    On our second Alchy resorce run we decided to hit up the Oasis off of Purple Lotus Swamp to look for rare drops. Now while we were there we came across a giant horn on a little island in the middle of the map. Curiousity took over and one of us clicked the horn. Out of nowhere came a giant Hungry Hippo that went crazy and ran around the place, we tried to attack him but were unable. We also took screen shots that are floating in the forums somewhere.

    Now I bring this up for a reason. After chatting with Ador some new light has been shed. Turns out when he and some high level guildies went to the same place, they figured out something we Alchy's missed.

    When you click the horn and summon the Hippo, he also spawns a bunch of marbles that you need to run around and collect, and if you and your party collect enough, you aggro the Hippo. I belive he has a good drop as well.

    For those of you high levels who were with Ador when you did this, please fill in any blanks and correct me if im wrong. Just thought this is info that is not out there yet and wanted to share.

    You got it pretty much right. Here's the tactic we use that Max figured out a little while back.

    If your in a group of 6 we have one person stand at the horn and the other 5 space themselves out around the lake.

    After the horn is blown, a bunch of yellow, blue and black marbles appear and you all go around and collect them prior to the hippo coming and eating them.

    When you've collected the marbles the hippo continues to run around the pond for a bit and then settles in one spot and stays neutral. Neutral meaning you can attack him but he won't automatically agro on you.

    Every time I've ran it he spawns at level 79 whether the instance was set to 72-80

    Buff up attack the hippo, he hits pretty good so be ready for a fun fight. As to not spoil everything try your knockbacks a few times I think you'll find some fun if you do.

    Thanks to maximilian for spending a few hours one night figuring it out.
