i'm gonna place my bet that Gwen knew about this and is waiting for us to be turned into little dead bugs

The third screenie makes me think it is a building. The first one looks like a land ridge. There does seem to be fins, but its not clear enough.

Obviously a plesiosaur of some sort: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleiosaur

Probably just an easter egg.

also if you look around the lake there are trees frozen down there as well. The Crystal Desert used to be an ocean, iirc, which would mean that these beasts were sea-going animals. Perhaps in the case of this thing, it, and a large body of water with it, were teleported off to the Far Shiverpeaks. It died and then the entire area froze over. As for t3h ev!l, I dunno. Perhaps it was in proximity to the Margonites and it had the taint of Abaddon, or perhaps it has something to do with the Destroyers. I guess we'll find out next week.

Hmmmm. Anybody find a use for the TNT guy you get by Sifhalla that wants to join you to blow stuff up. I tried blowing up some barrels on the ice by Nessie but nothing happened.

I just thought it was a big turtle. lol

The Dwarf that you can hire for 100 gold and who follows you around with black powder is pretty useful, especially for the Vengeance Against the Stone Summit quest you can get.

Basically, he follows you around (had a little interaction with the Dwarven miners south of his position, but that's about all) and, when you click on him, you get a keg of black powder. Drop it on the floor and then 3 seconds later *BOOM*, all adjacent (possibly nearby) foes take 50 damage - didn't seem affected by armour.

How many times can you do this? Pretty much as fast as you can click on him and drop the keg

I took some blocking stances and ran my Ranger into the thick of the enemy, targetted the Keg Dwarf (who had followed me but is marked as a non-combatant), and then went space bar/f1/space bar/f1/space bar/f1 (rinse and repeat, you know the drill).

After 3 seconds, 50-point explosions go off one after the other. The enemy AI didn't seem to treat it as a DOT threat so didn't run, and just kept on trying to hit me until they died. Master-difficulty quest my shiny metal ass!

Back on topic, that thing is scary big. And probably alive. And unhappy. And, in all likelihood, planning to eat me.

I know its off topic but rent the Keg guy and plant a few Keg's around the avalanche area's. I wont spoil it for you.

Aaahhh! I'm so glad I never looked down...that would have freaked me out. Something about huge creatures underwater gives me the heebiejeebies.

And iirc, the Crystal Desert (and presumably at least part of the adjoining Desolation) used to be covered in water...

All I ever saw was frozen trees, can't believe I missed that

, although I spent most of my time watching the radar for the countless marauding groups of enemies which seemed to enjoy converging on me at the same time

MithranArkanere · Aug 28, 2007, 01:21 AM // 01:21

Well...

It somehow fits in that family.

This one was one of the biggest sea carnivore reptiles ever.

Here it is on the map:

Pretty freakin big, I must say. It looks to be about as big as Lion's Arch.

Inarissa · Aug 28, 2007, 02:40 AM // 02:40

How do you fight an enemy the size of a city? ;o

crazybanshee · Aug 28, 2007, 03:15 AM // 03:15

It's a Drakkar, duh
