Ok, who's responsible for stealing our Echo?



The boss was using it... but it aint in the capture list. Just bad luck or a weird glitch?

N.B. I don't have factions so don't waste my time telling me to get it from there!

Not had chance, took me 30 minutes to get the git to spawn. Trying now and i'll see if the same happens.

I'm sure i read somet about this a while back, but i thought they'd of fixed it.

It was me, I stole it twice. </joking>
Seriously I dont know, I have never had this happen to me. In addition to posting it here, I would probably also send an email with that image to support. If it were me.

I'm trying to find the boss again but lately no damn bosses seem to be spawning! Healing Hands has been the only boss out of 4 places to spawn in the exact same place these last 5 trips.

Signet of Capture:

* Rwek Khawl Mawl (Perdition Rock)
* The Time Eater (The Eternal Grove (Explorable))
* Mohby Windbeak (Gyala Hatchery (Explorable)

Note: If the boss has echoed another skill before dying his Echo will be replaced with the other skill. If you want to capture Echo but it does not show up in the capture skill list, wait for 20 seconds and use Signet of Capture again.

Yay for wiki.

omg that was a nasty oversight.

urgh perdition rock elites are annoying to cap if you are looking for a specific one.

when this happens use the lower right tab to resize the window and usually the scroll bar will pop revealing the cap.

Ok i have Echo now, i guess Vargs was right with the wiki search, Echo had replaced itself so i should've just waited. Shame i had to turn the pc off so didn't have time

i feel for you, i hate capping elite there... probally easier to buy factions and do the missions until you find the elite.

Actually, there's a pretty easy way to look for boss spawns. Exit into Perdition Rock, and go west right away (about where the res shrine is). If you hold control, you'll be able to see which boss spawned on that part of the island. Just keep going in and out (takes 5 seconds) until you see the one you want; it only takes like 10 minutes max to fight your way there once you get the spawn you want.

At least thats how it worked when a boss actually spawned there. Now its just empty all the time, easier looking for Flesh Golem elites where you can just run East then go back if its not there.

Really? I was there, like, last week to get Glyph of Renewal. It worked fine then...

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

capping on perdition rock is simple. heres a fool-proof method for every single cap on the island except for harn and maxine coldstone.

1) load up on henchies
2) exit perdition and if you are looking for an ettin boss, a drake boss, or a hydra boss - head left avoiding all enemies. hold down ctrl when youre in the "safe area" by the ether seal and you can see which drake has spawned and youll be close enough to physically see if the ettin or the hydra you want is there by the seal. if youre looking for a phantom or flesh golem boss, when you exit perdition hug the right wall again avoiding all enemies. youll run into 3 hydras right about the time you can hold ctrl and see if the proper boss is there.
3) if you see the boss you want, kill and cap
4) if not, map back to town and start over at step 2

harn and maxine are the toughest caps out there. i usually find harn in the northen center area of the island (lots of drakes around to kill) and i usually see maxine slightly lower right of the center point of the island (watch out for the golem patrols). note: only ONE of these 2 spawn per trip, so if you see harn and are looking for maxine, map back to town and start again. they supposedly do a lap around part of the island, but these are the 2 places i most commonly see them.

anyway, hope this helps. ive capped all 90 elite skills on my warrior, and ive capped the whole rock for every character i have (primary and secondary elites- not every skill out there) using this method and it works well. you may have to zone 5 or 6 times until you find the boss you want, but its faster than fighting the whole island. plus, you dont have to worry about "fellow cappers" leaving when they get their cap - henchie work fine.

Right next to the armor crafter.

harn and maxine coldstone = pretty easy.

Just go the opposite route of the arrows. The boss won't walk until you are in his sight.

problem with harn and maxine is that only one of the two will spawn. Not that that was a problem, I actually enjoy perdition rock.

My friend had this exact problem. I kept telling him to just scroll down and it'd be there and he kept getting more upset at me...after all the time it took to find that damn boss. I can't remember if he just recast cap sig or if we did something else but we were able to get it from that boss.
