Please share infos on missions' challenges or bonus.

for example, i would like to know Vizunah Square (foreigner)'s secret challenge objective.

I completed this mission twice with a time of 31 minutes.

Do you think i'll get the bonus if i clear it under 30 minutes?

I checked out Nahpui Quater and it seems that you get the bonus if your party kill all four spirits at the same time?

I've heard that you have to complete Vizunah Square in under 20 minutes to get the maximum completion level. Honestly... that seems a little extreme. I don't know if it's even possible.

But maybe these perfect completion levels were MEANT to be a great challenge?

The two on Shing Jea were easy.. but come on, it's like a newbie zone..

First time I succeeded this mission we did it in 29,58 minutes and we recieved the 2nd sword bonus. Third bonus I believe is 25 minutes but I dont know for sure.

wait... there are more than one bonus?

just how many swords can you get on a single "Shield"?

Shinshi · May 01, 2006, 09:37 AM // 09:37

3

One left one right and one red in the middle
I got first mission with ritualist on noobie land like that

coop here doesn't work like tyrian ones... in tyria u had the first sword completing the mission and the second sword completing the bonus. in cantha you get 1, 2 or 3 swords. the less time it takes u to complete the mission the better

is that applicable for all canthan missions?

If so, does that mean that there's no mission-specific hidden or bonus objectives like in Tyria?

i think so... as far as I am in the game these were the prequisites (i got only 2 gold-rated missions - it doesnt matter 'cause i'm in cantha with mine Tyrian character so I can't do all the missions)

nope - bonuses are all time-based

no bonus. that's sure.

Veneficus · May 01, 2006, 02:02 PM // 14:02

Also some missions the Master Sword is under 20mins, others its under 25mins.

skretth · May 01, 2006, 04:19 PM // 16:19

master for imperial sanctum is under 2 minutes
expert is under 3 minutes

MasterDinadan · May 05, 2006, 08:09 AM // 08:09

Someone told me that the time requirement for the mission you do to become Closer to the Stars is so low that the only feasible way to tackle it is to split up your party and take out all 4 bosses at once...
Is that really necessary?

I've never even gotten second level of completion for this mission.

Permasiel · May 05, 2006, 08:13 AM // 08:13

I got master for Vizunah square in something like 21 minutes, so I'd wager it's for under 25.

23 minutes IIRC my best, got master. Betting on 25 minutes as well.

Apparently not all bonuses are time based. Gyala Hatchery seems to award swords according to how many turtles you have left (said '5 turtles survived', then dropped in Master's award, ie none of the turtles died)

I'm still in favor of removing the 'rushing award' and change it to no players died etc awards.

bitchbar player · May 05, 2006, 10:38 AM // 10:38

agree with kaguya, turtles or tree singers need to be saved for 3 swords. So not all are time based.

Agree on removing the rush bonusses.

Francis Crawford · May 06, 2006, 11:48 AM // 11:48

Can one redo a mission to get more swords on the repeat?

Sir Mad · May 06, 2006, 12:51 PM // 12:51

Yes, it's like bonus in Tyria. Even if you only have one sword, you can redo the mission to get the 2nd/3rd sword.

SirShadowrunner · May 09, 2006, 03:40 PM // 15:40

Got three swords in the Arborstone mission yesterday, I think we did it in
23:47, took the middle route, I would avoid the right path, has drudge on it,
was using my warrior, with a flurry/cleave/pene. blow build......

I was trying to find a place that told how the swords/medals were awarded. Thanks for posting that!
