Leveling this Artifact


Strategy:

Talk to Khonorn at loc 60508 37771 Mesothalassa.  He is surrounded by Khonorn’s Cohorts and are all neutral..  Conversation with Khonorn. - Redmeer Dragonsheart  (screen shots from Landis)

1.  Get the five idols of Sobek.  Hunt High preists/priestess in any of the three triton areas in meso (Skyros, Mellos, Naxos). One of the locs for them in Meso is 47k, 17k.  Get the gold, green, black, silver, and red one. Mobs are yellow/oj and usually have 2 bafs with them.

2. Take them to Kohorn at approx loc of 55k, 40k, hes a sobekite type mob, cons purple hopefully neutral to you. Get his half of the broken key.

3.  Deal with Linos.

Text when you talk to Linos before you give him the key.

 Linos pops at all 3 camps.   Does not drop Artifact every time. 

How to get Linos to pop:
Here's the strategy that we've used to find Linos. The story on the scrolls says how to find Linos. It says that the guy was doing a trial that he so frequently does, when (Linos) comes out of nowhere and attacks him. At first we thought that it would be the solo step for ML1, but you can't repeat that once you're done. The next thing we thought of was the thieves step: it's repeatable when you're done, soloable, and it's in Meso. So we tested out the theory, we spawned the thieves, killed them both, and put scouts up at teach of the locations. Within 30 minutes of the death of the thieves, Linos spawned at one of the locations listed. This worked 14/15 times.  Apr 2 2004

Linos Locations:
I've checked all three triton tribe areas, and found a Barnacle Encrusted Chest in each:
Skyros Chest:6.9k x 24k
Naxos Chest: 49.9k 18.5k
Melos Chest: 35.6k x 47.4k    Nov 13
- RandomMBU

(We've predominately seen Linos at 8kx19k spawn in meso.  Mar 20 2004  - Moopes Moores)

Linos did not drop anything except the Barnacle Encrusted Key which opened the Barnacle Encrusted Chest.  When you give him the half of the emerald key, Linos says to you basiscally "Ha ha, tricked you, now I have the contents of the chest. Nya! Go away!". He remains neutral.   Then I attacked him and we killed him. He drops the key and I used it on the chest.  - Kardinal

Minkhat method to killing Linos:
"Minkhat method" works!
I found Linos at the melos location (38086, 44205 - he spawned in front of the medium-sized rock right west from the location). In this area, Minkhat (A croc-man, purple with a lot of oranges with him) often comes by and kills all the melos around the rock (you will be safe at the location provided). He also attacks Linos when he's up. I was not able to take advantage of this, because I attacked when Linos was pretty much dead. Unable to talk to him, but didn't try dropping my key on him. I Hope to encounter this again sometime and try dropping the key during battle, or at least getting his aggro on me befor death.
Minkhat and his minons are able to take Linos out with only some damage delt to minkhat.
I dropped the half key on him when Linos was at 40% health and I started hitting. I got encounter, key and chestpiece.   Jun 10 2004
- Lothire and Siffredo

As a part of the Eirene's Hauberk artifact encounter, Linos will remain up at his current location for a full day after spawning.  (patch notes v1.70 Jun 22 2004)

Tips:

Ok first, we farm these stupid idols for like 2 hours and get them all. Then we turn them in and get our key. We camp Linos for 4+ hours (first time he spawned we didnt have enuff to kill) and we finally get 4 people together. We kill him... and he doesnt even drop the key, it was bugged. Now we hafta go back and do it all over again because the CSR cant help us (riight).  Apr 16 2004
- Zetla

From my scouting i believe that Linos spawns at each site for only 20 mins. (or 8 game hours 0:00-8:00, 8:00-16:00, 16:00-24:00). After his 20 mins he will despawn unless it is within 10 mins of you starting the encounter (per patch notes).

The one time i tracked him. He spawned in skyros, despawned and appeared in naxos, then despawned and appeared in Melos. Then was not at any of the three locs. locs are skyros (approx 8k,18k in the aclove with a pillar). Naxos (approx 50k,20k main fort wanders the corner near the tidal lord). The Melos chest is around 35k, 45k in Meso for Linos spawn.  (Melos loc from Tosalius)

- After taking Khonorn's half of the key, Linos would remain in his powered up state for ten minutes. After ten minutes he returns to normal and will no longer drop the "Barnacle Encrusted Key" or his other potential loot. Now if he is in he powered up he will remain so for ten minutes after the start of each fight that is started while he's powered up. This will ensure that a group who is forced to retreat from him gets a fair second shot at taking him out. (from Nov 26 hot fix)
