Brother Balatin is a skeletal monk located on a pyramid in the wizard spires of the Dreadlands, at +981, +9057, +1102. You need to feign death and catch him as you stand or he is KOS to you. Hail him as any other mob, and you get the following response:

You say, 'Hail, Brother Balatin'

Brother Balatin turns toward you. A transparent human face materializes upon the skull. As he speaks the smells of rotted rat corpses rushes into your face. You must fight the urge to vomit. What discipline do you [follow]?

You say, 'I follow the brotherhood of the Lost Circle.'

Brother Balatin says 'Then we are one. The rebirth of our Circle shall start with you. I have waited decades for your arrival. Seek the living brothers within Tunaria. When you have earned your garb, you will be [ready for the true drape].'

You say, 'I am ready for the true drape.'

Brother Balatin says 'Seek the broken flute of our master, taken from us by the Iksar twins of Vistrei. To me they will come along with your robe and to you will come the dawning of the new brotherhood.'

You can get the Robe by completing the Rathe Mountain Whistling Fist Quest. The flute is split into two pieces. One is a Metal Pipe off of an Iksar Betrayer in Chardok (Identifies as Fi). The other is a Metal Pipe off of a Drolvarg Pawbuster in Karnors (Identifies as Zan). Hand these three items in to Brother Balatin and he will give you the Robe of the Whistling Fists.

Brother Balatin says 'May you have the correct items or lost forever will be all.'
Brother Balatin says 'May you have the correct items or lost forever will be all.'
Brother Balatin holds his arms out and a fine robe materializes before your eyes. You grab it just in time to see the skeleton fade from existence.

Balatin despawns.

Your faction standing with Whistling Fist Brotherhood got better.
Your faction standing with Combine Empire got better.
Your faction standing with Swift Tails got worse.
You gain experience!!

Need missing dialogues, /loc of quest mobs, list of additional quest rewards.

Brother Balatin

How rare is Brother Balatin?

I've been by there 4 times before, when i didn't have the quest items, of course :(, and he was up.

Now that i've gained the quest items, i find out he's a rare spawn that took two other monks another 20hrs+ to get to spawn.

If this is true can anyone respond with a tip to make him spawn. If this is in-correct pls lemme know :)

I just killed the PH's yesterday.
They are on a 6 minutes spawn cycle.
Worked well and Balatin spawned during night time and NOT at 10am.

Hope that helps

Robe Song Hotbox

Short cut for the robe song.

Open your inventory and copy the Chest Inventory slot to a hotbox so you can just tap the number as you would any other fighting move. Sure it's one more thing to work with...but darn well worth it.
lost attribs.

ok.. here is my question what about all the AGi, Str, dex, and sta we lose.. guess it is worth it.. but I dont really like the though of HAVING to turn the song on every 6 seconds have enough to do.. hehe
HOW TO HOTKEY: 101
# Jan 17 2001 at 5:10 PM Rating: Default
This is a little trick I learned a long time ago, so for those who don't know:
1) Go to your main screen view, the one that shows all the buttons and stuff
2) Click on Options
3) Click on Keyboard
4) Click on NEXT until you see a box showing USER DEFINED 2, or something like that
5) Click the number "6" on the number pad on your keyboard
6) Click on BACK until you see a box showing MOVE RIGHT
7) Click the number "6" on the number pad on your keyboard
8) Click on BACK until you get back to the main screen view
What you now have is a hotspot on your HOTKEY pad, in Spot number 2.
Any button you put in that spot now automatically activates every time you turn right, as long as you use your number pad to move around, which I always do. I have used this to increase skill in Sense Heading, Sneak, Mend, etc...and it works great.
When I get my Robe I will hotkey my Chest item, yes you can do this to, and then every time I turn right while I am fighting, bammo, Jonathan will whistle for me.
Aye, a very nice Robe indeed. )

Turn right a lot when you are fighting do you? I'd like to see this guy in action...the amazing rotating monk.

Anyone know what locs/area the pawdusters spawn? Both those dungeons are pretty massive...

Pawbuster drolvarg spawn in the Drolvarg warlord room . It s for me the hardest room of Karnor to break there are 4 Drolv Bodyguard which are about lvl 51 usually (so summone) and the named or PH. Don t know about the mob in chardok though.
The Haste
# Sep 29 2000 at 3:41 PM Rating: Decent
The haste effect on the robe gives 30% or so Haste from the monks I've met with this robe. Looks cool, and the effect stacks with Haste items such as Rakusha, FBSS, COS, etc..
Important missing step...

Brother Balatin is aggressive to all at all times. The only way you can turn in the items to him is to have an enchanter charm him I believe. I plan on testing this myself soon, as I just got my Robe of the lost circle.
RE: Important missing step...
# Aug 06 2001 at 2:47 PM Rating: Decent
Of course, you could always use Sneak to get behind him, then give him the items...
Indeed we do
# Aug 02 2000 at 12:22 PM Rating: Decent
We have known for a long time, because we need a copy of the song in order to make the robe. The downside is that you need to right click the robe every 6 seconds to maintain the 'song' !! SIGH. Of course this quest is an awesome quest, and the people who have rated it are obviously not those who consider that this is probably one of the best items in the game.
Not sure you guys know..
# Aug 01 2000 at 9:42 AM Rating: Decent
but that effect is a bard song. It adds STR and AC, as well as a sizable (15% or so) attack speed increase. All in all, this looks like a nice item for you monks.
