Ok guys, I've been stuck on this mission for........ 3 days, trying nonstop. My party always loses at the part where you have to defend the norns. If anyone can help me ingame please give me there IGN, otherwise please give me tips.

Defend one side first, then when the rushes stop; pull them out slowly.
Should be easy that way, if you still can't do it, try to PM me ingame and If I'm free I'll try to help.

Ursanway, rank hardly matters.
My party was full of r3's and we did it with 0 deaths.

yeah like miskav said, just go up one side (I prefer the left) and kill all the destroyers that come down that way... while letting all the right side destroyers pool in the middle. once your done with the left spawns, just pull the destroyers in the middle one by one, gl

My favorite way of defending the norn there is to pass the dryders without aggroing them so that they fight the Destroyers on that side, then go to the spot where the boss comes from and wipe them out in that area, then pull what remains. The dryders usually take out 1.5-2 groups of Destroyers.

I've had the same issue with it every time.

I go in, and at first there's only 3-4 Destroyers to each group. They go down easily. After that, the Norn say some commentary, and there come this huge wave from the top of the hill, and it always has a few Rangers. My party usually has a full or partial wipe.

If partial, I have to either sacrifice myself to get a res, or I have to very carefully pull, kill, and res at the same time until my whole part is back.

If a full wipe, or once my whole party is together, I usually camp my heroes out about halfway on the bridge, and then I pull the Destroyers in as small of groups as possible.

Pulling is probably the hardest part. I don't believe any team setup is going to get you to soak up all the damage they put out to be able to fight through it. You're going to have to move away, let the Norn die, and then pull them bit by bit.

Alot of people still havent figured out that ele's can be something other then fire. Remember destroyers dont burn. Im not talking down, its just that most of the people that have a problem here are still using searing flames.

Trigger the spawn, kill the left spawn + followup group, cross the bridge and kill the spawn coming down the hill + followup group. Then there's just a small group with the boss in the middle - no pulling required.

I sort of remember this mission and my group passing it the first time. Our leader just kept telling us that it was ok if we died because we will just keep working our way through it slowly. One of the main factors though is you must keep the golems alive, the golems are what take alot of the damage for. So when they run out of energy just run in and get them up again.

I've done it many times for filling HM Hero books for reputation... at first it was hard, but once you get a decent hero set up, and your own build, it can be fairly easy. Still kind of hard with HH, but possible. I use 3 necro heros, diff builds than the "Triple Necros", and I use Save Yourselves! and Pain Inverter, along with Temple Strike for Elite on my assassin to reduce damage. That way I can tank the groups of destroyers while they swarm in. I always use the Earth, Silverwing, and both Monk henches combined with my 3 necro Hero's, and that usually does the job.

Also set all your Golems to "Defense" to provide damage while they heal people.

Camp on the bridge, and carefully aggro groups; have a nuke ele with winter up and you are done. I was playing as warrior axe with eviscerate and heroes + henchmen.

afya · May 11, 2008, 10:21 PM // 22:21

It doesn't matter if they die~so go fight only one group then pull the rest one by one
