So uhm, maybe stupid question, but who is the Beleth guy? Is that somewhere in the L2 lore (game background) or is he another raidboss?
Beleth is a part of the game lore, and is related to the history of the Ivory Tower. You can read more about him in the Myths and History (http://www.lineage2.com/background/legends14.html) section of the web site.
Among those from the Ivory Tower was Beleth, the strongest mage of all and one of the greatest geniuses to ever walk the earth. He became obsessed with the magic of the giants and managed to acquire nearly all of their strengths. But the power of the giants was a cursed power unfit for humans, and having attained it, Beleth's ambition and thirst for control grew rampant.

As my own side note, I wish I had all the shout the mobs use to do. Like the madness use to yell something like "ow my head hurts, where am I?"
you can buy it from most grocery shops ;) .... some don't sell it for some odd reason (= bug?) :confused:
beside the raid boss tales it also contains a lot of other useful informations :)
As my own side note, I wish I had all the shout the mobs use to do. Like the madness use to yell something like "ow my head hurts, where am I?"
oh yeah they were funny and entertaining .... i miss them too :(
And for extra credit, Duke Byron Ashton or Lord Ashton, the one mentioned in several raid boss descriptions (like Sir Calibus) is alive and well as a NPC guard in Dion Castle. ;) Discovered this today on the PTS siege.
Wow, I thought I was the only person who read/was interested in these. Here's a couple of the new bosses in Interlude:
Demon Blade Tanatos
Once the Commander of the imfamous Death Blade Army that ravaged the land, terrorizing friends and foes alike, he was eventually demoted at the request of several prominent nobles. He was later killed when his army was sacrificed as bait. Not even death could end his bloodlust, however. Calling upon the magic of Darkness, he and his army were resurrected as undead soldiers. Now the commander of the undead, he roams old battlefields and threatens the Border Outpost with a gleaming, rust-proof blade.
He looks and fights quite a bit like a less inhuman version of the death blader/knight, those levitating skeletal guys with the huge staff weapons.
Gordon
Wandering near Goddard Castle, this seemingly ordinary human knight is actually a demon searching for for a powerful weapon to increase its strength. (An active monster whose location cannot be known)
He's not hard to find though, just check the road that circles Goddard castle and eventually you'll find him or he'll find you. He's not aggro unless you have a cursed weapon. He's also pretty **** cool-looking. (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b106/1jmcdonald/interlude/gordon.jpg)
I like that we're getting more unique raid bosses, and not overinflated versions of mobs. :D
you can buy it from most grocery shops ;) .... some don't sell it for some odd reason (= bug?) :confused:
I believe they made it so u cant buy them any more at all, they did that when they changed that when they made raid points absolutely worthless to have.
Iron Giant Totem
This Iron Giant was supposedly made by the devil Beleth. Given the power of artificial intelligence, he is a Golem designed to manage other Golems. Due to Beleth's caprice, however, he was sealed up and put on standby. During his inactivity, he began to be worshipped as an idol by low level Orcs who gathered near him. Now reactivated, he believes that he has become the God of the Orcs.
Black Lily
A female succubus who is known to have received the special favor of Antharas and obtained the power of the Land Dragon. Although it is not clear how she earned Antharas's favor, she clearly possesses the fatal beauty that can lead adventurers coming to Dragon Valley to their death.
Oh WOW he is cool!!!
W0rd. I'm kinda fascinated by the creatures in this game. I think Gordon on his... steed thing is my favorite from Interlude thus far.
They really got cracking on making bosses more unique. I went and looked at a few bosses that seemed important enough, which is a process I wouldn't recommend. Some of these were known to be retextured because Mistryl spawned them on the PTS, a couple others were later confirmed by her (Thanks again!), the others I found by just hoofing it around and paying the monsters themselves a visit. There may be others, I've only visited a few and those were based completely on a hunch. Anyway, their names and levels are links to pictures of their updated appearance.
The old Chief who has led Leto Lizardmen for the last several decades. In spite of his old age, he has survived thanks to his strength and quick wits. He knows that his tribe cannot take their homeland back in a direct fight against the kingdom of Aden, so he watches for an opportunity to strike. He hopes to use the coming confusion to secure the territory of the Leto Lizardmen.
A messenger of Fafurion. This Drake, Lokness, whose ancestor is the Water Dragon Fafurion, delivers messages from Fafurion to Lizardmen and Crokians. Since Fafurion is barely interested in these two insignificant tribes, Lokness handles them at its discretion. It despises creatures weaker than it is.
This plant-shaped monster is found near the Blazing Swamp. According to one theory, Palatanos is the result of a failed experiment. After Ipos arise from purgatory, his influence and magic were not the equal of Hallate, and he was unable to create the same kind of powerful underlings. Too proud to ask Hallate for help, however, he tried honing his skills on relatively simple monsters. Despite Palatanos' strange origin and appearance, he can still be a potentially dangerous adversary.
The leader of the most famous bandits in Gludio. He once declared he would steal the most beautiful, immortal, and valuable object in the world, and some say he has been trying to steal the heart of beautiful Poesia ever since.
An assistant to the Death Lord Hallate, she is smart and beautiful. Currently, she works as Devil Kernon's servant, in charge of the Tower of Insolence. Yet in truth she is Hallate's confidant and lover. She senses the Devil Kernon's schemes of betrayal, and thus quietly watches him.
A life form created by Icarus, who is one of Hardin's disciples. Currently, Icarus has released it to test its behaviors and reactions, and it appears curious and playful, although others find it a nuisance.
A drake that used to be a guardian of Aden in ancient times, but turned into a devil of revenge after losing his child to a greedy hunter. He has left Dragon Valley to roam the territories near Aden Castle, and killed countless villagers. He also killed the priests who came to calm his rage. All of his good deeds gave been erased from the chronicles by Imperial command, and he is now called the Disaster of Aden.
During the golden years of Elmoraden, this king of beasts was captured and brought to the Coliseum as a spectacle to entertain the Emperor and his court. When the empire fell, he was sealed beneath the Coliseum by mystics afraid of his vengeance, but later escaped. His gigantic arms can shatter rocks, and he is able to rule all beasts.
A knight who used to govern a peaceful town before the Gracia War, today it is called the Ruins of Agony. Underlings of Beleth hiding in the town stole his body and resurrected him, making his soul corrupted. Having lost his knightly honor and sense of self-sacrifice, now he has turned into a devil and tries to spread his pain to all he encounters in his endless wandering through the Ruins of Agony.
