BOWS:

WANDS:

Damge the Lich in the beggining!

Go to Hells Precipice(mission in Tyria) Enter mission, now you have 2 options, option A, type /resign, Option B, Get ready for a Challenge.
You can either choose to fight or Skip the first Few groups of Ashen and Warrior titans, I usually skip them Cause there annoying.

Run to the left of them using sprint, a meteor should land somewhere in the middle of the path so stay to the side to prevent KDs, when you see lich turn left sprint around the lava pool, hold CRTL and see how many sparks have spawned, if there are three, either resign or attempt to fight them(YOu can do it, just difficult).

For this first group of sparks, look for one that isn't spamming spells very often, attack this one first.

TACTICS: for fighting two Sparks, Attack the bugged one first, use plague touch whenever they use Mindburn on your, spam heal sig, cast Grenths Balance only if it's an emergancy(Cast it on the other once) you should successfully kill the first spark by sending it a lovely gift of burning flames and Final Thrusts. Move to the second one and kill it the same way.

Once you have killed both Sparks, move forward to a bridge, a Ashen should pop up, you can either kill it(Sorry I've only killed it a few time by luck, AoTL ended at a good time and I KOd it with Final thrust) after your kill the Ashen, a Fist(swordman) and a hand(Axe) titans will pop up, sprint back pull one at a time.

Fists: If you have your sword equipped they will use deadly riposte, you can switch to a wand and wand them for adrenaline then spike them(once your heal gets low enough, use this combo, GB, Riposte, Driposte, wand, Fianl Thrust)

Hands: Very easy, don't use Dolyak Signet until your health is kinda low(make sure you don't let them use Evicerate when you have low hp so GB, Riposte, Driposte final Thrust them before they hit you 8 times)
__________________________________________________ _________

Run near the bridge, when your on the top of it, use Sprint run past all the titans(make sure you stay away from the warrior wild blow) if you need heal use GB on one of them, run to this point(screenshot 1) wait there for about 10 seconds then all the sparks will move to the location on the first boss.

[img][/img]

Once your healed up at the stop point, walk to the nearest group(by the waterish) get ready to sprint past the Seer, use GB on the Bruning titan near him. Heal up again you should be a a fork, go right sprint past some ashens(watchyour for Bspiek1111) follow the path to the portals.

Once you get to the open field keep walking forwar to the other side, aggro the last Fist/Hand the come out of the lava Pool, bring him up the hill and fight him.

Keep pulling Fists/hand with your long bow, if you want morale boost pull any boss you want BUT the Necromancer one.

Once the hands/fists are dead, shoot a Portal keeper with your bow, stand in one place(make sure your out of the patrol aggro) try to pull 1 or 2 of the phantom things, use plague touch to get weakness and blind off of you, Ripostes own these guys so use them.

Once your have cleard all the Portals it will instantly go to a cut scene which leads you to Rurick, now for the fun part.

Skip the Cinematic get ready to run backwards, whip out your long bow, shoot it at the First group of fists, run back shoot again, keep bringing them further away and eventually one will split apart, kill it, repeat.

Now for a more fun part, GB Rurik up on his ledge, walk back, let the Sparks hurt you keep walking back until they give up shoot them with your long bow, keep messing with them, it makes the sparks split away from rurik. Kill Rurik, hope for a Signed FDS.

(After I killed the second to last fist, I got cocky on the last one and Final Thrust killed me

more pics coming)
Duo farmin

Head to Lich....
(I havn't been able to solo Lich yet, but I will soon he has ~6000 hp so take off those Superior armors and get lots of HP to maximize GB, now when fighting Lich when you use GB it heals you to 100% doing 0-600 dmg depending on your hp).

DUO FARMING.

Warrior/Necromancer
14 Tactics(minor+ascalon helm)
11 Sword(Sup rune)
11 Strenght(minor rune)

Skills:
Final Thrust
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Grenths Balance{E}
Plague Touch
Dolyak Signet
Healing signet
Sprint

Skills:
Ranger/Monk
Barrage {E}
Distracting Shot
Savage Shot
COncussion shot(never used)
Troll Unguent
Rebirth
X
Storm Chaser

The Warrior does the same thing as if he were soloing, have the Ranger Interupt Mindburns, Rodgorts, healing signet ect...

When fighting Lich, ranger become very useful, when Liches health is too low to GB to work and your taking 100s from his wand(with dolyak on) step off the alter, let the ranger get it to a sliver of hp(your wanding him) when he's about to die run in and FInal Thrust him to take all the glory hahahaha, just kidding.lol.

Players:
Red Rooster X
Sayoko of the light(leet ranger)

GL have fun Farming/missioning.

(I still have to add the following
Video
More pics
Bonus strategy
I'll edit some more)

I usually just kill two of the burning titans, the first one and the second one, then I go for the two sparks(if it's the two spark spawn) I'll have to post more screenies.

Legendary Shiz · Sep 21, 2006, 01:58 PM // 13:58

Quite impressive lamba. I'm probably going to give the duo a try for sure, I have a friend that <3's doing grenths work on his war so this should work out just fine.

icecoldholyroller · Oct 01, 2006, 09:34 PM // 21:34

muahahaha thats me! lol

RoadKill97 · Oct 01, 2006, 10:48 PM // 22:48

Lambda, can you solo those Fists and Hands near the Lich? They are in groups of two so pulling doesn't work in my experience. I personally skip every enemy before the field and then kill Portal Wraths, Fists, Hands, Sparks, and Rurik same way as you do, only to get slaughtered by those Fists and Hands guarding the Lich. Thought, I don't have a Zealous weapon, and that could be my problem, since I'm running out of energy against them.

Arkantos · Oct 01, 2006, 11:48 PM // 23:48

Wow, grats lambda. Soloing the last bonus of Tyria, pretty impressive.

yeah, I can, you wanna take out the axe one first, to time your ripostes(so the axe one hits them first),just heal sig and send Deep would, Weakness ect back to them...One problem I'm having is getting the final blow on lich,when I was duoing we killed him two times, then on the third he finally died, might try Desperation blow instead of Final thrust and hope for that deep would or bleed.

krypt1200 · Oct 02, 2006, 01:14 AM // 01:14

Where can i get the above mentioned shields without paying morethan a couple k each? any collectors maybe?

lambda the great · Oct 02, 2006, 01:50 AM // 01:50

I would recomend you buy or find a +30hp +10vs fire....or...+30hp 10vs (slashing) shield, the 45/-2(stance doesn't work well cause sprint is your only stance....

Dead Rurik...

You literally have to BREAK the aggro system

, mess around sprint, wand, run wand, run wand, broken aggro ..

Well, I've been using slightly different build for this that doesn't include Plague Touch so I'm generally trying to avoid the conditions. It's the Cripple that got me last time. But if I can manage to separate those Hands and Fists, then they shouldn't be a problem. I have an idea how to kill the Lich, but i'll try it myself first.

Btw, Ineptitude Mesmer is very effective for duoing.

My build and picture of me killing Rurik (taken 9-20-2006):

One more thing. Are the attributes you listed in your first post correct? I have same Runes and headgear as you do, but my Strength is at 11.

White_Chaos · Oct 02, 2006, 04:40 PM // 16:40

Damn you can solo the last mission which should be the hardest
Hmm What is next Shiro soloing guide?

Oh, thanks, I guess it is eleven, typo!

Last time I got to Lich I could have Sworn it was a Fist and a Hand in each group, I'm wrong, there's two group, one with two fists, and the other with two hands. Yeah, I found out that I Could Swap out is, plague touch, and final thrust, I might try Bonetties defense, cause when fighting lich he does 90's even with Dolyak on, getting that last touch of dmg on him could be easier.

icecoldholyroller · Oct 02, 2006, 11:36 PM // 23:36

lol, where going to try altered builds tonight, so well see if it goes any better!

bobert_monduvia · Oct 24, 2006, 10:19 PM // 22:19

wow...incredible...
awesome guide lambda <3

one question...how long you think a full run takes? the duo farm...including killing the lich
