I have a R/M so my skills went like this hunters shot, dual shot, kindle arrow, whirling defense, healing breeze, dodge, winter, and finally rebirth. The enemies vary in this mission and I would use winter for the Lava Imps and I used healing breeze because it is faster than troll urgent.

I also used scale armor for my torso and legs since most elemental magic is fire and it mostly hits these areas, I also only infused those two pieces. My gloves and boots were druid for the small energy boost. I had a superior mark, minor expertise, minor wild, and a major vigor. I also used my cold mx dmg half moon with improved dmg vs hex and with a fortitude grip +21. It is also important to have done both attribute bonus quests for the extra 30 pts come in handy. I also did not pick the archer hench because I filled that hole and the others seemed more up to this task.

#1. I rush the mursaat killing the monks first. This always turns into a running battle to the left and my hunters shot came in handy here.

#2.Then you need to go up the middle to take out one group of shade and then go left to draw in the second group and finally all the way back right to draw in the final group of shade. They have invisible aggro lines which crossed will put them into motion. Then you can take out the two mobs of mursaat individually.

#3. This is the first check point and I finally found out you can bypass it alltogether by running along the left cliff while the shade archers are at the base of the check point (cp). They will eventually come out and you may decide to take out one or two or continue to bypass.

#4. Now you come to the drakes and a few shadow monkies as I call them. You can bypass the drakes by taking the first left and this also bypasses the trolls and the bonus mission of infusing another pc of armor.

#5. Now you come to the lava pool with trolls wandering about. I used my longbow here with my healing breeze and jumped into the lava and pulled the 1st mob towards me. Then I would rest and then go after any other troll mobs in the area.

#6. Now you come to the 2nd cp and this one can be difficult. Sometimes the boss is way in front of the cp so u can pull him and other times he's not. If he is alone kill him, if he is with the shade archers at the cp then I used dodge and would run right through it. If you lose someone, rebirth will come in handy here.

#7. Here is the cutscene and the halfway pt. You just fight through the eye monsters and follow the path to the spiders.

#8. WARNING: You must pull one mob at a time here or you will get overran. The only exception is two mobs are soooo close you usually have no choice but to take both on and as long as the boss spider is already taken care of you should be okay. My kindle arrow in combination with dual shot comes in handy here, and Whirling defense and healing breeze helped also of course.

#9. The lava imps. I used winter here and it saved my but. Along with going to the right and taking on one group at a time. Note: This turns into a huge battle because the other mobs wander into the battle, so timing is everything here. Also my anti-fire armor helped here. Now work your way around and do a loop back to the left. I recommend this technique so now your back is covered and you dont have to worry about being ambushed while you fight the final two mobs. After this you come to a lava pool and more imps. I rushed the enemy so my henchies would all be on dry land and then continue the fight. This part was the trickiest and all my henchies died and I was left standing amid a pile of carnage all alone....rebirth.

After that its a cake walk. I hope that helps, I'm going to replay it soon anyways because of an elite skill that needs capturing so my memory may be improved in a day or two. Good Luck
