**Nork Lair Hunts:**
Referenced : Edge Guild.
Goblin lord -
The first of the lairs. To get to him you have to find a silver Key in Nork -1 Dungeon's , He is part of the quest with Hector and his sister, when you complete it you get a very nice +1 / +1 ring. I remember doing him when I was a youngling , with my sanquin armor and finding him quite tough , bad I really wanted that ring :). He hits for about 30 / round and has about 500 hits himself.
Lizard king -
Pretty much the second Lair , you have to talk to Annalie and sir Halden to get into the lair, from a teleported in the SW part of Nork -2. He uses Fire ball and has a +1 mace, I remember this was the Shield I got :). When you complete the quest you get a con pot.
Naga -
To get here you find a silver statute in the Prisons , and then head down to the bottom , don't go into the mino maze head south in the water you will need to hold the figurine to get past some turbulent water. She has about the same number of hits as the Red Dragon but does not hit as hard , she cast dark and poison, you can tan her for some armor.
Black Dragon (BD) -
There are 2 Nork BD's the one in Frore seem's to be a bit easier , I dont think it has as many npc's tp eat. But the npc's here can be quite nasty evil nork types. The Frore one is out from a hole in the fate pools south west corner. You need to blow a hole in the wall at the end of a corridor then follow the path.
Old Notes : This one is typical Dragon hunt in that after you get to the lair he typically is all alone, you will need to get past some elementals on the way so be prepared for them if you don't have to many hits . The Dragon himself hits 100-250, has proned me for 350-400, but I think the acid is the biggest problem with bracers only for protection it gets me for 200-300 if im in the middle of it so you have to watch out for that.
There is a twig spot in the NE corner of the Lair
Party for BD If you're a stick and don't have 400 hits stay away he will eat you. Take some healers and at least 2 maxed sticks or your toast

** MEGALich
Well I cant tell you much but a few Edgers including me went on the hunt , WHAT A BLAST !! He was very nasty , but I think that the group was just not prepared correctly , the second time I went back I wore all my PSI cutters and lived for quite a while being hit for a bout 400 - 500 per shockwave.
Check the map to see where this is look for the buildings south or Freore. 1st and most important when you find the building there is a long hole running along in front of the door . Jump in the top of the hole ( NE in command mode while standing in the door will do it). After you jump down the hole head north untill you see a wall then follow the all east to the end then north to the top wall , follow this wall along untill you see the rock wall move to 2 hexes away form the brick wall, now just around here is a place you can blast a hole in the brick wall. The area seems to me to be simular to KM-1 , wraiths , skellies, harpies, and NPC's of n-7 size
There are 7 liches, and they get harder as you go , if you dont have a ment and a healer with you you will need iv scrolls and ps twigs, and if ur not real big a coffin.
They are not to bad until you get to number 5 this is when they start to become hard to see , at lvl 17 I can see no 5 and 6 if they are on me but if the move off me I have problems , these guys attack with a flail for about 50-100 , and a espear for 100 - 200, when you kill each lich you will get a amulet to take you to the next lich , just hold the ammy in your hand and jump on the center hex
If you dont have enough ammies for your party , you can send one person down to the bottom with the spare ammys and they can come up and give them to the others so they can come up or you can dex up
Now Papa is a nasty bugger, at Level 17 skill 14 I can see him most of the time but I cant hit him very well at all so you need some big sticks and at lease 2 healers for this one . A ment with abs will also be very handy, He hits with flail for 50-150 , but the stopper is the espear for 200-400. Our normal plan for him is to send up the first group and meet at the steps to the east ( dont go up they are one way only once up you cant come back ) Make sure you only take this guy on with 2 big sticks lvl 18 or more , and 2 healers unless your real big
When you kill him you will get a Uzi for all your hard work :) , the steps up will take you back to the area just above Homlet
Hally Giant
Look on my map for this guy , he is down by Levi. If you look on the east side of the rocks around the levi lair ( the outside) you will see some steps up. Crits up here are like N-7 , if the doors are closed its not to bad up here , the hally giant is in the first building , once you go up the steps follow the North path around then go in the first do u see on the East building.
well he hits allot and for about 200 - 350 , but the key thing is he hits quite often so be very careful, make sure you take a big healer or two if you are unsure , he does not have very many hits thank god , but be carefull when he gets pumped and is hitting to 420 you will need to pay close attention
He will give you a +5 proning Hally and lots of stuff, good rings here and if you pop you will make a fortune
Cloud Giants
There are 2 of these guys in Nork , one lives past the Nork Griffin , u need some mountain climbing boots to get up there , he lives in a castle filled with Npc's like the ones on n-5 and not very big zoos of them.
When you find him watch out that he does not prone you out the hole in the wall in his lair, with a prone and that fall it hurts like hell trust me
The other one lives in Evil Nork which is a very nasty place, crits like on n-7 but there seems to be more ments and healers down here , some of the npc's are worth 15 - 20 k xp , When you fight this guy ( He is in the big hall where you start as a newbie in normal Nork ) make sure you close the doors because there is nothing worse than having a bunch on Npc's walk in. be very careful in evil Nork its nasty , and make sure you have stun prot on.
OK now the guy himself , is not to hard , he hit me for 150 -200 and proned for 350 max. he is worth about 227 k xp for a kill so that's nice, but apart from that there does not seem to me to be much point apart form the sport of it in killing these guys , but hey I guess if he's there he deservers to be killed
Fire Giant —
In the portal room in evil Nork there is a drop down hole to the fire plains, this is a nasty place. Lots of fire storm don the hole , bulk elementals and salamander and a few Red Dragons to top it off, and the whole place is Lava so if you die its hard to find your gear, one SNR and a lvl 16 fire ring was plenty of prot from the fire in the plains.
He lives in a castle in the centre of the plain , if you go south from the drop you will see a wall , follow this west and you will find the door in. His lair is to the east , Spots lair is to the west. The day we went in there was 3 red dragons in there as well but I don't know if that's about normal or not.
He has about as many hits as a Hally giant but he hits more often and a bit harder , normal hit about 150 - 250 , prones for 400 +.
There is a portal out to Freore out form his lair and to the east you will see a small dead end passage at then end of this is a portal to Freore
Long Sword Slicer —
This guy is a totally different beast than the Great sword slicer , so ill separate them
OK he lives on N-7 if you head out the main doors W, then go south until you come to a big room with a huge zoo, best bet is to run east and lock him up in the last room to the east before you get into the cave with the Cob teleporter in it .
Once you have killed the zoo , hard work for a start you can keep the door shut and take him out nice and safe ( well safe as you are going to get ), He hits for about 250 - 350 at the start but if he kills a few watch out he gets real nasty .
The best plan we have found to kill him is have some sticks with Parry , get him to target one of them and the other sticks hit while they parry , if he moves onto you and you cant handle the heat run into the portal room and let him re-target. This seems to work quite well.
When you kill him you will get a LS Slicer ( the key to n-8 ) and untied SD armour to share around.
Here's a hint the more big sticks the merrier on this hunt , and take 2 heals if you can , and never be without stun protect
Leviathan —-
Levi is not to hard but he has a ton of hits so its best if you can take a big group of sticks , he hits for about 200-350 so its best if you have over 400 hits if you are going into the middle of the fight. He also poisons , he does not eat , but he does strip so be careful
lots of people have different ways of fighting him like making walls and a floor around him to box him in to help with the proners and to stop him running back to his lair , which is in the middle of the water by the way, , Its up to you if you want to make walls I finds it's best just to kick his ass all over the place :). don't forget to get resperate on.
Because he has so many hits it pays to find the lair pile and IH it , you don't want to do this guy twice
When you kill him there is a egg that ties that you can take to Malcom and trade for Full plate , also a good lair for rings and pots , so make sure you search the lair pile
Mama Red —
OK this nasty Dragon is located in the fate pools you go into the fate pools but where the door it that is the start of the harpies and such blow a hole in the was just below the door , you will see a hole in the floor , jumping down this will put you right on top of her lair pile.
You will need to have a bit more fire prot than on a normal red but not much more. She can prone for 500 but normally hits for 250 -350. She has a bucket load of hits and takes a while to knock down
The best tactic I have seen so far is just raw proning stick power , take a big group and keep her proned all over the place , take 2 healers for the big hits.
When you kill her you will get a pair of haste boots and a fire ammy and the best thing if you tan her you get some excellent armor.
Up to the nw then around the corner you will find a normal RD and some steps going up ,,, this is the way to bresh , its not very nice at all its like n-7 or a bit harder , so don't go for a walk for fun.
Slith —-
One note when you go don take to many , u all have to be able to stand on one hex if you are going to MT down there
You will need to wear you best PSI cutters, so Large yeti and 2 SER's if you have them , and take silver weapons or you wont be much help. Dont wear dancers or you may dance out of the lair into the minos line of fire.
when you get to the safe spot ( see hunt pick ) get all of your prots on and above all dont move off this spot untill ready to hunt , there are 2 Minogaurds with mini raxes in the rooms with windows to the west and east.
We have a plan to this we get the party ready and then count down 1-5 on 3 the zerked up Barbs jump in then on 5 all others jump in the lair.
You will need the following prots if you can , Antistun, PSI mirror, ES, ABS and then he will still paralyse you if he wants to :(
Ok now him , He has 6 eyes and you have to kill each one ( so you have to kill him 6 times !! ). He stuns and paralyses as well as nasty PSI attacks about 125 from each eye and can target multiple targets. Try to keep him proned as much as possible so he cant get hits in. Best bet is to have a PWH healer with you.
When he dies you will get a key ( to the trader ) his body (to tan for an eye, then trade this for a staff ) and a amber gem to trade for the robe.
NEW INFO - Some new info has come to light ,, He will also Deplete you if you cast PSI at him , and he has been eating large amounts of skill of players 8% form a skill 21 healer is a real blow so look out for that.
Also when he is pumped up he can stun past a skill 21 heals Antistun,, nasty nasty stuff
Vamps —
These guys live to the west of Freore in the same complex and the Freore Mino, You go in the secret door on the east side of the building and then go up the steps to the NW , there are big zoos of wraiths, harpies and skellies like on km-2 here so be careful if you cant handle them
Right, killing the vamps, Well Best thing to do is to get a PWS (new note Healers can no longer chain stun) healer to come with you and take lots of zaps , if you can keep them stunned you will be ok , they hide very well so the idea is to not prone them all over the place so try to not use proners if you can, I think the weapon has to glow to hit them as well , may even need to be silver glowing I am not sure , I used a griffy sword.
Apart from the Big healer you will want someone with lots of XP to bait them, pref. a pally as they can parry them. NOTE , they suck xp and skill so be prepared for this.
Now they have not hit me yet so I will fill in the rest as and when I get some info on how hard they hit , I can tell u they suck about 150 - 200 k xp per time
When you kill them u get a Vamp heart on each one , these u can trade for the Grips on the top of the DT ( see notes )
Mino King —-
This is one long fight so be prepared to take some time out of your day for this guy. He lives down the hole on the middle of KM-4 or -3 in a big room his lair pile is in the middle of the south wall.
He has some form of ES and this is what makes it such a long fight , and like all other minos you need silver to hit him, He uses a Raxe so he can throw this so standing at the back will not make you that safe, he hit me for about 100 on avg and 400 for a prone, at skill 17 he did not get past my parry very often though.
I guess if I had to say anything I would say take as many sticks with silver weapons as you can to speed this up apart from that its not too hard.
You get a raxe off him when he dies and you can trade this for a attack sash or just use it its a good weapon.
Breshard –
This guy is the healer if the four so look our for healer type spells cast at you and on him. He will cast stun and PSI crush and antistun on himself as well as autoheal.
Because of these spells you will need a Mentalist big enough to deplete him ( bigger than skill 17) to take the spells off him or he will just keep on healing when he gets low.
Other than that take as many proning sticks of skill 15 min 18 if you can to keep him busy or he will throw his stiletto at you for about 250 - 400 damage. If you have a look in the action shots you will see how many EDGE we took to kill him in about 10 mins, he doesn't have a truck load of hits but you have to get that deplete going or you are stuffed.
He also sucks stats on some hits so be prepared to be upset after the hunt :(
He lives up the steps from the mama lair the up some more steps and through a wall ,,, his lair is in the room to the right after the first door , get in here and close the door as the NPC's down here are very mean as well.
All said and done its a pretty nasty hunt and only for high level crits so don't go drop a DP in here or its pretty well gone.
Chipuda —-
Man I thought Breshard was nasty this guy really is mean.
He lives out the north gate of Freore and then west past some secret caves and up some steps. (By the time you find him you should be big enough to run away)
This is what we know so far ;
He is a Mentalist so he casts all sorts of nasty spells, so far we know he will cast Dark, Espear, Acid breath and shockwave. He also hits with his staff ,, when he does that you lose 1 or 2 permanent hits so if you are over max that's not nice.
He has a pool in the corner of the lair that will give a limited number of zaps when you drink from it.
A skill 21 Heal with 2 healer staffs can stun him most of the time if he is not pumped up. If one of you dies you are in trouble (new note Healers can no longer chain stun)
If you can kill him you will get his staff ( “ Chipper Staff ” ) SD scales and a uzi, so not a bad haul really.
That's about it not much info yet but as we kill him more I will fill you in.
Erodian -
Well I was not there so I don't have much info but I hear he hides allot and is a pain in the but to kill , he lives in evil Nork and carries a kick ass xbow.
