Jaeil the Wretched  

Some notes on Jaeil:

For TLP's (and specifically for Kunark/Velious in era Hole V1.0 zone)

Jaeil spawns in the DZ version of the hole. His spot is actually considerably closer to the DZ entry point than to the normal zone in. You will need to kill various tunnel roamers/patrols but there are very few spots that require handling more than 3 mobs.

Jaeil himself will be just after a three golem area when coming from the DZ entry. You will want to additionally kill a roamer that will be coming down the tunnel from the opposite direction (so that he doesn't add).

On turn in, Jaeil the Insane spawns. He has 20k HP and a min hit of 38 and a max hit of 162 (DB/DI 38:6). His DPS is about 27.

To solo him, engage (away from the water!). Snare. Melee him down w/ CoF casts in between swing blocks. You'll probably need to back away and heal about halfway through. He does summon, so back off wait for the summon and then cast your heals. Alternatively use a healing pot.

It was harder to get to him than to solo him.

soloed this guy with a 75 ranger self buffed only took all of 1 min to kill him nothing he did could land on me =)

As of the date of this post, Jaeil the Wretched sits overlooking a pool of water, burried deep beneath the city, as located on the mapfiend maps I downloaded....good luck..

To answer a few recent questions:

Mobs at old city are undead, not all of them, just the ghosts, so invis will be seen by them and IVU by the other mobs. Just have to fight.

Mobs are green to a 61 all the way to the first construct guys (metal golems, basically). Constructs were LB to DB until old city, then dark blue from there. Gargoyles in tunnel down to Jaeil are 57-58 as they were yellow to me on trip at 55 and are blue to me at 61.

Jaeil is on a 6 hours spawn. Used to be he would stay when you spawned the Insane version, but because this allowed a whole bunch of rangers to all get their hammer in one trip, SoE changed it. Now he despawns when you hand him your bowl to spawn the insane and then spawns six hours after the Insane version dies. So now only one Ranger every 6 hours can get their hammer.

When first entering the zone when you come to the huge pit and the bridge across to the tower, stay left and go down into the pit that way. You'll be at the bottom of the tower and can go in that first room and to the left and just quick but careful pulling, killing and movement from there.

Be sure wanderers are dead before handing bowl to Jaeil. Nothing like two level 58 magic resistant Gargoyles in the middle of a fight with a level 50 enchanter.

hey there juss did him tonight with a group -66 warrior , 65 cleric , 65 chanter , 63 ranger , 53 ranger and myself-, along with my high scale kirn piece. well instead of entering tower to the south ( shamn'n paladin ench ) epic mobs are theres a broken gate to the right. go thru. from here itll be pretty easy and or difficult all depends. you will notice mobs go from blue cons to a lvl 55 to yellow and red cons. garg's and golems mainly hitting me for a max of 258. both have really high MR couldnt ever land malosi or tash on them. so al out melee fight here. only bout 3 fights and some possible roamers total to him and clearing his room. once pulled i landed malosi and slow instantly no problems andmy group took him down with ease. hope this helps :P

I had a small group go down with me in The Hole. Jaeil the Wretched was not up. This happened last time when I went with a small raid group. We got some SK pieces from there epics. A few hours later we started to head back up and he popped. Now does he have a respawn time after he dies?

Did anyone have issues with JtW aggro (post revamp)?

I read about a lot of groups having issues with adds, and I'm wondering if a group(s) can set up camp next to JtW and clear some space before spawning JtI?

Has anyone tried this, or has anyone seen JtW attack?

Kintish

got a whole buncha people down here.... we fought out way to his spot and he isnt here... musta despawned

With the revamp of the hole this guy now agros with his angrier self. Anyone know his respawn time if he is killed?

Well, after some trial and error, I can outline a relatively easy way to get a force into close proximity to the epic mobs that spawn deep within the Hole without having to clear through the city (which is a complete pain in the ****** This method does work while Yael is up.

First, you need to powerlevel a brell cleric to level 14. The cleric needs the three spells divine aura, invis to undead, and reanimation, if you want to go totally barebones.

Get the cleric to paineel, bind him right at the pit that drops you into the hole. Have the cleric divine aura and dive in, he'll land in the middle of a bunch of elementals, golems, flighty fiends, and master yael (if he's up). All these mobs should ignore you since you're a brell worshiper. Run up the passage that leads to the castle full of undead and epic mobs. ITU so none of the undead will aggro, run past the entrance to the castle, around the corner, and you'll be on a ledge overlooking master yael's spawn. Park the cleric here, we'll come to him later.

Next, you'll need to have a 55+ mage in your raid party. have everyone in the raid party zone into the hole, no need to fight the entrance mobs, just sit around. Have someone duel the mage to kill him without exp loss. Now, take a level 1 brell worshiping halfling rogue, use sneak/hide and drag the mage's corpse all the way down through the city and to the spot where the level 14 cleric is parked. Have the cleric reanimate the mage, get the mage grouped with the halfling rogue, have the rogue sneak back to the entrance, or even easier make sure he's bound right outside the Hole entrance in Paineel and just have him run up to a mob and ask it for a free port to bind, any way you do it, have him in the entrance to the zone so he can invite people for Call of the Hero. CotH your entire raid party into position, assemble your groups, and presto! You're right near all the epic mobs, you're really close to master yael, and you didn't have to kill a thing. In the event that you don't have a mage that can cast Call of the Hero, it is possible to simply corpse your entire raid party and drag all their corpses through the zone. In this situation, I strongly reccomend that each person at the raid bring their own level 1 halfling rogue, because I had to drag five corpses through the Hole last night and it was not only extremely difficult (ended up making a ton of macro keys to target and summon corpses) but it also took about an hour and twenty minutes.

Hope this helps, and good luck.
(note: copies of this post will be placed in the discussion of the important epic mobs in the bestiary section, as well as under the main Hole strategy discussion. I'm not trying to spam, just trying to make it so anyone looking for info on their epic mob can find this strategy quickly and easily)

Is it still possible to loot a ball of clay in CT? I know the clay golem used to drop it but when I look up the zone, I don't see clay golems listed. Mayhap another mob drops it now? Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated...trying to save myself some time when I do the hole portion of my epic. <grin>
