Mission:
Skroog'd
Description:
Skroog'd
Santaleet deployed a squad of tactical stealth Elfleets onto a Kyr'Oczh lander housing the Fleet Admiral behind Fleet Commander - Grin'Cha's assault. Disguised inside of carefully wrapped gift boxes, looted by Grin'Cha's ground forces, these leets infiltrated and sabotaged the alien lander.
Infiltrate the crashed alien ship and eliminate the Fleet Commander on board.
Realtime left: 0 days, 24 hours.
Reward:
None
The Crashed Kyr'Ozch Destroyer is in Holes in the Wall, within sight of the Stret West Bank border, so the quickest way there, short of a beacon warp from a friendly Engie parked at the entrance, is whompahs. Whomp to Stret West, run through Last Ditch, out the West exit, into Holes in the Wall, and the Crashed Kyr'Ozch Destroyer is straight ahead, right on the dirt road.
You should already have this waypoint from the mission, but for reference, it's /waypoint 833 1523 791
Inside is a typical little maze of Kyr'Ozch ship corridors, but with snow piles, snowmen, candy canes, and an assortment of confused aliens. Like the other personally instanced solo holiday missions, they should be close to your level. At least at my lowbie levels, it's instanced every 10 levels, on the 5's, so for example if you're level 50, they'll be 45, and if you level to 51, they'll be 55 next time. They do grant decent XP, but I'm a froob, so I don't know if they give AXP.
Heavily Wrapped Alien Infested Gift
- minor nuisance, just annoyingly dodgy
- good for laddering up drains
- valid targets for Throw Snowball v2.2...
...but it heals them for 1 - they're not allergic
- drops nothing
Specialist - Xoch'Nakthi
- casts a Cold nano, but doesn't seem to do much else
- immobile
- remote possibility of dropping old Christmas loot
Commando - Ankari'Uri
- red cricket type just like the ones in the Workshop
- small chance of dropping old Christmas loot
And then there's a larger room with a Christmas pattern wall scroll along the upper walls and snow, candy canes, presents, and a bigger red cricket.
General - Marl'Sinuh
- Summons "Decoys"
- drops a Nano Crystal (Chillyrat) or Gag Nose, probably
- may also drop an old Christmas item
- spawns one last Decoy and a Teleporter on death
Decoy - Marl'Sinuh
- smaller version of the General, with very low health
- as far as I've seen, they don't seem to do much and only take one shot to kill, even from my doctor. Maybe at higher levels they're a threat of some sort, but under level 60, they're barely a nuisance.
- gives the same XP as the General, but no loot
Loot the bug, rest up if necessary, and click the Teleporter lump.
More decorated tunnels and bugs, leading to a suspiciouly large room full of pillars, with just one infested gift hiding behind them.
Another Teleporter lump.
A suspiciously long downward spiral ramp with more bugs... the ship didn't look this tall from the outside... leading to another big room with Christmas wallscroll, central snow pit, hanging snowflake decorations, and on the far side... an alien Christmas tree.
Automated Sentry - Tannen'Bau
- It's a Christmas tree, complete with decorations
- pulses an AoE knockback "bite" to throw melee attackers across the room
- immobile, except for wiggling about
- attacks with Cold nanos
- casts Frostburn, like the bosses of the Frozen Excavation Site
- summons Alien Jubilation System
- drops same loot as the General x2
- leaves behind another Teleporter lump
Alien Jubilation System
- floating red treeball that chases you around the room
- not attackable
- summons Automated Defense System mines
- after a short time, it runs out of power and just falls down
- drops nothing
Automated Defense System
- little grey mines teleported onto the floor under the Jubilation System
- do more reflect damage without even getting attacked than the tree gives XP - triggered by proximity maybe?
- cast Griefer Killer for 50,000 Energy damage - not sure what triggers this
- drop nothing
You can't attack the evil Christmas ornament, so just keep running away until it dies, without stepping on the mines it drops. I hear there's a something like that in alien missions, called a "BoomBall". Then go back to chopping at the tree and watching for the white glow of a Frostburn attack.
And if you do have to lumberjack it in melee range, just stand between the tree and the nearby wall, unless you really enjoy flying across the room. Too many of those in a row while trying to run back to the tree can desync your position so that you'll be "moving" until you zone, which prevents you from casting nanos or sitting to heal. That back wall seems to prevent that.
Collect your presents from the tree, rest and buff up good, and click that next Teleporter lump under the tree for the boss room.
Fleet Admiral - Skroog'Khazoh
- casts Cold nanos
- spawn Alien Corrupted Present bombs around the sides of the room, like the ones Grin'Cha summons
- spawn Gift-Wrapped Warhead at his location, which looks the same, but it's bigger
- summons Alien Jubilation System, same as the one Tannen'Bau summons
- summons Heavily Wrapped Alien Infested Gifts that are allergic to snowballs, just like the ones Grin'Cha summons
- casts Frostburn, like the bosses of the Frozen Excavation Site cast
- drops more Nano Crystal (Chillyrat) and Gag Nose
+ one of his five exclusive items
+ three or so old Christmas items
one last teleporter out to /waypoint 838 1523 791, right in front of the destroyed destroyer.
