Try starting from Yaks bend or ToA and taking advantage of the larger party size...

I really like vanquishing, regardless of where it is...even when I got to Rotscale...and those monk bosses...

There are 2 rather easy to miss patrols in talus chute:

1. There's a tundra giant patrol all the way in the wast of the area that has a rather large patrol and is easy to miss. I vanquished this area 3 times now, and all 3 times did we miss that patrol.
2. There's an avicara mob that patrols somewhere around the center of the area. It has a pretty large patrol route but if you just circle around the center a bit you will eventually run into them.

Oh, and vanquishing is fun

I love it, it's one of my favourite things to do in GW. I did Majesty's Rest the other night and it was the bf's first time going up against Rotscale... it makes good times. We'd never have been motivated to go look in that area if we weren't working on vanquish.

For the original idea though, sometimes I wish there were a consumable to find the last monsters. Essence of Tracking or something. But then I think it's all part of the fun ;-)

yea, I was in sulfurous wastes and there is an area you cant get to unless you have a skill which requires full adrenaline, I went to that area last thinking that I could get around somehow but ended up being 6 mobs from vanquishing, it sucks

Vanquishing = the ultimate grind.

So I'm with you, I hate vanquishing too.

I was once Vanquishing an area in NF, connection went out when I finally found the last group. Needless to say, I was angry.

If I ever decide to Vanquish again, I've only done 8 total areas, I plan on dropping a Nuclear Bomb on the area, since Nuclear Weapons solve all of our problems.

Meh Vanquishing is fun when your boored and when you just need little more cash

Well if thats true i've been boored 50times O.o

1) "Anyone looking for prestige or tangible rewards from video games is delusional." QFT

2) Those damn minos just sprint around the mountain all day, freaking annoying

3) Wish I had done most of my vanquishing after they introduced the (still paltry) cash rewards.

4) It may have cost me dozens of plat in donations to the avatar of balthazar but I got you Rotscale, so suck on it with your sucky bone dragon friends.

ooooh man i had 1 or 2 more groups to find today in a vanq. I dc'd, and then i couldn't see where i have been after i reconnected. That really sucks.

I did complete it though

It's definitely more fun and more efficient when vanquishing with people & heros. A friend and I started out from Yak's Bend one day and about two hours later we had the Eastern Frontier vanquished.

I'm done with the title and I still have fun going out with people (even total strangers!) clearing zones. The only regret I have is that the last mob I faced to finish the LV title was a bit anti-climactic. We were in Joko's domain and we ended it by squashing 4 or 5 bugs with our Worms. yawn.

GourangaPizza · Jun 23, 2008, 07:37 AM // 07:37

^ you should done Majesty's Rest last. It is orgasmic when you vanquished it.

**cosyfiep** · Jun 23, 2008, 07:46 AM // 07:46

I watched my husband vanquish anvil rock....he had cleared it preetttty good (only had a small minotaur patrol to find)....however, that last patrol he had seen but could never catch! so he would lose them along the way....retrace his route and not find them....took about an hour to find those last few---and even wiki says:

"To receive credit for the Vanquisher title track in this area you must defeat 137-253 monsters in Hard Mode. This is a hard area to earn vanquisher because of the large number of fast minotaur groups with very large patrol patterns. Finding the last few groups can be challenging, as they may have moved into areas you have previously cleared."

I usually just dont vanquish... I will kill stuff in hard mode but since I dont really care about those titles I dont really worry if I miss stuff....

Hey, who doesn't?

Narcissia · Jun 23, 2008, 07:56 AM // 07:56

vanquishing is easy and ive never had much problem tracking down the last few things. usually just run around the map once more and i find them fine. just bad luck when u cant find them i suppose

The problem is that even after vanquishing I STILL need that little extra cash.
Since vanquishing brings in next to nothing.

I used to be very anti-vanquishing - but I've tried it a bit more ... and these days I like the fact that I get to uncover parts of the game I've never seen before.
The whole "kill everything that moves" still is as boring as it always was though.

A bit more on-topic:
Was vanquishing Ice Cliff Chasms yesterday - and I get to the Wurms in the south (I started from Gunnars) - and I had some 3 Wurms spawn on me - I kill one - and finish the area. Although 2 of them were still alive, in my aggro range and being attacked by Oli's minions.
(The fun part really happened when I talk to the guy at the last rez shrine and get my Norn hunter rank 4 - with no more foes to kill.

)

Vanquishing is loads of fuuuun.

BenjZee · Jun 23, 2008, 08:58 AM // 08:58

It can be annoying sometimes but also i think its pretty fun and as soon as you've killed the last enemy you feel pretty good. The only problem i have with vanquishing is if you get a disconnect; the 'U' map is wiped so you don't know where you've previously been.
