Description

Named wurm for bard and magician epics. Placeholder is a high level wurm that cons blue at 60. It will roam some time after spawning, but makes its way back to the spawn spot (-1089, -3781) and stands. There are other blue-con-at-60 wurms that roam nearby, but only one will stop wandering at the spawn point. 6:40 respawn on PH and/or named. Averaged seemed to be around 10-15 PHs per named. Either Nezekezena or Phurzikon can spawn at the spawn point.

Soloing as a Mage

Phurzikon can be soloed by a Magician (54), but it is very challenging. You have to pull him somewhere with less wandering mobs, like the wall East of his spawn point. Engage him with a pet, pull to wall, while your pet fights him back up far enough that you have time to summon a new pet, and when pet is <6% start summoning a new one.

Repeat this process until Phurzikon is getting close to 20% health where he will begin to gate, then relocate to his spawn point. Have pet engage while you nuke him down using Shock of Swords (as he's basically fire immune). Because you will likely get wandering mobs added, have him gate at the wrong time, etc. you should expect to need to make several attempts; bringing a stunner or mana drainer is recommended.
