In my idle time lately I thought I'd get my heroes some armor upgrades so I can add them to HoM.

Previously, the general tacting in Remails of Salahja was to get all 4 doors open, then just run around looking for Lost Souls, killing them, and hoping you get an Ancient Armor thingy in your inventory.

Well it seems between now and last time I did this, it's been changed to where Lost Souls do not give them any more (confirmed from Wiki but when I twice got 200 points only by opening doors and killing Lost Souls and got ~ZERO~ Ancient Armors, I knew something was up). Only killing Maddened Spirits now gives them, and I know that killing 4 from the initial area NEVER gives them.

So the problem is you have to start killing them in the 4 outer areas, but when it quickly gets to 2 or more Maddened Spirits running at you, the one(s) you aren't directly attacking slice you to ribbons in short order, earning a very early exit.

I even tried the Rt/P "cant touch this" / vengeful weapon / vwk farming build, but as soon as you life steal them down to 0, they automatically jump to 100% life, and you can't kill them outside of the wurm no matter what.

So.................what's the way to get Ancient Armor remnants now? I don't understand the logic of making it so that Lost Souls no longer give them. That was the ONLY way we all used to get them.

So... you have to hop in a wurm and kill them the way it was supposed to be done? QQing about gimmicks not working anymore doesn't seem very productive.

no need to be rude. Killing Lost Souls never was a gimmick, I believe this was the way it was supposed to be done.

And offer a bit of helpful advice instead of unproductive flaming.

That's the gimmick I'm referring to. Don't mean to be rude, but it seems pretty obvious to me that the challenge mission is designed for you to kill the Greater Infestations so you can kill Maddened Spirits. I do agree that the Lost Souls seem fairly pointless now, but they were not the "ONLY way we all used to get them".

I only tried that gimmick (rt/p which doesn't work anyways) because I was completely frustrated that I was unable to get them from Lost Souls, which is how I got them all before. I don't think I'm QQing by pointing out that you can't get armors from Lost Souls any more.

Which brings me to the entire point of this post: how do you kill Maddened Spirits when you have 2+ chasing after you, and as you go to kill 1, the rest shred you?

Tunnel as a speed boost, you can kill the Greater Infestation in a couple hits, then use Smash + Bite on a Maddened Spirit - can kill at least 2 before losing the effect, so take off running again.
