Cerebus Quest [3 part quest]

Colb · Post by **Colb** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 4:22 am

I'm stuck out of town for the night, and I'm anxious to get home and start the 3 part Cerebus quest (level 20 I think). Has anyone done the 3rd part and fought him yet? If so, can anyone attack it or only your party?

Any mob spawn tips would also be appreciated. We'll probably be fighting him with a smaller party (4 or 5 players), so we need strategy on our side if this quest is what I think it is. The SRO website makes it seem basically like a raid.

Videos? Screenshots? I'll update this thread when we kill him with a video, and hopefully a guide to the quest (if it's even challenging)

Make sure you have at least one cleric to res, and make sure that cleric stays alive. Your tankers will be losing a lot of exp... Cerberus 3 quest does NOT spawn mobs, so you dont have to worry about that. It's just that the guy takes so long to kill.

In order for your party to go with you to kill Cerberus, each party member has to have that exact quest. If they dont, they dont get teleported with you to Cerberus.

No cleric

With 1 cleric

I started off with 42% exp, went all the way down to 8%. When we finally killed him, I got back up to 44%.

Looks awesome. Thanks!

Few more questions though:

1.) Is anyone allowed to attack him (i.e. can some high level just KS it)

2.) Are you teleported to a private area (instance)

No high level will be able to KS you because only people in your party will teleport with you. You get teleported to a private area, as you can see, the Jupiter Temple is only occupied by the party I'm in.

Awesome. Thanks again.

Too bad he doesn't spawn a few mobs. That'd be a long fight xD

It took RiceHatNinja and the rest of us almost 15 minutes to kill him I think...I spent the whole time rezzing and healing...never got to see where his health was at the whole time...glad it was over when it was

My hand was sore >.<

This is from later on same day:

So we've killed cerbi 4 times today..tired...

Well Livio, Wakka and me tried taking him on by ourselves...which wasn't on purpose since some people didn't teleport over

...2 tanks and a cleric...we never would have killed though...damage was too little to kill him before time ran out...but anyways Wakka DCed and it crashed the game for us...

So I believe that if the only person/people in the party with the Cerberus #3 quest DCs then it crashes the game...

Battle arenas for the uniques would be cool...

But you also have the spawns to figure into it...8-man party taking down Yarkan and the others...that would certainly be more of an acheivement...although a bit of a level restriction would be needed though to maintain the difficuly...

Or whenever the unique spawned...everyone that was within 5 or so levels of the unique would be asked if they wanted to be teleported to the uniques special arena to do battle....
