Heres a small update for this run..a few people have been asking about the consumable side to this and why I say you should bring them..so I'll go into a little more depth with that.

First though I thought I'd point out the random chest spawn that sometimes happens in the first area of FoW.

You'll notice the small area with four Monks walking around in it..sometimes you get a chest spawning in there.Now be advised when you enter that area you'll get 3 Shadow Beasts that pop up in there.Basically all you need to do is find a window between the patrols that circle there and run in a pop the nightmares..run back to where I'm showing in the screenshot and they will the Monks will break aggro and leave the Beasts to attack you.

From there just SS them and when dead run back in and grab the chest..wait for a window and run back out after that.

So clearing to the Forgemaster is a little tricky and I hinted on how to drag mobs into each other and clear it alot easier that trying to micro.I'll get back to this in a minute..but as you can see just find mobs that you can drag into these guys and sneak in for a Spiteful Spirit on an Abys ..maybe a Parasite as well on another.

For now I'll start with Consumables and the Smoke Waters/Hydra.There is a little nub area where you can skirt into as shown below..just take out the mobs around here of Ethers and Icehands etc.

By this point of the run the enter plains should be clear now except for the Lichs near the tents..I'll get to them in a minute.

For now use the Consumables I have outlined earlier..swap to the higher HP setup and remove your enchantments.You should target the Hydra while your Warriors should target a Smoke Water.If all goes well the Hydra will lock onto you kill them off.The Raptor will be quite effective here also.Just be aware that if Meteor Shower starts to rain..you may have to manually move your Hero out of the way..just to be sure.Also Dunkoro should be set to Guard at this point.

After they are dead you can move in more and kill the three Ancient Skales lurking about..move in further and you'll see Miso..if you wait long enough a group of Abyssals will enter and take care of the mob in the side..pick and choose what you kill here..pull and kill.

Back to the Liches..you'll get some pop up Rangers near where the Dragon Liches are..so taking into account there will be basically three enemies you'll have to take care of..Ranger Ether and Lich..you'll want to target in this order..You target the Lich and cast SS/IP repeatedly..target the Ether with your Warriors..then target the Ranger with Warriors..at this point you should be able to heal yourself and hold the Lich on your own..It's the same stradegy for the second Lich..target the same way and decimate.

After that you can run over and take the Forgemaster Quest..pull the first mob of Shadows and Abyssal out a little and target the Abyssals with your Warriors..everyone should target the Abyssals actually..kill them..pick and pull your way through from here..targeting the Monks with the Warriors and Mesmers you can SS/IP..cast the odd SS on a monk to.Your Raptor or whatever Cons may die at this point.I've been trying to get more Screens of working my way into the Forgemaster and hopefully I'll post soon enough.It seems that fighting the Mes/Monk groups works alot better when you have the high hp anyways.

So like I said , I'll try and post some more clearing and maybe some Quests if anyone is interested in this.
