thehole 1.0 - Master Yael  

Monster
Screenshot

Uploaded July 24th, 2007

Extinct

Master Yael is found at the very bottom of "The Hole", the large pit which runs through the zone The Hole.

Master Yael has the inate ability to Death Touch, which will recycle every 30 seconds during a fight with him. For this reason, its recommended to have more than 6 people there to talk to him.

He does not typically use his deathtouch on people who aren't fighting him, though there has been the odd report of people getting hit with it while near the enterance.

He also has an agent of change for him that spawns in Paineel between Toxx and the elevator down to the city.

Please someone tell me that the piece of rock that Yael used to drop can be found elsewhere... This is the only piece I need and was just waiting till our rangers needed to go to The Hole for their epics. Now this?!!!

Ore dropped off one of the gargoyle guards next to the Guardian tonite when we killed them.

Yep. After the revamp, whole zone is changed. Nearly all the elementals are dead, and so is Yael. Some new erudite named The Protector of the Ruins tells the story of how he created an army of magical constructs and laid waste to Yael's forces, then after Yael killed what used to be Nortlav the Scalekeeper, the Protector went into a rage and created the ultimate construct, named Guardian of the Seal, and set it loose on Master Yael, who fell quite easily. Now Guardian of the Seal and his two gargoyle buddies will kill anyone who touches the door to Underfoot, but are initially non-agro and con indifferent.

Ugh! This guy requires a kamakazi squad! When we came to the actual Hole itself where he guards the door, he looks like a toiler or a small earth elemental. We tried to pull the wandering mob in the area and every time the puller was popped with Death Touch! Once one was down we were able to grab the local mob but another popped in it's place. I know for a fact the local mob wasn't Yeal because I was on of the pullers. If you go for this mob, go straight for him and loose the toon, I suggest some low level toons for the kamakazi runs, have one person to count to 20 and spam to back off and let the next low level take one for the team, then beat and retry.

BTW some folks have posted DT like it was harm touch or something - hahaha DT is Death Touch! It doesn't matter how many hit points you have! I had nearly 5000 and when I sot an arrow at the wandering mob I was way out of casting range to Yael and blam I was down as soon the arrow hit marked on my screen.
Mage Charm ?
# Aug 07 2003 at 6:38 AM Rating: Decent
Have any mages tried the AA Ele charm on him ? Was just wondering if it would work on him or not - Running thru the hole having him DT everything could make for a bit of fun - althoughbt the xp would probably suck at that lvl - was just curious if it could be done. May have to get the AA and try it myself someday.

Changes
# Jun 11 2003 at 1:55 PM Rating: Default
SoE made a change to what happens to you when you are zoning. You ever notice that now even if you walk into a zone line backwards you zone in facing away from the zoneline...well this fix while convient in some cases made it impossible to land in the water if you jump (with lev even) from Paineel. Because when you zone...no matter where you zone in from, you will always appear in the center off the room on the way down. And there is no way to move yourself far enough over to get to the water before you hit the ground.
This Guy likes to hide
# May 24 2003 at 1:55 AM Rating: Default
been to the Hole 4 times now and have never seen him up. We just killed the keeper for pally epic and he wasn't up. So i think this guy likes to stay hidden.

Not doable.. Death touch will kill you (hence the name)
theory
# May 21 2003 at 7:21 AM Rating: Default
Something i am wondering.... if you have a 2 shammies, 2 magi, 2 BL. I.E. all pet classes. If they turn there pets onto him and don't pull the arrgo to them selves keep it on there pets. Can they take him out??? If he DT he will be doing it to a pet so that person just recasts the pet and send it back in? With 6 pets on him he should not have a chance to get to the players....

it is just a thought and am wondering if it will work??
RE: theory
# May 22 2003 at 1:33 PM Rating: Good
DTs don't work like HTs. DT will hit the owner of the pet not the pet.
Spawn time
# May 19 2003 at 5:43 PM Rating: Decent
Can anyone confirm the spawn time? Is it for sure a 7 day? Or is it less? Anyone?

Infiltrating the Hole

Well, after some trial and error, I can outline a relatively easy way to get a force into close proximity to the epic mobs that spawn deep within the Hole without having to clear through the city (which is a complete pain in the ****** This method does work while Yael is up.

First, you need to powerlevel a brell cleric to level 14. The cleric needs the three spells divine aura, invis to undead, and reanimation, if you want to go totally barebones.

Get the cleric to paineel, bind him right at the pit that drops you into the hole. Have the cleric divine aura and dive in, he'll land in the middle of a bunch of elementals, golems, flighty fiends, and master yael (if he's up). All these mobs should ignore you since you're a brell worshiper. Run up the passage that leads to the castle full of undead and epic mobs. ITU so none of the undead will aggro, run past the entrance to the castle, around the corner, and you'll be on a ledge overlooking master yael's spawn. Park the cleric here, we'll come to him later.

Next, you'll need to have a 55+ mage in your raid party. have everyone in the raid party zone into the hole, no need to fight the entrance mobs, just sit around. Have someone duel the mage to kill him without exp loss. Now, take a level 1 brell worshiping halfling rogue, use sneak/hide and drag the mage's corpse all the way down through the city and to the spot where the level 14 cleric is parked. Have the cleric reanimate the mage, get the mage grouped with the halfling rogue, have the rogue sneak back to the entrance, or even easier make sure he's bound right outside the Hole entrance in Paineel and just have him run up to a mob and ask it for a free port to bind, any way you do it, have him in the entrance to the zone so he can invite people for Call of the Hero. CotH your entire raid party into position, assemble your groups, and presto! You're right near all the epic mobs, you're really close to master yael, and you didn't have to kill a thing. In the event that you don't have a mage that can cast Call of the Hero, it is possible to simply corpse your entire raid party and drag all their corpses through the zone. In this situation, I strongly reccomend that each person at the raid bring their own level 1 halfling rogue, because I had to drag five corpses through the Hole last night and it was not only extremely difficult (ended up making a ton of macro keys to target and summon corpses) but it also took about an hour and twenty minutes.

Hope this helps, and good luck.
(note: copies of this post will be placed in the discussion of the important epic mobs in the bestiary section, as well as under the main Hole strategy discussion. I'm not trying to spam, just trying to make it so anyone looking for info on their epic mob can find this strategy quickly and easily)
Cleric's

I helped a warrior in my guild take Yael down earlier today. I made two conclusions.

1) His DPS is likened to that of a large rat.

2) It's easier to rez the people who are DTed then to cast heal spells at all.

My advice would be to cast celestial heal on anyone who has Yael's attention, and use the rest of your mana to heal people after you rez them mid-fight.

Of course this is from a cleric with an epic... so if you don't have it, you may want to just cast celestial heals after they are rezzed. No joke, his DPS is **** poor, a level 30 wizzy can tank him long enough for his DT to kill him, =/.
Druid tracking
# Dec 16 2002 at 3:54 PM Rating: Decent
Where would a druid have to be to track Yael? If I have to kill things and invis all the way to the spot, thats ok. Any info would help
RE: Druid tracking
# Dec 23 2002 at 12:06 AM Rating: Decent
Can't invis in the hole, all see invis. Dunno where your spot would be thoughm I'm guessin you need a group and kill down a ways.

Or just make a level 1 halfling rogue and park him at Yael like everyone else :).
