My ranger's Anguish weapons did no damage, but my merc could punch him. He can also melee himself to death on anyone with a DS shield as long as they can tank it.
Also, he won't despawn if you don't aggro him in the first 15 mins or so. My characters went linkdead right after I spawned him, came back about 20 mins later and he was still there.
My beastlord died on the way to the fight, and by the time I got her there he was gone. No text on my screen about him dying, no corpse anywhere. So I highly recommend making sure the beast gets a few hits in... Hopefully I can wait for Halmia to respawn and give her the Seal again.
Edit: I can confirm that Halmia will not take the Seal again. She says she has no need for it. This means redoing every or most parts of the epic again, so take it from me, make sure you get this guy the first time!
Ok so I'm a lvl 53 beastlord with maxed out stats.... on the last kill before i finally get my claws.... and im goingto try to solo him with a merc... wish me luck!
When you approach, Draz and his warder are in separate huts. PET PULL Draz first and fight. He's slowable and can be hit with magic type spells. When he's around 40%, pull his warder into the action. This keeps Draz from running at low health. Draz dies, then slow and finish off his pet who IS snareable AND able to be hit with your normal weapons and spells.
He's easy enough, as a 71 beast with about 9k HP I solo'ed him. Didn't resist any spells, and don't think he hit any higher than 150. Usually was in low 60's though.
He ran at 13%, and didn't path so that I had any adds. Dropped everything listed above. He spawned at Mushroom Huts for me, but can spawn at any Huts.
Well went through lots of worrying & sweating after failing on spawning Draz, only had his pet up, but finally destroyed my Seal of War & turned both claws together to Dumul and got new Seal of War with refreshed claws, went to Grove with tracker, checked if neither of them were up (Dumul or pet) and turned it in, was not bugged this time, got my lewtz, omw for final turn in! Thanks a lot to guildies, friends and folks from General Chat on Maelin for all the help! And best of luck to all you Beasties who are on this silly path of the Epic :D
This guy resisted FIRE spells. Otherwise, no problem landing anything else on him. Was easy to pull without his warder. Used pet to attack, pet hold to pull him to us.
Just curious...none of our weapons worked on him tonight....was killed by beasties warder, and cleric nukes.....we were told only monks with epic weapons would be able to harm him....seems thats wrong...two monks with 1.0's and a 75 paly...couldnt touch him....really pissed me off...../grats beastie tho...we worked it out...mob is a wuss otherwise and does run at 20 percent <<<less.../salute
Some BL that triggered it in 50's was going to try to solo him ,and I don't think they had a chance.Bl ran off almost dead whimpering to zl.So I decided to give it a go.Kited a little then Tap tanked it while pet was beating the snot out of him.I didn't even get a thanks for killing it and the BL getting his final epic mob. Rude *******!!!!If I knew that I woulda feigned and well you know the rest!
Just soloed this guy tonight. The first mistake everyone makes is pulling his pet first. WRONG. Pull Draz first. Just send in pet, hit pet hold when he engages, and Draz comes all by his lonesome. Draz is very slowable and hits like a weenie. Hits were no higher than the 120's I believe. Once Draz is down to about 35%, I then pulled his pet with slow. Proceed to beat the snot out of Draz, he will not run with his warder by his side. His warder hits a bit harder but is also very slowable. Once Draz is down, finish off his warder. His warder runs at 20% but not very quickly. Loot his head and congrats on your epic. Draz is quite resistant to our cold DD's so just use poison and disease dot's. You really won't need much mana to heal yourself. Good luck.
Was me (51 BST), 65 Paladin, 65 Shaman, 56 Bard, and 65 Cleric. Killed him np, but something strange happened that I hadn't heard about. At 20% he took off running full speed. Couldn't snare, root finally stuck, but not before we had 15+ mushrooms on us. Still got it, but the afterfight was worse that him :P
Had 70 shammy (me), 70 necro, 70 ranger, 68 boxed shammy, and the 52 BL. Waaaaayyy over kill, but hey if ppl want to help, why not? BL spawned Draz, we pulled his pet, killed it and then pulled Draz. Malosed and Putrid Decayed him. Shammy slow landed fully. Never resisted any of my spells. He summoned me and hit me once for 161 and then again for 81, he kept summoning me and the necro, but never really hit us after that. We all nuked/DoTed since no melee dmg lands on him (cept bane dmg from the BL). At 13%, the necro lifeburned as I was casting a nuke and the guy never had a chance to flee. Was a fun and easy fight. The BL finally joined us as the mob died. hee hee
Tried to spawn Draz last nite and noth'n, had 2 groups set up also, would of been a cake walk too. Kind of make me mad after wait'n 6 days for scout to spawn, then a few hours to set up two good group to finish my epic and Draz didn't show.
Last night I, a 65 Beastlord, duoed this guy with a 65 Cleric. Worst part was when he ran but it wasnt too bad when the cleric stunned him. He was very easy.

Has anyone ever triggered the event in fungus grove only to have the warder spawn and not Draz? This happened to me and ive been waiting on gm responce for over a week. Some of you may then ask, but you get the seal back to put in the box, so why not just trigger the event again? Well i can not because the scout will no longer accept the seal and i am NOT doing all the scouts over again because of some mistake on the games part. My entire epic quest was two months of nightly work to make everything happen, and to have it blown for me at the last moment cause some lazy sony programer put a 0 where a 1 should be is just unacceptable, and i cant see how a quest with so many problems, and well documented ones at that, Now let me be clear cause this is a rant due to my frustration but it is not a whine, i dont want a hand out, i dont want sony to give me the head for ********* but i want what i earned, i want the seal that will spawn draz and if it must be i want a gm present to spawn him personally if he doesnt from the turn in so i can ***** slap him into next tuesday, rip his head from his rotting corpse, shove it into an acrylia gilded box with my khati sha seal of damn war, my two claws still dripping with his warm blood, seal it up, shove it down Elder Dumels furry maw and get my F&*KING ELECTRIC CLAWS......Ok im done now. So anyway has this happened to anyone else or not?
just had this happen to me on XEV i filed a petition to see about getting him to respawn for me no word back as of yet check and make sure his warder is not up prior to the turn in.
got word back today to file a /bug so i did that they said that there was no way to force him to pop for me and the scout will not take my medal anymore headed to shar val to see if i can give the claws back to dumal to get another one and he did give me a new medal so destroy the one you have and turn the claws in again. i was then able to do the turn in to teh scout and kill kill kill and do the final turn in to dumal for the epic
I had the same issue today (4/29/04). Checked to make sure niether Draz nor his warder were up before seal turn in because it is a known bug that if either are, the other won't show. Neither were up, but scout was. I then turned in the seal to the scout, recieved the proper text, and got the seal back just as it is supposed to happen. The warder popped, but Draz did not. Using /petition I was able to talk to a guide. After surveying the situation, she upgraded my petition to GM status and recommened I submit a bug report, which I did. Now I am just waiting for a Gm response to this issue. Good Luck to anyone else doing this part and may the bug be fixed soon.
This guy was a bit easy I think. I was embarassed actually to request the ammount of help I did for this kill. I had 10 people help of various classes. They were all camping at the spawn point for after I hand in the seal. After I handed in the seal, I invised myself and ran to the spawn point and the group already had Draz down to 40%. I did get a couple swipes in with the claws but it was too fast to remember what kind of strategy could possibly have been used. The easiest encounter I'd say based on the 20 seconds of the fight I saw. The hardest kill for the epic in my opinion was by far the 6 images in Timorous because they summoned me in the middle of their camp and almost wiped our group.
Killed Draz the other day for my Last Epic drop, all in all it went very well but a word of advice to any Beasts who will be staring this guy in the face anytime soon, dont let him get very far when he starts to run because all the adds you can aquire by chasing him will prove to be more deadly than he was lol. He droped the Tunic, Greaves, His heart, and the Elf bone snout ring and of coures the drops for the epic claws. The group I had was me ( 54 Beastlord ) , 57 Mage, 65 Mage, 65 Cleric, 65 Cleric, 57 Warrior. I suddest getting as many casters as you can come up with because he is not affected by any melee weapons other than the temp claws you get and procs on pets and weaps and your casters so when he gets to about 25% Hp have your casters to start nuking like there is no tomorrow to keep him from running far, because when he runs he can really move ( Remember he is a Beast also so he has SoW just like you lol ). Oh and 1 more thing facing the tents position your party to the right and back far enough that you will not draw any agro when he is spawned and his pet will spawn at the right tent and Draz on the left and setup like this you can single pull the pet and kill them one at a time it makes things alot simpler that way and by no means do not under estimate his warder he is a tough little bugger. Good luck and if you are on the Morel Thulle server send me a tell Ill be glad to help with this epic in any way I can
