Advice: Godking strategies

Phank · 03-18-2006, 09:30 PM

This post will probably get flamed, but here goes anyway. My guild finally got the 9 eyes to zone into Inner Temple for Godking raid. I would hate to go in without gathering some kind of information about the encounter.

Is there anyone willing to share a working strategy? Thanks.

I will give you some hints without handing you everything you need to know that you can figure out while you are there.

1. Stepping in the water spawns an add or two for each person that steps in. This is particularly important when it comes time to get your update afterwords. Don't disgard what I'm saying here, this is the most important thing to figure out. You only have 30 minutes to get your update afterwords, and a number of raid forces that didn't know what to expect failed to get everyone the update (after the 30 min timer was put in). Come up with a plan to get to the climby wall without spawning 50 adds in your wake, because it will leave dead people behind afterwords with no quest update if you do.

2. Get everyone to bring repair kits or have backup gear, just in case.

3. If you kill it and it respawns, kill it again until something changes (dumb,, but lotso loot)

4. You can't have anyone in the zone that has extra eyes except the person thats going to place them. If anyone has extra eyes on them or in the bank they need to camp out while the eyes are placed (really dumb).

5. A coercer will make things easy, if you don't have one but you have 62+ tanks you can offtank Godking instead.

Aye Enchanter makes this zone much easier, especially on the big gnoll guy.

An urban myth as far as I am concerned, we had people with extra eyes on them and they were not taken away on placement. We also got the order wrong on placing the eyes initially, and all that happened was we got popped on we didn't lose them as someone told me they would.

A lot of people say a coercer's Amnesia ability is a big help on the Godking encounter. It's actually completely unnecessary if you know how the encounter works.

One person in the raid will be given a death mark, I think when you zone in. Once you figure out who has it, have them stand at the entrance of the zone when you fight Godking. Your raid should move to the left and fight Power of Anuk where it stands. The Godking and Armor will charge the person with the death mark then tether and reset (either that or they kill the person at entrance, I can't remember, but they can just revive right there). This lets you kill Power all by himself. Move to the other side and do the same for Armor. Godking will run to the entrance then back to his pedestal, then you can pull him alone once Armor is dead. He himself is pretty easy, just have your tank's back against a wall and it should go smoothly.

Not an urban myth at all. It won't allow you to place the eyes if people that have them are in the zone, at least it did not for us. We spent a good 20-30 minutes figuring this "bug" out, that's why I gave him the hint. I put "bug" in quotes, because I don't know if this was intentional or not, but either way it's just plain stupid.

This may in fact been a change that occured after people that had eyes lost them, I really dont know. All I know is that I had no option to "place" the eyes, until everyone that had them camped out.

It's random, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. We've gone in and had no issues, gone in and had issues, and always had more eyes than we needed. Having people drop raid, or trading the eyes to somebody else, has always fixed it.

Tried all that, didn't work for us. That's what we spent 15-20 minutes doing. The only thing that worked for us was to have everyone that had eyes anywhere camp out. Anyhow, at least he has some ideas on what to do when he gets in there and can't place the eyes, if that happens.

Ok let me backup what I was saying. The first time we went in one of our officers had a couple of extra eyes on him. We placed eyes, nothing happened to his. At all. This is why I was skeptical of the rumour SMILEY

Sure thing. Like you, I had assumed that what happened to us happens to every raid force. According to some of the other posts here it seems to be a random thing, if you are even effected by this issue at all.

I'm starting to think that it has something to do with people that have completed the access quest. *speculation* If they haven't completed the quest then they can have eyes, but if they have then they can't. No idea if there is any truth to that, but maybe I'll test it out Friday when we do this again. It surely would explain the variation in whether or not people have an issue with this, and how they resolve it.
