A HUGE thank you to The Fenixxor and iggyemu for posting their vids. I'm a middling to average 55hp monk and your vids showed me what can be done. Thanks for sharing.

Sno and Cerb: do the vids and share them - lets see you in action ppl!

Respect to The Fenixxor and iggyemu

I could compress it to 2x the speed if you want, then i can put it on best sharing. but i wont do that until tomorrow as it takes a long time to resave and then to upload.

my post ;[ anyway i watched fenixxor's video, pretty nice stuff; really fast heh. i have a sickness, i must always pick up everything that drops >_<

The Fenixxor · Apr 16, 2006, 07:34 AM // 07:34

*cough* we were looking for a different file hosting service to file front since some people werent able to download from that site... doesnt matter now though as the situation has been resolved.

Avarre · Apr 16, 2006, 09:33 AM // 09:33

Ugh, didn't manage to finish a run due to silly mistakes (Sesha took unwanted guests and we died, then i focusswapped at a bad time and got us killed again).

In any case, we'll post an edited version when we're done. We aren't going for a time win, just completion as we're running 2 mesmer monks.

The Fenixxor · Apr 16, 2006, 10:51 AM // 10:51

I'll be impressed if u can do unwanted guests... i guess you'll have to do alot of sidestepping Showers and spamming of ur skills to stay alive... GL

Avarre · Apr 16, 2006, 11:14 AM // 11:14

Yep, but terrorwebs aren't so hard. I've got that part recorded

Unwanted is just a matter of positioning, you'll see it soon!

Recorded all area clearing, but not quests... though smites needs to be redone cause the file doesn't work

As for sidestepping... Servants of Grenth ftl. The 18-terrorweb meteor-dance.

lord of shadow · Apr 17, 2006, 07:58 AM // 07:58

gonna have to pull out, went on a practice try, and got it done (wasnt timing but around 1:10 as we were going in an entirely random order), i got the recording equipment, waityed till i had enough time and asked monk.. he's giving up uw, now looking for a new partener for uw in general, even if we dont do this challenge any more.
bye templar synbius, you will be missed.

The Fenixxor · Apr 17, 2006, 08:18 AM // 08:18

Shield Of Deflection FTW? Desortiong FTW?

Sentao Nugra · Apr 17, 2006, 01:34 PM // 13:34

Avarre uses Shield of Deflection ONLY when he goes down with Jerrypants, our build uses the normal Mesmer tank.

This coming weekend, I would expect the video FOOTAGE to be completed, as it's only a matter of quests. Hopefully we won't have to leave the computers on all night downloading the video because of its length!!

P.S. The build I am using for the support damage is severely hindered by the 2 res skills I have, If Avarre would stop dying we might get it done faster!

J/K Avarre, J/K

Evilsod · Apr 17, 2006, 05:48 PM // 17:48

Servents of Grenth and Unwanted Guests are no problem for me.

Escort of Souls is a bitch though, they never seem to group fast enough or leave the SS alone long enough.

I have pretty much cleared out the entire of UW using a 55 monk tank though. That was a damn amusing 5 man trip (then 3man by the Chaos Planes :S). Did every single quest UW had to offer except The Four Horseman.... lol we got totally owned.

yea, four horsemen was certainly the hardest for our 3man group. We died the first 3 times we went in to do it, but finally cleared the whole thing. It just takes a very clever strategy (that i'm not going to give you

)

Think about it, you should be able to figure out what to do

55 Monk switches armor, triple Spellbreak the Reaper and let him tank. Fire damage pwns him, so make sure you don't let any Meteor Showers, etc., land.

Way to go taking all the adventure out of it. It's supposed to be an accomplishment, if you just read exactly how to do it, it takes all the skill out and kills the individual thinking. I was trying to preserve some of the sense of pride they'd get by finishing it, but I suppose you don't care about that.

A friend of mine spent 3 days asking me how we did it just after we completed it. I told him to think very carefully about what the quest involves and after a bit of logic, he figured it out on his own. Not everyone needs or wants to get it spoon fed from a forum.

Tsunami Rain · Apr 18, 2006, 07:08 AM // 07:08

(this is straying a bit off-topic) When I first started reading about the quests in UnderWorld I felt as if seemed easy (most of which was) but I don't think that I would have ever came up with the strategies/tactics used. It probably would have taken me many tries and a bit of time to think about the quests to figure out what I was doing wrong. Now days I do take the time to think of builds and stategies that I can use in various types of farming and questing and find it a lot more enjoyable to beat a quest or be able to farm a certain area when I thought of it myself. Imo it shows player-growth.

Well back on-topic, anyone still working on this challenge?

cerb · Apr 18, 2006, 10:53 AM // 10:53

Tsunami, thank me in my other thread! It needs a bump :P

Oh, and don't close the thread.

Also, try to beat what I tanked yesterday (no dp) ! See attachment
