There are holes in Aerus City, Have seen people fall off before... - Toria
Be careful of holes on the rocky edges where the bridges connect to the
islands. Also, be very careful close to the 9.5 encounter. If you setup
on the rim of the island you can get dangerously close to falling off and
then you need to work your way up by the bridge hole. Stay on the walkway
when possible on your way to the generators in 9.10. I hit a hole half way
down to a generator and ended up one island away from the zone in
area. /em shakes fist at the quality control team. Feb 2

Players who are level 40 and higher, and have completed Master Level 8,
will now be able to get credit for successfully completing any Master
Level 9 encounter in the City of Aerus. Previously, players had to be
level 50 to receive credit for these encounters. (from Mar 11 2004 hot fix)
Recommended Raid Order
ML9 is housed inside beautiful Aerus City. There's only one group
trial... and it's just best to do it with the zerg since it is unlikely
your ML9 raid will be full of first-timers as it is ML8 minimum
requirement to zone in. The mob also sometimes goes into uber
mode and chain heals for a while too... /cheer Mythic
Recommended ML order: 9.1 Kyros 9.5 Nelos 9.6 Katri 9.2 Lachlen 9.3 Evzen 9.7 Iaculi 9.8 Phoenix's Guardians 9.4 Kings' Likenesses 9.9 Neola will spawn after you kill a bunch of
avriel, she'll broadcast when she does so be ready for her when you see
that broadcast 9.10 Phoenix Jan 24

Comments on Solo, Grouped, or Battlegrouped: Hibernia: This entire master level has been done with 1 group, it was hibs, they had at least one animist.
Albs did this ML with 1 group + a bot, so 9 people. (We got this
tonight with 1 group of albs + 1 bot. 4 clerics total, theurg, cab,
inf, arms, merc. - Shadarlogoth)
Albion: 9.1-9.9 have been done with 1 fg, pre-power sphere nerf. Group make up
generally was 2-3 clerics, a theurgist, a cabalist, a paladin, an inf,
a merc, an arms... though it varied a bit. One cleric had smite and MW3
and I (spirit cabalist) had MW3. Jan 9 - Alcara Argenta
Midgard: On Mid-Bors we completed ML 9.1-9.9 with just one group. We had no
special class make-up, just used those that could enter Aerus City
(i.e. no casters, but we did have a SB and a Hunter which by many are
considered non-PvE friendly classes). By the time the raid ended we
had about 50 drops to divide up.
Trial 1 - Wings of Aerus
Long ago Kyros demonstrated himself to be the ultimate warrior
serving many different roles in combat, would you dare challenge him?
This is a battlegroup encounter.
Comments on Solo, Grouped, or Battlegrouped:

Druid bot [out of group, was just there for res incase and buffs]
MW2 enchanter - stun, nuke down...if you dont keel him in 8s, run away
a tad, stun, and continue. stun doesnt last as long, but it works. Jan 24
When he morphs into an enchanter or spiritmaster, be careful. The enchanter PBAE'd me for 1400 with 22% energy resist :)
He doesnt seem to PBAE when he becomes a wizard, and I havent seen him in eldritch. Jan 28
- Mevi
Kyros is right north of the entrance. He will morph to various classes
across the realms and take on their abilities. Once we saw him display
messages about "growing in power" and he became very difficult to kill.
Usually though the theurg tosses some pets at him and becomes easy to
hit and goes down in less than a minute. Jan 9

Fairly straight forward. From Kyros, head west, past Nelos, then North.
Take east at first intersection, head left and follow that path. Then
head east more. Kill all the red Weary Explorers, then talk to Lachlen
and kill him. Straight-forward. This is the group encounter. Jan 9

ML9.2 Boss requires all clerics to stay at range, if your killing him
on his spawn stand directly infront of him at around 1000 range with a
powerfont below you. Dont use healfields, paladin healchants or
spreadheals as these tend to heal it. Apr 8 2004
It seams more like he will insta heal based on any close range heals,
dont use paladin heal chants, dont use heal fields - keep your casters
and especialy healers WELL back, and he generaly drops pretty
quickly. Mar 29 2004
- Tears and TLW
he heals about 50 times and then quits healing.
When we did him, we just got on him and knew it was gonna be about a 1 hour fight.. nothin fancy..
Sure enough he healed and healed and healed.. then all of the sudden
stopped healing.. and was killed. Somehow I think he has a set number
of times he will heal and then he will stop. Jan 21
- Aram
there is no way to stop his chain healing, hes suppos to do that,
you have to kill him within like 1min, if you dont then he chain heals
and is in god mode. the only way to do this is to have 2 MW3 casters,
or 2 theurgs/aniamists spaming pets. Jan 21

Long ago Evzen unified three warring territories after each territorys
warlord was slain then ruled the combined landsd with an iron fist!
This is a battlegroup encounter.
Strategy:
Due south of Lachlen. Aggro the SW statue by runnin g near it, then
kill it. Then put a rezzer somewhere safe and kill the main mob inside
(Lethos I think). Sometimes the other three statues will pop a 2400 AE
DD on you, so spread out and have rezzes ready. They will activate and
kill them to finish trial. Again, power sphere and theurgist petspam
was used to take make the mobs easier to hit. Note: This encounter
drops a TON of loot. Jan 9
- Alcara Argenta
Just before the main statue dies (the one inside the ruins) send 3
people to each of the statues around the ruins to interupt them before
they cast there ae nukes which can hit for 3000+ damage. Pull the 3
statues back to the centre ruins and kill them there, they dont hit for
much when there. Apr 8 2004
Tips:
Repopped like 6 times in under 5 minutes each time. Jan 31

I was running a ML9 raid last night and when we got to 9.3, it spawned two of Lethos.

Four kings likenesses are dormant and must be awakened! This is a battlegroup encounter.
Strategy:
Take the south path from entrance, past the snakes, then head left
(south). Eventually you'll come to a path blocked by Chan. That's trial
9.8. Kill Chan to get past him then from chan head right, down to the
Four Kings.
The Tactic.
Summons 4 purple statues to help
him. They hit hard but go down fairly easily, so bring them down attack
him. He'll activate two more reinforcements, kill them first, then kill
him. We tried killing him ignoring the statues but with 1 fg they hurt
too much to do that. I think he's also magic immune.
The Brave
Nothing special, just kill him. He procs a lifetap for like the first
10 seconds of the fight, but it is nothing scary and goes away.
The Terrible
Ok,
once we killed this guy without anything more than an aoe disease. Then
second time he started spawning statues, these statues started spawning
MORE statues and we had 20-30 statues on our hands and wiped. The third
time we killed him I popped MW and we took him down asap. The statues
themselves will fade away in 30-60 seconds, with messages that they
have too many pieces break off.
The Coward
The most fun.
He runs away from you and hides in a nearby house, so you get to chase
him. He also summons little statue healers that aren't too much
trouble. We've killed him ignoring his healers. Jan 9

Tips:
The Tactician is immune to all Magic

Nelos would like to teach you a lesson that you might not survive! This a battlegroup encounter.
Strategy:
Nelos
When you attack him, he summons his statue students from the
two houses around him. This is like a zerg of 8-16 purples that HURT.
Kill him quickly. We've done this two ways: petspam + MW or petspam +
BoF + kiting. Either work. Pbaoe doesn't really do much except get the
pbaoer killed. Jan 9

Trial 6 - Patrolling the City
Centaur patrols led by Katri hinder you from reaching your goal! This is a battlegroup encounter.
Strategy:
Katri was a bitch when we tried it without MW..just kept chain healing.
1 MW'er [MW2, no RP, MCL even...] took them down. We ran into her
again and the other MW3'er [with RP, MCL :p] took them down.
Nonissue with +casting speed. Jan 24
- Mevi
Katri
The most bugged trial in ML9. We've only once seen her with 4
red adds that she supposedly is supposed to 'call for help.' Otherwise
she is in chain healing godmode with her Personal Guard. You can't take
Katri below 87% unless the guard dies first, but the guard and Katri
chain heal each other. The only way we've successfully done this when
the encounter is bugged (i.e. no 4 red adds) is to pop MW on the cleric
and cabalist and stun and nuke and smite the guard down then Katri.
Note: don't pop MW until the guard is ~30% because otherwise you might
get outhealed. This happened to us once and we had to wait 30 more
minutes to get MW up to kill her. CSRs claim this is work ing as
intended, but also have 'escalated it for special review.'
The
time she wasn't bugged (so I'm told, I wasn't there that time), the
guard left and came back with with the 4 red adds and she lost godmode. Jan 9
- Alcara Argenta
Tips:
We have fixed a bug that could cause Katri to become unkillable if her personal guard was killed before reinforcements came.

Only the strongest Iaculi survive as they cannibalize each other. This is a battlegroup encounter.
Strategy:
South path, follow it. You'll see a Pussiant Iaculus. If you don't see
one along with the other snakes, come back again later and it'll have
spawned hopefully. Kill it, and you get credit. Make sure another snake
doesn't get the kill or else you don't get credit. The easiest of all
the encounters. Jan 9

You have not yet proven yourself worthy to the Phoenix's Guardians! This is a battlegroup encounter.
Strategy:
This is Chan. He is a slow nasty melee fight because it is hard to land
anything on him. Petspam + melee or Petspam + MW have been used on him.
Expect to fight 10 minutes with a fg of raw melee.
DO NOT RUN
PAST CHAN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE CREDIT. It'll spawn nasty guardians that
aggro if you log and kill all your friends. They also don't seem to
despawn. We had to get a CSR to get them to despawn because they killed
us on the road to Phoenix because one person without credit tried to
ran past and ... bleh, in short, two hours wasted :P So don't run past! Jan 9 - Alcara Argenta

Neola still guards her sisters well. This is a battlegroup encounter.
Strategy:
Kill avriels. They'll spam about their sisters getting vengence.
Eventually after enough of them, you'll get Neola shouting that this is
enough. Set up spheres and wait for here in an aggro-free place. She
comes with 2 red Avriel Guardians. Kill those first then kill her.
Note: we've seen her go into chain heal god mode once and can't figure
out why, so watch out for this. Usually though she's an easy fight.
Just don't let her catch you while you're fighting something else. Jan 9
- Alcara Argenta
Tips:
Neola is the most annoying trial becuase those stupid
avreils are everywhere, and when you kill enough moving anywhere,

The phoenix is not yet weakend, and still reigns above! This is a battlegroup encounter.
Comments on Solo, Grouped, or Battlegrouped:
This has been
done with 1 group, it was hibs, they had at least one animist.
This has been done by 49 mids. Also done by 21 albs, and by 21
hibs without an animist.
To make the operators stop moving have a stealther setup distract gt
and distract him, he will just hang out at the gt and wont ever move.
Just take 3 infs/sb's/ns's and ur set. Feb 3
- ahamade
You'd need 3 <stealthers>, the generators/operators are VERY far apart. Feb 4
- Maglador
You have to time it right, if you time it right it -usually- works
without a problem. Every once in a while, I ran into the problem where
distract didn't work whatsoever. Basically, I spent an hour or so
locking down an Operator while my group (Consisting of a Reaver,
Warden, and Shaman) chain killed them, keeping one of the 3 generators
down the entire time it took to kill the phoenix, and drop another
generator from 100. During that time, the operator made it half way
towards the generator only once, and most of the time never made it
past the 1/4 mark. Feb 9
- Corrigan_Nagisa On one of our early attempts to take out the Phoenix, the bard who was
with me by the generator accidentily fired off a Zephyr into the birds
circling the generator... Instantly despawning them all. We told the
bards stationed at the other two generators, and they also seemed to be
able to do this with moderate success. I am not sure if it is just
coincidence or what, but after seeing it several times with my own
eyes, it is something that could be fun to play with. Feb 4
-
Khail Wayland I ran a ML9 raid today and took out Phoenix with about 48 people. We
use 12 people per generator operator and had 12 people consisting of
healers, runemasters, and shamans on the Phoenix. GTAE was the primary
method of damage, along with Seer melee. I don't think any Majestic
Will was used, and we had no shadowblades for distraction. Mar 8 2004
- Dominussecuris
3 groups
21 people
Whew...we did it. [tear forms in eye]
Generators: Leave one Ozo alive and the rest dont repop it seems.
Ladders seem to cause targetting problems on the generator. [Educated Guess by Macerdainus of Guinevere]
SNARE HAS No effect on Generator operators
basically we had a light enchanter mw an operator after their gen went
down, stun and nuke it dead as we engaged phoenix to 84%, then we had
the other gens go down, then we just mw'dx it down with 3 pbae
mw. Jan 31
- Mevi
Tips:
Generator Operators should be slightly easier to take down before they reach their destination.
(1.68 patch, Feb 19, 2004)
I experimented with a dozen bows vs uber-chicken (huge + vs magic, heavy
long, etc) and it looks like the legendary weapon does the most damage
(because of the little bit you get off a cold proc). So, bring your
legendary weapons if you have them in the vault. I don't think it matters
much because MW is the way to kill the bird.
Feb 2
- Balise
"Spearo's rear snare didnt work"
I can verify this, the ranger's snare style didn't work either.
"next time we didnt screw around and just opened with stuns"
Same, we parked a shield tank at each gen and just started slamming.
"Just out of curiosity has anyone tryed using rams/siege weps on phoenix/gens."
Rams don't work, you get the same msg you get on the Chimera bridges
with the gen being out of range. We didn't try balistas though. Feb 2

Phoenix is neutral to energy damage. No resists at all. Feb 3
- Olorin
Found out the hard way after respecing to mw3 that phoenix is 100%
resistant to Heat damage...looking back it should have been obvious
based on the mythology surrounding phoenix, but at the time i was less
then pleased to use mw and see 0(-xxx). Jan 21
- Arisi
Tip on generators we found was if they are untargetable you can relog and theyll be targetable Jan 18
- Samadamis
Kill the Phoenix Ozos around the generators,
then melee down the generators. Drop the generators then drop the
phoenix.
Once you drop the generator, the statue Generator
Operator will start moving towards it. Don't let him get to it or else
it will deplete its energy and restart the generator!
Unfortunately,
he instarespawns so you need someone killing him while you take out
the other 2 generators and the pheonix. We were 8 without anyone
capable of soloing or duoing him (as might a perfecter+shroom farm duo
be capable) so we abandoned efforts for the night.
We
theorize that when all three generators are off, the pheonix loses its
insta rebirth capability and is killable. We will try again with more
people. 4fg should do it handily, or even 3fg.
Note: To target the generator, click below the rim. It is a bit hard to target.
Final Edit: Info submitted by Ulfhednar1 from the strategy guide, I quote:
"The 3 generators act as follows:
When all 3 are up, he can't drop below 75%, he casts aoe fireballs when damaged, and has a pbaoe reactive proc.
When 2 are up, he can't drop below 50%, casts weaker aoe fireballs, and has a weaker pbaoe reactive proc.
When 1 is up, he can' drop below 25%, and the fireballs and proc are weaker still.
When all 3 are d
own, he can be killed, there are no fireballs or proc.
When
a generator is destroyed, a Generator Operator NPC will try to repair
it. If killed, he will respawn and move to repair again." Jan 9

Melee all the generators down to 0-1%, then
set a battlemasters in position each out. Have the remaining people go
to the Phoenix. Attack the generators at once, and bring them all down
and attack the Phoenix.
We did this and had about 20 second window will all
generators down. In this time 1) the lights by the Phoenix did not go
out 2) his aoe dd did not stop 3) we saw no broadcasts 4) his damage
shield did not subside 5) he would not go below 84%.
Any thoughts, comments or suggestions?
I've
appealed this and am waiting to speak with a CSR. It's possible things
were ninja-nerfed since Nimue did it to prevent small groups from doing
it, or it is possible we are missing something. Our timing was quite
good, all 3 generators fell within 5 seconds of each other and we had
about a 20 second window in which to attack Phoenix -- it got stuck at
84%, however.

- Alcara Argenta When a generator is broken the light coming out of the crystal should
go out...if not you can't get the Phoenix down past its tiers of health. Jan 11
If you have 1 generator up the Phoenix will insta heal to 28%, 2
generators and it goes up to 56%, 3 generators and it goes up to 84%. Jan 12
