So what boss was your hardest elite cap??? for me it has to be:
(not using elite Tomes!)

#1-Maw The Mountain Heart, Feast of Corruption: Only boss with this elite and seriuosly he spawns in 6 differant maps! all random and he's a ground wurm meaning he pops out of the ground so you never know where he is and if he does come at you, you probably will not have a cap sig handy.

#2-Assassin's Construct, Temple Strike: you'll have to be quite lucky or on the Luxon side to cap this elite. The boss appears at the very end of Sunjiang District mission and he may not even appear since the 4 last bosses are totally random, also sometimes you may not even have enough time to use cap sig before mission ends....or do the later way, do the Luxon quest and cap him in Silent Surf.

#3-Goss Darkweb, Abbadon's Mouth: the boss appears rarley in the mission which is the only place you'll find him and Abbadon's Mouth is more of a later mission, also personally I thought it was farley hard.

-Maw(took a while)

-Barrage in iron mines( first time doing it on my ranger) a few times markis didn't even spawn -.-

All 290 elite skills were easy to cap thanks to Guru

Isn't Markis a required boss (quest boss)? He HAS to spawn.

Myd Springclaw in mineral springs... the most annoying thing was visiting 5/6 of the spawn locations and he has spawned in the final one >_<

I dunno, it was over a year ago. I think it was a bug in the mission.He spawned when i did it last week with my rit though:P

rurik with hundred blades just because no1 does the mission

That evil monk griffon in Vabbi. Wiki didn't exaggerate, it's REALLY hard to kill him without daze or a mesmer.

Irritating/Time consuming caps:
1: All RoF rotation missions/S.Shiverpeak rotation maps

Most annoying cap:
Unsteady Ground (Island Guardian boss in Maishang Hills)- I was silly and didn't bring BHA.

Caps that gave me the most difficulty:
Power Flux.
Onslaught.

Maw the Mountain Heart wasn't difficult at all- it just took a while to get up there.

RoF missions sucked. Hells wasn't *that* bad though. But the worst are Jagged Bones, that one sin elite and any other in that area where yo uget Jagged Bones. That place sucks royally.

MMSDome · Aug 30, 2007, 04:04 AM // 04:04

I capped Energy Surge at Iron Mines and explored every inch of the map and killed everything and he was in the last spot -_-

FoC from maw indefinately.

But it was worth it seeing how we kept winning using the FoC curse spike.
The spell has to be one of the best necro spells in this game, but noone uses it because they can't get to maw :\

I've gotten their twice, and twice have I promised I'd never cap it again.

Any attempt to cap from an end-mission boss (like the fore-mentioned Markis with Barrage and The Drought with Sandstorm) is a pain if you don't do it just right (killing your target first without triggering end mission sequence). Luckily all of them have alternate bosses to cap from. Other than that, Maw was kind of a pain to get to - but pretty easy to kill.

I had a really hard time capping Jagged Bones, but the main reason was because I was an idiot and left town with 3 heroes that were all levels 13-15 (trying to level them via Wurms, decided to cap, dude is on rocky terrain and can't be in wurms to fight). That one really sucked, but there was a res shrine right nearby, so I just kept trying till they were all dead and we were at 60% DP. Fun, fun.

Ha! I was typing mine up when you posted this, so I didn't see it. So true, so true.

[skill]Feast of Corruption[/skill] isn't hard, it's just long. But I don't mind because I'm a big fan of Wurms (and Maw in particular) so capping there doesn't bother me

For me out of all Tyrian elites, the most annoying are the ones from the three missions. Especially the three dryder ones since they're not always there.

haven't bothered capping from Elona yet but the ones I have capped (the warrior ones and some of the other popular elites like SF and healer's boon) were quite easy. I simply went a hammer warrior and kept the boss on thier butt for most of the fight

I beleive that the hardest elites you will find are those capped from the Dryder's in Abbadon's mouth for these reasons.

~Half of them sometimes don't spawn
~When they do spawn, they vary a lot, so you have to try multiple times late in the mission
~A lot of human groups refuse to grant you this oppourtunity to go off the mission path to do this

But when it comes to saying "Well just do it with your guild" then anything is easy. And btw, capping skills coming from the luxon/kurzick side is not hard, because you have access to the complete area of both regardless if you have even bothered to completely finish the game.

There's no skill in this game that I would say is "Hard" to cap. You take a few heros, a fer henchman, bing, bang, boom, dead. Now, Order of Undeath (people saying the wrong thing made me think it was jagged bones for a second) took me a guildie with his heros and mine, but we did it without much difficulty. (Margonites are possible to kill outside the wurms you know.)

This easiness is due to the number of fansites and guides, not because the game is easy. Anything hard to do can become easy with guides and laid out instructions. Imagine how frustrating some parts of Urgoz Warren and the deep must have been before Guildwiki posted guides. I mean, sheesh.

But as for Maw the Mountain Heart, she is just a lucky spawn. You can zone, rezone dreadnought's as much as you like to get her to spawn. In Abbadon's mouth, it's different.

Hehe. I remember that. I just SF bombed it. It even worked in Hard Mode.

yes he is and he spawned for him when he said he didnt. The problem is sometimes he gets stuck on route to the end so people assume he didnt spawn. If he would have traveled the left side of map after he couldnt find Markis he would have found him eventually
