A chat bind? I don't think that a giant zombie has much to say .

Anyway, Adamastor is really easy to detect, even underground, if you just make a quick demofile. Just type /demorecord Where's_Adamastor (or any other file name), open up the file (it'll be in the client_demos folder of the CoH folder), and search on Adamastor, and if he's within 3/4 of a mile of your character, he'll show up in the file. The POS line near his name will give the exact /loc.

Notepad, wordpad or any other text file program.

From windows start menu->Programs->Accessories->Notepad or Wordpad

From there you can either drag the file onto the program or go through the file menu->Open

Then just hit Control+F, type in adamastor, and hit enter.

You'll then find a chunk of text similar to this:

Code:
0   1380 NEW Adamastor
0   1380 NPC Giant_Pantheon
0   1380 POS 2093.5 42 2571
0   1380 PYR 0 -1.570796 -0
0   1380 MOV GROUNDBURST_SLEEP 0
The actual numbers will vary. If it says GROUNDBURST_SLEEP then that means it has spawned hidden, and won't appear until a hero gets near it. The text you want to look at is the line with POS in it, in this case POS 2093.5 42 2571. That's its /Loc. See this wiki article for help with interpreting the numbers.

Notepad. Or any word processor that can search for a text string.

Don't Giant Monsters like Adamastorbator pop up at very long ranges?

Also, there should be a zone event message saying he's showed up. Keep an eye on your server's badge channel as well.

Some do. Adamastor shows up from about 3/4 of a mile away. You can target it (if you have line of sight) from that distance. Kraken, on the other had, has an extremely short distance that it can be seen and targeted. If the Kraken decides to run, you can lose target on it if it runs far enough, which causes some people to believe that it has despawned. It always comes back to spawn site eventually though.

A similar thing happens with the Halloween Eochai. The pumpkins that spawn around it can be seen and show up in the demo files from a greater distance than Eochai itself can be seen. Sometimes while making the Halloween spawn site maps on the wiki, I would find a whole list of pumpkins spawns, but no sign of Eochai until I got closer to it in the game.
