Taken from gw.gamewikis.org:

Repeat visitors (who have completed the primary, non-repeatable quest) enter and complete this dungeon without taking a quest. This is rare in that many dungeons require taking a repeatable quest to be able to complete the dungeon. Repeat visitors may find this dungeon by traveling from Central Transfer Chamber to Battledepths, then going SE to the Heart of the Shiverpeaks entrance.

Yes you are right I saw that before except that you fight magnus, unless you have the quest heart of the shiverpeaks. I would like to fight cyndr again. I think you would have to have the primary quest "against the destroyers" in order to repeat the quest "Heart of the Shiverpeaks".

There is no way to fight Cyndr without the quest "Heart of the Shiverpeaks" and you can only do that quest once. If you really want to fight Cyndr then you need to find a PuG. Sad, but true.

Please check the Scrying Pool in the Hall of Monuments to re-take the mission to fight Cyndyr again.

The PuGs for this arent so bad in NM

famous phil · Jul 04, 2008, 04:28 PM // 16:28

Thanks for the replies everyone, It is sad news that I have to get a pug to repeat it, I did check the scrying pool. but there is no option for Heart of the Shiverpeaks.

Magnus isn't that bad, just pull his ooze guards and wipe them, then tank him while a hero mesmer keeps arcane languor and interrupts on him. Then force it(and/or all your heroes can take it with about 8 points in dom for good constant damage) to spam Aneurysm, every 5 seconds it takes 100s of points of damage from being exhausted.

Why is this mosnter so hard these days ?

It is impossible to beat this monster.

I have completed Factions, nightfall and Prophecies.

I am running Sabway and every Hero out there, and I cannot beat this monster.

WTF is ANET doing here ?

I beat this monster one year ago, with another character, and It took me
less than 1 min from the moment I entered the cave.

Now, it seems ANET has messed around with it, and its like unstoppable.

One pyroclastic shot and the whole party gets whipped.

jimmyboveto · Jul 14, 2008, 04:44 PM // 16:44

I did this the other day with h/h on my ritualist, and had no deaths. Take advantage of the flags people, AoE doesn't need to be a problem. Also, you should have a decent hero team so you can just run kegs the hole time while they kill him. Also, because I was running kegs most of the time, I just took a spirit spam build so I could actually do damage while running.

Like it was said earlier, flagging your heroes helps a lot. But really all you need are touch spells [vampiric touch] + [Vampiric Bite]. My necro just flagged his h/h back the tunnel a ways and ran in and did it himself. Other than that, I found it's a matter of Cyndr's spawn being in a good location, like right next to Budger Blackpowder so you can just drop, click on him, drop, click on him, drop, ATTACK! (lather, rinse, repeat.)

Quoted from the wiki page here:

Life Stealing can be used to kill Cyndr without removing its carapace (e.g., Touch Rangers or Vampiric weapons).

I finally gave up on the H?H and did it with humans.

Much easier

Hi,

Has said before you just need to spam Kegs to kill it. After the first keg you can pretty much solo it if you want since, Cyndr the Mountain Heart doesn't attack after he gets hit by kegs.

Flag your heroes/henchmen at corridor, enter the cave to spawn Cyder. Go back and wait until Cyder spawn near Budger Blackpowder. Go in and drop keg. Keep dropping kegs until is dead. You can unflag your Heroes/Henchmen because cyder will not attack any more.
To spawn kegs, if you don't know, select Budger Blackpowder and press space to get keg then press Drop button. Keep pressing space key + mouse click. You can only get a new keg after the previous one exploded.
In normal mode should take only a few seconds to kill him depending on your party damage.

Have fun,
impression

Cyndr changes positions before you ''aggro'' him?
Damn I hate when my heanch have -40% and more DP it kills the monk in 1 shot

JONO51 · Jul 15, 2008, 04:17 PM // 16:17

Helped a friend with it yesterday. Spread heroes, keg spam, no more than one gets hit by his siege, making it stupidly easy :P

Voodoo Rage · Jul 15, 2008, 06:48 PM // 18:48

I did it with my assassin. I waded in unprepared the day before, and after wasting a bunch of consumables and clovers, I finally gave up. The next day I walked in with my sin, 3 touch rangers, and the normal henchie mix and it was an absolute joke how easily he went down... lol.

tilpo · Aug 08, 2008, 10:16 AM // 10:16

Can someone please help me out (ingame) ? Tried it 5 times with PUG's and about 10 times solo following u'r tips, but still wont be able to do it. I'm starting to really hate this mission.

NVM i finished it with PUG but i do think this mission is very hard with H/H.

Twisties · Aug 20, 2008, 02:11 PM // 14:11

Found it impossible tonight :S Tried with H+H. Managed to drop 3 kegs on it and ...coudn't do a thing to hit it. For some reason the game disabled all my skills, kept coming up with an "Invulnabilty error, you cannot attack". This error even meant I could not use my healing or resurection spells. Since when are healing spells attack skills?

Someone said Cyndr doesnt attack after he gets hit with kegs? WRONG! You cant take more than 3 steps from the cave entrance before he blasts you to bits, let alone actually getting to the dwarf on the other side of the room and getting a keg.

Flag the henchies back? Back where ... to the rez shrine? They were getting blasted at the cave entrance.

Numa Pompilius · Aug 20, 2008, 02:31 PM // 14:31

The cheap and nasty way of doing this is with degen and life stealing. No kegs, just place one necro or ranger just inside the cave entrance (with the rest of your team further back, so the healers just have to heal the necro), and let him kill Cyndr with lifesteal skills.

It's very hard to kill Cyndr with H/H without resorting to cheapness as the human player is the only one who can carry kegs, Cyndr targets the human first... and the kegs explode if hit by Cyndrs attack.

So - lifesteal for the win.

Twisties · Aug 20, 2008, 10:07 PM // 22:07

What about the problem of not being able to heal or use any skills because it is disabled?
