'''Note:''' As of January 18, 2014. The South Ro Ancient Cyclops appears to be only spawnable at night and he is much more rare than before. /tar # macro no longer works, and until more testing is done in South Ro, he can spawn *anywhere* in South Ro now and is no longer a static spawn.

'''Note:''' As of at least 2016. The South Ro Ancient Cyclops appears to only spawn at 9PM (10% chance), regardless of whether his PH has been slain (the day spawn is simply replaced with a night spawn, akin to Kithicor Forest). As such, the below information is now redundant, but is kept for historical reference. The night spawn is replaced with a day spawn 30.6 minutes later at 9AM.

<s>There is a hill just North of the Undead Tower, on the East side of the desert (pos85, neg130). From this spot you can observe three mobs that all spawn on the same spot (approx. pos144, 0) and path in the exact same pattern. They go NorthWest a ways, pause, then return to their spawn point (note that there is sometimes a "ghosting" glitch where they ''appear'' to go farther South).

SRO Spawn Table

Note: The following information about the South Ro AC is current as of 3/19/2017, following the changes in [p99's 1/18/2014 patch.]

In South Ro, the Ancient Cyclops has a unique spawn time and location mechanic based on classic Everquest. The [location is randomized], and [spawns only in the desert area.]

The AC has a single placeholder cycle, which may be Sandgiant Husam, a sand giant, desert madman, barbarian male dervish cutthroat, or a mummy. Out of all of these, the AC has a 10% chance of spawning in any spawn event. The AC or his PH will only spawn at night (9PM to 7AM in SRo) and has a 30.6 minute respawn timer. This classic placeholder cycle was [revealed by EQ Dev Prathun] in 2008 and [confirmed by Nilbog in 11/18/2016.]

Also present in SRo is a despawn/respawn mechanic which removes daytime spawns and replaces them with nighttime spawns at 9PM game time (similar to Kithicor forest). AC's PH cycle is one of these spawns.

Note: Though it worked previously, the /tar # macro no longer works on Project 1999 to confirm a placeholder, [as signaled by Nilbog before the 1/18/14 patch in 11/29/2013.]

OOT Spawn Tables

Island with Temple on north side of hill and old ruined tower on top of hill inhabited by Elesseryl Terussar who sells Mage spells, mostly summoning spells.

Location - (1008, -8022)

Placeholders:a pirate, a cyclops*, Boog Mudtoe.

Respawn Timer: ~6min

  • There are 2 cyclops that spawn on that island. 1 spawns and wanders on the side of the island closest to Seafury Island, while the other spawns and wanders on the side closest to Sister Island. The cyclops that spawns and wanders on the side closest to Sister Island is the PH for the AC.

It is also thought that any cyclops can be a placeholder for AC, some have confirmed this is true on p99 also. [1]

  • As of August 22, 2015, on Red99, there are two spawns. One wandering cyclops, and one stationary. The wandering cyclops is always a cyclops, and is on a longer respawn timer. The stationary spawn is the PH for the ancient cyclops, and can be any of the mobs listed above.
