The Sleep Walker

Moloed (soloed with merc) with a hasted Razorfiend Subduer last night as a 70 chanter with level 70 T2 healer merc. Paci'd his three friends and pulled with slow, then rooted when he reached me. Sic Razorfiend, back up, Synapsis Spasm, Colored Chaos nukes, maintain Spasm and root, took mebbe ten minutes. Dropped Quill and Signet.

This area is beautiful xp for a 70 chanter with 300ish AAs, I get 11%-12% aaxp or just under 1% normal xp per kill. I'm wearing a mix of Elaborate Defiant, SoF gear and DoDh gear (Dripping Grimcoat ring for example) as well as a wrist from Colossus of Skylance, and few augs. Eldritch Rune and Ward of Bedazzlement (the level 70 version) make charming here a snap!

Dropped him with 80 mage using air pet. Easy stuff. Healed pet once while I still had all 4 mobs up, spammed gargs and bolted him down.

Duo'ed him today me playin my 2 chars.

75 Bard full anguish level gear
71 Mage Qvic/DoDh mission gear

Just took him down on Sol Ro,

66 Shammy <--- Me
66 SK Kraemdero
66 SK Gumbos <----MT
64 BST Micho <--- Ended up being RT LOL
58? Ranger <---went LD

SK pulled with Darkness, I malosed on the way in, slow took right away then I just sat back and dropped Quies/Blast heals with Kraggs sometimes just because. Fight took about 15 minutes, long enough for me to use Canni 5 3 times. MT got below 60 1 time. HP's are MASSIVE but all in all easy kill.

Dropped Signet of the Valorous

heheh this mofo likes to ramp a lot ... just be ready for that ... and sorry druids but he summons. fun fight tho, just pull him single, however you can, be ready for the rampage and he shouldn't be too tuff for a decently equipped group (single group 60+) to handle him. the ugly pile or rocks dropped the ring and the waist on Vazaelle tonigt. cheers!

Dropped him three times in one day recently. All three times he was a yellow con to level 65. On the pulls, we cleared the north side spawns and the roamers. Then used Harmony on the two Ancient Guardians and the razorfiend behind him.

He is part of a 4 pop that are real tight. The Razorfiend is not always visible and he wanders arround behind the Sleepwalker. Make sure you take care of him.

I snare pulled and either used /ws to tank until slow or slow was landed before he made it back to camp. He needs two or three snares to follow. He is probably leashed to the room as he does not like to move.

As soon as slow is in, MT needs to get agro asap. Then just beat him down.

We dropped him twice tonight in the span of 1 hour, Very Lucky for him to pop back to back I think. First time dropped him with 65Sk, Cleric, Shaman, Chanter, Ranger, 62 Cleric, Monk and a DC mob--- He dropped Cord, Quill, and Spectral Parch. Second time we killed him with IC and OC together, but he only dropped the ring, Nice))

Killed the yellow version tonight with 2 shammies, SK,Pal, Enc, Brd, Bst, Clr, Rog and a Dru. Was a overkill slow landed first attempt and it was cake from there. He dropped the Quill, the Ring and a Spec.

We moved into IC camp in PoV as it was the only camp left, once we cleared the final tunnel leading to IC we noticed The Sleep Walker was up. Group started out as a mixed exp group, had 65 SHD, 65 ENC, 65 CLR, ?? RNG, ?? WAR and 2 65 CLR's outside of group for spot healing.

SHD was tank on each attempt, WAR was rampage tank on first attempt, ENC on second attempt. On the first attempt, WAR died from rampage, then we wiped due to non tank types being on rampage. The second attempt, we got add from mob being fought too close to repops, and wiped.

Finally on the third attempt, and reorganizing the group to - 65 SHD, 60 CLR, 65 ENC, 59 RNG, 56 NEC, 63 SHA - with 2 65 CLR's outside of group for spot healing. The ENC had paci'd all of the mobs around the back wall near The Sleep Walker, and the SHD pulled the named with festering darkness. As the mob was incoming, the very next person to hit the mob (to set the rampage tank) was the RNG, by striking with his bow. As the mob was incoming (you really have to pull him, as he stops before he gets close to the group)., the SHA slowed, SHD terrored. We tried to keep him against the wall so that nobody would aggro a repop while we fought.

We didnt need as many healers as we had, but it was useful since the SHD was tanking and was only 6644 hp, 1434 AC.

This guy hits pretty damn hard. The SHD purple clubbed once, and the RNG twice. Nobody else was ever hit by the named, and we fought him with group close. It took about 8 minutes to kill him.

Revenge is so sweet, 4 hours after arriving at the camp, and two wipes later, named dead, and he dropped 2 Band of the Visionary, and an Ethereal Parchment. The NEC and 60 CLR won the rings.

The best advice I can give is, have a good rampage tank, have at least 2 healers, one to keep rampage tank alive and one to keep main tank alive, and try and get some good DPS through a charmed pet or some 65 ROG/MAG/WIZ. You shouldnt fail.

this guy was a pushover, killed him he dropped signet and cord, rolled perfect 100 on ring and sold for 30k, farm cash from him lol

We took him out last night: 65 Chanter, 64 Beastlord, 63 Druid (me), 63 Cleric, 58 SK, and 55 Cleric. He conned red to the chanter, so must've been lvl 68. Chanter had a Razorfiend Suppressor pet with some nice mage summoned items, fully buffed (probably more so than us). Cleared out inner and harmonized the surrounding mobs. Bst pulled him and pet went in. Clerics took turns healing the pet and I healed anyone else that needed it. Pet lost aggro a few times and we lost the 55 Cleric, the BST, and I died too. The other 3 stayed alive and finished him off. He dropped Quill, Signet of the Valorious, Spec parch, and Eth parch. Was a really fun fight. He popped again about 10min later and was yellow, but it didn't go so well the next time. Pet turned on us and I had to evac us out when chanter died.

Quite an easy fight for one group. You just need a decent cleric, a decent slower, and a decent tank. The DPS can be filled in with the remaining classes. Just harmony/pacify nearby mobs and snare pull him, this gives your slower multiple chances to insure the slow lands before he reaches the group. If your puller is a SK, then the slower doesnt have to worry about aggro at all even from resists. If the SW reaches your camp unslowed, someone is going to die quickly. He likes to quad for 925 and do the little glass proc for 375. He also has an
AE slow/dot wtih a 300DD. High Magic Resist helps a ton against his spell and the normal glass procs. GMR should always be on anyway due to the fact the guardians and beasts proc glass as well.

Basically once you get him to camp, turn him into the wall, unless you have an AM3 ranger (they hate that). Keep all the casters well out of melee range, this includes you clerics who like to melee! The rampage can do over 3k in dmg in seconds, and its not good to cause your healer the extra stress. The tactics needed are simply to hold aggro, keep the casters out of rampage range, and budget mana. The fight is a fairly long one for one group, but as long as you dont run out of mana, pull aggro, or let the MA die, its a very easy battle with nice rewards.

Incidentally, he is not on a specific timer, a close friend of mine had him pop back to back, about 10 mins apart. So, apparently he has a chance to appear on a fairly diverse timetable. I've camped Inner for 27 hours straight (for AA) and never saw him once. So, he's not really campable, just more like a nice bonus to whichever group is xping at the time. As for loot, ladder rolls are my preference. Everyone has a shot to win, and if im with friends I actually am happy if they win instead. Hope this helped.

The Sleep Walker was level 67 for us today. He is a standard monster warrior class. He is easily single-groupable. You can pull him either with FD or by pacifying the surrounding three mobs. We had one fun incident where my pacify failed and I pulled all the mobs. I was planning on sacrificing, but the cleric had other ideas and ended up pulling everything onto the group for an instant wipe. For most of the fight I had a dire charmed pet, but he ended up on rampage partway through and splatted, so I charmed an add we had gotten (kept him slowed though, to reduce the risk). Here's the data:

Max hit is 963 (doubles). He rampages often, and this is generally the most difficult aspect of it. I am usually on rampage for at least part of the time, so I have to keep a lot of mana around for recasting Arcane Rune. He parses out to around 150,000 HPs (or less). He is slowable, does enrage, does summon. He does not have an AE as reported previously, except for his constant rampage. Clerics almost always run low on mana during these battles, so it's good to keep a backup healer in the group (shaman or otherwise).

I will include some DPS values here as purely reference material, even though they are very subjective. Against our fairly well-equipped 65 warrior tank, SW did 192.59 DPS. A rusted suit of mail (my DC pet) with Speed of Vallon and Focus of Soul did 78.82 DPS against SW. A razorfiend subduer (CoD-charmed) who was 75% slowed for the battle did 65.33 DPS. A shaman pet with SoV did 18.27 DPS. SW did a total of 120,000 points of damage to our group.

Killed today, 63 wizard (me), 65 war, 64 chanter, 65 ranger, 65 mage, 62 cleric.

Snared him no problem. Slow landed, got one resist through the entire fight. Used fire AND cold based nukes. Draught of Ro landed well. Ice Spear landed well. Mob has an enormous melee range. Mobs surrounding TSW can be harmonied for a simple single pull.

No way he has a 3 days repop , my group camping Inner cave killed him 2 times in a row in less than 1 hour , 2 quill nothing else , crap :( . He is a PH boss type like Myconid king IMHO , not a timable repop like a Kunark dragon .

well Found him 3 times one time he was 66 np we got him with one group and he dropped

Cord of Nobility
Signet of the Valorious
Etheral Parchment

after we found him again he was 67 dropped

Cartographer's Quill
Cord of Nobility
Spectral Parchment
Etheral Parchment

then we found him again and he was 65 dropped

Cartographer's Quill only

He always pop inside cave infront Razordiend Subjugator spawn and a in middle of Ancient Guardians

Actually its my pic and since its kinda dark (dang EQ hehe) here goes:

The Sleep Walker spawns in the Razor cave in PoV (far back where the lumbering beasts and ancients are). He hits for 960something/rampages/slowable etc. Poor Veteran on pic is a dorf hence the stone thing looks enormous (yay fevets yer a celeb now ) :D

Spawns in the back of the cave where it looks like a named/PH should spawn.

What IS this guy? i cant tell for the life of me from the pic, cept that hes HUGE compared to the poor veteran hes standing on.

Does this guy exist?

I have been fighting in the wastle land for ages and still no sign of him at all
