Notes:

• Spawned by clicking the ??? at K-8 with the key items Glittering Pixie Choker, Blood-Smeared Gigas Helm, Bloodied saber tooth and Marbled Mutton Chop. (See table below for complete NM progression to spawn.)
  • The Hammering Ram roam freely (does not aggro) around the spawn area and can get quite crowded. Many times it made it hard to see whats going on since they are such big creatures obstructing the view of battle.
• Uses Ecliptic Meteor. Average Area of Effect damage ranged from 516 - 1088, small AoE range, puts Paralyze and Bio on the characters it hits.
  • Log Messages: "Hadhayosh readies Ecliptic Meteor." and "Hadhayosh uses Ecliptic Meteor." indicating its an ability?
  • Cast Time: Time between "Readies" and "Uses" was ~6 Seconds in the log
• Used Meteor at 10%? Huge Area of Effect damage averaging out at 1025 damage among mages/melee, Aegis Paladin took 765 damage, same range as Meteor from King Behemoth (30 Yalms? of the spell target).
  • This is Instant Cast or a shortened cast time
    • Log Message: "Hadhayosh starts casting Meteor."
      • death occurred approximately 2 seconds after message but most likely due to chat-log lag.
    • 5 seconds after he started casting it says "Hadhayosh casts Meteor." in log
• Uses Accursed Armor. Curse Spikes self buff, gives curse to the character who strikes it, can not remove curse with Cursna or Sacrifice with Afflatus Solace on. Prevents healing the afflicted character's HP temporarily.
  • "Striking Hadhayosh's armor causes (Character Name) to become cursed." like Igqira/Genie armor.
  • Cannot be dispelled.
  • This is the same Curse that Briareus gives with Colossal Slam except it doesn't inflict it by hitting you, you hit it.
  • It is advised for Paladin's to not hit Hadhayosh during this.
  • Duration of spikes and curse is unknown, needs verification for both.
• Uses Amnesic Blast, Single Target damage with Amnesia status. Goes through and strips shadows, does 820 - 1750+ damage to a very well geared Paladin. Cannot verify if it is magical or physical damage, 0 damage occurred once but with both Shadow Ring and Shadow Mantle on.
• Uses Howl, Wild Horn, Thunderbolt, and Flame Armor like King Behemoth does.
• Gives 5100 EXP and 3500 Cruor upon defeat, a variety of Temporary Items, as well as the Hadhayosh Halterer title.
  • "(Character Name) obtained the temporary item: Pinch of Fanatic's Powder!" after defeating Hadhayosh
  • I recieved 4750 experience points, 2880 Cruor personally
    • the 5100 / 3500 may be explained from Scarlet Abyssite of Perspicacity (EXP Bonus) and Azure Abyssite of the Reaper (Cruor Bonus) Key Items.

Historical Background

The Hadhayosh is a land creature from ancient Persian mythology that is often likened to the Behemoth of modern and Hebrew culture. Also called the Sarsaok.

A Zoroastrian text from the Middle Persian era mentions the hadhayosh. By this time, Zoroastrianism had been influenced by Hellenic and Arabic culture.

"Of the ox Hadhayosh, which they call Sarsaok, it says, that in the original creation men passed from region to region upon it, and in the renovation of the universe they prepare Hush (the beverage producing immortality) from it."[1]
