Just beware of damage reflection, after the first cast, it will cast it every minute or so. Besides that, just remember to pot and youll be fine. It hits incredibly low.

BPQ is very easy. Talk to Manji in Perion and he'll teleport you there for 10k. Assuming getting into a party instantly, it takes 15 minutes to complete, and easy gives about 260k exp. Usually melee classes attack the claws on the floor to begin with, while ranged classes go up to a platform and attack the head. You will not get the 1hp/1mp attack while on the platform attacking the head, as it only affects the floor. Listen to your party members when they say slow or stop or you will die from damage reflection. Other than 1/1 and damage reflects his attacks are pretty straightforward with mediocre damage. Bring a lot of potions. The massive slowdown in bpq is people that don't know how to bpq properly... I personally find bpq too tedious because you need a good party and must be committed.

tell your party to slow down when the hp bar reaches the T in time at the top. he'll cast DR soon.

[quote] andrewthepro : K gotta remember: T in time= tell Larry to stop [/quote] its not that simple. the person forgot to tell you to make your mini map the one that shows the outline of the map but with no name. the 2nd map. its the one smaller then the regular mini map + name. and when the hp bars goes to t T in "Time" slow down.

When the core of the horns glow red, not the tips, but the core, thats when he'll put that icon over his head, making you take huge amounts of damage if you attack him. So thats pretty much all you have to pay attention to, besides your hp and mp, ALWAYS look at his horns.

Well here's my explanation of BPQ :] 1st ) Form a party of 5 or 6 2nd) Make sure there are ranged(assassins/archers/evans) and only 2~3 melee(warriors) for a fast pq 3rd) When the leader of the party registers everybody signs up 4th) Once everyone is signed up the LEADER and LEADER only enters and clicks npc to go out 5th) Once the leader is outside you wait until the timer is (00:30) so you don't burn pots the whole time. (50k damage is required to continue the pq). 6th) Melee (mostly warriors/bandits attacks the arms on the bottom) while the rest goes to the top left and attack the head. 7th) When the hp bar gets too the ''T'' in time you shuold slow your attacks down because rog is about to cast reflect. 8th) Once it reflects say the time it started the reflection and simply subtract 1 min. (So every minute after the time stop attacking cause it will reflect again)There is not always a 1 minute difference could be for example 55 seconds (Reflect simply reflects the damage you inflict on the boss right back at you). P.S. Do not INVITE CLERICS INTO YOUR PARTY! Reason : They heal = damage to the boss = if reflected the party will take damage leading to death! :]

Pro bishops thats why... Anyways, Zombify doesn't start till 10% health. All i know is that when I'm 50 on my cleric, I'm going to BPQ. Edit: OnTopic-Make sure you do Easy [Levels50-70] Join a party, once invited check the levels..You going to need at least 3 people level 64+ otherwise you won't kill the balrog[which has 3.6mil HP!] Like others said, Go to the top left of the map, attack the head [in the top middle] after about 50% of his hp is gone. People will say slow / stop Slow = Range Stop or you will 1hit ko yourself The Warriors will keep attacking because the first dr[damage reflection] is based on his amount of HP after the first DR is cast, say its at 8:40, he will then summon again @ 7:40 Personally, i would stop 5seconds before the time,incase of bad DR timer. [btw people will just say"40" not "7:40"] ALSO, Forgot to say... When you get in a party, you will cc to another channel to avoid the ch1 lag.[dont go to 6/7, those are normal bpq] anyways, you will have to sign up. Once you see a timer on your screen, thats when you sign up Click on the NPC on the map > click Next > click participate in this party quest. The Leader will enter after every one has signed up. BTW The faster you sign, the less pots you waste. Enter when the timer gets to 0:30, if a pro party yo u can do 0:10, but for now 0:30 is fine, 20seconds of potting aint much. You will need tons! of hp/mp pots! make sure to stock up on tons of them On this character, my dk i was using about 30-50honsters a pq depending on finishing time. 50Honsters =175K! Pot BURN! Also, since the XP is so godly, you can only do 7PQ's a day. About bonus: Some people will be newbs and mass loot everything, if this is the leader. leave the party, unless you don't want the drops. About the drops: Basic drops are balrog weapons[staffs,wands for you] There bad so just say you get the staff/wands if your the only evan in the party and npc for 300k. Most people will want shoes, you will probably get a pair before level 70 if you keep bpq'ing. There is level 58Shoes [0-3all stats] Or level 68 shoes [1-4all stats, eg, 1+luk+2dex+4luk+3int] Elixers drop, usualy one of them = 10-15elixers, personally i pick up these And leathers, which you trade in to scroll the balrog weapons and your shoes. GL with bpq

[quote] mrjimmy : Sorry forgot to mention (un exped clerics) will kill you :] [/quote] mmk, better. But true of what you said before. Most clerics @ bpq have never done it before and are newb. Hopefully i get invited @ level 50. @Btw TS, if you want to BPQ ill bpq with you once i get my cleric[ zLeveLz ] to level 50. Add it if you wish. ;] Also i can time DR, but its pretty easy to catch onto once you do like 2 runs.
