Maraudon vs. a shaman team (just a FYI)

Just a FYI

Over the weekend I did a Maraudon run, went well up until I hit Princess. She is immuned to all nature damage. Something I wasn't aware of. Trying to melee her down and frost shocking her didn't go well, got her to 8% and died. I cleared every boss before her, so time I got to her the place had respawns, I wasn't about to clear up to her again.

So just a note, for the next group your leveling if you happen to go in there, know what to expect. I think I would have downed her fine had I not wasted all that mana casting wondering why she wasn't taking any damage :rolleyes:

Despite finding the first flaw in this combo (Boss related only). I must say I still stand by my word that this is the Ultimate 5 box team make up ever for PVE. I take on instances while the NPC's con Orange just to make it interesting. Yellow cons I can gather up 10 or so at a time and just mow them down. It's freakin awesome.

BTW hit 50 over the weekend and collected a ton of PVP content. The Movie has finally made some good progress. Part 3 is well underway!

Sorry about that. Just to warn you for future, the glowy dragons in ST (named ones) are nature immune also. The 2 near the end have knockback, so just be careful about that. Other people have said to just use one to tank her and rest stay 25+ yards away so you don't get her pushback AOE and totems still affect everyone. Tank uses frostshock and others use flame shock if they can get 20 yards and then back up. The (patrols-rock guys) elementals are nature immune, that might have given you a hint that others in there would be also. But you get 4-5 chances to get her down though (self-res). Good luck with her, I loved the staff from the quest reward.

Big trees in dire maul are nature immune too. Shame, it's the one old world dungeon I've never really done and I was looking forward to it.

BTW, it takes forever to kill them with a prot pally. Yeah....

I'll probably just spec enhancement for mara and stick to flameshocks.

wtb 5 Kang's Decapitators pst.

Not sure if any of you know this large place well enough. But I could use some directions. I want to farm Tinkerer Gizlock (#9) For the following item for my team http://thottbot.com/i17718

i can't find this dude!

I started from the Orange entrance (A, on map) as that’s the only one I could find. I cleared boss 1,2,3,6,7,C, 8. Can’t find 9 for the life of me. I can get really close to the location but there is a wall there. Coming from boss 10 on the map if I walk from there to the 9 Location there’s a wall only there. It must be on another level.
No idea where this guy is hiding but would love to farm that shield. Any tips/tricks?

I love farming Gizlock. Go in scepter entrance. Go past hyrdra, about 4 sets of basks, then hang a right at a path that goes right and left (up ramp). You should see like 10 worms. Go through like 5 worm sets and 5 basks (you can jump down ledges so you dont have to fight as much). At bottom is Gizlock. You can kil him alone, but a pat comes where he is, so pull him to you. Then just take off gear, run into mobs, die, go into purple entrance, get body and then back to scepter room. Trust me, it doesnt take long to die and get body back compared to getting out any other way. Then reset instance and repeat. I am guessing (totally guessing) about 30 min a run depending on how many mobs you skip. Prob more like 20, but it has been a while since I timed it. Good luck.

Thanks couple questions.

Scepter room? If you mean kill that boss that spawns the trees (down in the murky green water). I killed him last night, I was able to talk to him, but he gives no quest for that cepter/Trinket? to spawn at that stone down there. Am I missing a step?

When you come into orange side, there is a centar in a pool. Get that quest. It takes 2 parts. One is on the hard water elemental guy in orange. I call him the last boss, cause the one after him is just too far to be worth it. The next part is on the purple boss, demon. Then you talk to the centar in purple and he walks over to the stone (not a quest at this point, just talk to him). Then at the stone, he asks for both parts and then gives you a quest to find out more about some crap. He means read the book at the statue. Just right click it and some magic stuff happens and then eventually he gives you a scepter to get into Mara, just after him at the waterfall. When you come into Mara, just follow path and go straight when you can, it comes to a open room with a cubby in it. Use scepter on pad and it beams you into just after the waterfall.

Hope that helps.

The ending centaur (Celebras) is actually after the paths merge (yes, that guy that spawns the trees that you killed ;)), just before Earth Song Falls. You have to kill him then talk to his spirit.

The easiest way to find Gizlock is from the Princess... Face up the ramp you came down to find the princess, jump off into the water. There IS a huge gator down there and lots of hydra's, so be ready to fight when you jump. Keep left until you come out of the water and end up on dry land. Work y our way the only way out and you'll find Gizlock a few turns in.

This is by far the easiest way to find him, once you've done that it's easy to reverse engineer your path to him for easy farming if you want to leave the other blue's behind...

If you go your way, you have to fight hydras, pats, big rock guys, and it takes longer since you have to get to princess anyway. My way is way shorter.
