Heres a link to a thread I found about a possible new HNM... It looks like bs, but maybe someone can confirm it for me?

Convo with SS:

ClrvyntDisease: Know of any mythological stuff with the name amelthia?
PRSguitars03: Amalthia?
ClrvyntDisease: Possibly
ClrvyntDisease: Apparently there is a new HNM that's called Amalthia and I was wondering if it was anything related to mythology to see if it was real or not
PRSguitars03: Amalthia was the goat from which Zeus drank milk from while being raised by the nymphs

So it's possibly real, because most HNM/Gods/ect are named after something from mythology. If you read the replies someone said it was a Ram HNM, close enough to a goat imo. I wouldn't doubt this. Who would do that much research to create a hoax?

Hmm interesting... I'm more interested in what it drops... If it does indeed drop cashmere, it sounds pretty hot. but relic shield being the pop item might be a pain. someone hurry up an kill it! I wanna know!

the guy saying its for real is also reporting that "oryu" is also in the game now. dont think ill believe someone whose mispelling a mobs name thats been in the game for months and months and reporting it just now. the only way to kill him is to shield bash with the new relic shield just makes the whole thing sound even more like bullshit heh.

I dunno, could a mix of false and true news. the shield bash kill thing does sound extreme, but some of the posts look pretty legit... but hey, theres only one way to find out for sure. someone needs to go pop it.

I believe it's real. You trade the relic shield to the "???" to pop an NM. The NM drops an item used to upgrade the relic shield supposedly.

Amaltheia Hide
Amaltheia Leather

its probably just a lottery from the rams in Lufaise to be a harder version of bloodtear/steelfleece. I really have no idea though.

Mrukk went there today, and the ??? does ask you to trade an ancien shield.

I guess the nm pop is true, but about the drop...hard to say =/

I wonder if they will add some relic armor like that for everybody, would be nice if the only requirement are a bunch of popped NM

I think you guys should go kill it so I can see =P

So the ram HNM drops leather to upgrade the dynamis shield and has a ??? pop in Lufaise meadows.. and there is a giga HNM that pops when you trade a hickory shield to a ??? in miseareax coast for another shield that has STR+5, Evade+3 ,Enhances all "Killer Effects" from what this thread says anyway. Sound like some interesting new NMs, maybe my speculation about the update sucking was premature.

Yeah, we killed it tonight. He is a freaking BEAST. Called all the Tavnazian Rams and Tavnazian Sheeps in the zone to him constantly. Got Almatheia Hide (pretty sure it's for relic shield upgrade?).

Anyone know if you need only this hide for the first upgrade?

This one look cool! I hope we do dyn-jeuno soon :P I wonder if they have low chance to drop something else.

Rubyxiii · **Posted:** Sun May 01, 2005 3:37 am

ok peoples exaggerations made me think it was bs but it is real heh. thing i dont get is apparantly you dont get the shield back after you use it to pop him but he drops the hide to upgrade the shield, seems pretty fucking retarted to me haha

Eromenos · **Posted:** Sun May 01, 2005 6:22 am

well id assume its rare marked that means you can only bring one shield to go get your leather to upgrade it and would have to go back to dynamis and reget another shield, hence my calling it retarted

New HNM?
