Hi,
I was wondering is it possible to beat hells precipice with henchies? Cant find anyone here...

It's doable, actually easy. Kinda like Thunderhead Keep just have to take it slowly.

Image taken two days ago, helping a random person through the mission.

Tips:
1. Bring a bow (any bow, stats don't matter) to pull small amounts of enemies.
2. Turn around and run away slowly after you use the bow. Pause, let the enemies catch up and move away from other enemies. Kill.
3. Kill priority: Sparks, Hands/Fists, Burnings, Risens.
4. Know when a situation has become very, very bad - run away and let the monsters reset to their original positions.
5. If you're a ranger, bring Cynn and Winter (Signet of Capture for Greater Conflagration also).
6. Practice tips #1 and 2.

If you really can't manage to get through it with henchies (and don't feel like PUG'ing it), send me a PM and I'll see what I can do.

thx for the offer, but it seems do be very easy. So far Ive only been killing sparks and titans, and the necro boss. Hopefully it doesnt get hard

EDIT: got killed at lich....I killed him in center of bloodstone, he revived and the hands/fists killed me. An hour wasted

I've done the bonus with henchies...Found it to be far more effiecient than doing it with PUGS.

1) I controlled aggroing--so no over aggroing.

2) concentrated fire so eneimes died quicker & kill the order wasn't haphazrd.

3) no one dropped on me.

To be honest there are many pros to taking henchies as opposed to PUGS, there are of course cons as well.

I've found this mission to be far easier with henchmen on all 3 of my characters that have done it. PUGs tend to be full of newbies nowadays. :<

Basically just don't overagro stuff and you'll do fine.

Ssome missions are REALLY tough with Henchmen. This is not one of them. Go ahead, first try I got to the Lich second time I won, only two Henches died at all.

Remember to wait in between mobs for your henchies to regen. They have depletable energy pools too. I tried this a few times with my ele, but got the warrior boss spawn on my third try and gave up. The PUG I ended up with had 4 leavers by the time we reached the lich king and we still passed the mission, so it is doable with henchies, if you have the patience.

Did it with henchies just last weekend. First try. Like all the other posts - take it slow.

Hardest part for me was Undead Rurik. The damn Spark on the hill.

There's no Mission that can't be done with Henchmen.

Winter + Cynn = Bunch o' Damage
Winter + Greater Conflagration + Attack Damage = Bunch mo' Damage

Besides all the advice there make sure your on ts/vent with guildies or listening to music loudly because its so slow you might fall asleep ;D.
