So, has anyone else followed the evil cute little rabbit in drakkar lake?

More importantly has anyone got the rare instance when a different set of creatures spawn than normal?

I'm intrigued! The spawn I've found is far too easy...

They can't be tamed. I tried it the instant I saw the rabbit... then I followed it down the hole and died, in the preview weekend

Lol. I went there while doing that quest, the one where you have to kill 3 bosses in that area. Get down there thinking "oh! look rabbit village, how cute" then bam! All hell breaks loose.

Wait till you get the other spawn of little evils thats a crackup when you think
your getting the usual spawns but don't.
I won't spoil what they are you have to see it for yourself.
Got a few good drops down there too.
Love doing this over and over for points and farming.

Lil' things like this in the game show how much attention to detail they give to each explorable area.

I had herd of somthing about rabbits from the preview weekend but never found em or knew what to expect. I had just found them while exploring the lake yesterday. I had my Paragon, the two Paragon HERO's, Jin (Barrage), Lina, Mhenlo, Aiden, and Zho. I felt like I was in the movie Aliens as they kept coming in from all sides. I pulled a retreat to the ledge and ended up fighting a two front battle. One front for retreat the other for survival.

Fortunately with 2 GFTE command paragons shouting off every other second with two barrage rangers combined with a good solid paragon defensive chorus is what saved us. With any other character I would have died very easy. possibly the second best fight I've been in so far. With Frostmaw being the best fight.

On topic, yes, and was subsequently wiped as well. Do people recommend starting the Drakkar grind there, or finishing it?

However since these were level 5 enemies they died quickly. Maybe you can charm them after they go hostile.

I want to know what the secret alternate spawn is... >_~ ...


For now though... I know an easy trick for dealing with the rabbit cave:
Make one of my heroes follow the rabbit. The rest of the party stay outside. I used Sousuke. Down into the rabbit grove he goes. Enemies spawn and I instantly de-flag him and promptly start carving my way down to rescue the poor sod. A party of seven can beat them easily from the outside in (then again, I can personally kill most of them with a little monk help from the outside in).


I still want to know what the alternate spawn is though. I couldn't care less about "spoilers"...

I followed him, knowing I would get ambushed. So about 30 mobs came, but we killed them all with only my Zhed dying. Vekk as SS/Warder FTW!

*Sighs*

This is even sillier than that time I got totally confused about the farming build using "SV" and my assuming for ages they were talking about Spoil Victor when they actually meant Sympathetic Visage... ¬_¬

A rabbit to follow can only mean one of four things:
#1. It wants to show you something nice... i.e. Loot.
#2. It wants to show you something nasty... i.e. Monsters... i.e. Bounty Points.
#3. It wants to run away... i.e. Nothing at all.
#4. Pet to tame.

We have concluded that it is number 2.... with the potential of a little of number 1 as well. PLUS the area it runs to is pretty.

So why wouldn't you go down there?
