[ How To ] Summon the Sandstone Golem or Fleshcraft Hydra

In the Library of Zoltan Kulle there are golden Lost Pages scattered around the map. The Lost Pages have set spawn locations but take some time to respawn after being collected. They look like this…

When you have collected 5 Lost Pages they will be automatically assembled to make a single Tome. The hero can hold a maximum of 5 Tomes.

In order to make use of a Tome click the right-hand end of the Kulle’s Hidden Chambers quest tracker, i.e. the little square at the end, with a magnifying glass over a page and not the main quest tracker area, as shown below…

This will bring up a Kulle’s Hidden Chambers dialog box…

When you click on Use the game randomly selects from eight possible outcomes, i.e.

  • One of six Kulle’s chambers
  • Sandstone Golem
  • Fleshcraft Hydra

The chances of a boss being spawned is much, much lower than getting a Kulle’s chamber. You may need to make use of many of these tomes before getting a boss.

When a Kulle’s Chamber is generated you will see a portal like this…

When you cause the Fleshcraft Hydra to be spawned, you will see a zone-wide announcement and a quest tracker will appear…

The Fleshcraft Hydra will spawn here…

When you cause the Sandstone Golem to be spawned, you will see a zone-wide announcement and a quest tracker will appear…

The Sandstone Golem will spawn here…

Finding the bosses are easy enough. My problem is getting them to drop the damn ibens stones. My main was made at launch. It was easy. But now years later l’ve made alts. I’ve killed it on every difficulty, in
Group, out of group, on hell 1 and infernos. THEY DO NOT DROP THE IBENS STONES. This seems like a bug. It shouln’t be this hard to do basic start of game progression stuff. What on earth changed from launch to now?

It happened to me too. This bug is really annoying. I have killed the Hydra and the Golem several times in the different levels and I haven’t received the sanctuary stones, even after the latest change it is still broken. Please Someone FIX IT

Yes it’s a bug - I spawned the same Hydra on a secondary character three times as it was the only stone not gained and tried on multiple levels pre-this update. Maybe it’s changed?
I will try with the new update and if the same, this needs to go into bug report.

EDIT:

BUG REPORT LOGGED:

Add me to the list of NOT getting Hydra spawn, I spend 10 hours today just try to spawn Hydra but nothing happen! (Hell 3)

Did you miss this part…

Probably 95% of the player base is in the Inferno difficulties which means that the bosses get summoned way more often there than on the Hell difficulties because more players are using the tomes. Whenever it happens, people tend to shout out in World Chat that the boss is available. So, get to Inferno as soon as you can, and you’ll have more opportunities of getting these bosses.

Yeah, 95% player base on inferno difficulty. That’s another reason I have a hard time to find a proper party/raid to clear Helliquary Hell 3 last boss to unlock Inferno! LMAO, do you believe that other players with paragon 427+ don’t know a sh*t about that boss fight and lay dead pretty much as early stage of the fight? As a Necromancer class I finally soloed that boss on my own after many failed and learned from my mistake.

I finally spawned Hydra on inferno and got the stone! A bunch of botting toon in zone but they really don’t know Hydra spawning right? hahaha! its took me some time to soloed it on Necromancer!
