From my experience failing to Vanquish a few areas last night at the last minute, I think I can safely say leaving difficult bosses until the end is a sure way to ruin your run, especially if you've accrued considerable DP.

Yeah, my friends and I had that too. Trick: Have an MM in the party. Let a char die on the sulfur [get out of the wurm right at the edge near a wall]. Raise a minion [flesh golem preferred due to higher HP]. Let the MM die, making the minion hostile. Let one party member in a wurm attack it, getting enough adren to knock down the bridge.

It's a huge pain in the ass to do, but that's one way if you've already killed everything.

Leave from Beknur Harbor and either Vanquish Cliffs of Dohjok or just run through it on your way to Zehlon - you get twice the party size.

I made that mistake too. So annoying, with only 3 enemies left...
Oh well, at least I will get it next time...

Ow, Vanquishing sounds like a hassle. Too bad they couldn't have made the number of foes needed for area completion a set number, so at least you'd know what to expect.

VanDamselx · Apr 22, 2007, 02:29 AM // 02:29

Bukdek Byway took 89 foes to complete.
Shadow's Passage took 22 foes to complete.

I just hate how it seems that not enough people want to do this

It's something to do. Personally I like the challenge.

Oh, just to help you out, on GuildWiki they are tabulating the number of foes vanquished in each area to help give people an idea of the range of enemies.

Old Ascalon, 263. I killed all but one capturable pet, and I'm pretty sure I uncovered every Devourer pop-up.

The last enemies I killed were some Gargoyles; is it true that you DON'T need to kill every pop-up unless you trigger it? Because if so, then that bodes mighty well for when I have to do the Pockmark Flats and Eastern Frontier.

Bibblenorn · Apr 22, 2007, 02:58 AM // 02:58

Plains of Jarin: 214
The Alkali Pan: 307

That's all I have done so far. Driving Wurms is even more fun now.

Indian · Apr 22, 2007, 03:29 AM // 03:29

Talus Chute: 399 -- 2hrs 20 mins
Frozen Forest: 313 -- 1hr 45mins
Ice Dome: 139 -- 50 mins

I did.... but i don't see how it makes the zone any smaller.

Tbh i think its all down to bodyblocking. In Normal mode before when i needed to cap the bosses elite. I was fighting a mob in front of it (the necro boss, NW Sulfurous)... the last enemy Devona lured the boss group. I noticed it and targetted that mob, Devona charged and bodyblocked the ENTIRE mob on her own on top of each other. Never had an easier boss mob to slaughter, they were all stuck on top of each other, degening through Poison/Disease, Death Nova explosions from minions and other spells.

It worked the same in Talmark Wilderness with the minotaurs for me earlier. I'd stand round a corner, lure them, then make Stefan bodyblock the mob, making them easy targets for SS/Reckless.

Batou of Nine · Apr 22, 2007, 05:15 AM // 05:15

Poisonous Outcrops ~ 438 (not for sure, was half asleep)

I thought the OP was gonna keep a running/updated list? /doh!
Oh well, mebe i will do that in my spare time... lol

cheers.

I've just spent a good 2hours+ killing (what i thought was everything) in Old Ascalon... and couldn't find any more stuff to kill

I'll try and vanquish Old Ascalon again later (not soon) and see which spot i missed.. 232 kills (including stalkers and moa birds)

You most likely died trying to kill something and forgot about it. My last two guys were hiding down by Bonetti

Navaros · Apr 22, 2007, 08:04 AM // 08:04

I vanquished Shadow Passage with 14 enemies dead.

But then after getting the reward and area cleared message, as I was running around to map it properly, a group of Jade Brotherhood popped up out of nowhere and ganked all my hench and heroes.

Why do new enemies still appear when it says I've killed every enemy in the area?

It'll have to be further tested, but Shadow's Passage does have a lot of pop-ups, and I think the vanquisher initially counts the number of monsters that are on the map at the time you first enter it. So killing pop-ups may over-contribute to the number of kills in the area.

I've got a different number...261...

Thats also from killing moa birds. I hate playing hide and go seek.

Its just bugged, if you look people mostly have either 8 or 14. People who have 8 did it by killing the original 8 Afflicted enemies you see at teh start of the map. People who killed 14 moved too far forwards and the Jade Brotherhood mob came into view. Moment that mob comes into view, the progress went down.

It seems to only include enemies that you've seen. So... is this a running theme with underground areas? ie, is Moddok Crevice for example the same.
