Hey, I have been doing all of the missions and bonuses in Elona and have done them all except this one.

I seriously have no idea how to do this mission though. I know you have to defeat Mallyx, but I dont know how to even get to him. Along the way can I H/H the way? Should I get a group to do this? What build should I use? (Warrior)

Any tips/explanations on how to do this would be wonderful.

you need to get into an Ursen group. Most Ursen groups require you to have 8 ranks in Norn and 7 ranks in Lightbringer as a minimum. If you don't have Ursen or the required ranks then you are unfortunately SOL buddy.

Basically yeah you're going to need a high ranked Ursan to have any hope of getting into a group for DoA. That or hope you have a good friend's list or guild that wouldn't need it.

You can use heroes in DoA, there are no henchmen.

Until some master gamer comes up with a better build/strategy for doa you'll need to use ursan. It's boring, but quick.. sorry.

BS...People did DoA before Ursan, so there is no reason not to do it that way now. People are just too lazy. But yeah, without guild/friends you will have hard time finding non ursan group.

Also, DoA isn't a mission in the traditional sense, it's an elite dungeon at the end of the game. It's not required for any titles.

Except after the first time you do GoA, you get a nice shiny Vanquisher of Gate of Anguish/Mallyx or something for your HoM.

People want what is fast, thus Ursan. The old methods of clearing DoA for pugs were mind numbingly slow, no one wants to go back to that. There are/were very, very few people who ever cleared DoA with a balanced approach.

That was also before the environmental effects were removed in NM. Its doable with 6 heroes and no consumables these days. I didn't do a full clear, but the sum totals of each individual zone took us ~5-5.5hrs with a sy-dslasher, an SS Nec and assorted heroes tailored for each zone (compared with 3ish hours for your average ursan pug using consumables).
