Curse

Cerb inspired me with his Art of Underworld thread. My goal was to clear the Fissure of Woe in Hard Mode as a player with only Hero's and no consumables. I originally intended to try it as myself and 1 Hero but the varying situations that you are presented with in FoW forced a 2nd Hero. I still wonder if it could be done with only the 1 Hero, but I don't think I will be the one to figure it out.

This took me probably over 50 tries, a lot of time, and constant fine tuning of builds and tactics to get it right. The screen-shot is proof that it can be done. I may or may not post an actual walk-through or even the builds themselves.

I can tell you that this was probably the most difficult thing I have ever done in Guild Wars. The Hero-micromanaging, multitasking, and character concentration needed in certain areas is enough to give you a heart attack...

Given my own knowledge of the Underworld, I suspect that this build could solo that in Hard Mode as well (with a few modifications of course). I guess I'll have to sit down and think about it.

This was more for the personal challenge, not the farm. If I had wanted money I'd go actually farm something. The time and effort I would have to put in just to give a general guide is a daunting idea, so don't flame me for not telling all. If you want to know so badly then figure it out for yourselves. Although, I have been looking for one of those new Emerald Blades...lol Temptation may win me over.

Let the speculation begin!

P.S.

Please don't pm me in game and bug me for the builds as I will probably ignore/block you.

yeah it can be done...

can you guess i did it before you did?

anyway, it takes time

but you posting this without sharing builds is pointless

just boasting yourself...

i'll give the builds : one prot monk, one SS necro with splinter, and a tank (best goes for W/E with armor buffs)

You love yourself, we get it. Go flagellate somewhere else.
Post the builds or don't post at all.

Hell, thats one nice job doing that! How long did the run take btw?

I'd be eager to try that

Very good job

QFT. If you love yourself so much, why you don't have a bumper sticker on your car informing strangers about that? Either post build or... Yeah, go away.

Tyla · Apr 04, 2008, 11:31 AM // 11:31

Not posting the build equals either thread deletion or lock I think.

If you're not going to share don't post it.

Pyro maniac · Apr 04, 2008, 11:40 AM // 11:40

gj, though release the builds or put this in screenshot exposition

Sethellington · Apr 04, 2008, 11:41 AM // 11:41

so what you're doing is.... posting a picture and saying you're never going to write a guide for how to do it that's just sad.... the "four horsemen 2 men" thread was followed up by a guide.

vdz · Apr 04, 2008, 11:44 AM // 11:44

this is nothing new.... already cleared FoW with 3 ages ago.

Targuil · Apr 04, 2008, 12:36 PM // 12:36

Sorry but it's builds or lock.

No need to speculate:
600hp+Smite+QZ Ranger

PPl. have done it b4 with this Build. Since Smite and QZ are no probs for heroes this isn't very special.
make a good guide out of it and you may get respect.
But this is just narcistic

Avarre · Apr 04, 2008, 12:53 PM // 12:53

The old way, pre-Factions with Skullcrack/SB-boonprot/SS was far more interesting. Couldn't use heroes for that one, though.

R_Frost · Apr 04, 2008, 01:31 PM // 13:31

lol.........hiding build FTL. not like theres some super rare drop down there. as it was said in other posts, 3 man had been around for a long time. i havent done much FoW since the spirit bond nerf. nothing but crappy 3 attribute drops.

Thierry2 · Apr 04, 2008, 01:38 PM // 13:38

LoL.. there's no point in posting this if you don't want to share the builds.

Masseur · Apr 04, 2008, 02:17 PM // 14:17

Course, since it's only a shot from the side, you can't tell if he's by himself, it appears there is a 2nd player and 2 heros.

luwe80 · Apr 04, 2008, 02:23 PM // 14:23

Thank you for sharing! This will help tremendously!

not

Skinny Corpse · Apr 04, 2008, 02:30 PM // 14:30

Well... congratulations, good job, you're awesome.. and all that..

Uhm, no. Second red bar is an NPC. But still, as Dopefish said, that's nothing special, unless he did something revolutionary (like Mo/W ripostes + nuker or smiter/QZ ranger).

Quru · Apr 04, 2008, 02:34 PM // 14:34

Been there, done that. 3man isn't special. Do FoW HM 2man and then come here to boast. And even then, post builds.

distilledwill · Apr 04, 2008, 02:37 PM // 14:37

GJ

Must be pretty profitable.
