Blackscale Sepulcher

[hanfr]

When visiting all the instances in KoS we finally went to the Blackscale Sepulcher. After cleaning the zone we met  a Ghost Dragon guy. He told us to release him so he can talk to us. Destroy some sign or something like that and kill some dudes in the zone.

 

Well we didn't find this sign anywhere and killed the mobs a few times but nothing happens.

 

Since there's only one named mob in that zone and this non-activatble dragon, does anyone what to do to go further in this zone?

There are 2 nameds in this instance. Read what he says, you must release his soul there are 4 who control it. I don't really want to spoil it, but at the end, the mobs keep respawning in that room, Firebrands, Razorwings, Plague Bearers, and Steward of the Souls. Oh and there are 4 spawns. I think you can maybe figure it out from here.

Yeah we got to that part and over 2 hours later, we still hadn't gotten it to work.   I know in beta there was mention that the ring event was busted, so I am not so sure that it still isn't buggy.   Not to mention that we cleared everything out of the zone other then the dragon and the 4 that kept respawning and never got it to work.   Kind of annoying. We all finally gave up long after midnight and when a friend said he spent 6 hours doing it to get it to work.

After clearing the zone the dragon still does not spawn, don't no if its a bug or you need some sort of quest to get him to spawn.

Its not just a matter of clearing it out, you have to get the ring event to work, which it doesn't appear to be working.    2 hours of trying different strategies when it didnt work the first time (including trying to get 4 of a kind of any given mob in the ring even,  killing all 4 of them at once,  nada, we couldnt get it to work).

It works, did it last night and the night before without any issues. Nearly kill steward, mez, pull next mob, if not steward kill, else mez when nearly dead, do it again with the 3rd, nearly kill the 4th, then kill the other 3 all at the same time, and you will get the ring event complete. It's a lot of fun.

[Slu]

Have gotten the ring event to work the last few nights. I'd like to mention though that mez isn't needed to make it work - though it is certainly a viable strat there.

 After the 1st named.  Kill the 4 Placeholders around the central spike in the room.  What you are looking for are 4 Stewards of the Seal at the same time.  You have to burn these down either very fast, or at the same time in order for the Ring Event to pop.  If you kill them fast enough you get the other named. 

 

 Could a SOE representative tell us if that is all there is to the Zone?  As was previously stated, after clearing the whole zone (ring event and named) the NPC Dragon is still not aggro.  Is he supposed to go aggro (is this a bug?) or is he supposed to stay that way?  I've read his dialogue and it hints that he would "live again" if we defeated the Stewards/named, which was done and nothing happened.

 Any information would be helpful, thanks.

There is another way to get the 4 stewards at once other than burning really fast and praying for them to repop.. you just gotta try different strategies. It's not bugged. Now, whether or not the dragon is supposed to spawn - I think he's just a quest mob.

Yep, from reading what he says it sounds like deathtoll access related.

[SatinyCh]

We took an illusionist in just the other night. Did the seal event exactly as intended (kill seal 1 to 10%, mez, kill seal 2 to 10%, mez, etc, when all 4 seals are mezzed at 10% hp, aoe them down on the stalactite, so they die at the same time), in fact, we did it 4 times, the exact same way, and no dice. We gave up after an hour and a half, having successfully spawned the named in the previous night's excursion.

 

So I think there is definately some sort of bug associated with this. One night its fine, the next, nada. My guildies were having the same problem.

We did this last night and it worked fine, but still no joy with the dragon, it kinda looked like it was a faction problem or somthing /shrug  I will pay more attention next time.

The dragon isn't a killable mob. It's a quest mob that tells a story. It seems very likely that it's for deathtoll access.

Spent some time on this today, got all 4 Stewards down to 2% and mezzed all 4. With all 4 mezzed at 2% we killed them within 5-10 seconds 3 times in a row and no named spawned.

 

Can someone confirm the time window in which all Stewards must die? I cant believe its less than 5 seconds or so since it would make it really hard if not impposible for a team without an enchanter.

 

Thanks.

You get a good 15 seconds to kill them all.

Thanks for the reply Pinski :smileyhappy: We must have been somehow bugged then cause all 3 attempts wehere definatley under 15 seconds.  Have you ever been there and just weren't able to do it at all no matter what? We were doing it so fast the last 2 times we started to think you may have to do it within 2 seconds or less.

ok im not understanding this zone at all are we just having bad luck.....we clear the whole zone kill the 1st namer drops a duel wield sword we clear by the dragon hail him tells us he cant talk till we breack the four seals ok so we move to the room with the 4 mobs that repop we kill the phs when one pops as a steward we mez it and move to the next we get all 4 up at the same time and kill all 4 in less than 5 seconds but no nammer pops treid it many many times with no luck while a friend says he gets namer first time everytime..are we missing something do we have to kill the 4 mobs in an order? does it matter where the mobs die? or is it jsut more random luck time sink bs from soe....i read the post here and it sounds easy enough but when we tried it it didnt happen...

[Vormulac]

k this is very simple guys, kill all 4 stewards at the same time, this can either be done with mez or with a good tank, (they only change if they are not agro'd) could even possibly use root. It is doable few of our tanks are wearing the bp's, got the 2 handers scouts using the pauldrons etc.  Most of our guild does this event everynight cause it drops nice stuff.

 

Go back and talk to the dragon maybe rather than trying to kil it once he is released, and hear what he is trying to tell you.

thats the thing we did exactly that i pulled all the stwerds and let them beat on me till we had 4 than killed em we mezed than we rooted with killed all 4 stewards over 20 times in under 10 seconds, i know it sounds very easy but it doesnt seem to be working we will try again tommorow mayb it will work

[Manusra]

We used the mez method 4 times in a row no luck. Did exactly the same as the methods mentioned above to no avail. Guess we'll try again soon.

Thanks.

[Keldo]

Something is up with this event, It has changed in the last few days.  We have completed it many times, but last 2 times we have done the exact same thing we always did, many times, and no named would spawn at the end.I am not sure if it is just random or if it can bug out.  There are no specific instructions on how to complete it (other than what is implied) so it is kind of hard to tell.  Anyone else notice this?

[Teche]

We have done this the past two nights with No issues .. 5 / 6 Mar On the GrobbFrost server...  so it must be random problems.

Day before yesterday we tried four times and couldn't pop the named. Yesterday it worked fine.

Perhaps they fixed it. Anyone else still having trouble?

 

[KBern]

Yeah worked for us last night.

We just killed and killed and at one point got 2 stewards up.

Our warlock kept them rooted until the 3rd and then the 4th popped...once the 4th popped we let them all charge us and beat them down almost at the same time...they died no more than 5-10 seconds apart and the named popped for us.

Beat him down and got some very nice scout shoulders x2 in the box.

[Keldo]

Okay I figued out this bug I think.First off, all the stuff about it being 15 seconds, 10 seconds, etc - all a bunch of crap.  All you have to do is get all 4 stewards up, then kill all 4 before the first one you killed respawns.  That is all.  It is a lot like the Rathe encounter in EQ1.The bug is with the quest 'To Speak the Unspoken' , the third quest from Arbitor Selek.  If one or more persons have this quest and the rest do not, the final named (Grash, Timant, Tival) absolutely will not spawn no matter what you do.  We tried putting all down to 2% and killing almost simultaniously, we tried doing the ring 5 times over, we tried not having a pet make kills, we try mentoring, we tried everything.  Then, the person with the quest disbanded from the group, we completed the ring and the named popped like normal.  The problem is the quest.This is a major issue because this (presumeably) is Deathtoll access and also somewhat obsure and could cause problems for non guild groups / people who are not all on the same step.

[Sou]

omg keldoth, you are a [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ing genius, it worked ROFL, dont think its luck?

[Keldo]

We tried it 15+ times over a course of 3 nights and it never worked for us.  Another group in the guild completed it without a problem doing nothing special, so we went back today.. and it still didn't pop for us.  We tried many things, again, and then finally decided to have the person with the quest disband and it popped the next time.I am fairly certain it is not luck and this quest is definitly the culprit.  It also explains why no one seems to have many issues in this thread, as being on the 3rd part of that kind of obscure quest would be fairly rare.

[Eet]

Arbitor Selek's other quest 'By Land? By Air? By Sea?' bugs it also.
