Long ago, Khati Sha was a famed Vah Shir who enjoyed exploring. This love of exploration, however, was his downfall, as he was captured by the Shissar on one of his trips. Under the orders of Emperor Ssraeshza, he was brought in to the Shissar's temple to be interrogated, tortured, and experimented upon.

One of these experiments went very wrong, and in the accident both Khati Sha and his tormentors perished. All surviving records of the incident were sealed by Imperial order, and it is written that any further investigation into the incident would be considered treasonous.

The spirit of Khati Sha now resides in the Acrylia Caverns, located on the edge of the Grimling Forest just south of the Tenebrous Mountains. The Grimlings which control the area fear the retribution that would be unleashed if Khati Sha were to be made aware of the horrors committed upon him in the Shissars' temple. Therefore, much of Grimling legend consists of untruths -- lies to cover up a treacherous history of a once-great, famed Vah Shir.

This mob cons red at 61, didn't fight it.
Pops in room where you farm VT shards.
Cons indifferent so didn't fight it.
Seems non permanent targetable.
Weird.

New mob, huge mob
# May 26 2003 at 2:05 AM Rating: Decent
Well me and my guild tried to get a new mob to spawn... not only were we succesful, we got our asses handed to us by it. Now i dont know if hes new or not, i just dont see him here so im reporting.

That mob is called a Death Warden. (??!? Humm could be wrong on mob name ) Not a Undead Warden. Its level 65. Hits pretty hard reported 800 from a tank. Also use a nasty AE that prevents anyone from casting. I have found no info yet on this mob so im sharing.

I think the best way to take him is to get the tanks far from the clerics so that the clerics can actually cast cheals. Also he hits for 800 unslowed ( wouldnt know if hes slowable since he used his AE on all the casters ).

Hes the mob that pops if you do the Sacrificial Cauldron quest. He also looks to get healed each time a sacrifice jumps in the cauldron. Dont know if thats a big or small heal.

Hes a hard mob, that has a lot of HP, expect repops while fighting him unless you clean the room just before the quest is done in the jail. I dont know about the quest part, im just reporting on the mob.

Takes a cheal formation to get him... kills a 6k life tank in less than 5 sec.

More info when we retry him, and a mug shot too ;)

Well...I have seen these mobs on other peoples computer screens.

Well, The Ward of Life is quite easy as I saw...
The other one, Warder of Death, CH's every time a mob called "A Sacrifice" spawns, and yes you can kill the sacrifices, but be sure to snare them if you can. The more sacrifices that make it to the pot, the longer the fight is gonna be with the Warder of Death

I have been trying to trigger the ring events in inner Acrylia without success unfortunatly and i'd love it if you could fill me in on how to actually get these "Wards" to spawn. Any other information about these mobs or other rings down there would also be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone give hints as to where the Grimling Sage spawns at?
I know where all the others are but I haven't seen any information on the sage.
Also, what priest and mage do you refer to at the end of your post? the Arch Sage and the High Priest(not the high priest)?
Thanks!

In thew new inner acrylia, in the room where the Grimling Warlord spawns (This room has a throne at one end, sort of rectangular with 3 'layers' of flooring), the center of the floor acts like a door, I think it can be opened. But when you click on it you get "You noticed somethign amiss with the floor panels at your feet; however you cannot seem to get them to move."

Any one have any idea how to get this to open?
#REDACTED, Posted: May 09 2003 at 2:20 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Grimling Arcanist dunno where he spawns it was me (49 warrior) a 65 druid an a 65 chantie who keeled him, he hits HARD an kind of fast, hit for a low of 165 but for a max of 506.

Not far from the entrance (turn right from entrance and then first chamber on the right) the Shik'nar have decided to dwell now. Common mob there is "A Savage Shik'nar".

They drop "Pristine Acrylia Shard". This item cannot be sold to merchants. Most likely a quest component.

More new mobs ... Haven't explored what they are yet, but all show up on druid track from the Gate.

These mobs are all light and dark blue to level 63.

a sanctum deathpriest
a sanctum bloodguard
a sanctum corpsemaster
a sanctum spiritslaver
a grimling prison guard
Spiritist Kama Resan
Spiritist Andro Shimi
a sacrificial cauldron(RED)
Vhalek Shah


A green mob, a mutated chrysalis also shows up on tracking from the gate ... Soon, I'm going to get a group and explore these new xp mobs, just for fun. :)
RE: New mob
# May 02 2003 at 4:46 PM Rating: Decent
All those mobs are in Inner Acrylia. Vhalek Shah is a Vah Shir who will attack you if you get close to him. He dropped nothing when we dropped him :)The two spiritualists are for a Warder of Life ring. Need groups to do this.

The mutated chrysalis becomes the burrower. I'm not sure if its through a turn in, quest, or just time that does it.

Correct its a quest component, need 8 of them , theres a quest NPC in the town by TM zone in GF, after the Vah Shir take it over, gives you a container to fill with the shards, reward is approx 750 pp

i came to farm acrylia and did not see a single mob that i used to encounter here. everything close to zone was light blue at 61 and easily dispatched by my pet. I did not see a single SK, or any mobs that were horribly resistant to magic based spells. The gate that was previously locked was open the entire time i was there, but i did not venture past it. Hope this info helps.

Anyone here ever taken on Witchdoctor Gnorgtarg for Grimling Medicine Pouch? His name is not on the beastiary listing, but he drops <https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=16221> so he's worth fighting. How hard is he, how do you get him to spawn, and where is his location?

Two people in AC asked me for a CoH and I didn't know where they were so I sent my eyeball out and targeted them. Went to CoH and POP! A Grimling Hero pops on me HT's me and since I was right by the zone... I zoned. I had Virtue and Kei on me... he took me down to 20m. He was dark blue to me also.

CoH
# Dec 04 2002 at 12:15 PM Rating: Good
Was hunting Acrylia for the first time last night with 65 dwarf pally. He goes off scouting and is summoned into a lava pit.

Me, smart mage that I am, tries to CoH him and "A voice whispers in your mind, 'There are no heroes here....., Well, maybe just one! You need help? I'll help you!' SMACK! 135, 911 HT, SMACK! 135. I was naked and unbuffed at the time so next thing I see is: LOADING. PLEASE WAIT.

Obviously can’t CoH in Acrylia. I summoned the Grimling Hero instead. The pally drowns himself in the lava, and we are both sitting at the Nexus rubbing our heads in disbelief. In comes the necro! So now me, 59 mage, unbuffed but now uber equipped in my old flowing black robe, 55 necro, and 65 pally descend on Acrylia. Corpses recovered pronto thanks to the necro.

This girl wants revenge so I CoH and in comes the Grimling Hero. Blue to 59 mage. Pally pulls aggro so fast the Hero never got off his HT! Pets roll, necro throws 4 Splurts, POW!, and I nail him at least 8 times with Seeking Flame of Seukor. 35k hps gone in a matter of seconds! All the bugger drops is mages so if you take him, the only reward is sweet revenge.

If you ever fall in the lava.../quit out. No really..when you come back in you'll be at the entrance. You can do that in ToV as well. Little tip for ya ;)

When i used CoH, I got this message:

"A voice whispers in your mind, 'There are no heroes here....., Well, maybe just one!'

Then a Grimling Hero spawned. Yellow to 55.

Mages, be WARNED
RE: Call of the Hero
# Nov 07 2002 at 11:08 PM Rating: Good
Same thing here.

He harm touched me for 911 then proceeded to hit me for 150's right after I CoH'd my friend.

Yellow at 56th so logic says it has to be level 57 (con'd blue to a 60th level chanter).

Going to get revenge on the bastage tomorrow.

EDIT: There were four of us in AC again last night. Milandrah (60 chanter), Merryglow (49 cleric), Solsun (55 Beastlord) and myself (now 57 magician) were bored at the zoneline (the front end of AC had been cleared). We decided to buff up and give the Grimling Hero a bit of payback. Once again I'd like to confirm this guy is 57th level (con'd even to me).

He will spawn the instant you start casting CoH, not at the end like I remembered. Although I've resisted some of the deathbringers HT's when my MR is around 200, this guy's 911 HT landed for full with my MR at 214.

I had to zone out for a minute to loose aggro and to regain a few hitpoints. When I came back in he was still on the loose. I made an air pet, hit him with BO4 and sent him in.

Air pet was hitting this guy for mid to high 40's. Solsun's warder was hitting him for high 30's to low 40's. Pretty decent armor class if you ask me (my pet usually hits for mid to high 50's on most mobs).

Even with tash I had to cast malosi twice (first one was resisted). Tried shock of swords (magic based DD), first cast partially resisted (landed for just under 200) and second cast was fully resisted. Not sure if this was just bad luck on two casts or not. However using Char (fire based DD) every cast landed for full. My air pet landed a few stuns but I didn't see enough sucessful stuns to change my mind about this guy having high MR (maybe one in ten stun spells landed).

Based on rough numbers I'd estimate this guy's hitpoints around 30-35k (700 point nuke doing 2% per cast). Dropped no loot, not even coin or vendor trash. Very good xp though. We'll be messing with him more and more when boredom sets in.

umm...no it's not. At lvl 54(ish) SK's get the Unholy Aura disc which allows their HT to become disease based ( for less resistances ) and do 150% more dmg.

Theres a lot more to this zone than most think. theres a key quest to get into the castle section of acrylia. The quest is very difficult and time consuming. the 25/25 bard/pal/sk wep drops during this quest. There are 5 ring events inside the castle. Supposedly the Boss of this zone Tashakhi "The Master" Is supposed to be on par with emp of ssra.
