Yes you do get credit for the ones who get killed by other monsters.

Just did Sunqua Vale with 131 kills. I also noticed that there were already a few dead (the Yetti vs. Tengu battles in the mountains), and we still managed to get Vanquisher there.

Mirror of Lyss: 167
Old Ascalon (for me): 268

Davros Uitar · Apr 20, 2007, 10:58 AM // 10:58

Mirror of Lyss 168 for me - I think there will be different numbers of spawn per group though, so the totals won't be exactly the same for everyone and there will be some minor variation.

Pop ups do count, but only after they popped up. I was doing plains of Jarin and had the bar almost full (needed only one more insect which I missed earlier), but every time I got near a pop up place for mandragor my progress bar went back a little untill I killed them.

Mine was 270

Arkjok Ward 345
Took about 3 hours with hero/henches and got almost 2,500 ss due to all the bosses.

Pongmei Valley - 160 even.

To be honest, it didn't seem that much harder than normal Pongmei. I also noticed that Bosses seem to be about the same, and generally weaker than the rest of the mobs. This is because, I think, that all the other mobs have better skill bars (like warriors carried Triple Chop, Cyclone Axe, Watch Yourself, and Furios Axe), while the bosses have their usual boss skillbars, and ho-hum AI. The increased levels seem to do little to nothing for the defense and life of a boss, either. Maybe thats because they are naturally buffed because of their aura or something, and receive no benefit to the hard mode enhancements.

The only trouble we came across were the concentrated groups of Jade Brotherhood, and the handful of Afflicted (with their increased damage explosions).

Lafayette · Apr 20, 2007, 11:37 AM // 11:37

I got 158 in Pongmei Valley.

Maybe some variations are due to pop ups, if the pop ups only count when they appear on map. People may find more or less than others, like the Crowns in Old Ascalon.

[EDIT: 34, Saoshang Trail.]

NF
The Alkali Pan - 301
Cliffs of Dohjok - 119

Factions
Shadow's Passage - 14
Saoshang Trail - 34

Prophecies
Scoundrel's Rise - 68

I wonder about Wajjun Bazaar. What if you have the quest active where half that map is friendly, does that decrease the amount you have to kill as well?

Havoc of PhoeniX · Apr 20, 2007, 12:37 PM // 12:37

I was wondering the same thing, whether quests have the same effect on hard mode maps as they do on normal ones.

Shadows Passage - 8 (Bugged?)

Saoshung Trail - 34

This is probably my favorite part of the update. I always did enjoy going into a region by myself and killing every last thing out there (good stress reliever!), now I can actually get a title credit for it!

I haven't played much yet. I didn't get the update until 11pm last night and I had to get up and go to work this morning at 6am. I fooled around with it for a bit.

I only have hard mode open for Factions so far. I tried Minister Cho's Estate.
Got killed by his zoo. Next I bought a lockpick and explored the Boreas Seabed area and Pongmei Valley area. I agree with an earlier poster, the Valley didn't seem that much harder. I used my lockpick on a chest there and got a Jade Staff with some nice stats.

I'll work on the Vanquisher title some tonight and also try to unlock hard mode for Prophecies. I've made it to Abbadon's Mouth with M/B completed on all missions up to there, so I know I'm close to unlocking it.

Celestial_Kitsune · Apr 20, 2007, 12:48 PM // 12:48

Traveler's Vale: 167

Dragou Du Porzan · Apr 20, 2007, 02:17 PM // 14:17

Sunqua Vale: 133.

I should also add that pop-ups did count towards this total. I don't know if you'd be able to complete an area without activating all the pops.

EDIT: Actually I just doublechecked and I have a screenshot of it too, 195 on my screenshot of plains of jarin done.

I guess it varies because I had to kill 206 ..

i don't ever want to see that place again... EVER!

Old Ascalon - 265.

I swear the when hupe popup popped, progress got set back a bit by two or three pixels. It seems that popups dont count till popped.

UnbiasedGamer · Apr 20, 2007, 03:47 PM // 15:47

Perdition Rock - 220 something

I can't figure out whats included or not.

Witman's Folly. I had 108 kills and gained it, killed every single foe i saw including popups and a few Bears.

Pongmei Valley. I had 158 kills i think and gained it, yet i still hadn't attacked Meysangs mob yet that were still hidden away. However i had killed a few Bears and decided to kill the Luxons at the res shrine too

Seriously, this title is only available to Warriors, Eles, Necros and Monks. How the f*ck is any profession not in the 'Holy Trinity' suppose to get a group CAPABLE of clearing Tasca's Demise, Sunjuing District or Ice Dome?
