Celestius - ML 10
This information provided by Mevi of Guinevere, and filled in with comments from others.
Celestius - the heavenly body of sky and gateway to the stars. Beyond
the greatest of the achivements of the Atlanteans, the sky, it
stretches into the heavens themselves. The cyclops guarded this place,
and only the gods may have entered.

There are 5 main mobs.
You kill the mobs that are summoned and upon killing the killing final
creature you receive a message that you have now qualified for another
ML. Returning to the arbiter he tells you that you've
completed the hidden last trial and will give you your ml10
ability. Feb 11

Getting inside Celestius
Very Important, It Is Believed That:
Apparently, the portal will stay in one location for 24 Real Life hours, disappearing by game-day and reappearing by game-night.
Essentially, in the ocean zones, there is a chance for it to spawn on any of the islands in said zones.
This has been tested, but not thoroughly. Mar 24 2004

btw, careful with the portals if you get them to pop. Since we
accidentally killed it the place hasn't respawned for us. Feb 9
- Sultar
Do you have to be ML 9 to even be able to see the portal?
No, you just can't enter
And once the portal appears is it like any other portal that you walk
in to? Or do you have to snap your fingers and click your heels
together three times?
You walk in and it casts a spell on you if you're ml9
Am I correct when I gather that there are more than 1 place that these
portals can appear? Have they appeared in any place consistantly and
are there more locations verified aside from the Hesperos loc?
There is more than one place where the portal spawns.
Walk
close to it and it will suck you in if you are ML 9. It stayed in the same
spot for at least 2 game nights but you can only see it during the
night. You can hear it during the day. (From a message in broadcast I
believe)
Enter it and it takes you to the inaccessible island in the ML 9
zone. Walk up the steps and you port to the spinning space station from
the pix. You get lightly nuked if you stay by the portal so just head away
from it. Sagittarious was waiting for us.

Tehthu and Nature's Fury on Bedevere has offered the following insight into the Celestius encounters
Sagittarius
Killed Sagittarius
Not entirely difficult, used 9 people
We had about 50 people for
the raid. He went down pretty quickly. With him, there was a yellow con “Sagittarius’
Bow.” We had casters drop the Bow as soon as the fight started, so I don’t
know what exactly it does. Mar 13 2004
- Dominussecuris
Also, as far as spells are concerned, DoTs landed on Sagittarius
occasionally and for pretty heavy damage as reported by both Gazz and
Ailionora. Think he might have a couple seconds of vulnerability every
minute or something, or maybe just pure luck, but I definitely saw the
ment mana DoT land at least once during the fight.
Also, storms don't seem to affect Sagittarius. Feb 10
- Mavnas
Summons orange-purple con "bows" that have a tendancy to blast heat
DD's for a large amount of damage on anyone that aggros them, but
rarely over 1000, and only one or two times. Mar 24 2004

Scorpius
Picture of Scorpius, another picture
After
killing Sagittarius, a white portal appeared in the middle of the
zone. After about three to five minutes, the portal disappeared
and Scorpius
appeared. Scorpius himself was not much of a problem. Scorpius’
Plague was a nightmare. It’s a disease, dot, and fairly serious
str/con debuff that dropped my 300+ str and con down to 90.
People infected withthe plague spread it to nearby people. After
Scorpius died and dropped coins, we spent another half hour trying to
deal with the plague. We tried zoning out, but the plague
returned when we zoned back in.
The spam given by the plague is “So-and-so coughs and sputters,
spreading the plague to <name>“ Even after most people were cured
and the few infected people were isolated, the plague still gives the
spreading spam, except with no name listed as the spreader. This
does not cause the infection. Eventually, we were able to isolate
one person with the plague. The poor shaman spent the rest of the raid
summoning power fonts and keeping himself healed. Mar 13

- Dominussecuris
Your biggest problem here is the plague - concentrate on taking him
down hard and fast. Pets all spread the plague. (includes petspam, from
either theurg or animist) After being cured, the little flag that
declares you as a valid "spreader" of the disease doesn't set for a few
seconds. So after you cure the disease, there's still a risk of
spreading it for a few seconds before you're completely okay. Ordering
one healer in every group to spam ML1 perfector for a few minutes after
Scorp is down should cover you, though. Mar 24 2004

Centaurus
While we were dealing with the plague, Centaurus spawned in.
Roughly every five to six minutes, he turns into his mortal form, which
has different names. He’ll be in mortal form for about 10
seconds. During the fight, he’ll drop Cracked Vials of Poison
randomly, and sometimes when he kills a player. These Vials can
be used when he is in mortal form to take away 10% of his
HP. When we started in on him, he had him down to about 30%
before he went mortal. Three people used Vials, but apparently it
takes real damage to finish him off. Like Scorpius, he dropped a
bag of coins. Mar 13 2004
- Dominussecuris
Here is a screenie of Centaurus in his mortal form, named Cheiron. Durring
fighting him he will drop a vial on the ground. We have seen him drop more
than one on random occasions. The Vile is used when he is in Mortal form
ONLY and it will do Consiterable dmg to him, However the drawback is that he
is only in this for for a few seconds.
He hits rather hard, to Fast to Kite - Has a heavfty PBAE that
Nuked me anywhere between 200-400.
Feb 14
- Kya Darkwhisper
If you have enough people (40+) you can flat-out kill him and not have
to worry about any fancy stuff. Think Cetus: after a certain amount of
time, wierd things start happening. We didn't encounter any wierd stuff
with our 47-person raid, just mowed him down. Most of our worries were
from the (hah hah hah) 250-350 pbae DD he casted on occasion. (think
once every 15-20 seconds at worst) Mar 24 2004

Leo
We didn’t see a portalfor Leo;
he just appeared on the opposite side of the area from where we
were. He uses an AE stun spell, along with “Leo’s Roar” which
causes fumbles. He runs faster than sprint speed across the
encounter area. Fairly often, he will go to one side and split
into four Leo’s Pride mobs. These are immune to damage, and deal a
thousand damage a hit. We seemed to get stuck around 15% hp, but
eventually we killed him and got a bag of coins. Mar 13
2004
- Dominussecuris
Leo's Ability #1: The Roar: pbae debuff lasting 30 seconds that causes a 50% chance to fumble.
Leo's Ability #2: The Stun: chance to 15-sec stun on whoever has aggro
Leo's Ability #3: The Swipe: chance to hit someone for 50% health, fling pretty far up in the air, tends to hurt when you land.
Leo's Ability #4: The Pride: not 100% sure on this, but the general
feel is that what happens is for about 15-30 seconds is that he'll run
off to one side of Celetius, split into 4-6 purples that all hit for
800-1500 damage (but watch out when they crit) and apparently poof back
into the one you can actually damage after a certain amount of
time. Mar 24 2004
- Matipzieu
Hes not al together to Hard, Nothign lots of Stuns and Snares cant
fix. He likes to Split, Personally a Fun fight IMO.
Leo's special attack.. he flings you
to the sky and you take 50% fall dmg sometimes a little more when landing.
Feb 14
- Kya Darkwhisper
he split sooooo much. i think the leo fight alone took us a good 45
mins. during the period where he wasnt chain roaring and splitting we
were doing massive dmg. Feb 16

Draco
Pictures of Draco, the final mob
Battle with Draco
Battle
After another portal appeared, Draco spawned. He PBAEs, and
summons Black Holes. These Black Holes pull nearby people to them and
AEs them. He also summons five to ten Ladon’s Minions at
different points. These con orange and are slightly vulnerable to
energy damage. They appear to be smaller versions of Sagittarius,
Leo, Centaurus, and Scorpius. When I had the highest-level heat,
cold, and matter buffs up, the damage from the Minions was
halved. After about 45 minutes, we managed to kill Draco and
received leather BP and legs and chain BP and legs. He also dropped
five Stars of Destiny. Mar 13 2004
- Dominussecuris
Not a whole lot to this one, just take him down. He'll occasionally
pbae for a small amount of damage (200-400 at worst) then every about
2-8 minutes spawn 3-6 orange adds. These adds (Ladon's Minions) do
elemental-based damage, not physical, so resists help out a lot with
them. They don't hit for very hard, and have relatively few hit points.
(ie don't worry too much about them, just send a few tanks to smack 'em
around, and you're fine.)
Doing anything and everything you can to lower Draco's AF will do a lot for you.
Will melee hit for 500-900 and critical hits often. Swings fairly fast. Mar 24 2004
- Matipzieu
Before my realms successful ML10 run on Friday. I had fought Draco
3 to 4 times. And each time it was like attacking an elephant with
plastic spoons. On one attempt we had spent well over an hour and got
him down to around 40%.
On Friday, right from the get go we knew something was
different...no on wanted to say anything, but Draco's health was
actually noticeably dropping, people were hitting for more than 1 + 1
(DA). With virtually the same tactics Draco behaved and died. I don't
know what it is.. whether there is a small varience in his spawn
level... and based on that you either are getting a 2 hour fight or a
10 minute fight, but I had no explanation when it happened. Just
relief it was over. Feb 15

Khail Wayland
Hits VERY hard - Double hit me for over 700 a few times. He does
have a AE wich I havent noticed is triggered off anything in particular just
quite random. He Srops a Tooth Wich also cant see any real trigger for it,
Seems random, The tooth Spawns Helpers, Wich used to be Yellow but Now are
a Little harder Orange con. Gathering them up and PBAE works well.
- Mevi
Upon completion we got the Message we have completed the Draco Quest and to
visit the arbitor tor aise.

- Kya Darkwhisper
After a failed attempt at the final encounter, Ladon's minions will properly reset.
We have made a change to Draco that will prevent him from despawning during combat.
