I did the mission with my Monk on my first run, but my Axe Warrior is having a real hard time. I've had a few good teams but it can be hard. And GW seems to like to crash on this mission 20% of the time.

Ring of Fire is not this hard.

2monks(1 prot 1 healing)
2 war
2 fire ele

Just finished it , phew it was hard been trying it since yesterday. What a thrill ride

.

I changed my secondary profession to warrior, kept using T (primary target) button, and totally with Henchmen group only one of them died, the 2nd monk when we were tanking the "Chrysos The Magnetic" while taking out the others. Max damage axe sure played big part there.. Although we were extremely close to losing the king at one point (25% hp).

I've still not completed this mission, after umpteen attempts at it. The last attempt went okay until the Protected Cloak appeared. We all started to focus our attacks on it, forgetting about the king. I noticed a few Jade Armours running up to him, and after shouting and clicking the radar furiously, it was too late.

This mission is a close contender to Thirsty River, which took me about ten attempts before my party managed to breeze through it with immense ease.

I always get the Mursaat Monk Boss...

Rediculous mission. I hate this mission with a passion.

Mystic_Karnas · Aug 29, 2005, 05:01 AM // 05:01

I have done this misison with real people, I lead them with my dom/water Me/E, maelstrom, backfire, blackout, ward vs. harm, blurred vision, empathy, ice spikes, and rez sig. We had the trapper trap the doors where the enemies were coming from, and the hydromancer and I kept the other enemies busy while our barrager, nuker, and trapper killed the ones on the other side (if enemies happened to be on both sides), we usually stayed in the middile of the keep. Our necro was amazing with his blood magic, kept us pretty fit, and our healer was menlho (sp?), but our protector also brought just enough heal to heal the king as well as make us near invincible. The monk boss was a piece of cake, I layed down a maelstrom, then the other hydromancer followed suite once mine was almost done, and I used blackot, then maelstrom, no spells came aout of that boss. Then, we retreated to the king, and everything was a peice of cake, dorian is a whimp. Seriously, if you get a group that listens, this mission becomes strangely easy.

I did tis with hench. i tried tis many times with real ppl.....but every time perfected armor came they would always attack it first.

Joseph the Jester · Dec 22, 2005, 09:32 AM // 09:32

I've tried this mission about a dozen times. First time was with hench, made it to Mursaat Monk boss (only had Jade Bow boss once, got pwned really quickly), everything went well up until that point. I didn't think to target non-boss monsters (dunno why, just never occurred to me). After reading this thread, I think I could make the mission with a good group, just need a good group.

I'm a Me (dom)/E (fire, post-ascension).

I'll need to work out my skill bar a bit, but I'm thinking of switching to more interrupts then what I have right now (which is mostly direct damage and some Fire ele stuff). If anyone is willing to work with someone who has henched about a quarter of the missions, I'd love to learn as I love this game (just not Ettins, TK mission, and water ele imps on the way to Drok's from Beacon's Perch

)

Guillaume De Sonoma · Dec 22, 2005, 09:46 AM // 09:46

Wow they nerfed this mission to hell and you guys are still having trouble? I did this with savio a 2 others and henchmen and it was easy as hell. We finished it with 0 deaths and I was talking on IM most of the time or doing homework. I remember the good ol days of it being a noob filter.

Numa Pompilius · Dec 22, 2005, 09:50 AM // 09:50

By far the most demanding and interesting mission in the game, and my favorite mission.

Anyway, set up base by the king, and remember your priorities: protect the king, kill the minions, and kill the bosses last. If the king goes on one of his little rushes toward the enemy, you follow him. He can heal himself quite well, provided you don't let him get pummeled by a whole group while you're on the other side off the castle.

You can make this mission a bit easier by NOT lighting the beacons and if you're playing with humans you can man the catapults (while there's no fighting going on).

The perfected armor is a biyatch if you're a caster, as it's an interrupt ranger.

Sol_Vie · Dec 22, 2005, 09:53 AM // 09:53

Perfected Armor went down really quickly with my SS necro.

I'd love to help anyone who needs assistance with this mission.

IGN Sol Vie or Champion of Althea (have R/Mo {traps}, E/Me {air or fire, N/Me {SS/battery/interrupt or anything else}, W/Mo {...WHAMMO! 'Nuff said} that can help)

Draracle · Dec 22, 2005, 10:35 AM // 10:35

This mission is great, but it requires an actual team not 8 people all doing the same mission.

goober1973 · Dec 22, 2005, 11:48 AM // 11:48

I can't recommend this guy enough. Some might think the 15k price tag is high but if you've been stuck at THK for nearly a month like I was, waiting for a group to accept a ranger (other than trapper groups), you would be willing to pay twice as much for guarenteed success.

That must have been why it was so easy, i had heard from all my guildies that it would be the hardest thing i would ever face, but beating it first time and then getting stuck 2 missions later at Abaddon's Mouth im beginning to rethink on the hardest mission in the game.

Savio · Jan 02, 2006, 05:25 AM // 05:25

No, it was just because I was there. I have an auto-win button.

I don't know if this has already been said, and if it has, use this as a reminder.

Set up a group with 1 stance warrior 1 healer monk 1 prot monk, and whoever else you want to take (The first 3 are essential)

After you make it to the keep have the stance warrior pick up the torch and move to the large beacon near the king. Let him stand there and take all the aggro, while the two monks protect and heal him, and let everyone else kill the other monsters...........simple enough?
