75 SK, 14.5k hp, 3.2k ac (unbuffed). Wasn't too difficult... killed his gargoyles, feigned, medded, and then squished him. He has pretty weak hp, and his damage output is pretty low, though I couldn't get slow to land on him. Ended the fight at about 50 mana.
Also of note, at 30% he changes into a stone golem, and begins using Earthen Shrapnel (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.html?id=4188&source=Live) which is a smallish DD and knockback.

Holy Cow that must have taken all day for a small raid or a month for 2 groups to wait on Bard DA Refresh - recast timer. Oh ues I am aware it is a group cast ... I am also aware that just the initial loading of the song takes an UnGodly amount of time.
It is much easier to DA jump a Cleric off into the Hole and Suicide jump a CotH Mag in. Or just have everyone jump in and rezz buff at the bottom.

Another way to split the gargoyles from the construct is to have a monk pull the construct and start running out of the room and back into the Hole, FD, then get cothed back by a mage. The gargoyles can be split off and killed while the construct is chasing the monk. Depending on the level of the remaining characters, you can easily kill the gargoyles with an MT, cleric and some DPS (including a mage for the coth). Both gargoyles can be split with root if you need to fight them one at a time.

A note on jumping into the whole.... It's not easy but it is possible to hit the water and take no fall damage at all. The trick is to jump from the other side of the pit. Jumping up onto the rocks between the tunnels that lead to Tox and the newb area will give you a path around to the far side of the hole. As long as you have sow and are quick to start running in mid-air, as soon as you zone, you can make the last couple feet needed to hit the water. I suggest practicing once or twice with a sub-10 toon till you have it down. Then just amaze your clerics by saving them some mana.
If this ever worked, it no longer seems to do so. Regardless of where over the pit you end up zoning, and what direction you were facing, you always enter the Hole at the same location, facing east. It doesn't seem possible to reach the water by jumping in from the top.
Also, the 'sit' method does not seem to work either. Using /q just before impact did work.

Ok here is what we did. All the ones who could Cast Divine Barrier did and jumped off the ledge from Paineel. Next everyone else jumped in and after we rezzed, buffed and set the raid up we were set. I had our MT get in the corner so we didnt have to worry about his AE Gravity Flux. I had all the casters line up on the wall around the corner from where the MT set up at. I had a 65 pally and myself (65 SK) off tank the Gargs. I told everyone to kill the Guardian of the Seal 1st and heal the MT not me and the Pally. I had 5 clerics 1 druid 1 shammy 1 chanter and the rest was dps. all together we had 17 peeps. The Pally stunned the Garg ge was on and I life tapped and Leech cursed my Garg until we had the GotS dead. If was a very easy fight, only had 1 death and only took about 30 minutes from start to finish. The garg on the right dropped the Ore for the Str. of the elements Quest. The Garg on the left Drop a page (50 i think) for the Seal quest, and the big guy dropped a Ghostly Mantle of the Dead and a Simple Pure Gold Ring. Now we did NOT pull Echo and he did NOT assist any of the mobs. We killed him after the GotS/gargs were dead and he dropped the SK sword and a Red Dragon scale. All in all a pretty good raid. =) I hope this helps out, altho I dont know how long he takes to spawn. Will be checking on him and will let you guys know when I find out =)
**EDIT**
The Guardian of the Seal in on a 3 day spawn timer. My Guild has killed him twice now he dropped the shoulders both times and dropped the ring, the earring, and the book once each. Hope this info helps.

Today I fell in the hole and I was tryin to get to a corner to cast Gate (I had camo on) and I didn't no if he would attack ... of course stupid me I go to the pile of rocks and as i go to click the gate button a hidden garg attacked me and I was dead in seconds cause I ran twords him in reflex...hit me for like 975 hitpoints and I was already damaged badly from the fall.
Beep.
you fell in the hole, you can cast invis and gate. Got to be a druid usin camo and clicking the gate button(not a gate potion)
you have to be full of crap if you say you "fell in the hole" that is a 20k fall. Druids don't have that many hps and float is stripped when you enter the zone.
So how exactly can a non-DA class "drop" in the hole?

Well, I have a level 7 bard alt that I bound in paineel right next to the pit... my idea was that I would just use the bard to suicide dive into the hole to check if the guardian of the seal is up at any given time. Also, I saw someone post about not taking 20k fall damage if you hit the "sit" command in midair, right before you hit the ground.
Sure enough, the bard hasn't yet taken a 20k fall... fall damage has ranged between 350ish to 550ish, but no 20k falls (this is on a bard with maybe 10 stones of encumberance tops... maybe on a fully loaded char you'll still take 20k, no guarentees...). So I had a shammy friend toss me a HoS, and my level 7 bard survived the fall.
landed essentially on top of echo of nortlav, close to the guardian and his two guards (all con indiff.)
Which brings me to my questions, which are: since nothing seems to aggro, can you toss the whole raid group down the pit, have clerics rez the dead, buff up, and then kill him? Is this a faction that some may be KoS too, or is it indiff to all? Does this guy have some trigger event that like you give something to some NPC and it spawns a KoS version of the guardian, or is it just a level 70 raid mob who, for whatever reason, is indiff to all?
Any answers greatly appreciated =)

hard to believe as I have tested this also and every drop was a 20k drop. too bad you dont have a movie of it i can watch to satisfy myself with

Actually,
Normally you would take 20k dmg from the fall into the hole. BUT there is a way you can JUMP into the hole and NOT take more then 800 or so dmg =) My guild uses it to farm Nortlav and GOTS for his scales and FT2 gloves.

Haven't tested it in a year or so... but we used to enter the hole with little to no damage all the time:
One at a time, jump into the hole. Make sure you are looking straight down as you do it. After zoning in watch as the ground is rushing up toward you. Just before you hit the ground /quit out of the game. When you log back in you will arrive at whatever point you quit out falling the rest of the way to the bottom.
With practice you can make it taking 0 damage. This is easy enough to practice... just go to a different server... create a level one toon starting in Paineel and jump to your hearts content.

The way we do it is ....
All the DA capable people DA and drop in fropm Paileel ... some others are able to avoid death by sitting after they zone into the HOLE while falling ...
We are able to kill the GoS with 13 people ... MA on seal and 2 other offtanking killing the gargs as quick as possible .. hopefully by the time the gargs are dead the clerics arent OOM ...

I hadn't read the previous posts. But you know if you get an SK or necro you can VERY easily pet pull(FD then sick pet on mob, spam back or use pet hold till mob has been pulled far enough away to be tagged) the guards to the water edge. Really simple to do, I generally use level 49 necro pet for pet pulling, which is sk 65 pet i believe.

FYI for anybody on recon, Neither GotS or his Garg sidekicks show up on track. Before taking him out with my guild last night, I checked track and he didn't show up and I was staring right at him. Also confirmed this with another Ranger in the group.
about 25 from my guild raided the Hole last night. I won the Ghostly Mantle, and it also dropped the Ancient Tome, Purified Steel Earring, and Fusible Earthen Ore (I think from the Gaurdian... might have been one of his statue buddies next to him). The ore is the hardest piece for this quest:

Did him today with a force of about18 average level was 63 or so. After several failed attempts to split gargs with necro pet pulling and FD we just decided to send the MT with 2 clerics after the guardian and split the rest of the force between the 2 gargs. Gargoyles went down in less than a min and the entire force shifted to the guardian and he dropped 60 seconds later. There were no deaths. Each secondary tank pretargetted a garg as the MT targetted the guardian and they attacked simultaneously. No nonsense about trying to pull into the water and splitting them. Fast/Clean/No Drama kills. Falls easily for a lvl 70 raid mob but then loot isn't lvl 70 raid mob equal either.

We take him down alot quads high in the 900s like 100-105k hps pretty low we take him down easy the earring always drops . And pull the guards and send 3 people on each or some people can solo them

We took him tonight on Luclin, with a Raid force of about 20 and an avg of lvl 60, just get a necro to single pull Guardians to water behind Echo of Nortlay, you can EB up if ya want, but fight didn't last long enough for anyone to drown. Once you kill the guardians, move your force to wall on right side but DO NOT move around the corner, have all your clerics/healers target MT, and stand on right wall, have MT pull him to far right corner and get the rest of your Melee to attack him from behind and push him to corner while Healers stay out of AoE range and Chain CH on MT, once he hits 30% (doesn't GF anymore)Has a simular Knockback effect, thats why you have to keep him facing MT towards the corner, and once that's done , he's a cake walk.
He dropped the Earring and the Gloves along with the Tome as well, was a really fun raid . hope that helps =)

OK, best way to see if hes up, use some sort of spell that makes it so you take no dmg from falls/attacks cleric, necro etc have them... forgot the name of the spells divine something or whatever lol, but anyways just drop down the hole in the town you know were normally you would die from the drop but you wont take dmg if you use those invulnerability spells. When you drop down and get the bottom from falling... kinda hard to miss a big huge ass steel golem standing in front of the seal right in front of you... if you dont see one then hes not up and just gate back out :P

You can FD-Pet pull the guards using an SK or Necro and split him. The cleric guard (on the left) drops the pages for the Reactivate the Portals quest. The wizard guard (on the right) drops the piece for the Strength of the Elements quest.
Guardian of the Seal info:
-Quads 900's, Upper 600's in Defensive
-High ATK (Higher dps than Vindi!!!)
-Low HP, like 100k
-40% Slowable, Druid Debuffs land flawlessly
-Once down to 30%, he changes skin and starts grav fluxing, but with high enough MR, you can resist it. If you're a cleric, you can actually hide from this AE by cornering the guardian to the right and CHing from around the corner.
It's definitely a fast, fun, and furious fight. Guardian's DPS is very, very high, but is offset by his low amount of HP. He always drops two loots (Earring and Shoulders are most common) and has a chance to drop the book for the Reactivate the Portals quest along with those two loots.
Hope that helped. =)

This is a very informative post, thank you! I wish I had read it before we engaged the Guardian *snickers* Ah well, there is always tomorrow night. Just a tip, that east corner is great, just make sure your healers have the range down before the fight. Our first attempt had them screaming "oor!" The fact that the Guardian and friends are indifferent makes this very easy to set up.

Haven't seen anyone mention where in The Hole he spawns yet. Was looking into the Reactivate the Portals quest and need to know where this guy is. A /loc or # on EQ Atlas map would be most helpful if anyone has it...

We took him down a few nights ago. It wasn't pie but we did fine with only about 16 people.
Trying to split wasn't working because the Gargs were being naughty.... anyways the Guardian himself was frankly not harder then either of the gargs other then how hard he hits.
So we split up the raid. 1 65 Warrior with High AC/Damage Mit took the Guardian, while simultaniously 1 65 High HP Warrior and 1 65 Paladin(me~) took the two Gargs. I started the battle off with a stun and took a few seconds worth of the Guardian and let me tell you he isn't too easy. The Guardian was dragged into the corner to the right and the gargs were taken as they stood. Slow was casted on the Guardian first, then the Warriors garg, and finally my garg since mine was being stunned hardcore.
2 Backup warriors took on the Guardian (for agro list), while all the damage force (2 Rangers 2 Rogues a Mage and a Monk) helped in reverse order of the slows, to free up my Garg first, then moved to the Warriors Garg and finally moved to the Guardian. Worked great, but the funny thing was when we had finally taken down both Gargs the Guardian was at 50% hp... from just 3 warriors and a mage tossing some hits in once in a while.
Needless to say he went down like a trash mob... I didn't even notice the "morph" thing he went down so freaking fast (maybe the MT did~).

About splitting the gargoyles, I inadvertantly discovered that they are corpse campers, so used that to split them. Took me a total of three deaths to split the two. Here's how I did it:
Positioned myself against the wall across from Nortlav and cast on the nearest gargoyle, the Guardian & the nearest gargoyle immediately sprinted to me while the far gargoyle started casting. A couple of attempts to FD failed while they were casting on me and I ended up dying. --however-- after I died, the closest gargoyle proceeded to walk over to my corpse and sit on it, while the Guardian and the other one returned to their spawn point. Split #1.
Second gargoyle was basically the same method, except you've got to live long enough for him to run to you. The first time only the Guardian ran to me while the garg sat there and chain casted his nukes. When I died this time, both just returned to their spawn point. On the second attempt I got the gargoyle to run about halfway to me before he started casting. When I died, he walked over and sat on my corpse while the Guardian returned to spawn point. Split #2.

last nite our guild did the Guardian he dropped a Dagger 15/21 cant remember the name though...
Awesome dagger though. He also dropped the gloves and the earring...
BTW he is nerfed and much harder... a 2 group raid averagge 63 wiped on him... with that knockback you must corner pin him and tank must hold agro or peeps will fly!!! BTW he quads for 900 so be careful...

we took him tonight - 24 people (which was overkill) and no deaths.
OTing is easy, and I as a 65 warrior didn't need a CH until very late on in the fight (when the guardian morphs).
That said, our MT (approx 8700hp, defensive abilities) did take a serious beating off this guy - we had a 3 cleric rotation at (I think) /pause 45 and I was still spot healing him with my boxed cleric.
The guards have a LOT of hp, so it's likely that the guardian will die before they do if most of your force is focussing on the guardian.
Once you get outside engage room, make sure echo of nortlay (sp) is pulled, as he'll assist if not (was told this, but as we pulled him I can't confirm).
After that, head into the room glued to the right wall - you can get your entire raid force in there and all targetting done without aggro.
Then it's just a matter of MT defensive up, and MT + 2 OTs charge the targets, with the raid force making sure they're in range to do what they need.
we DID manage to land a partial disease slow, and shamans crucible slow guide confirms that the guardian is slowable, but I don't think anything better landed.
The fight is mostly just straight forward until the guardian hits 30%, then a grav flux effect seems to kick in (with dd built in), and with GMR + bard resist magic song, I was hit 3 times during the last 30% of the mob. Be careful during this time, as your clerics may get gfluxed out of range, so as soon as the mob is getting close to 30, assign a couple spot healers back to MT to make sure that any breaks in the rotation are catered for.
Once Guardian is dead, finish off the 2 guards.
He dropped the mantle and the earring tonight, and one of the guards dropped the ore.
Hope this helps,

That said, our MT (approx 8700hp, defensive abilities) did take a serious beating off this guy - we had a 3 cleric rotation at (I think) /pause 45 and I was still spot healing him with my boxed cleric.
The guards have a LOT of hp, so it's likely that the guardian will die before they do if most of your force is focussing on the guardian.
Once you get outside engage room, make sure echo of nortlay (sp) is pulled, as he'll assist if not (was told this, but as we pulled him I can't confirm).
After that, head into the room glued to the right wall - you can get your entire raid force in there and all targetting done without aggro.
Then it's just a matter of MT defensive up, and MT + 2 OTs charge the targets, with the raid force making sure they're in range to do what they need.
we DID manage to land a partial disease slow, and shamans crucible slow guide confirms that the guardian is slowable, but I don't think anything better landed.
The fight is mostly just straight forward until the guardian hits 30%, then a grav flux effect seems to kick in (with dd built in), and with GMR + bard resist magic song, I was hit 3 times during the last 30% of the mob. Be careful during this time, as your clerics may get gfluxed out of range, so as soon as the mob is getting close to 30, assign a couple spot healers back to MT to make sure that any breaks in the rotation are catered for.
Once Guardian is dead, finish off the 2 guards.
He dropped the mantle and the earring tonight, and one of the guards dropped the ore.
Hope this helps,

Echo definately does not assist, maybe he will if someone in your raid is KOS to him somehow but otherwise he wont.

We had 3 groups of Lvl 65 and it was over kill bigtime, we offtanked both Gargs and MT cornered Guardian and not one person even came close to dieing .. was over in less than 45 seconds..as a Pally offtank with 8700+ Hps I didn't even need a CH with keeping garg chain stunned to avoid CH of the guardian which the gargs will do...... but over all was a VERY easy encounter.... dropped gloves, earing and the Strength of the elements component...

Anyone try to pacifiy/harmony the gargoyles yet? Rather then tackle this guy with 3 groups of lvl65's, some friends and i that farm what's left of late-night rares would like to take this guy on. (you can only clear umbral, and kunark dragons so many times). Pulling him single (or peel gargoyles first, then him)would turn the tables a bit, and would likely make him 1-group doable. <Discuss> <Criticize> <Prove me Wrong>

Myself as a 65 chanter and a 65 Necro friend made several attempts at splitting these guys. None of the 3 can be pacified and the Gargs were not snarable/mezzable. We stopped trying after 2 deaths each ;)

Any info on what his spawn time is. I'd like to kill the gargoyles without having to bother with him (I could use the ore they drop), which would be impossible if the two are on the same spawn timer

does he still drop the piece for strength of the elements?
His Gargoyle guards drop the piece, now. One on either side, non-agro.

Anyone have info on the Ancient Tomb of Reserch?
We killed him last night and he droped it and the ear and mantle. I got the tomb so any info would be a big help.

- Quads for 900 max but averages 500.
- Cannot be slowed
- At 30% he morphs into a stone golem form
- When he does this he does Rampage only once but I didnt notice if it was AoE or not. Didnt seem to be a big problem at least not enough to kill anyone.
- He gains a Gravity Flux attack which will toss you into the air.
- He also has an AoE called "Earthen Shrapnel" which does more damage depending on how far away from him you are. 500dd close, 300dd medium range, and 150dd long range. Resist is magic but at -300. Lucy says it has a knockback effect as well which is probably how you get knocked around in the air after he GFlux's you.
- I didnt notice any extra procs and have no idea if the GFlux was an independant AoE or part of his "Earthen Shrapnel" AoE.
The way we did it, had a Ranger use weaponshield to tank the Guardian while two back up tanks dragged the gargoyles away. 8.3k HP Warrior MT grabs the Guardian and we had four clerics on CH chain (5seconds) on him then. Had other healers doing double on healing backup and patching MT (gargoyles are not hard). As soon as he changed form the clerics broke chain and started patching and everyone helped patch the MT hard (MGB Heal helped as well). Then he died, easy peesy. Good rule on this guy is to NOT waste your ManaBurn and other high damage abilitys on him untill he changes form. After he changes he becomes a monster. Total people on this raid: 19

We have killed this guy 3 times so far Hehe we are monopolizing him on Luclin :) One correction I would make is According to our Shaman he is slowable. I may be mistaken but The Slow was called out all three times we killed him. Also I strongly recommend not bothering with CH rot. Just spam heal the MT as needed. We used a Warrior or a SK on The Guardian and used Paladins or SKs on the two gargs. We had everyone but the MT and SA on the gargs first until killed then had everyone switch to the Guardian. Shaman debuffed and slowed all the mobs first off.
If done Right he is an easy kill for raid of around 30 (or less) if raid group averages 60+.
Did him with 24 last time and went down easy.

We took him down a few days ago..had to triple tank (1 on Guardian and 1 each on the cleric gargoyles). A few off the raid force to make quick with his clerics and the majority of the force on him. Did a knockback that was a pita..but when he morphed he did this strange Gflux that picked everyone up..swung them over and dropped us in the pool. Actually a sweet move..was cool. Course it screwed up the CH rot since all the clerics were in the pool. But was fun all in all..specially when you succeed then can laugh. Of course all the casters wanted that spell..LOL.

Did anyone notice the Dormant Watcher in his room? We couldn't figure out how to activate him or engage him. Con blue to 63, huge gargoyle. Love the new graphics there tho.

Here is the low down on this.
quads for 980 unslowable.
has two guards who can not be split both have 30k hp and are clerics, so kill them first.
At 25% he changes forms from steel golem to stone golem.... he rampages once then morphs and starts to proc a 900dd with a HUGE knockback...
The morphin power ranger thing was very unexpected, and wiped our raid but we did get him down and a cleric camped and rezzed and got our loot.

I went down there about a week ago and we tried this guy. After the MT went down he came after the rest of the raid, he attacked me and though he did 3x 4x hits his max on me was 600. Mostly he hit for 400.
We tried for about an hour to split the Guardian and the two gargoyles but couldn't manage it. We were able to pull the Guardian and one of his guards off but then aggroing the 2nd guard who was left behind made the other two come after the tagger when the puller was dead. They seem to have one huge aggro range. All three are immune to snare, root and can't be pacified either.
Beside that all I can say is that the Guardian is hitting for a good 900 though he only seems to double at best, his attacks were semi-fast, his attack speed doesn't come close to e.g. Derakor the Vindicator's. He doesn't flurry or rampage either or only so slowly that we never witnessed it in the 20 seconds our fights against him lasted.
