First you want to cap the closest shrine.

After that, flag your henchmen and heroes on the middle hill. Spread them out to avoid Savant AoE nuking.

Your job is to run the crystals. A running skill is recommended, but I'm not sure if necessary.

Run to the left shrine (East shrine?), then wait for the first mob to get there. As soon as you see them pass the intersection, cap the shrine (doing it earlier will make them run your way). You will lose the middle shrine, but don't worry about it.

Your team should be fighting the first mob right now. Run back to grab another crystal, cap the middle shrine, then grab another crystal.

Now you sit and wait until the left shrine gets capped by the enemies, then run and cap it back (once they've left).

And that's basically it. Keep the left shrine going back and forth until your team has killed the mob its fighting. After that, you go back to step one. Doing this will make sure you have one shrine capped at all time, and keep your team from fighting more than one mob at a time. Once the mobs stop coming, kick the crap out of the Demagogue.

This is what I did for it. Just be careful with flagging so that you don't accidentally aggro more stuff, and you won't have much trouble.

Mind you it took a few tries to get the lucky warthog spawn!

This is the one I have been trying to do... that stupid little wart hog has not been very helpful however

Ended up getting it today with a guildie I work well with. Guess that's the secret.

He was a Mo/ with a MM, I had spiritway. He ran crystals while the heroes and I sat in the middle and killed everything.

and yet there is another way. either you or a guildie has to be the runner, the non runner is party leader and takes all of his/her heroes and 1 hench. while the runner does his thing, the party leader follows the right wall and goes behind the far shrine down a path where he/she will find the demo alone, just out of aggro of the large grp and simply kill him--bonus done. either let the runner finish the job or u can attempt to take the white mantles crystal which is near the demo in the mob. u can use this crystal to finish with and it prevents them from using it.

That made me LOL.

I was so glad to get this mission over with in HM.

It wasn't the crystals part that caused me the trouble, it was trying to keep that @#$!$ ranger alive with a hero monk...

The two white mantle knight's won't start attacking (or healing, or doing much else) until you're somewhere between spirit range and compass range of the ranger. Once you're close enough to see his name highlighted by pressing alt, just stop and wait for a few minutes, he'll kill both the white mantle on his own.

The necrotic traversal method is the best way of getting the Mish/Bonus HM in one go. It will take around 3 tries to spawn a pig on the opposite end of the briar gate, buty once you get you're party in, it's just the one boss, no runners or white mantle groups otherwise. Just kill the boss, attune crystals at your own pace, and move on /w your life.
