NPC Spawn Issue: corrupted hill giant

[Vaye]

zone: rathe mountains

npc: corrupted hill giant

time: ~ 5 am pst

issue: i tracked a corrupted hill giant and he wasn't where track said he'd be. i cleared a bunch of regular hgs, even broog bloodbeard, and the corrupted hg would not spawn. this is clearly a bug, as i remember this npc always being up before in the spot where tracking said he ought to be. i found this related thread where someone had the same issue.

thanks in advance!

When the tainted hill giant is killed, the corrupted hill giant will spawn right where the tainted died.

The third one creature is the Corrupted Hill Giant in Rathe Mountains. You want to hunt in the HG area south of the hill with the Guard Tower in Rathe, where Cyclops can also be found. The same process applies here. Kill HGs around the tower and a tainted hill giant will spawn. Kill it and hopefully a corrupted hill giant will spawn. When it dies, loot an Ancient Rock from it.
(http://wiki.project1999.com/druid%20Epic%20Quest) - For this link search "Corrupted Hill Giant" and scroll down to "The Cleansed Spirit of Antonica" in the "Short Walkthrough" section. It should be the second result in the search.

Hope this helps

He definitely spawns on both servers and during this patch as I farm hillgiants when seafuries are busy and have seen him.

Probably just popped under the world.

my bad, dude, i didnt read this part somehow. I agree with manowar, its probably glitched under the ground. If you can get a target and send a pet on it, that might solve the issue, if not, you'll need to petition him to be despawned.

I have experienced mobs dropping into the ground in rathe mountains before but have always been a necro or mage or with one when it happened so it was never an issue.

Just kill hill giants til one pops, they don have a timer, just a random spawn in place of hill giants.

A corrupted hillgiant was already up and on track. Track lead him to where the corrupted hill giant was on the x/y. Track does not tell you where a target is on the z, so it was likely directly below him in the ground.

EDIT: This bug can be reproduced in Rathe Mountains by fearing a mob into many of the trees, or the invisible wall at roughly 1300, 2600
