Are Henchman Infused??? - Guild Wars Forums

JediKnight · Mar 02, 2006, 07:05 PM // 19:05

As the title says, are henchman infused?

The reason I'm asking is I have tried to do the Ice caves bonus 3 times now.
Each group says "yeah yeah we are doing bonus join us" they then refuse to do bonus. 1 group we even voted 5-3 to do bonus but other 3 refused point blank to do it.

So if henchman are infused then I will try it using them coz I am getting really annoyed with groups who lie just to get you onboard.

They are not infused untill you get to the sear.
So if you want to do the bonus then go to the sear and kill Edelion to get the Essense and infuse. You will also notice that the henches are getting infused as well.
After you are done then just go and do the bonus.

"In the "Iron Mines of Moladune" mission, henchmen now become infused when your team gives the Spectral Essence to the Seer."

JediKnight · Mar 02, 2006, 07:39 PM // 19:39

ok.

I have done the Iron mines mission & am infused.
Does this mean that the henchmen in Ice caves are now infused, as this mission is before the iron mines mission in which you become infused?

Forgive the dumbness, but I want to be sure before I set off coz apparantly you have to fight Mursaat on your way thru the bonus.

This is not true. I have tried this many, many times, before 'patch' and after, and they have never become infused with me. Not when I was fully infused already, and not when I wasn't infused at all.

And no, the henchmen are not infused at Ice Caves no matter what.

ERMC · Mar 02, 2006, 08:13 PM // 20:13

they only become after the Essence is given to the Seer so everything before that they are uninfused. They are not infused everything pre iron mines that is why your current hench are replaced with the Story line characters after the iron mines. Even if you are infused and go back to pre iron mines that will not effect the current hench in that area because from the games point of view they have not reached that area yet.

Former Ruling · Mar 02, 2006, 09:52 PM // 21:52

So no, the Ice Caves henchies are not infused.

The Iron Mines hencheis are not infused but you CAN infuse them during the mission unlike Ice Caves.

AFter that they are infused.

And to the other guy - the henchies DO INFUSE now, becuase I've used henchies to beat the mission on 2 new characters...

master_ranger_matt · Mar 02, 2006, 10:37 PM // 22:37

infused from THK onward, or the end of iron mines whne you yourself get infused.

AeroLion · Mar 02, 2006, 10:55 PM // 22:55

Even after they're infused in Iron Mines, it can sometimes be buggy. Stefan, especially, seems to be prone to not being as infused as the rest of the henchies. YMMV.

True, storyline. We know nothing about Spectral Agony except it hurts alot in Ice Caves. Only after that cut scene in Iron Mines (which is after Ice Cave of Sorrow), do we know who to kill and what to bring back for whatever the heck "infusion" is.

JediKnight,

I've done the Ice Cave bonus with 7 henchies for 2 characters and still need it for four more. If you like some help, pm me or look me up ingame. Yes, even my yule cap of minor cursing is infused.

Rayne Nightfyre · Mar 02, 2006, 11:03 PM // 23:03

Yes, from the point in which you get infused in Iron Mines of Moladune, and also from the start of Thunderhead Keep.

Hey JediKnight, if you're still looking for someone to tag along with you for that bonus, 5/6 of my characters need it, as well as several of my guild members. So either PM me via this site, or in-game, and we'll set up a time.

drowningfish999 · Mar 02, 2006, 11:09 PM // 23:09

I actually completed the bonus using all henchies on my R/N. Its not really that hard as long as you focus targets.

No, they're not actually infused. You can finish the mission with them anyway, sure, since there's only about a total of 10 or so Mursaat that you -have- to fight, and even uninfused henches can take them down.

I'm sorry, I confused ice caves with Iron mines.

YES, in Ice caves they are not infused so to do the bonus you have to wait for the Mursat to pass the cave you are in to talk to the bonus guy.

So basically in Ice caves ALWAYS avoid the Mursat.

As for Iron Mines, according to Anet and the Patch they should be infused when the player hands the Essense to the sear.

If you notice the small animation that happens around your character when you get infused you can notice that it happens around the henches as well

Sorry for the confusion.

NatalieD · Mar 03, 2006, 03:15 AM // 03:15

When I did Iron Mines the other day, it seemed as though the henchies were not infused after we gave the Seer the stuff, but did become infused after dying and then being rezzed.

JediKnight · Mar 03, 2006, 10:20 AM // 10:20

Thanx for all the offers for help guys.
I managed to join a PUG last night and not only did we do Ice Caves bonus, but we stayed together and did Iron Mines bonus as well as THK mission & bonus.
It was an awesome group & the only person to die was me (sorry) during THK.

CorstedPirate · Mar 03, 2006, 10:40 AM // 10:40

It seems to me as if they do not become infused during that mission. Maybe I just haven't tried it in a while, I don't know. I hate that groups insist on going in the front, and tell me that I am wrong when I even say there is a back way in. The back way is easier to explore through imo, even with unifused henchies. Still haven't managed to do that bonus, gonna wait till my frost set is done, so I can get it infused. Some things are so much easier with henchmen. One of these days I am gonna take henchmen out to explore that area in the THK mission around the keep. That should be fun.
