am sure that it can be done by much smaller groups with all the PoP tier gear. Just keep the clerics behind the wall on main floor next to the ramp and you should be fine. As a level 60 cleric at the time I never went OOM. Pretty sure that you have to set a EnRage Tank also, but it has been so long.
Over all Ssra Temple is a lot of fun and lets learn the strategies a growing guild will need to handle PoP boss fights.

watched a good working guild take him with 17 people, dont need a zerg force as long as you have good tactics

My guild does it with 18 people easily, all just stand back and do ranged damage. Cept the main tank obviuosly....
This mob cons yellow at 65 so it's either 66 or 67.

is cursed undead anyone know?

Yep. very undead. Eat your heart out pallies.

Nope he ain't very undead... he's not undead at all, bit like Trak, looks undead but isn't.
actually yes shissar are all undead thru the story line they were abolished an they were all killed. So with what i have fought being , emp of ssra, rhag 1,2,an AL they have all been able to be hit with slay 3, As for others dunno, this one probably is the same.

From my observation, being a necro, many (if not all) Shissar with the graphic like the one above are in fact undead. However, Cursed is NOT undead. Want proof try it out yourself.

Where is this mob lie in and how to get to there? I reached many area of ssra, killed HP, creator and AL but not known where this snake is..
Spell data is wrong on both of spells =\ Caustic Mist is the dot, pretty heavy one. Other is as others have said a charm.. Dunno why it's got that Ice shard crud.
hey how hard is this guy, i am a 61 rogue on veeshan and was wondering how hard this guy is, like comparable to vindi? statute of ralloz zek? tormax? anything like that? AoW? pls let me kno, thanx
What makes this guy a 25 minutes fight is the AE you have to dodge or die, he casts it about every 20 seconds. We never lost a MA to this guy, he meeles like a wuss, but what makes him mean is the evil AE DoT and the fact that he mass-charms other players to help him.
A lot of guilds than can kill AoW doesnt own a chance againts this fellow.

Depends on how skilled your guild is. AOW should be a harder fight than this guy - charm should not be a problem except for the most woefully of equipped players. The dot is managable, which makes this nto so comparable to AOW, but definately an easier one.

AoW is way easier than this fool. I have killed him 3x and you take him too easy. The charm is kinda a joke but the DoT is very serious.. usually you have a pally calling the DoT timer so the dmg dealers could run and hind behind the wall. I have seen AoW guilds not able to get Rhag 2 much not even come close to scratching this guy. Oh and BTW he is in the basement of ssra
This should be the hardest fight before Emperor... AoW doesn't compare..

Actually, it's really just being able to dodge the ae, and keeping him slowed. Your clerics will be able to actually gain mana during this encounter. After you've done him a few times, the duration of the fight gets shorter and shorter. Keep him slowed, dodge the ae, and you win.

This is probably one of the funner battles I've ever had in EQ. Definitely a challenge, even moreso when you are lagging behind badly :) First time, I was perfect, 2nd time I lagged and ended up getting the AoE and died quite quickly. This fight definitely takes a lot of skill and good teamwork. I am happy that I am applying to a guild that is able to do both, and still have fun in the process :)
Hmmm, I think a group of 6 mana burn wizzy's, and a reg group could easily take this guy, if he is still left standing after being mana burned 6 times at once. And if he charms the wizzy's after mana burning it is no big deal, they won't be able to do anything without mana. This looks like it should be fun to try.
Sorry to break it to ya, but there is no way a group of MB wizards could kill this guy. Way too many hitpoints to even consider it. All that would happen would be...
You will not evade me manaburnwizard01!
manaburnwizard01 has been slained by Vyzh`Dra the Cursed.
I think you get the picture :).

Well, I guess it makes no difference now, even if there were 200 MB wizzys there, since they nerfed MB to be limited to one time a minute on a single mob. But previuosly, if ya did get enough MB wizzys' to do it, it would have been rather fun to try.
Even with 6 MB wizards. Assuming that you can cast 6 MB's on a single target at once (which you cant) it will only take like 40% of his hp. High end mobs just have too much hp.

Vyzh`Dra the Cursed as a lot more hit points than any 6 wizards can manaburn, sorry to rain on your parade
Haha, thats almost as comical as a Druid thinking he can snare / dot while dreaming about item upgrades.

This guy has been killed by various guilds on various servers even after patch. Tindi Losi and Blood of the Spider have both killed him after patch (on The Rathe). This guy is second hardest only to the emp in ssra as far as ssra mobs go.
Since August 4 patch his AE charm is very hard to resist with under 300 DR

Khalshazars Deceit is an aggro reducing proc. It procs a lot, like maybe 3 - 5 times a minute with avatar up. And once it procs, I dont even have to evade. Definitely the best rog weapon in the game to date.
Good to see this feature, will be very useful for planning raids in uncharted territories, as is more posts like WrexenOfTunrare's. Hope they get it updated on all the mobs soon
