Spawns from (K-8) to (J-9) on the second map of Maze of Shakhrami.

Argus's Spawn Location

Shares a spawn timer with the notorious monster Leech King between 18-30 hours from the last ToD for either Argus or Leech King.

Beginning eighteen hours after their ToD, sixty second windows with intervals of thirty minutes will open. If neither notorious monster spawns during a window, the next one will begin thirty minutes after the start of the previous window.

Not all NM windows open after spawn.

Take Shikigami Weapon. Spawns 20 hours after maint.

Argus is probably similar.

Btw. I'd suggest doing Nyzul Isle floors for Argus really. We had him a total of 3-4 times today in Nyzul Isle, and in the 1/2 times we killed him, we got a PCA. =x

Lemme clear up question. lol. After maintenence today, does Argus start his 18-30 pop time (as in you have to wait maximum 12 hours) or does it act like he was killed at you have to wait at least 18 hours?

I'm guessing its probably you gotta wait 17-18 hours.

But. >.> Is it possible you missed a Leech King/Argus spawn?

TBH, you cant count on Argus to pop during Nyzul floors. I have a runic key, 3/5 askar, and have gone from PFC to mid corporal rank doing nothing but Nyzul runs, and ive never seen Argus inside. Ive seen several NMS there, but the only drop worth mentioning has been from Keeper of Halidom. If you need the gear that badly, just do bcnm "Under Observation" over and over and youll get a PCC. your chances of getting the gear there is much better than finding a competant group for nyzul, finding Argus, and actually getting the drop. Then again camping long windowed NMs has never been my thing.

Lvl 1 /rng even covers the Leech King room?

Its a 18-36 hr spawn I've killed Argus about 9 times and LK 7.

If your not spamming Widescan every 15 secs you can miss it (Quick kill or move to other map).

Can pop immediately after server comes back up, or take up to 18 hours.

I woke up to find that he had not popped, but a long time afk'er, or who we thought was afk, ran to leech king room rq and never came back. We're thinking he killed Leech King, but i wouldn't know. -_- Ty guys for clarification.
