Going for Tyrian Protector, I need some tricks for Dunes of Despair's bonus H/H. Did some researsh on the wikis, ghosty died. I'm asking for h/h tips, as most of my friends are barely playing and I'm guildless.

The most common thing to do, is to:

1) Bring a long bow, vampiric weapon(s), and Necrotic Transversal/Consume Corpse and Rebirth/Unyeilding Aura
2) "park" the ghosty outside the temple,
3) go and kill everything,
4) go to the southeastern exit (closest to the bosses), you should be able to pull a scarab or the boss's group via long/flatbow.
5) Kill something, Necrotic Transversal over there, have rest of the team die via vampiric weapon
6) Rebirth everyone to the other side
7) go kill bosses.

This trick is also used for mapping the area

Go secondary necro and take Necrotic Traversal. Leave the Ghostly Hero outside after he lowers the bridge. Clear the Enchanted in the middle and flag your H&H up by the south gate, overlooking the bonus area. If you're lucky, a Scarab will pop up outside the wall near enough for you to kill it, or one of the foes with the nearby boss will come close enough to aggro. (Be sure you have a longbow with you to pull any Scarabs or foes in range.) Once you've killed something, use Necrotic Traversal to get outside. Run around the east side of the compound and head north, until your H&H are off the radar. Unflag them and they will miraculously come join you. Then take all the time you want to finish the bonus and/or map the area for cartography.

However, you will probably have to run the first part of this mission several times before something comes close enough to the wall for you to kill it. I think I ran it 7 or 8 times before I got a Scarab to pop up for me.

use the necro corpse exploition method and you should be golden, i have tried the unflag hero and they join thing so i dont know if it works other wise your gonna have to either bring rebirth and or scrolls.

The old trick-the-timer trick, eh? Thank for the tip I guess.
Now let's see if I can't 2man-hero it.

The NT/CC trick works best. This mission is easy to h/h as the flag-unflag trick works beautifully. You need to be outside the radar range before it will work, a pain to be sure since there are scarabs everywhere however even if you die outside radar range I've found the heroes pop up nicely to res you.

I'm not sure how well this trick works with two players in the team though I think it is generally accepted that it only works for 1 man (5 hh) teams.
