Nathyn Illuminious

"this creature would take an army to defeat!"

should also be marked as a raid encounter.

Killed him solo, 75 SK, mostly Anguish gear, bit over 700 AAs, epic 2.0... took about 1 1/2 hours. He has about 1 million hp, and some absurd mitigation, I was putting out about half my normal dps. It doesn't help that he dispelled everything right away. I took about 445k damage over the course of the fight, and parsed his dps as 85.

soloable by a 70 shaman.

2 pieces of Anguish Gear.

rawr.

Curse dots for the win, easy to slow. LONGGGGGGGG fight, expect to be spending 3-4 hours of quality time with him.

Could a group consisting of 1 CoA Pally, 1 CoA Beastlord, 1 OoW Cleric, 1 Time Druid, 1 Time Mage and 1 Time Shaman do this?

What does he hit for roughly? And his resists?

Our guild killed him for the first time yesterday. Had 15 people, average level 63. My 2-boxed willy got 3 full mana bars dumped into this guy. Had 2 archery masters plugging away, the rest meleeing or nuking. Swapped between 2 healers, and had 1 necro for twitching them. Long ass fight that's for sure.

What is his respawn rate...?

Nathyn is a lvl 64 enchanter, human, no pet and no other MOB in the room to assist him. Just invis straight up to his room and park in the far corner and get set up. This is out of his aggro range.

The first time we killed him for a chanter in my guild, with 65 chanter, 2 necros 65 and 61 for pure DPS, warrior, cleric, a druid who was kind enough to hang around after porting us, and a paladin 58 who was in zone at the time and curious. This fellow has a TRUCKLOAD of hit points and AC that would shame Va'Dyn.

We sent in the necro pets to eat the tash and suffocate, the warrior got aggro and it was just a knock down drag out LONG fight from there. He did not resist any necro spell except Blood of Thule and Horror, but Splurt, Funeral Pyre, Saryrns Kiss, Plague and Dark Plague landed on him, as well as Touch of Mujaki. I was casting on him constantly, and he would have easily eaten up over 15 casts of splurt. The chanter kept him slowed, his max hiot on the warrior was a double 547, and he flurries. The cleric never went under 40 mana, just the occasional CH. Warrior's highest crit was 103 with a Blade of War, and usual hit was 47. I life burned him for 5556 HP at 2% and he still kept fighting for at least 30-45 seconds with everyone else still nuking and casting on him.

The second fight the following day (he spawns alone, no pet, just invis to his room) was quite instructive. People there were 65 paladin, 2 65 clerics, 65 necro, 65 BL, 63 ranger, 65 wizard and a 65 chanter. MUCH shorter fight because the Paladin, even though his weapon was not anywhere near the BoW in stats, had Slay Undead. He still did not land his usual massive crits, the highest being 600+, but we burned him down in about 20 minutes.

He is definitely killable with a single high level group that consists of a heavy duty tank, a cleric with a fair sized mana pool, a slower, a dot class, and the other two optional. Suggested optimal grp:

Paladin - preferably with slay undead
Cleric - heals and spells vs undead
Chanter - for manadrain and slow
Necro - for pet and dots, mana feeds if necessary
Second cleric or necro, or a pet class eg BL
DPS class, preferably long range like wiz/mage/ranger

The chanter and I are going charming in Crypt of Decay, Veksar etc now that we are both SOOOO charismatic :o)

Heh, don't under estimate this guy. I'm the type that will try any encounter once with a few people. First time was with myself (65 enchanter), and 2 necro's.

We started the fight by sending the necro pet's in. I tashed and slowed, and things were okay for a bit there. We managed to get him down to 97% before he beat the bloody crap out of us.

We tried again, this time the group consisted of: 65 Warrior, 65 Enchanter, 65 Necro, 65 Necro, 65 Druid, 58 Cleric, 54 Paladin.

The warrior and the paladin charged in, and the warrior obtained the aggro. Took us a while (didn't exactly keep track of time), but we killed'em. He _did_ drop the Robe of Beguilement, which is now what I'm wearing. This robe is *GREAT* for us to use in the planes soloing.

Don't disregard this equipment just because it doesn't have +100HP and +100Mana.


Facts about Nathyn:

- I got resisted 0 times (tashed w/ Howl of Tashan)
- He flurry's
- He summons
- He cannot be mesmerized
- He cannot be rooted
- He has about 1,000,000 HP.
- Max hit on me was 576.


Make sure you slow continuously throughout the battle, it was wearing off him real quick. Slow, cripple, and cast "curse of the simple mind" if you're an enchanter. Use "Wandering mind", "Torment of scio", and "Mana sieve" to screw his mana pool. If you've got necro's with you, make sure they mana wrack'em to death =)

65 Enchanter

this guy is in the top of the building guarded by 2 sonic wolves and 2 guards. Just keep going up the stairs and u should find him

Kill him with 1 group of war(MT), necro (dots, pet and mana for cler), mage (earth pet, malo and dd), bard (manasong and meele dps), ench (dc pet - his guard are near lvl 46 btw :-),tash, slow, cripple and STEAL MANA) and cler (heals of course), all 65.
We started with mages pet, then ench tash slow cripple and steal ALL his mana, then all other attack him. With ench keeping him slowed and oom its easy but long fight ( like 25-30 min). Noone got charmed or dispelled - except mages pet, it was dispelled at first minuts of fight.

Where is he Located.?
actual Loc numbers would be nice.. anything will help tho.

He is on Nathyn Illuminious faction:
Nathyn Illuminious got worse
Validus Custodus got better
Coterie of the Eternal Night got better
Heart of Seru got better
Shoulders of Seru got better

Slow and Cripple land easily on him.
Magic, Fire, Cold land easily.
Poison and Disease are fully resisted.

Long long fight for one group. Seems to have high AC as our melee could not hit him hard. Know your slow's duration and keep re-slowing; don't ever let that wear off ;)

Kill him twice with one group of Warrior, Druid, Shaman, Enchanter, Cleric and SK, all 65. Took us about an hour the first time and 45 min the second. Our Warrior charge in without weapons on and go defensive cos he WILL charm you after he tash you. The Enchanter started with tash and then immediately Recant Magic on him 2 times to cancel his buffs. After that, the Enchanter re-tash and followed by Torment of Scio while the Shaman malo and slow. Once slowed he is not hard at all. Our cleric was constantly at 60 mana (on horse) throughout the fight and he could even summon his hammer pet on the mob throughout the fight. Once the important debuffs (Tash, Malos, Slow, Sico, Cripple) were on, our SK, Shaman, Enchanter and Druid summon pets and send them in (Enchanter had AA to control pet like a mage). Enchanter proceed to speed pets and we fight him by the window which was a good location cos it will not agro any mobs outside and it kept him pinned there. It is important to keep Slow and Torment of Scio (suck 45 mana per tick)on him cos he does hit hard and Scio will prevent him from mana regen so he cannot cast charm again. It was a long fight but fun. Stack as many DoTs as you can on him to reduce his regen. Casters should go on their horses after fight begin and the situation is in control. Don't overnuke or he will get angry at you and pound you for 500 plus and casters can't really take much pounding. He always drops the robe. My chanter and another chanter in my guild now wears the 100 cha robe. :)

Oh yes, we only speed our tanks and equip our weapons after we are sure he will not charm again cos we do not want our Ogre warrior attacking our Cleric with his SoD and BoC with haste. :)

Of course as I was starting the quest I saw spam of him being killed...Someone told me he was spawnable, so I started quest over again...Nadda...tried once more today...still no Nathyn...guess I'll just wait for him to spawn.

I apologize if this is a stupid question =)

IF he does charm you,,,,, does the Charm effect show up in your buff effect slot? Are you charmed the entire time or if it shows up in the buff slot does it blink and dissappear like other mob effects on a PC???

Thanks!

Anyone know if it is possible to fix you're faction if you're a complete moron and kill him without doing shield turn in first?

Thanks in advance

I haven't fought him, but He is part of the turn in for Loyalist Shield of Honor, he spawns after your return the note to Phenic from Shadowhaven. At this point if your goal is to kill him and get the robe. Goto his house and rip him a new one. Can do as many times as need probably due to the fact he is Spawnable, but the ones wanting the Shield better get past him before killing him due to he has his own faction and nothing is worse than missing out on the 50ac 15str 15wis 75hp back/secondary plate class item.

*edit* The location is approx 400, -750 that house is his house. Top floor behind the door.

Oh BTW the one post above here say something about four-five faction hits and the other one says that Nathyn is the only faction hit you take.....Well your both kinda right. Nathyn Illuminoius is the only negative faction hit.
The others are all positive....Think it was like seru...hand of seru and even the ever popular coterie faction all positive......soooo Nathyn is the only negative faction you need to worry about.

ive been at his spawn spot for over 36hours
i left for work for 8 hours came back and he still wasnt up

Guild just took this guy down. 28 of us 55+ this guy took roughly 15 minutes. So have clerics rdy to heal for a while and you should be ok.

I am max ally to this guy, when hailed he doesnt hint to any quests or anything.

Hi Guys..
We droped this guy last night, had about 12 or 13 ppl 55+... took us about 40min to drop this mother.. I think he hit for 575 highest... not saying it is the highest though... Dropped "Robe of Dark Beguilement" 18AC STR+15 INT+15 and yes CHAR+100.
Congratulations to Chanzilla!

Does anyone know this guy's respawn time?

Thanks

Really easy with 1 good tank and 2 clerics. Invis up to his room and hug the right when you go in until you're ready (if kos people with). Sieve him right off to stop the charming and other nasty enchanter things, then beat on him til he dies in his room. Lots of hp, lots of ac, pois/disease immune, fire/magic/cold lands easily.
