The Great Saprophyte  

Went to EC last night to get the Remove Curse spell. TGS was up but dropped only the gloves and spore. Went back this afternoon. Up again. Dropped gloves, spore and spell. So 1 for 2 for me. Hope this helps.

Spotted him on my lowbie mage, called guild to help. cleric came, powned and left. dropped spell and eye.

k this guy really bugs. My 46 pal went in, took out the boglings, and after medding attacked. Didn't bother to cast haste as my temp was fading (ended halfway thru fight), and with 81/84 pr/mr he still landed 20+ procs of 130ish thru the fight. After using LoH and a failed attempt to use a DS pot midway, I died, oom, with him at 20%.

Then he got me a second time after I tried chain-stunning him per the posts here. Had all self-buffs up this time, plus the DS, and the chaining worked except that my timing got off and I didn't heal myself in time. Died -again- with Saph around 20%. With right timing, and the DS up (or LoH prob woulda worked too), he coulda fallen.
Think I'll wait for LOH to repop and save the potion cost.

GL on this guy... for melee once you attack, you're committed

Edit: 3rd time's a charm. looted eye and spores

The actual Respawn time is 2 Hours and 45 minutes. Confirmed today 6/11/2005 at 10:25PM EST on the Firiona Vie Server.

I killed it twice to get the Remove Curse spell. First time it dropped the spores and gloves.

Second time it dropped the eye, the spores, and the spell.

Hope this helps someone :)

Any chance a 34 necro with 1300hp can take the shroom?????????

OK good thing i read up on this guy, Im gonna heed your warning and make and buff my pet b4 i kill him. Im a 53 shaman with kei and V. My pet will only have standard 53 shammy buffs. The cultist near him cons green, and he (IT?) cons LB. I dont think i will have much of a problem with it, but we shall see. Just stoppin thru on my way to do turn in for earring of solstice and thought id kill it.. needlite queen wasnt up. but mebbe on the way back
Whatever the outcome, i will post again when one of us is dead. Somehow i believe that making a pet is overkill.

Has about 3500 hp, most of it's spells won't land if you have ok resists. Seems to have no magic resists, but I can't be sure of this.

EDIT:K, he doesn't always drop anything. I

i was first time in little echo so i saw this huge thing and thougt well well u gotta die now.
took him with a 56 monk in 10 seconds out the 2 adds nearly just dieds by riposte when i looted.
had the spell and the gloves gave it to a friend.

does anyone know the spawntime?

worked the toadstool twice , no remove curse.Everyone is correct , repop every 3 hours or so. I'm a 51 pally , brought a 51 cleric , took next to no damage , even with the greenies mobbing us. Lots of toons in and out of room so if ya want to camp here and not be on f or a loong time you have to time the repop 's pretty well(meaning logging offf then back on).Good luck be safe .

Killed him with a 31 war and a 31 cleric... decked out pretty good but still pretty easy dropped spell and earring first time :)

whats the usual spawn time for this guy??

Well I finally got the remove curse spell after watching others try it and not get it. I tried a while ago with help from a level 52 Druid but only got the gloves - tried solo after I reached one yellow bubble into the level and got the gloves again. I had cleaned out the outer room then pulled out the cultists to save mana but for the last one I used cancel magic to stop the burn spells. I stood in the entrance when the Great Saprophyte spawned - used cancel magic on it the charged to get to the back wall - he knocked me back a couple of times and summoned, but no big deal I just stepped back or up and had him in about a minute. 2 hours and 52 minutes later I was ready for the next pop but moved to the back wall after a bog agroed me from behind and paid the price for that sneak attack. This time I decided to cast reckless strength on myself then cancel magic on the shroom -- of course he was whacking me by the time my Cancel Magic was in progress but I finished it then proceeded to take him down stunning with stun and holy might. I had Ethereal Cleasing memed but I think I only used it in the first kill. I also used the Flame of Light once or twice. Just before the shroom arrived I used a null potion to boost my dex to 142. I had Valor of Marr for haste plus the FBSS and was using a great 2H piercer the Two Tined Corpse Pitchfork - it did the job. My AC was 824 and HP buffed about 2300 and I ended with 33% mana and 88% HP left. Not very difficult but boy waiting for it to pop is a chore - but timed it for the second pop and arrived about 1/2 hour early to clean out the cultists in the room which are still light blue to me. When done I had the spell and gloves again. Medded a bit then took out a couple of bogs on the way out.

By the way hanging around echo so long also paid off as I got three Shissar Organs off the Taskmaster on the other side so I think I can get an EB item soon.

Good luck to the next one to try this.

I soloed this guy with my lvl 54 druid today. I buffed myself with all buffs i found useful, skins, DS, regen and all resist shields, then invissed me and waited at the south wall inside the main cave where he spawns.

When he popped, i started with a lvl 44 Nullify Magic, then tried a root which he resisted. He summoned me twice, casted Thunder Strike at me which i resisted, and a poison spell which took me down to 81 % in addition to some hits. Then i just continued to Scoriage him until he was down.

He had the spores, the spell Remove Curse, and a saphrophyte eye. First pop - lucky for once :)

Took him down a few minutes ago with a 55 shaman. He is easy. Just sic the pet on him and cast a couple of cold based DD. Didn't drop the spell though. It is more useful now because of the traps in the new LDoN dungeons. Oh well. Guess I have to wait another 3 hours.
