Dragon Necropolis

Dragon Necropolis Guide

Dragon Necropolis is one of the densest scripted Velious zones. The audit shows a Jaled Dar timed event, Spider Tamer ritual, rat trap events, dragon constructs, Gorathrix, The Big Cheese, The Goomeninominon, and Zlandicar.

Access

Western Wastes grants Dragon Necropolis access through the Dragon Trinket/event chain. The classic script path also uses Jaled Dar and Sleeper-related key items.

Jaled Dar Event

Gilthanas Norrathis handles the Jaled Dar event.

Hand him Jaled Dar's Tomb Key. He returns the key and marks you for the event. Hail him afterward and say READY.

The event spawns Jaled Dar. Once Jaled Dar dies, the controller starts a 5 minute spider phase:

• You must kill 40 spiders after Jaled Dar is defeated.
• The event warns at remaining time checkpoints.
• If the timer expires, the event ends and you must wait for cooldown.
• If the spider target is met, Queen Raltaas is reached through the controller chain.

Spider Tamer Ritual

1. Spider Tamer Grishnak accepts four Pristine Phase Spider Carapace. Once flagged, hail and say READY to start the ritual.

The ritual spawns three dragon constructs in huts:

• a_dragon_construct_123015
• a_dragon_construct_1798
• a_dragon_construct_1797

Each construct can spawn Gorathrix, the Infernal on death.

Rat Trap Events

There are two trap scripts:

• [1] handed to a_rat_trap enables a small trap event with random NPC spawns.
• The Big Cheese handed to a_big_rat_trap enables the Big Cheese event.

The Big Cheese has a 30 second lightning attack timer, HP events, and on death spawns the follow-up NPC.

Major Bosses

The Goomeninominon has HP events, a 50 second spell timer, and a 45 second life drain. It is not safe to ignore the ticking damage.

Zlandicar has level checks, a 10 second life drain, HP events, and a ranged immunity transition at 50%. The script has additional behavior for higher-level challengers, so expect this fight to punish shortcuts.

a_frost_assassin pauses and restarts the controller cycle through signals. If it is active, the regular cycle behavior changes until it dies.

Key Part Chain

Dragon Necropolis contains the late key-piece set:

• Part of a key - Gorathrix, the Infernal.
• Part of a key - Queen Raltaas.
• Part of a key - The Goomeninominon.
• Part of a key - The Big Cheese.
• Part of a key - Zlandicar.

These combine in the Tier Upgrade Kit into Bone Finger Key.

Other Scripted NPCs

• Neb accepts Paebala/Chetari items and rewards Neb's Warbone and Jaled Dar's Tomb Key.
• Jaled Dar's shade accepts Sleeper talisman items and can reward Sleeper's Key.
• #an Odd Looking Spider accepts [2] and spawns #Stiggles Cogswin.
• Nests spawn swarming beetles; piles of bones spawn dragon constructs.

Practical Route

Do Gilthanas/Jaled Dar only when ready for the 5 minute spider kill check. Use Spider Tamer Grishnak for the construct/Gorathrix path. Keep every key part until the Bone Finger Key combine is finished. Zlandicar and Goomeninominon both have ticking damage mechanics, so bring sustain and avoid lazy ranged-only tactics.
