Feeler/Executioner/Alastor Antlion Info

Here's how this works:

You trade an Antlion Trap to the ??? at F-10 in Attowah Chasm. This will pop a Feeler Antlion. Have someone blinktank Feeler Antlion and keep it busy. As it standas there doing nothing, Executioner Antlions will pop every so often. Kill these as they pop. Eventually an Alastor Antlion will pop after 4-5 Executioner kills. At this point, kill the feeler to prevent more Executioners from popping (we wiped to Alastor because we didn't do this, and ended up with 2 more Executioners).

As mentioned on Somepage, Alastor casts Stonega III, Stone IV, Quake, and Breakga, is 100% resistant to stun and has an added effect petrify on its attacks. Barstone and Barpetrify are very important because of this.

I recommend a full alliance, as the adds are quite nasty. Goes smoother with a few beastmasters too.

as someone said on the BG forums, treat it like steam cleaner. Feeler = detector Executioner = Caretaker Alastor = SC

Notes:

Whenever Feeler Antlion does Sand Trap, it summons an Executioner Antlion. Whenever a Feeler Antlion does Sand Blast after it's summoned an Executioner Antlion, it summons Alastor Antlion. Once it summons alastor, feeler will keep summoning untill you kill it (which means it usually summons a few others after Alastor pops while you're killing it).

It can't be debuffed or stunned by magic. You can still stun/debuff it with weapskills (IE silence with guillotine).

We've killed this three times, 100% drop rate on Rostrum Pumps.

Quake hits for 1500ish, Stonega III for 500ish, Breakga lasts and average of 15 seconds, Stone IV hits for 800ish. Also casts Stoneskin.

Where does the Ambusher Antlion fit in with this, or is that used elsewhere? That's one we didn't have here before, that is an NM in that zone.

Not sure... we tried to pop Alastor 5 times. First time we killed Feeler first thing, Alastor never popped. Second time we wiped because we didn't kill Feeler and it kept summoning. 3rd-5th times we won. Out of all the tries, we never saw a single Ambusher.

It's probably a new lottery spawn NM off of one of the "hiding" Antlion types. Probably not Cave Antlion, since we killed those for 6 hours today for Alastor pop items.

One more quick tip... leave a White Mage otuside of the alliance - they will not be affected by Breakga, and will be able to quickly Stona blinktanks and whatnot. This will make the fight a lot smoother.

One correction for your NM page. You do not need to keep the executioners up - kill them as they spawn. The only antlions that matter are feeler and alastor - kill everything else. Once alastor pops, the only antlion that matters is alastor - kill the feeler and any executioners that might have popped while killing feeler.

Thanks for the info; the details on Alastor have been updated accordingly.
