Trick with Elona is to just use your henchmen as shields and run the whole thing (that's what I did with my Nec)...took like 7 or so minutes to complete. As a Necro, you really don't have much that hits hard and fast, that is also cheap. What do we get? Dark Pact and Vamp Gaze? OOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOo, shame I'm curses : /

For thirsty river all you need is a good leader and a team who litsens.. i did it 3 times so far.. the first time went flawlessly, no deaths at all.. the second two times we had a couple jackasses who didnt pay attention and we couldnt kill the priest with the monk boss.

And elona is all about the path you take.. if you take your time and take the right path.. you only have to fight like 7 groups the entire time (not at the same time of course).

Okay, you guys are missing the point - I'm using henchmen instead of people; since henchmen listen all the time, I don't have to worry about what they are doing.

I had to perfect the system because I am regularly carrying level 2 people through the mission, and here is how you do it with just you and a couple of henchmen:

You have to have everyone's firepower focused on the priest when you are using henchmen and also down a couple of people. Kill the 6 patroling guards in about 1 minute, so you have a full minute to worry about the priest with only the monk boss and a single enchanted bow to worry about. Tab to select the the priest before you get close to the base, as the henchmen are less likely to get stuck that way. Then charge. Orion is a useless hench because his timing is so bad, but with the two fighters, the ghost, and one other AI dealing damage in addition to your own damage, you can take the priest down in time regardless of your profession and without needing to interrupt anything. Then you turn to the monk boss., who takes a while, but drops, too, and finally the enchanted bow.

Obviously, with just you and a full team of henchmen (5 and the ghost) it is extremely easy, but carrying a couple people through at the same time does make it tough.
