Shar Vahl, Divided - Mean Streets


Zone & Instance Info

Gather Zone: Shar Vahl, Divided

Flag & Key Requirements

Zone Flag: None
Event Key: None
Group Mission: None
Event Flags: None
 
* Minimum to be Piggy/85'/pushed into raid: No requirement


Brief Event Overview

Stage 1:

At fixed locations throughout the zone are three Jakarashev Illusions and one real Jakarashev.

All four Jakarashevs must be engaged or event will reset.

Each Jakarashev is accompanied by three thug adds.

Hot spot damage auras appear on the ground during event.

Tiger adds spawn at set Jakarashev HP percentages of real Jakarashev, not the fakes.

Event advances to 2nd stage once Jakarashevs are killed only the real remains.


Stage 2:

Hot spot damage auras still in play.

Flickering Illusion adds spawn.

At fixed locations, Jakarashev spawns Illusion adds at HP: 35%, 20%, 10%.



Strategy

Stage 1:

Raid split four ways; two groups at each location and remaining float group helps with fake Jakarashevs.

Thug adds bane killed with slow (Bard AE slow and proc slow works).

Do not DPS real Jakarashev until fake Jakarashev are dead.  Real Jak spawns tiger adds at HP intervals; fake Jaks do not.

When Jaks swap places, STOP DPS until real Jak location is called.  Trigger will indicate when swap occurs.

Kill Tiger adds in your area.  Tigers are mezzable.

Move out of hot spots that appear on ground.


Stage 2: Illusion adds

Offtank Flickering Illusions until they despawn.

Illusion adds spawn at fixed locations when Jakarashev reaches HP: 35%, 20%, 10%.

At Jakarashev HP: 40%, 25%, 15% - Groups move back to your assigned locations to be there before Illusion adds spawn.

Start Event

Event is triggered by keyword, speaking with a Kar`Zok maniac in west room.



Achievements:

- Mad Emperor: Golems Apace
-- Kill each golem before the next one activates.

- Mad Emperor: Mother and Son
-- Defeat Rile and Drusella within 60 seconds of each other.

- Mad Emperor: Everything for Last
-- Don't kill any of the golems until all of them are activated



Lore:

[Thu Mar 31 22:55:58 2022] A Kar`Zok maniac says, 'I can never die. Mine is a destiny of empire! We shall rise again! Norrath will once again chant my name! But first, I must satisfy my revenge.'
[Thu Mar 31 22:56:03 2022] A Kar`Zok maniac says, 'Scream, you pathetic creature. You betrayed me! I must admit that I was a fool to let you, to fall for your plea to save our son at my own expense. In the end power holds the truth and my power is the strength of empires!'
[Thu Mar 31 22:56:03 2022] Inarticulate screams come from the glowing flask. Even without understanding the words, you can understand the pain that scream represents. Hearing those sounds is horrific. It is hard to imagine how feeling their cause must feel.
[Thu Mar 31 22:56:08 2022] A Kar`Zok maniac says, 'Good! Suffer!' The Kar'Zok focuses closely on the bottle, 'You betrayed me and would have cast me away. And I must admit that you would have succeeded if it were not for our son's first-hatched. It was Atrebe that gave me this body even as you stole mine for our worthless hatchling.'
[Thu Mar 31 22:56:08 2022] The horrific screaming from the flask continues.
[Thu Mar 31 22:56:13 2022] A Kar`Zok maniac says, 'I follow no one.'
[Thu Mar 31 22:56:13 2022] A Kar`Zok maniac says, 'I have been born, reborn, and recreated, and every time I have been Emperor, Emperor Venril Sathir! I have tolerated your interruption long enough. Begone!' There is a frighteningly unhinged look on the creature's face. 'Stay and I will submit your spirit to the same pain as my treacherous wife and useless son! But you are not the only one that needs to be punished. These soft-skinned creatures have been at the heart of all that has gone wrong with my empire and it is time to make them suffer as well!'
[Thu Mar 31 22:56:18 2022] Venril Sathir roars with laughter, shaking the walls and calling forth wailing spirits to destroy his foes.
[Thu Mar 31 22:56:18 2022] Powerful magic engulfs the massive sarnak. It morphs in an obviously painful manner, taking on a familiar shape.
