Rizlona TLP, Serpents Spine Era -
My group had been dormant since early Velious, but I logged back in when Serpent's Spine came out and played some catch up. Couple weeks later I'm at 75 with a mix of Plane of time, Theatre of Blood, and tradable gear. SK tank at about 11k unbuffed. Mostly autogrant AA + about 50 spent on each toon.
After farming the bones I was a bit impatient and no guildies were on, figured I could take this guy. Plan was to DPS the zombies then burn Vesthon. Started the fight but the zombie wasn't going down fast. Turned out it had 200k hp per parser. So after I killed one, I hit burn on Vesthon and he went down in time and spawned the Abomination at about 15%. Abomination seemed to be going down okay - I did have to burn staunch recovery on my cleric - thought I was golden at that point. Then suddenly my cleric was down with the Abomination at about 45% and I'm toast. Seems the no aggro spells from my SK were landing and I wasn't paying attention to taunt. Wipe followed despite some real effort from my ranger to play cleric. Monk and bard hung around a while using defensive disks and everyone was dead at maybe 30% health for the mob.
Figured I'd be farming bones again after CR, but lo and behold the Abomination had not despawned. So I have 7 lvl 70 merc guards at the doorway to Hsgara's house, the Abomination and 2 zombies left. Most of my cooldowns are gone but I might have time to split the mobs. I did the mercenaries 2 or 3 at a time. They were pretty standard lvl 70 mobs with ~60k hp. When it came to splitting the Abomination and zombies I was having some trouble. They were pretty well linked and pathed together. I decided to pull them out into the open area outside the building to and see if I could hang one of them up on a corner and split them that way. I decided to try to hook one or more of the mobs up inside of one of the dragon skeleton bone piles. After I faded, the zombies headed back inside, but the abomination just stood there inside the bone pile conveniently. One on one it wasn't a tough fight. SK got to the 40%s a couple times, taps didn't work at all, and monk/cleric took aggro several times since none of the aggro spells would hit. But, good ole taunt still worked and the fight was pretty smooth. 350k hp on the Abomination, max hit was 1310. Killed the zombies, who didn't despawn after abomination went down, for revenge.
TL/DR: Vesthon may despawn in 3 min (I did not verify this) but the Abomination does NOT despawn for at least 30 minutes after it is engaged. So if you get killed by the abomination on the first try, you can go back and try again.
Vesthon Marijakin
Monster
Uploaded July 24th, 2007
Undead
200khp (before he'll transform into Vesthons Draconic Abomination)
Depops if not killed in 3 minutes
Transforms into Vesthons Draconic Abomination when his health drops to around 15%.
Given Vesthon has 200khp, and has 3 minutes before he despawns, you will need a combined DPS of over 1111 to win the event.
Upon turning in the four bone pieces to Hsagra's Shade, three a lumbering zombie and Vesthon Marijakin spawn together, in front and slightly to Hsagra's Shade's left.

For the first fight against him minions stayed up for us even after the abomination was dead. For crowd control minions were immune to mez but very easily rootable. So can kite or just root, though root was breaking every now and again at lvl 70.
For second fight against him it seems a majority of the minions that spawn for the event are mezzable. There are a handful that are not, unsure why, but might be just the ones that spawn once event is engaged, but are rootable. Or just kite them all and focus on liches.

Fair warning for anyone thinking they will get a surge of shadow buff (4000 damage shield) from a magician and go kill this guy. He has some ability or spell that will steal your damage shield (didnt take my circle of flameweaving RK. III) but took the surge buff. needless to say, everyone whom i had attacking (68 bard, 68 sk, my tank merc) killed themselves VERY quickly.
You will then lose all your bones and have to start over. Hurray!

Do you HAVE to kill him in 3 mins? or he despawns in 3 mins if he doesnt get aggro?
Have to kill in 3 min. Tried today with 1 group. Got adds away and rooted. Had him to 54% and he poofed on us.

Vesthon pops along with 8 mobs at the ent (which can be ignored as long as you don't go looking for trouble ><) and 3 zombies (who pop right beside him. All adds hit for 800 as does Vesthon himself in his original form of an erudite. The zombies that pop with vesthon can be kited, snare/rooted, and OT'd, take your pick, but all DPS must go to vesthon so he does not poof before transforming.
Now once Vesthon is low, around 15? percent (wasn't really watching), he changes into a bone dragon. In his new form, Vesthon hits for about 1300, has an ae ramp, and an ae. I did him tonight with 10 people (mostly GoD/Anguish gear) was np though I'd bring more for lesser geared people.
*Edit*
This info is for 1st DN raid, since he's in both parts ><

This is for Bard Epic 1.5, not 2.0

1.5 requires 2.0 - all the 1.5 are considered "part" of 2.0
**Pulls out his nit-pick and swings at Vancouver**
QUOTE: "1.5 requires 2.0 -"
Not quite accurate. It is 2.0 that 'requires' 1.5. You HAVE to finish 1.5 prior to getting the quest for 2.0.
Aside from that, your point may be true Vancouver, but I have yet to meet anyone who says they are working on their 2.0 epic while killing/questing to get their 1.5 first, which you HAVE to do prior to getting 2.0 (turns off repeat button). Also, since there is a reward at the end of 1.5, it makes sense to keep the events and quests related to each REWARD level (1.0. 1.5, 2.0) separate.
IMO.

the drop off of this part of the 1.5 is not used until the 2.0
you must have finished this event to loot the container off of metala though.

The drop from this part of the 1.5 is the Blackened Dragon Bone, which is used to trigger the very next fight, which is another fight with Vesthon Marijakin, which spawns the Dracoliche of Hsagra, all of which is still part of the 1.5 epic, not the 2.0.
