Where can I find the swamp cave and the Shaman, and what damage do these nasties do?

Cheers for any help.

D06 swamp cave and IO3 swamp cave both have shamens.


They do stacking poison damage and the shamen is a summoner bringing forth mobs 70/70 80/80 90/90 and 100/100. All which stack you with poison.

Swamp Cave I_03 (is one of em I think)
60/60 | 70/70 | 80/80 slimworm thingies, 90/90 | 100/100 bats thingies and the 120 shaman and the end of the cave. If it has an end. always get lost in there :(

It helps to set vegetation detail on low (if you don't already) if you can't see the entrances.

Stay in the water when you get in there.

Have Viper King vest so i should be OK. Do they do anything other than posion stacks? (force, fire etc)

Dru Blood
06-04-04, 18:44

Some of the mobs will try and take a chunk out of you if you get too close, too. It's not bad though.

I just dropped myself into the swamp cave. i'm still standing at the start. Where is the exit? Above me?

(I have to logout for the moment.)

If you are there on your own, stay the hell away from the shaman. Every class except APUs can solo the swamp cave but the shaman will kill you if you havent got a PPU with you.

Heavyporker
06-04-04, 20:13
what the hell do you mean, APUs can't solo the swampcaves?

we do perfectly fine in there, you forget we're capable of using poison belts and antidote pills *gasp*

His friends call him 'EEZER and he is the main Geezer!

He's in the Cave with his Boss drum cultivating the rhythm of live :)

Anybody got any Vera's?

Hm..

How do Hybrids fare against the Shaman? And no, I don't mean newbie ones. I mean almost-capped ones. Just looking for data.

The only class I have real touble with there is rifle spy because of the lack of AoE.

It helps a lot against the Shamen. It's still doable without but it's harder, especially when he gets stuck in the walls/doors which he does a lot in the Gravis cave.

Heavyporker
06-04-04, 20:26
oooooh yyes.... you know what, guys, we need to stand up to KK and ask them to deal with the mobs in wall/door thing, that's just piss-poor - that they can attack you without getting hit - that's clearly an exploit! MOBS EXPLOITERS!!! BAN! BAN BAn!!!111oneoneoenelevenhundredeleven

Swamp caves are easily soloable by any class and better exp than chaos caves for sub-classes that can't use aoe. Ergo, I live there. :-)

Heavyporker
06-04-04, 22:18
Actually... I wanna know, how frequently do the Kri'Nakh drugs drop in those caves?


Seems that people are getting slightly more interested in them, and also, i might engage in some "recreational use" with my H-C PE. Not that the guy is gonna go into there himself.

Except it's easier to get teams at the caves and benefit from 3rd party AoE.


@Heavy - the drop rate sucks IME. Even worse than the Chaos Queen.

Heavyporker
06-04-04, 22:28
aw... damn.. okay, thats BAD.

I still have a bad taste in my mouth from trying to get a 3 slot spell off the queenie on my own.

Oh, and KK.. again... thanks for fucking up the flameavalanche! Up the range on it, dammit!

I used to spec poison and as a solo APU with med kits i could solo the whole cave and the shaman

Also, when you get the Shaman, open the door, lure him out into the big open room, and then stay behind the pillars, attack, heal, attack heal, etc.. Thats how I always do when I get in their.

My old tank could take 2 hits from the Shaman (546 HLT) without dying, 3 hits, dead (don't solo the caves like I did)

the shrooms hardly ever drop(about the same drop rate as techs on the chaos queen)

What's the deal with standing in the water? UBER HAX?

joran420
07-04-04, 00:40
the mobs just have a harder time hitting you

Dru Blood
07-04-04, 01:15
aye i did 17 runs with my apu in there and got 2 shrooms off the shaman was disapointed that they drop shit but i was happy with the xp :D

Kenjuten
07-04-04, 01:35
hm..

The drops do indeed sound bad...but aye, the experience matters also.

joran420
07-04-04, 04:03
xp is ALOT less than chaos caves....but it is safer

Kenjuten
07-04-04, 04:08
Would that be because apparently poison sucks? =x

joran420
07-04-04, 04:14
naw its cause no one will jump into the swamp caves looking to PK someone usually

n3m
07-04-04, 12:27
swamp caves arent that popular, so yo uwont get pked in the back or get some nooblet fuckwit with rank 5/8 standing in the barrels
So I get better xp in these caves than I got in the chaos caves, with 3 ppl 2mill per run aint bad

I find Swampies to be very easy.

I'm gonna try and solo one with my spy tonite.

I don't think it willbe a problem. I'll just pack some antidote incase :)

Standard drug reference of its day :)

Sorry for off topic.

Erm yes caves.

Pack a PPU, makes life easier.

Edit: Yes, I'm lazy....

Bugged as nuts, though, what with the rocks.

I mean, sure, nice touch, but far too easy to get stuck. And a bit fatal-prone for me.
