Lair of the Fallen (Loyalist Program)
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
NOTE - There are two versions of this task: One for Legends of Norrath (see this quest entry) and one for the Loyalist Program (information below).
This is a group task which begins with Tierna Morganna (map) in the Plane of Knowledge at location -308, +1123. To request the task, you must have a Forgotten Crypt Key in your possession. The key is purchased with Loyalty Tokens (Crowns) from Alerynril the Loyal in the neutral section of the Plane of Knowledge. There are no pre-requisites for participating in the task. You say, 'Hail, Tierna Morganna' Tierna Morganna says 'I sense the path of [the risen] within you. Have you the symbol of their kind?' You say, 'The risen?' Tierna Morganna says 'Skaramatra is not a dragon to be trifled with, friend. Where others failed, he decended unto the true form of the Dracolich. Not even dragons of the living dare venture into his lair. Though you hear my warning, somehow I sense you still wish to [venture] into his lair. The lure of draconic treasures must be powerful indeed to risk entering the depths of his power.' You say, 'I wish to venture into his lair.' Tierna Morganna says 'I see I cannot sway your decision. Speak to me again when you are [ready] to die. Did I say die? Of course didn't mean your death. I meant when you are ready to face him... in his lair... when he's at full strength. Of course I didn't mean die.' You say, 'I am ready.' Tierna Morganna says 'Away then. I will show you to the door, but once inside you're on your own. Return to me if you survive.' NOTE: This task locks as soon as you request it. You gain access to a private, instanced zone. Five group members are allowed in with the keyed person. You have unlimited access to the zone until you kill the final mob. There is also loot available from the final mob. Kill 1 Skaramatra the Risen 0/1 (Lair of the Fallen) - There is a total of 11 mobs in the zone. - Trash mobs hit anywhere from 8,000-10,000, are immune to root/snare, and have 600k-700k hps. - "a frenzied heretic" may rush you after killing a certain number of drakes (eight?). It has ~850k hps. - You must clear ALL mobs in order to make the final named active. - The final mob, Skaramatra the Risen, hits for a max ~16,500; has ~1.1 million hps; and summons. - When Skaramatra reaches 50% health, it goes inactive while 1x "A Risen Guardian" spawn at either side (two mobs total) and proximity aggro. - When Skaramatra reaches 35% health, it goes inactive while 2x "A Risen Guardian" spawn at either side (four mobs total) and proximity aggro. - For both sets of adds: Adds aren't aggro-linked. You can kill the adds on one side without the other side's mobs aggroing as long as you stay out of their range. - Skaramatra becomes targettable again after one add dies. If Skaramatra aggroes you before all adds are killed, the adds respawn. - There may be more adds (in addition to those at 50% and 35%) than what's mentioned here (confirmation needed). - A chest spawns after Skaramatra's death (can ONLY be opened by the person with the actual Forgotten Crypt Key). - Chest contains one item available to anyone in the mission. - The keyholder has a reward box pop up. They can select their choice of six available items. Chest loot and rewards: Draco Heretic Mask Drakeskin Draping Risen Drake Claw Earring Skaramatra's Token Skaramatra Servant Cloak Necrocrystal Fragment Necrotic Drake Blood Ring Loot is around Tier 9 quality (Husk/Convorteum group). Experience rewarded is relatively low (about a half an AA at Level 85). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

My experience didn't match up with other comments. 105 Beast with a cleric merc. Trash mobs were all green cons, frenzied did spawn after I had killed all but one of the trash mobs. Named took about two minutes to become active even though nothing else was up in the zone. From there I got 2 adds at 50% and he went inactive, HP locked. He reactivated once the adds were down, and then didn't spawn any other adds. Max hit from adds was 6.5k, named max hit was 11.1k. I imagine the adds and the named's DPS would be tough in-era, but I don't know how anyone 100+ would've had trouble with this. My guess is you can DPS him past the add-spawning thresholds and skip adds that way.
And Finally Decided to go look into it.... if only so I could be rid of the key.... So off to Pok To talk To Ms. Morganna I go, A 107 Necro and Pet, and Clericmerc, just to be sure... I mean... who knows what im getting myself into, right?
And Poof, She sent me to this small dungeon... A hallway with 3 rooms. 8-10ish grey conning lvl 85 Living dragons..... They Pull 2 at a time and have Substantially more hp than mos tgrey conning mobs... seem more like a lb, taking 3 dots to take down, but resisted the only disease I had... was my flashdot at the time and was resisted every one of the ohhh... maybe 5 times I cast it …
After the Hallway and rooms were emptied a small dog door opened in the bottom of the main door in the back of the hallway.... Through the Doggyflap with us....into a large chamber with a green con (Sorry didn't check level) undead dragon surrounded by 4 minions(or possibly the minions didn't spawn until I hit the Main Dragon). But Every so often MAin Dragon goes untargettable and spawns minions. at one point it was at least 8 at once. Having gotten cocky, I let merc die and had to FD until she came back. The adds seemed endless.Merc Repops and we go again, getting main dragon to 30%ish, but adds just wont stop...
Finally and suddenly seeming with 8 adds still around, he became targetable and I just went all in for him... merc had a hard time keeping me alive and died a few seconds after Main Dragon... So FD again....but this time theres only the 8 dragon spawns left and big dude is dead, with chest spawned. I decided not to wait for merc this time and was killed quickly.... Head back in All regrouped and re buffed, Finish off the remaining dragons and loot an earring. hope it tributes nice :)

This shared task is called Lair of the Risen.
The zone is called Lair of the Fallen.
The map file is called dragoncrypt.
This zone will get you your Dragoncrypt Traveler achievement (not yet listed on Zam).
The trash mobs see invis and there is a roamer. But they do not see rogue SoS, and you can zone in while hidden.

It's been a while since I've done this but is it basically a carbon copy of Lair of the Fallen?

I haven't done LoN's Lair of the Fallen but it's the same zone with different mobs and a different task name.
The setup: Level 100 Monk, Shaman, Wizard, Ranger, plus cleric and tank mercenary. I had the key for long time and just wanted to complete it for the sake of.
I tried various strategies I had read about whittling down adds and waiting until he reactivates, but nothing really worked; I got swarmed with adds. I have no mezzing in my setup either. Here's what worked.
Park your group just inside the entrance of the big arena. Buff up.
Pull Skaramatra and dps him down to around 70%. He will go immune and return to the center, and one undead drake add will spawn in each side of the room. Pull them and kill them.
What happens from now on is that every time you engage Skaramatra, he will spawn two new adds and go immune. After they are killed, you have a microscopic window in which you can damage him, but immediately after, he will spawn two new adds and go immune again. The exception to this rule is that at some point he will "open up" and you can damage him down to around 35%, where the circus of immunity begins again.
I cheesed the encounter by simply popping a form of big damage ability (Monk) or nuke (Wizard) on Skaramatra, then retreating to my camp, then killing the newly spawned adds. For example, I used my Monk's Five Point Palm and Crane Stance abilities, or my Wizard's biggest nuke. Move in, pop the nuke on him, retreat, kill the adds that spawn. Near the end of the ecounter he would typically spawn four adds at a time, which would sometimes aggro in pairs, or all four at once. I could handle it, so I just rinsed and repeated until Skaramatra was dead from the final Wizard nuke.

Found an interesting way to pull with a bard. We tried with a group of 4x 85's and 2 mercs. We couldn't touch the final boss, but eventually managed to get the mobs all cleared by pulling into the bosses room.
Bard used DA song on himself, agro'd all the mobs and took them to a corner of the room. Rest of group followed after when it was clear and watched as they pathed their way back. Be warned about the pathing though. It's absolutely horrible! Sometimes the mobs would wander toward the group just because of bad pathing. So be prepared to move the group.

First of all, this is called "Lair of the Risen" not Fallen.
Second. " If Skaramatra aggroes you before all adds are killed, the adds respawn." is wrong. The dragon must be aggroed or you will get a chain of pops that will kill you.

and that maybe it would open if i had a reason to go there. let's see. i used my loyalty tokens- over 800 of them to get the darned key, i asked for the mission, there is an achievement on my logs that says i need to go there to do the achievement- so why do i not have a reason to go there ????
Success comes when preparation meets opportunity -- and EQ is no exception.

At 70% health exactly, he went untargetable/unattackable and spawned 2 "a risen guardian." After approx 2 minutes, he started to attack again.
He seems to be maxing at 16993. Flurries. And is considered Undead. Paladin tank is a plus on this one. The 25k hits are helping alot.The risen guardian's are undead as well. He summons every minute or so, and it's quite annoying. He also Rampages.
At 35% health he went unattackable (this time targetable)and spawned 2 more "a risen guardian." After about 2 minutes, once again, he started attacking again.
Now I'm not sure if my health %ages are different because of time (my group doesn't have a TON of dps), or if the %ages above are incorrect. I'm typing this as I kill him to ensure all info is correct, and I can triple check.
Upon death a chest spawns. When you /open it, a window pops up with 7 different options for the key holder. Ear, neck, back, ring, ranged, mask, face - 1k hp or so each.
Chest has 1 of the options (same options given to key holder's window) inside of it. To exit, talk to "Image of Tierna Morganna" and tell her "Return."
First Alla post in 11 years of playing - guess it's time to start contributing :)
Edit: 512 plat upon hailing Tierna Morganna in PoK - and /taskt shows no lockout timer. Key is no longer in holders inventory.

I notice that there is no Augment slots on the loot drop examples given, is that correct? Clearly if it were, no one would want any of these drops.Can anyone confirm if this is just a mistake or not....
