Although nowhere near as impressive, Helgcham in Carn Dûm drops a barrel with a tentacle hanging out of it. The tentacle twitches every now and again, which amused us greatly the first time we saw it, especially as our characters were quite drunk at the time (too many kegs in our kinship house methinks).

The Stoop does have a tentacle pond..go see and dangle! But not as fun as having one in your own front garden I reckon

The Watcher fight is a fun one, and still can be quite challenging even for level 65s (it is a level 60 raid). And I also think it is another example of what we’ll hopefully get more of in the future with the F2P announcement in that it has been tweaked a few times since launch. Hopefully all the raids going forward will get some attention to at least fix some of the bugs if not scale them to the level cap somehow.

I’ve always burned out around level 30 when I’ve played Lotro in the past. The new model is probably ideal for me, I’ll push on in little bits when not interested in playing anything else and see if one day too I can have my own pool with tentacle. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a cooler raid drop (although the Phoenix Mount from Tempest Keep is equally cool).

P.S. The Turtle Nornúan and the Watcher fight have something in common… now please imagine Boromir going nuts in Osgiliath, happy as a kid http://bit.ly/dxrVgw and listen to this Hammerfall song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9Sy25mx2U8 from 01:02 and you know that the Champion class was solely created to “clobber” and “ching-ching” evil mobs with AoE attacks!

Your guild might already have a tentacle pond in the yard. Or go find one in the housing instances. Then let arbitrary take screenshots how it grabs and flings your around. This is especially funny with dwarves and hobbits.

That sounds fab! I have only just dipped my toe back into Lotro – things like that encourage me to dive in and level
