Sro ancient cyclops spawn mechanism?

[Swiggity]

From what I've gathered, Sro AC was patched at some point (earlier this year?) so that he no longer has a static spawn point. However, I haven't been able to tell for sure whether his PHs, or perhaps I should call them his trigger mobs, are also now no longer static spawns. It's my understanding that the Sro AC has a single PH on a 30.6~ min timer, and that, at least prior to the patch, it was a mummy/a desert madman/a dervish cutthroat (barbarian) that spawned a little northwest of the undead tower. So I guess my question is (a) whether the Sro AC's PH still spawns in the same spot, and (b) whether it's the same set of mobs (i.e., mummy/desert madman, etc.).

Thanks!

Still a single PH, still the same spawn table, still the same timer, but can spawn in one of several different points in a small area of the desert.

Very well stated and true as far as I have seen.

And he only spawns at night

FFA mob /w engage-first rules

Probably easier to wait til 41 for OOT spawn

Sorry, I just want to clarify here. You're saying that BOTH the PH and the AC have different spawn points now, or just the AC?

Not sure but if you're a 31 Wizard you should have no problem killing him.

Both.

Both.

OK, so if I understand everything correctly, and my calculations aren't off, the optimal strategy would be to kill the PH at around 11AM by murdering every wandering madman/mummy/barbarian dervish in sight?

Last question: is "a sand giant' also a PH for AC?

This.

Be prepared to have someone running by grab the AC and have the First-to-Engage rule dictate that it's their spawn. The rules favor the sniper. There is a reason you will see higher player activity at 9pm.

Don't bother getting it to spawn, that's my advice.

But if you do, best time is to kill the PH at 11am and 9pm. This way you can have 2 chances per night to spawn him. (One at 9pm and one at 7am.)

My suggestion is to get level 41 and camp OOT. Less headache.

SG can be a PH.
