Has anyone seen or know how to spawn this mob in HoH? I found a Magelo comment posted 8 months ago and on this mob's page (http://eq.magelo.com/npc/428458) The comment says It's below the southern 'crypt'. Spawned by killing many honor mobs in a very short time span I've kept many areas in HoH clear and have yet to see Amalgamation of Honor`s Spirits spawn in the area. Has anyone else seen this mob in HoH and know how it spawns?
Interesting thread. I think the mob must still be spawning though. That post is 2 years old and the Magelo comment is only 8 months old, so it is still possible to spawn the mob somehow. The method described on magelo saying that it spawns by killing certain mobs in a short time frame makes sense considering the zone wide emote that announces the mob's: "The spirits of Honor's fallen Heroes begin to coalesce in front of you." I will keep trying to spawn the "Amalgamation of Honor`s Spirits ". I figured with the renewed interest in PoP progression due to the Artisan's Quest someone might have seen this mob.
Just to be clear, the Amalgamation spawned in the SW wing while you were doing the SE Wing trial (Recuso+women)? Was the spawn emote a zonewide thing then? I am assuming so judging by the timestamp difference between it and when you hailed it. Had you killed/cleared out the SW wing prior to him spawning or was it entirely a surprise while you were just doing something else? I find the whole thing quite interesting as I was always curious what the point of that entire SW wing area was, as it has the design structure of the other 3 but without an actual trial that takes place in there. Most of the enemies inside also have a weird kill->split mechanic.
Thanks for the info on how you spawned him. I triggered the SW trial after midnight and successfully completed it. The Amalgamation didn't spawn however. He must have some very complex spawn rules. I believe there is a time component as well as the factor of defeating a certain amount of mobs quickly like in the first magelo comment.
I had done nothing in the unmapped/trial-less SW basement, and saw the emote from where I was in the SE basement, I assume it's visible zonewide.
I think it may be something like "kill a lot of mobs between 11pm and 12am," but that's just a guess.
Also, Rondor was the one actually performing most of the actual Trial event. Maybe he has some more details about what was happening in the zone at the time we spawned this mob.

We had just cleared all or most of the static spawn mobs in the 3 rooms that the trial takes place in, triggered the trial, beat up the first "champion" that spawns, then cleared the nomads that spawned in the first room, while aggroing but not yet beating up the spawned nomads in the other 2 rooms. The first boss spawned (Halgoz Rellinic), then the spawn emote happened a few seconds later, but before that first boss was defeated. I was playing as character Rordori in these logs. Log time stamps suggest that Xikteny and I are in the same time zone at least, making it easier to interpret these timestamps. After the trial was done Xikteny ran to look for the mob, as we guessed it spawned way far away in the SW "not-a-trial" area based on previous reading. I forgot to type /time when the spawn emote happened, but by chance I had /time recorded about 1.5 hours before the spawn, and then again about 2.5 hours after the spawn.

[Wed Aug 10 02:54:08 2016] Game Time: Monday, January 23, 3333 - 4 AM Game Time runs 20 times faster than Earth time: 1 hour in Game Time is 3 in minutes Earth Time, so 1 day (24h) Game Time is 72 minutes Earth Time. Hopefully the math below is correct. Please advise if you notice any errors: "Day 2 00:15:58" - "Day 1 22:43:53" = 1:32:05 = 92 minutes and 5 seconds Earth time 92 / 3 = 30.67 = 24 hours + 6 hours 40 mins in Game Time "Thursday, January 19, 3333 - 4 PM" + (24 hours + 6 hours 40 mins) = "Friday, January 20, 3333 - 10:40 PM" There is a 1 hour uncertainty for the start time, since EQ /time reports the floor-truncated value, so it could have been 4:59:59 PM Game Time at the start, giving a spawn-emote time of "Friday, January 20, 3333 - 11:39:59 PM" which is "close enough" to midnight game time that there may be some other rounding errors here. So the mob spawned roughly at midnight at the beginning of "Saturday, January 21, 3333" in game time, while (coincidentally or because) a whole bunch of mobs happened to have been killed in the preceding 1 or 2 minutes.
The NPC spawned again today. This time I had time to track it down and hail it. I and a few people completed the 3 HOH trials in sequence #1 / #2 / #3 in a raid formation for flags. The last character to hail for their flag was at this time: [Wed Aug 17 19:00:05 2016] ---SOME-PLAYER--- says, 'Hail, Alekson Garn' Then almost 5 minutes after completing the 3rd trial we saw this zone-emote, while nothing else in particular was going on, no fighting or otherwise that I remember: [Wed Aug 17 19:04:54 2016] The spirits of Honor's fallen Heroes begin to coalesce in front of you.

[Wed Aug 17 19:06:18 2016] Amalgamation of Honor`s Spirits is ahead and to the left. I found the NPC in the bottom of the south-west (SW) trial-like area of 4 rooms. It was behind the middle NPC on the wall equivalent to where Alekson Garn spawns in the 3rd trial area. There were 4 NPCs on the wall, with the Amalgamation immediately behind the center one, suggesting the center one is not a PH. I did not do a /loc though, but can get one if the mob is still up or respawns. The mob has the look of the standard "taller than normal human male in white plate with no helmet" that is used elsewhere around the zone. [Wed Aug 17 19:08:06 2016] Taking a screenshot... While invisible (regular invis, not invis-vs-undead or invis-vs-animals): [Wed Aug 17 19:08:12 2016] Amalgamation of Honor`s Spirits regards you indifferently -- You could probably win this fight. Clicking off invisibility buff: [Wed Aug 17 19:08:13 2016] You appear. [Wed Aug 17 19:08:13 2016] Amalgamation of Honor`s Spirits looks upon you warmly -- You could probably win this fight. Nearby mobs conned scowling, but the Amalgamation conned warmly to my character. [Wed Aug 17 19:08:45 2016] You say, 'Hail, Amalgamation of Honor`s Spirits' [Wed Aug 17 19:08:46 2016] Amalgamation of Honor`s Spirits echoes in your mind, 'We are the spirits that reside in these halls. Within us are all the great victories we knew while we still resided in our corporeal forms. We have fought great battles throughout these Planes. You may know the Honor of the battles we have fought. Do you wish to [test your skill in battle]?' [Wed Aug 17 19:08:55 2016] You say, 'test your skill in battle' [Wed Aug 17 19:08:56 2016] Amalgamation of Honor`s Spirits echoes in your mind, 'Very well. Our tasks are not simple, not by any means. If you succeed, then you will have proven your Honor. Should you fail, and fall against the Foes of Virtue, perhaps one day your soul will join us in these halls. Come back when you have gathered from a Nightmare Hoof and a lock of Banshee hair from the realm of Nightmares, and from Bertoxxulous' diseased plane, the tattered clothing of a Leperoth as well as the wings of a Malarian.' === That's as far as I could check today.
