Quite a few peeps still doing the quest. Just need to get lucky with PUGs...
At that, Cyndr goes down in quite literally 2-3 seconds if you bring ANY two buddies+youself to drop kegs on him and pound on him...

Oh and biggest rule of being in a PUG- DON'T shove people into how you do or how you think things should be done correctly. The only thing you need to instruct them how to do (if they're not already doing it) is the Keg dropping (the important parts).

I've tried this mish so many times by myself, with non-toucher classes, and failed many times.
Really, you should try making friends.
Or talking to people.

melee can stop it from using its siege as long as no viable targets are within range it just bites melee
ootv gb and a w/e with frigid ar, sav slash to rupt, sev art+gash can kill it kinda easy

Beaten him twice and been beaten several more times.

The times I beat him he spawned close to the entrance so maybe that is the secret of doing it with AI help.

Never tried it in hard mode though with pain inverter and a decent human party it shouldn't be a problem.

Last night I finally beat the Aurora Glade mission from Prophecies, so at least I'm making some progress. (I wasn't focusing enough on the runners, so they were getting through to the last shrine, until yesterday.)

After that, I went back to try the Heart of the Shiverpeaks mission again but quit for the night when the undead mobs were tougher than usual. My question: does the game scale in difficulty, or was I just having an off night? I don't usually have so much trouble getting through the several levels before Cyndr. (I guess I'll have to recheck my group also; maybe some of my henchmen and heroes weren't strong enough.)

You can avoid most of the undead mobs. When you first zone into the dungeon make a hard right (Northwest direction on the map). There a tunnel where you will fight a few mobs of spiders. After that you will have to fight a few undead. In the next big room with the bunches of chained clerics, you can just run right by them; just be sure your heroes don't walk into the cold jet on the far side of the room. After that the entire dungeon is really easy, just fighting skelks and few ruby djinn on the last level.

Just wanted to say that I've killed Cyndr with two different characters now, and it's almost become routine. I used Pyre, Ogden, and Livia (along with my ele/necro) to kill the worm with vampiric spells (including spirits) by bypassing the wurm's armor, and didn't have to use any gunpowder. I guess it's cheesy to hide near the wall while draining him, but it worked. Pain Inverter didn't seem to do jack against the wurm, though I've read it helps with later bosses. Thanks again to everyone for the advice.
