Nice. congratulations.

[DeathCow]

A magma blast, sad.

Btw this makes me think.....spell should be a little more exciting.

[SluTFisHy]

nice kudos. We got cheaped out on our kill. Board lagged for 20 seconds right on portal entry. everyone was pretty much dead when we even got to attack. couldent go back :/

[pentagruel]

You can go back to the lich as many times as you want so long as you dont get his death flag or complete the quest.  You guys are so pathetic, you all ran and grabbed your rewards.  Though I think you are just full of shit, and the reality is that you got your asses kicked, and decided not to try again. 

We killed Oz with 6 people, 0 deaths,  you loosers brought 11 people, and only 6 of you left standing.  I guess thats how you play, bring enough noobs on megamud, and you can kill anything.  I guess you couldnt kill lich, since he drained your stupid asses.

Negative.  One shot only deal on a stock realm.  As you can see below, it does a check for your alignment, value 26 (No higher no lower).  If you pass that it gives you a value of 28 which will block you from getting back into the portal.

Ewww, it definately wasnt this way when Zanth was put in, cause i remember going back to him more than once.  I guess when they changed the island thing.  My mistake.

Yeah it was changed.  Zanthus is now a 1 room no exit area, and it's one shot, do or die thing.  Blame Deathcow.

DAMN YOU DEATHCOW!!!! ???            8)

Zanthus the Lich used to be easier. Instead of being in a room with him when you enter the portal, it used to be a random drop of 5 rooms on an X shaped map, and Zanthus was in the middle. Thus, you could not only move in and out of his room, but you could also keep characters in there to kill him again the next day, claiming the second and last skull capped staff.

Deathcow soloed Zanthus the Lich by timing rounds with the sunburst necklace's use spell if I remember correctly. After he posted this cap on Metro's forums, they drastically changed the entire encounter. Instead of Zanthus being spawned on an X, you now were taken into a room with no exits and Zanthus was summoned on you. At this time, they also added some text work to allow you only one chance EVER to kill Zanthus. This is how it remains today. Perhaps we can coax DeathCow to find his cap and post it? It's been awhile :P
