Glykus Helmir  

If you kill all the little pigs (big ones too for good measure) he cannot summon them and buff them until they respawn, hopefully he will be dead before then.

slew him today on my level 78 druid with no merc as God intended, soloed him down 3 dots and my DS plus 1.5 cliky, he was cake, he summoned a little boar that grew in size every 30 secs to a bigger boar, he dropped wand, he had wand gra[hic in cave

He was up by the lower zone-out when I aggro'd him. He sees invis. Tried to just zone out on him but when I clicked the pillar it said "The doors are held firmly shut by magical forces." I'm guessing aggroing him makes you unable to zone out.

Are you sure it is a 24 hour re-spawn? Killed him yesterday at 4:20-4:25, zoned in today at 4:15 and have been waiting almost an hour, and not up. May have changed his re-spawn timer or something? Anyhow, as of right now on Zek, the 24 hour re-spawn is not correct. Will wait a little longer and see. May edit this later with his new? spawn time.

*edit- Waited another 30 minutes, and pop... So re-spawn is like 25 hours give or take 15 minutes. *Note* Has dropped Blood Runed Battle Wand both times so far... thinking the SBoD is rare. (Not just from 2 kills, but reading posts below.) Really, really wanting that sword for my warrior, lol. Anywho hope this info helps a little.

Go downstairs (jump in the pet, head to the south exit) and look at your map and head south.

Go all the way to the end of the zone where it curves sothwest. You are in an area with several pig pens, it's pretty obvious.

Glykus Helmir is at the vey end. I didn't have any adds when I fought him but he does run on low HP and you get an add as he wanders off.

Also, at the end of the zone here is a clicky object to exit the zone. It's like a short pillar or something, it has that "what does this do?" look about it.

The main zone exit by the way, is where you zone in but at the end of the hallway.

edit:
His spawn time is slightly less than 24 hours or perhaps a little random, he's usually there if I come back exactly 24 hoursa later

Camping him
If I log in right at his spawn spot, or up gainst the wall, it can be deadly. Normally you can invis to him, kill him and perhaps get a roamer to add. If I just pop in on him by logging in, I swear all the mobs in sight come running and now you have perhaps 3 mobs and Glykus to fight. Normally this is OK, but the pigs in the pen are activated by fights and can turn into enchanted war boars if the fight goes on long enough and are a serious problem beause they add to the others. So "use the exit" you say. It can be impossible while you're being summoned so don't be surprised if you can't exit.

I would suggest if you're camping him, find a quiet spot to log in to. Right outside the pen area is a corner with no mob in it. I would suggest there.

Glykus is on a 24 hour spawn timer.

i see all of these post saying i soloed, cool congratz. were does he spawn?

Okay, Headboss duo'd him at level 70 with a cleric, maybe I should have a go at it at level 75 I thought. He appeared to be holding the Blood Runed Battle Wand. Full self buffs on a ranger with 1106 aa's, 14166 hp, 2786 ac, average level of gear COA. I cleared the room, and pulled with a debuff, engaged and the first few seconds seemed okay. Then there was one spawned add, and I was at 50%. I hit a hot pot, and hp's were still going south. I never got a chance to hit any discs as the fight started off with me casting and lining up the add for hail of arrows, etc, and then it was suddenly too late to worry about the fancy stuff, when what I really needed to do was gate out. Fortunately I had my Worker Sledgemallet on a bandoleer switch and I gated out with about 5% health left, and he was about 85%. I did get a skill up in 2 Hand Blunt using the mallet, so there was some good from this failed fight. (SOE raised the skill limits a few weeks ago, and I haven't maxed all my skills yet).

I checked the fight details, and he cast gravel rain which I resisted, he flurried a lot, max hit was 638. My endurance faded was a message I saw in the spell box, so maybe that was my Form of Endurance getting debuffed somehow. I was also missing a bunch of buffs shortly after getting to the Overthere. He summoned and saw invis also.

Maybe with better gear some more aa's and a better plan going in I will be able to do it next time.

Soloed him tonight. 11928 hp 2210 ac unbuffed monk, popped 2 hot pots, mend, innerflame (destructive force was down from previous named fight) and he died. flurries like a ***** and hits fast. monk slow disc ftw ;)
Also, didn't spawn any adds what so ever.

Dropped wand and spectral =(

was able to single pull this guy to the Enterance by bringing everything between him and the zone out, all mobs wondered back but he stays for a bit

I've repeatedly duo'd him on Zek with 65shm(me) and a 70mnk I don't even run oom so i know it can be easily done

anyone seen him drop split blade lately? over 15 kills and not a single split blade and its been 15 strate.

ok fyi soe got a wild hair up there back side and changed this guy had been farming him for a month and with patch they made it to where it is now 100% a raid encounter wiped with 1 grp way to easy charming mobs against it was a waaste he has ne dmg mid against charmed mobs
