anymore there are so many people selling runs there, its very hard to even find a full team,

the best tips i can give you to beat it, is dont worry about the timer very much, it just makes you get nervous and not pay attention to other things, also make sure everyone stays on the same targets, so you can kill everything faster

Map above is crappy >.>; it's from memory, but it should be correct save 1-2 mobs.
1. Timer doesn't matter. You'll finish with about 15 or more minutes left.
2. Kill the healers first. o.O
3. On the #1 path, keep the green/maroon/purple mobs seperate.
4. On the #2 path, get out asap because gates release more enchants. It's easiest giving the warrior job of running if he has a speed increase skill.

I had problems with this the first few times. Then it became easy. The trick is to do it the right way, not the brute force way.

When you start, kill ALL the minotors you meet at the beginning. They get annoying a bit later if you sneak by them. There are more before you go over the bridge, get those also.

After the timer starts, go out the left door. There will be coming three foes, kill the sage first (always kill the sage first in this mission).

Then don't go over a bridge to the first camp, go around to the right to another entrance. There you MUST lure out a few foes at a time. This is because there are enough healers in there to keep the enemy from losing hit points. Just lure out a few at a time, kill healers first. After some of them are dead, you can go in and get the boss or whoever is in your way. You don't have to kill everyone here, just the ones in the way of you getting the crystal.

When you come out with the crystal, you have to maybe kill one more group in the way, but avoid all other groups and bring the crystal to the ghost. Part 1 finished.

When you go to the second camp, the trick is not to go through the middle - too many groups that are too close together. Go around a large outcropping, then you meet maybe one or two groups in the way. Before going into the second camp, go in as far to the right as possible, clearing out another enemy group which will be in your way afterwards. Get the crystal (killing of course the ones guarding it) and then exit as fast as possible to what is now your left. Otherwise you will run into the newly released enemy mob. Run to the ghost. You are then done.

Main trick here is not to use brute force, but to use tactics in choosing your path. After using the tactics I described above, I was able to do this mission each time, except for when members of my party became confused about where they were heading. Going in the wrong direction and activating the enemy, or running into the path of the army which is released after getting the second crystal, is a way to disaster!

You can also pick up and use those splinter mines on your enemy.

Find a ranger with every evasive move in the books + speed boosts + a little luck (and possible mending if any W/Mos can spare it), pretty easy win if pulled off correctly... when some guy came into my group and did this mission by himself i was amazed that it was actualy possible

I used a Wa/Mo and finished this using henchmen having 9 minutes left. Use KamikazeChicken`s map, that almost the same path I took, exactly the same in the second/timed part of the mission.
