EverQuest 2 Brigand Guide
6.5. Icebound (Permafrost)
Encounter: King Drayek
Immune: Crushing, Cold
Specials: Summons guards at 75%, 50%, 25%
Scout Items: Ring of Removal
King Drayek is another pretty easy epic encounter. Before you fight him you have to fight two groups of golems that spawn and his two dogs, neither of which should be any trouble at all. As for the actual Drayek encounter he’s nothing special. There is a knockback you have to worry about but if the tank puts his back against the throne then it’s no problem. When the adds spawn just have everyone but the main group pull of Drayek and kill the adds, then go back to killing Drayek. In no time he should be down and if you’re lucky you’ll get the coveted Ring of Removal.
6.6. Deserted Mines (Zek)
Encounter: Trembler the Behemoth, 3x Symbiants
Immune: Slash (Behemoth), Pierce (Symbiants)
Specials: AoE to raid that damages armor, time limit for Symbiants
Scout Items: Runed Combine Bauble, Necklace of Mysterious Origins, Ancient Combine Stiletto, Arhcaic Combine Dagger
This is probably the hardest instanced zone because you not only have a 2 min. time limit on the first three symbiants, but the Behemoth himself has an AoE that actually damages your armor, creating a self-imposed time limit that you must meet before all your armor breaks. Once you enter the zone you have about 5 min until the first wave of Symbiants spawn. You absolutly need some AoE damage for this, Warlocks and Berserkers are awesome for this instance. Once the Symbiants spawn you have 2 min. to kill them, the summoner lady will give you a 30 sec. warning when she tells you to hurry up or she’s leaving. If you manage to get through all three waves successfully, then you can go fight the Behemoth. To get to him faster just run up the path past the giant crater in the ground until you see a little circular area, this is where he spawns. It usually takes him a few minutes to spawn as well. The thing to watch out for on the Behemoth is his AoE that will take off 16% of your armor everytime unless you happen
