when my skald (hybrid classification) activated it, i was given the choice between Caster or Combat orientation... i choose combat obviously... as a result the crown gives +18 con and levels off of people able to channel magic. Dec 19

Strategy:

loc of Zahur is Oceanus Boreal, 28k, 20k     Dec 3

We did Crown of Zahur encounter tonight on Alb Galahad with 1fg. Had 2 clerics, 1 friar, 2 pallys, 1pbt theurg, 1 arms, and me (scout), all 50's. We killed the minions one at a time, starting with cave shammy one, then the others. The 'energies' went back slowly to the rock and we had no problem killing them before they got there even without heavy nukes.

Zahur did port all over the place, including back to his rock, but he never re-summoned his friends. I guess we got lucky. We only had one death in our party the whole time. This encounter is definitely do-able with one group...only bad part was that he didn't drop the crown, and some party members didn't get credit.   Feb 2

2fg+ to take him down, I’ve heard of a perfect fg of mids doing this with a power/healing field so…. Zahur himself hates melee big time and is highly immune to all magic. His minions hate magic. I’m not sure what type of magic works best on his minions but our suppression spirit masters (spirit) had a good ole time with them.

Basically:

1) go find him near his rock. Sometimes he leaves his rock and can roam pretty far away from it but he’s always near it at 28/20 boreal.

2) Have a tank grab Zahur while the rest of the horde works on each minion one by one. It really doesn’t matter which order you do but I think Dan is a cave shammy and you know how damaging they can be.

Once a minion dies you MUST nuke the hell out of their ‘energy’. The energy has low resists to all magic that we midgaardians could tell. When killing the minions make sure they are fairly far away from the rock otherwise you won’t have time to kill the minion’s ‘energy’. If the ‘energy’ reaches the rock their magical powers will be useable by Zahur and Zahur’s melee resists increase dramatically.

3) Start killing Zahur. He will teleport all over the place so be aware. Archers should just use /face and rapid fire, you’ll do the most damage to him then anyone else. Zahur has very low melee resists and very high magic resists.

4) During the fight Zahur will teleport back to his rock now and then to resummon his minions. When he does this repeat steps 2 and 3.

So in conclusion: Kill Minions, Kill Minion’s Energy, Kill Zahur, Zahur teleports summons new minions, rinse and repeat until dead.

Bring as many hitters as you bring nukers to this guy.   Jan 8

Tips:

We dove down to the magic rock, so find Zohur and his 3 friends floating around. We had 1.5 well put together groups with healing fields. Despite what some suggest, do not kill Zohur first and disregard his friends. He is very very strong when all of his friends are up, plus they cast and interrupt healers.
When you kill of his his friends, the energy is released, your job is to kill that energy before it reaches the rock and is absorbed by it. If you do not, Zohur grows stronger. We killed each friend and its energy, then Zohur was no problem. he also teleports behind the rock, so just pull him back when he does so. Jan 5

These guys are worth lots of Melee exp, took us a little more than 2 full groups. Kill Zahur as fast as possible and you can disregard his buddies. Dec 30
