Curse

I ran in with me as a Mind Blast infinite energy nuker, Vekk as a generic SF nuker, Dunkoro with WoH, Master of Whispers as an MM (yes, useless in this case) and i believe Herta, Mhenlo, Lina, and Talon Silverwing.

We only had a bit of trouble until I figured out which undead should be the first target called (clerics or some such, I can't quite remember) and then we carved through them with ease.

I did it as monk with arcane echo+ray of judgement. Each nuke does 220 aoe, so you start out doing 440 dmg to every mob in the group :>.

I have done it and got a stupid wand from the end boss called Fendi's Rod.

My suggestion will be to use:

1. Smiter
2. Ele with SF/SH
3. Paragon with Song of Purification

I have done with another friend and heroes. The boss is sorta stupid and the dungeon is lengthy and repetitive. Other than that it is very much henchable.

Success!!!

Took a Smiter, the Dervish hero and me as a Splinter/Barrage and made it through. I will say this, for those of you used to obliterating everything in a zone (like me), THAT is a tactic you might want to change, that was the secret for me, is that many of the mob group can be avoided. Only had one wipe en route and it got me to a rez shrine that was ahead of me.

I cleared it today after about an hour spent on the boss..since I didn't know what I had to do at first.
Anyways I had one of the most messed up builds ever. Since there are plenty of sorcerer's, melee is silly. So my build for myself (war) and my heroes.

Me:
Signet of Judgement,
Bane Signet,
Symbol of Wrath,
Endure Pain (not totally needed, saved me a few times),
Dolyak Signet,
Holy Wrath (again, only used on the boss),
Light of Deldrimor
Great Dwarf Armor. 16 Str, 9 Axe and 10 Smite.

Acolyte Sousuke:
Savannah Heat,
Mark of Rodgort,
Fireball,
Liquid Flame,
Meteor Shower,
Fire Attunement
Glyph of Lesser Energy with Rez Chant.

Zhedd:
Balth's Aura (really useful),
Ray of Judgement,
Scourge Enchantment (awesome),
Spear of Light,
Smite Hex,
Grasping Earth (for when wars got past me, used grasping then aura),
Glyph of Lesser
Rez Chant.

Vekk:
Shield of Regen
Balth's Aura
Smite Condition
Smite Hex
Extinguish
Aegis
Glyph of Lesser and Rez Chant

Cynn
Mhenlo
Lina
Herta.

I cleared the first 2 floors rather fast, around 25-30 minutes (which is about as long as it takes me in every dungeon), they died extremely fast usually under 20 seconds, if there was no priest. The boss was hard for me as I didn't know the trick to beating him at first. But I got him down eventually. If you're running a warrior..Smitetanking works wonders, probably not as good as other things but worked well for me since I couldn't attack anyways.

I have to say I had no real issues with this dungeon, aside from near the end. But I soon realised that you can just run past the two pillars and the group of undead and run to the portal.

Just focus on the preists and clerics and take an MM and you shud be fine. Although I do use 3 monks and myself and another SF ele nuker.

ogden as a mo-me signet of judgement smiter ftw

thedeadwalk! · Sep 05, 2007, 10:36 PM // 22:36

I ran my three monk heroes with this smiter build:

Signet of Mystic Wrath
Signet of Judgment
Castigation Signet
Smite Condition
Mystic Regeneration
Retribution
Balthazar's Spirit
Resurrection Signet

I had Eve, Herta, and the two monk henches with me running a Dwarven Battle Stance warrior with "You Move like a Dwarf!" It was a piece of cake.

Reflect · Sep 05, 2007, 10:45 PM // 22:45

All u must have is 1 RC monk, as there are loads of blind bots
what else i ussed?
Barrager Ranger with EoE
SH ele(normal SH spike HA build)
Mhenlo, Lina, Cynn, Herta

Fionn Falaich · Sep 06, 2007, 03:39 AM // 03:39

I set two heroes to heavy smiting damage and one to half smite/half protect, then Mhenlo, Lina, Cynn, and Herta. I was a fire ele with Light of Deldrimor - which, in addition to letting you find very mediocre "treasure" and/or frail ghost allies, does fairly good aoe holy damage. If a mob has both clerics and priests, get the clerics first. Everything was easy until the end boss. Most of us were +5% to +10% by the end, except for Zhed and Sousuke (my smiters) who really like to leeroy the worst mobs imaginable, despite being set to guard.

But the end boss Fendi is a rather unpleasant fellow. I finished him eventually, but it was long, frustrating, boring, and a little ridiculous. Fendi himself was not much, if you survive his spikes, but his ghost form was very resistant to damage. At the time I was wishing I had brought a nice domination/interrupt mesmer, but alas. Any suggestions on how to deal with him better than chipping away at him a few hp's at a time (with a build that can get to him)?

GaladrielMoloch · Sep 06, 2007, 03:51 AM // 03:51

Done it twice so far w/o any holy damage, though a Smitter monk w/Judge's Insight or R/Mo Holy Barrager would do well.

First group (hero/hench):
R/W stance tank
Dunkoro LoD
Zhed Warder
Xandra Spirit Army
Healer Hench
Prot Hench
Fire Hench
Mesmer Hench

2nd group (2PC/hero)
R/W stance Tank PC
Xandra Spirit Army
Dunkoro LoD
Vekk SF
R/Rt Prep shot PC
Tahlk Prot
Vekk Warder
Morghan Party Support wiki Build

Took a long time for both of them and wouldn't do it again other than for Dungeon Guide.

That link has a few basic tips but isn't really comprehensive. Also, anti-KD is really good here, so "I am the strongest", drunk PvE skills, and Ward of Stability are very nice.

Cornering him is nice, get him against a wall and put three people around him and he continues to spawn. Ghost form and crew members spawn in same spot, though the archers run around a bit, but never really focus that much damage. If you can interrupt both Fendi and his ghost form's FoC, usually your party heal is enough to cover, just keep chipping away.
