Why does everyone say Thunderhead Keep is so hard? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

After failing 10+ times when everything crapped out in the keep...:

"Let's run out"

"Stay by Jalis"

"I got the west wall"

"I got the west wall"

"WTF? No one on the west wall?"

...I went at it with my N/Me casting Orders and Backfiring casters. They key is calling your targets for the henchies and order of enemies to attack...jade bows, then casters, then jade warrs, then mantle warrs....bosses LAST...those mofos can tank.

I kept trying it and got fed up with people. I used only henchmen, and on my first try I was doing so well I decided we could do bonus. It was extremely easy with all henchmen and on my first try with them I did mission and bonus. I've never looked at henchmen the sameway since I found out that most people are noobs.

Interestingly, the last time I did it (with a guild member who needed it), it wasn't the group which caused a near-fatal problem...it was King Shorty himself.

We were nearly done. Even the jade boss and come and been defeated. It was while we were congratulating ourselves on handling him that we noticed the king racing down the stairs just as fast as his short little legs would carry him. It caused some consternation:

"Where's that little bastard going?"

"He's heading straight for the east gate! There's still Mursaat there!"

"SOMEBODY GET HIM!!!"

We managed to get our infused selves between him and the remaining Yellow Meanies, and finally our party leader (his comment: "If he dies, I'm going to kill him.") clicked on him and he ran back to his post. But it was a very tense few minutes.

This is the first time I've seen His Shortness behave thusly. Have any of you ever seen this?
