When you get to the part where the executiones start coming out back up back to the entrance to the beach the boss will come right to you while the executioners won't be anywhere near you easy win.

Just be very patient. There are four or five moving groups of mobs that come into the clearing that leads to the narrow bit where the boss is. You need to clear them out one at a time before you pull the executioners. The trick is to wait, watch, and pull a group only when the other groups are moving away. But you can pull them without the boss, or, as said above, let them come out and wander off. But it's more fun to kill them...
Get used to this kind of gameplay. Being able to manage multiple groups of mobs is a key skill from this point on in the game.

I just stayed away from the entrance and killed off the various groups of skales and magoyles, then I went in and baited everything out of the swamp without triggering him. Then I let all the corpses dissolve (no bone-minons) and baited him out too and kicked his scrawny butt.

yes, kill every skale and mergoyle you can find before you go into the narrow area. I did it with another elementalist (I was 14, he was 17 I think)and henchmen, and we just power bombed the 3 executioners with everything we had, pretty much emptying our energy until they were dead. If the executioners are still alive (even one) when Timot arrives you're toast. When it was just Timot left, Stefan and Thorn tanked for us and we just kept at him till he fell over. I had failed more times than I could count without another live player though, you NEED to have repetitive splashing dmg to take out those executioners quickly.
Spike
Thanks for the help 
will try it later with a few guild members
DrSLUGFly
it's tough as shit man (or ma'am...), but push at it! he's definately got the creepiest arrival of any other bosses I've seen, and I haven't fought anyone tougher yet.

The key is baiting. Use a ranged weapon to draw them out.

It's really weird how he enters. Then the executioners slowly make their way to you. At first your killing the weak mergoyles. Then while your getting beat on by those guys (who I personally thought was harder than the boss). You see this green glowing guy on a horse slowly come out of the darkness into view. Taking his time walking towards you watching his executioners leave corpses for him to make an army with.
Neat effect I thought.

Well we finaly managed to do it. But the next one i tried made that look like a piece of cake. It was the villany of someone or other for a lousy 500xp we had to travel though 5 areas with hordes of lvl 16 to 20 mobs. We got to the end but as usual got swarmed by silly amounts of things. These makes the assend missions look VERY easy in comparsion.

W/Mo. I got trashed my first time (Of Course) and kept at it...until we hit DP -60%...I forget the level I was at at the time.
Later I joined a random group and came equipped with circle of wrath, bane signet, banish. We picked off the skales and margoyles first giving ourselves some room...then waded into the swamp. Circle of wrath did wonders on the trio of executioners and the bane signet put Timor on his horses' kiester. Between my smite skills and a Warrior heavy group, we just pounded them into dust.

Died the first time when he appears, res'd and finished off every mob in the zone and still can't find timot. Do you have to kill him without dying? Doesn't make sense since this thread talks of people being -60 dp and I only died once. Where is Timot?

Shakkar
had exactly the same problem last night
died a couple of times and when I came back he was nowhere on the map
had to leave the area and come back (starting all over again)
but yes best tip is to bait and kill everything in the area first

Same here, fortunately i spotted him wandering along the beach. Must have been topping up his tan.

This quest probably took the most attempts of any so far (I'm currently at Riverside Province) because Lord Timot rides off into the sunset if you don't kill him quickly enough. I was trying to pull the executioners after killing everything else, but Timot kept coming out, too. I finally noticed the executioners were already walking in my direction without me doing anything so I just kept backing up a little until they came out into the opening. After they were dead, Timot wasn't too bad. My character is a Me/E and the rest were henchmen.

Shakkar When you die he run to Gate of Kryta. If you killed everything in the map before going to Lord Timot, you just have to run in the direction of the mission outpost and you'll catch him up.

Just did this last night with henchies. N/Mo kinda breezed through it I have to say. If you stay far back enough then minions and henchmen will not attack. And with this build, who cares? Hench dies, res a minion from his corpse, res hench. Its pretty much what I'm doing ATM. Kinda funny, real players may feel 'violated' by me doing this....
Anyway, just wait out the executioners advance, pound them to smeg and attack the big evil dude before he runs off. Took a while for him to die, bring a glass of wine or something. Patience is the key.
You want a real challenge, there's a mission outside of beetletun holding off an undead assault. Try it! Fun fun fun. Should be worth 1000exp IMO.

Yeah, I've done that one. And the Lord Timot one with my necro/ranger too. But I could have sworn I killed every mob in that zone after dying right when Timot showed up the first time. I couldn't find him anywhere.
Does Timot show up even if you don't attack the executioners? I tried that later, just backed up and let them pass by and go on their way, but couldn't find Timot that time either. I think he doesn't spawn until you attack the executioners.

jsaradhi
so does lord timot have any elite skills for warriors? i rather replace that slot with another skill which is useful to kill others!
Eclectic
Timot is a necro boss, so doubtful he has any elite warrior skills. I remember the first time I did him with my necro I had just gotten my capture signet quest and so used it on him, and got animate bone fiend, which I hadn't been able to find yet, so I'd say it was alright, but not what most people look for from a capture. Of course now you can pick which one you want.

The easiest way to do this quest is with a powerful Smiting monk, because they luuuuv fighting undead.
Verbose
He was off in a little pocket on the right side of the zone when I did this quest. He had three executioner buddies who were all hopped up and ready to party, so I danced with them until they got tired and decided to take a dirt nap.
Next thing I know, here comes Timot all slow walking like he's gonna scare me or something... so I burned him, shackled him, laid some empathy on him and let my minions take the starch out of his shorts.
Hella of a good time. I may do it again just for giggles.

I went up from Gates of Kryta I think, killed everything on my way, talked to the scout that triggers the event went the few steps back, killed the executioners and Timot in one go without many problems. Done it with my lvl 16 E/N with a full compliment of henchies.
Rhunex
I decimated everything in my path using Meteor Shower, Fire Storm...and all the other close range nuke spells elementals have. It also helps to bring a necro along to do Putrid Explosion on dead things before Timot can make them into minions, even if you don't need the explosion because it's not close to anything else. it's a quick cast, quick recharge spell so you don't have to wait a long time to recharge, and so you don't have to wait half an hour between each kill. Other than that, keep the heat on the minions around him(usually a few skale wander by, the executioners, and Timot). If you have Necromancer as one of your professions, I might suggest getting Bone Fiend off of him if you want to, because it's a loooooong time before you get the quest for that one.

Yes, smiting monks, and mesmers are MOST important during this stage. Mesmers set up for anti-casting/buffing and Monks set up for smite is the best way to go. It's amazing that people don't understand this. The group will be dying from all these buffs and they blame the monks for not healing enough. What they need are MESMERS or PROTECTION MONKS to remove all those buffs. Also, Smite Monks don't have to do damage themselves. They can use smite spells the same way they use healing or protection spells: They cast smite spells on allies to increase their damage output. Combine that with the extra damage that holy damage brings and undead can't stand for long. Balthazars's Aura, Retribution, Holy Wrath, Soldier of Fourtune are all designed to make any character into a super damage dealer, especially the Monk Nuke Spells like Holy Wrath and Balthazar's Aura. It's a shame most monks never even bother to use their smite skills MaglorD
Did this with my monk and all henchies...wasn't hard at all. Monk does mostly healing and some smiting.

You don't even need to kill the executioners. If you approach from Gates of Kryta and kill everything on the way (including the skales just in front of the executioners) Lord Timot will still come out and being on horseback will travel faster than the executioners and you can ambush him on his own.
At least that approach worked for me. Bash
I remember how I did it. I remember looking at the clearing, and seeing so. many. enemies. I decided to wait to do that. Later on, I grouped up with some people...and then I just followed them. We got to the clearing...and only 2 executioners and the boss dude was there...it was one of those quests that you did it, but it seems like it went way to fast than it was supposed to or you just weren't paying attention
MaglorD
I just completed this with my necro and henchies from Gates of Kryta. The bog scales also use putrid explosion so need to destroy the corpses before they explode it. When I got to the Executioners, I just stood back and used Vampiric Gaze now and then. Little Thorn and Stephan got mauled and died...they were lvl 10 while the Executioners were lvl 18 and I level 15. Claude also got mauled cuz he got too close. So I exploded their corpses and that killed the stupid Executioners. Alesia revived the dead henchies just in time before Timot showed up. He was easy once all his denizens were dead.
Went on to do Orrian Excavation since it was in the same area.
Jonval
lol this is easy if you time it right. me and my level 11-14 group got lost on the way out of the shiver peaks, and we ran into him lol. we downed him and his executioners in 40 seconds,
gimpysonofgroin
My R/Mo just did this. Keep judge's insight up and the executioners take about 60 average per shot. (also fav. winds+an excellent flatbow passed down from my necro) Smiting is definately the way to go.
Creshnire
We started off from gates of kryta:
1)We cleared the area of mergoyles. 2)My party and i took on the blighters and executioners at the entrance. 3)Go further in and attack the mob of executioners and hellhounds, try to take them out [notice the boss coming towards your direction]. 4) Eventually we all died and we found that the boss disappeared, until we saw bone fiends heading towards the gates of kryta and followed the trail of bone fiends . We found him alone right on the sand and killed him.

I killed him on the first try, just me and five henchmen. First I killed everything in the clearing you come to, then I waited until those executioners walked back down the hill into the swamp before going and luring nearby Skales from the shipwrecks out and killing them to. To be honest I had no idea which way to find what I was looking for until I saw him stalking his way up the path. Using the \ button I tabbed over to select him and saw he was the boss and lv21 at that. So back to the entrance I ran like a sissy heh... Waited until he stalked back down the hill and the executioners came back. I ran back out and took them out with fire storm and meteor shower, then ran back up to the entrance to recharge. Well back out of the swamp he starlked so I ran out to meet him, this time with the area completely clear of anything that might walk by. He stood still while attacking my group so Little Thorn and Stefan ran up to pin him in place while I cast Meteor shower on him, then Firestorm, then Imulate(sp) to set him on fire then cast fireball over and over. My hench healer kept removing any hex's and healing the party and he was dead within a short while.
