Reaching Siren's Grotto eastern temple

[TheBlob]

So I posted in a previous thread (now closed): https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=370772 for help with dungeon crawling in Siren's Grotto with my friends.

So far, we managed to kill a Molkor with a level 58 magician, 59 druid, 60 paladin and 51 cleric near the WW zoneline. When we tried going for the swordfishes, we aggroed a pather out of the water but I think we will be able to try again.

Concerning sirens, I think our best bet is to reach the eastern temple and hunt sirens in the water. According to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eryCnAXK958 they shouldn't be too hard to kill with a druid/mage duo, and even easier with our other friends. However, the hard part is reaching this part of the zone.

According to this guide: https://wiki.project1999.com/Siren_Hunting it can be done by swimming and jumping out of the water periodically to clear aggro. The other, day, I tried, and could barely get past the first choke point, which leads to "middle area" between entrance and eastern temple, jump out of the water, and died about 5 meters in this area.

Now, I want to try again. One thing I might try is to use my pet/eye of zomm to pull the first seahorses away from the choke point. However, one thing that I noticed is that the mob who killed me was an enthralled bulthar. I have no idea where it comes from (didn't even see it before dying, but saw the damage). Since it isn't a fish, it won't stop following me if I jump out of the water. My questions are therefore:

1) Any tips on how to reach the eastern temple? The Siren hunting guide says it requires practice. How can I succeed with the least amounts of trial/error (need a necro to summon my corpse every time).

2) Any idea on where this bulthar comes from? How do I avoid aggroing it?
