Excellent compilement you have there. I was worried the GB build would fade away with NF. Think you could write a few lines on actually defeating the Elemental boss? The one that drops the hammer. I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to try pull him or just tank the Sandstorms, Ebon Hawks and Stonings. Cheers

Hey man

The rest of the bosses i can understand and appreciate the locations thanks

But the Paragon is something of a mystery to me as it is a ranged attacker, I would assume that ripostes aren't triggered and seeing as they seem to be your only real damage dealer, and the boss is packing some impressive self heals how do you drop him?

Darksong attacks in melee.

But many other non melee bosses can be farmed too. All bosses in Arkjok Ward can be farmed except for the Ritualist Boss. So far in Kourna I have been able to farm all bosses, except Ritualists and some mesmers. Just switch out Bonetti's and Sprint with sever artery (or barbarous slice) and gash. Keep up Dolyak, keep them bleeding and use gash as main damage. Use GB when around 50-100 hp.

Great list there man good job!

Just out of curiousity would someone be able to show me the method of using henchman and then sending them back? I understand the general concept but when I myself try it I am unsuccessful. I would just like to see some else do it as that's how I learn best.

My IGN is Sergio Leone if anyone is interested. Thanks in advance!

Check guild wiki, or just press M in game. Chances are you have these places mapped, since most are in Kourna. I take henchies to kill the group, then send them off and solo the boss. Makes it very easy.

Once the mob is killed, open your mini map. Click on the button that flags the henchies, then click anywhere far away from where you are on the mini map. They'll run there.

Send the hench in an kill the sandstorms, leave the boss an send then hench out of the radar until there names are greyed out, then just kill the boss.


And Thanks for answering everyones questions, Arkantos. I was away at work all day :P

What I said was based on my assumption that Darksong was using a spear.

You learn something new every day huh

Sandstorms are cool, they deal damage. I'll let you think about that for a min...

Yes, there is this skill on your bar called GB. and still, if you're taking to much dmg dont attack, effectively halving the damage.

There is still a chance that the item will drop for a heros even if they are far away right? If this is true, why not use them to kill the boss faster?

Did that because it would just clutter up more up of the screen.

Yes I take the hench with me to clear everything around the boss takes 2-3mins at most, then I send them away.

Nope, notice the exp im getting from the boss being killed? 350-400exp, only thing the hench would get is the money if any drops, that always divdes with the party no-matter how far you are away.

I'd do it, but GuildWiki is acting up atm, takes 10 mins to load 1 page. For now if you get GuildWiki working just type the Weapon in search for GuildWiki an it will come up, I'll add the stats to the thread later. You could also type the name of the Weapon in Guru's Search, it should come up with something.

As well with location, just type that in GuildWiki it will come up with the nearest town.

Update: Added 9 more bosses to the list:

Onwan, Lord of the Ntouka (Warrior Boss)
Tundoss the Destroyer (Ranger Boss)
Terob Roundback (Necro Boss)
Modti Darkflower (Necro Boss)
Neoli the Contagious (Mesmer Boss)
Wandalz the Angry (Paragon Boss)
Eshau Longspear (Paragon Boss)
Lieutenant Shagu (Paragon Boss)
Briahn the Chosen (Paragon Boss)

Hey, is that Slade Kiron I see on your guild chat? He was in my guild for awhile, and it was my fault that he left... Tell him I'm sorry.

And thanks for the list.. now I just gotta get my warrior up to those places before Friday rolls around.
