Old Sebilis and the myconoid King

[badgerpatrol]

Well after nailing the stingers with your guys help ( can do the camp with ease now !! ) I decided i wanted some PP ... 66 necro , have suspend minion level 1 - approx 2300 hps , 4300 mana and all spells.

I tried getting to the myconoid spore king ( want that tunic !! ) once... fought my way and got into his room ( green room , died before that pond ) and screwed up big time with a few mushrooms and died.

There are a LOT of mushrooms in here... once I get in here - are there any tactics you guys could lemme know of - ive read that site ( the one where the guy says he has 5000hps and runs thru and FD's ) but I cant do that... I assume you take the right path with the 1-2 roamers instead of the left path ( on entrance of room ) where theres already 2 mobs standing ?

Is it possible to go up the right path, after killing roamers and just single pull everything in the room ; FD pulling that is to the end of the right path - starting with clerics and just clear the room out ? Id figure with the 25+ min respawn timer once camp is broken into it becomes relatively easy...

Any advice ? My 65 Pet dosent seem to hold aggro up vs a myconoid warrior while im Dotting / DD'ing, and root ( Greater Immobilize ) is rather random hehe.

Furthermore; do myconoids see thru invis ? Would be nice to get a scope out of the room before I pull =)

Thanks in advance ! :rolleyes:

Didn't kitherea or whatever write a guide complete with maps for this?

I honestly forget how to do this delicately...since PoP I just run in, and train my way all the way to trakanon's bridge and then fd, go get a soda and make a sammich, come back..stand, unsuspend pet..kill mobs by the bridge and then kill trakanon, /loot and gate.

The fungi king was much the same way, the fabled owned me though(the last time I went there) last time that was in the game, although I'll solo that guy in 2010 or so when I'm 22k hps unbuffed! I never really bothered with clearing in, I just would go fd in the far corner, kill the 2 roamers that enter his room and then kill the rest heh.

I did this at 67 for the first time a couple of weeks ago... my advice to you would be just run to the spot marked on that map, fd to clear agro and then work through the guide.

My one major issue with the spot is that I don't have adv. pet discipline so my pet wouldn't reliably stay on one target (stunning is necessary to kill those darned CH'ers, unless you want to damage them till they oom) so invariably fights would last a long time.

However, with the 67 pet, I found no problem in killing the king if they were all warriors, just pull them all, sick your pet on them, heal your pet, and dot the king. King will go down before your pet does, then fd and start over (when I do it again, I will only kill king and clear till you get everything non-healer). If there are any healers use the guide to clear the healers. I think with adv. pet discipline though you could reliably kill a healer + x non-healers without much issue as long as you stayed on that healer.

Dunno if it would be worth the trouble at 66 (without a lot of aa's to help keep everything dead and you alive), just get 67 (and pet) and life will be a lot easier down there.

I did this on accident about 2 days ago. I was doing the lich cap and got frustrated lookin lfay for ground spawn at all the "sure" spots to find it. So I figure I never been to that part of Seb what the heck, I can kill one shroom surely get the thing I need an leave.

So I cleared my way in to first broken bridge, not very far in mind and jump in water, follow water around a lil kill a couple more trying to figure out which way I wanna go to get out.

I find the U shape water area and pop out, whammo got jumped by 4 frogs, wasnt that big a deal just suprised me cause they summoned. Looking forward I see door and 2 rooms off on each side. I figure better safe then sorry and clean out the one that is each of rooms on side.

I move forward caught like 2-3 roamers frogs, kill them and go into pond area right before king. I look left see a shroom, figure well lets get this party started I need some fungus, tag the one it was like hittin a bee hive got like 8. So I FD, then FD pet clear agro and still have one sittin on my head so I get up got him at about 20% when I get a roamer from left, take out 1 have about 20% now on 2 and get a roamer from right, take him out and have back frog agro.

Anyway kill them one of them drops the fungus I need and am gettin ready to go and see king casting spells and think well I gotta at least try it. I look left still 2 sittin over there from my first messed up attempt, look right see a hallway, move up the hallway and at first left look in room 2 shroom guards and king in middle. I hug right wall and get in a kinda cubby and figure I should try and pet pull off the adds then deal with king. I toss lamer pet at warrior on right and pull it back to me and start laying into it, apparently king sees me eatin his buddy decides he wants to play too.

I kill lamer pet, unsuspend big one and lay into king. King goes down pet finishes off warrior, I loot king and got a Tunic lol.

Not sure how much that helps, I am 70 with VexThalish level gear and almost 600AA. Minus the getting caught off guard a couple times it was really easy and I basically tap tanked my way thru everything except the one Shroom fiasco.

So when you first pop up like 3-4 frogs in front, a couple roamers and way to king is clear. I am not sure how to split him other then pet pull didnt get 1 of the mobs on his dias =P.

Lol and I know if I had been trying for the stupid tunic I would still be there trying =P
