I haven't seen any threads regarding this, so what do you guys think of the new Titan Quests? I did all five the night the patch was released, and I must say it was probably the most challenging and enjoyable PvE I have experienced in this game.

Monking in the Defend Kryta and Denravi quests was insane. The very last quest was pretty awesome as well. I for one hope they add more quests like these.

Didnt try yet...

Cant be done with henches huh? ^^

Ollj · Sep 09, 2005, 09:17 PM // 21:17

definitely not doable with hencheman

Bast · Sep 09, 2005, 09:22 PM // 21:22

Agreed, these quests own.

Lost · Sep 09, 2005, 09:22 PM // 21:22

You can do the first one with henchmen.

when doing defend kryta did you go from lions arch? i tried that last night and with only 6 people it didnt work too well! i guess the only other option would to go to ToA get a group of 8 and fight north? any suggestions would be cool

Witchblade · Sep 10, 2005, 12:51 PM // 12:51

yup first one quite easy with henches

Dont know about the next ones

with one 6/4 as max in party and henches are 10- lvl

And all that for 20k xp.. not worth the effort, xp has become pointless

I was thinking that too. Plus if you happen to need a hench at least they are a little more powerful.

I am not doing it for the xp, i am doing it because i like playing the game! i WANT to go out and kill everything i possibly can. mass slaughter ftw!

So there's the first one in Mineral Springs, then the next 3, (Ascalon, Kryta, and Denravi) where is the final one?

I'm stuck on Defend North Kryta, and have the other 2 done. It's pain to build teams since some peeps seek for it in Lion's Arch, and some in ToA. I've done 2 unsucessful runs from ToA. One helpful note: On your way from ToA, just near the zone into North Kryta, there's a statue of Dywana you can kneel at and pay to get +10boost. Even with that, it's really tough. The waves come way too close together at the settlement.

I imagine optimally you'd have a necro along to destroy bodies, 2 healers, 2 nukers, and 3 tanks.

How hard is the final one? Any cutscenes? The patch notes mentioned something about new cutscenes didn't it?

Intricated · Sep 11, 2005, 01:00 AM // 01:00

I've only completed the first one (Mineral Springs) with a PUG, but I imagine the Ascalon one is quite difficult to form a group or do with henchies (3 lvl 10 AIs vs. 5545435 Titans?!).

I think there's suppose to be 4 new cutscenes/cinematics, and I've encountered one so far at the end of the "Unspeakable; Unmentionable" (?) quest the High Priest gives you in Sorrow's Furnace.

HydroX · Sep 11, 2005, 03:48 AM // 03:48

Mesmer shutdowns + interrupts ftw!

I'm stuck on Defend Kryta. Defend Denravi is CAKE compared to Kryta.

Last Day's Dawn.. haha, I don't even want to think about that one. Oy.

Some perfect team builds for these quests involve 1 warrior, 2 monks (one with domination mesmer skills), a smiter, echo nuker(s), and a max bone fiend necro. Just make sure you keep Verata's Gaze from casting on the Titan Boss (as well as keeping the necro alive, obviously) during Defend Kryta or else you're facing the Bone Fiends as well. If that happens, it makes it quite a free for all. lol

One and Two · Sep 11, 2005, 03:51 AM // 03:51

Ive done Defend Droknar's and Last Day Dawns. Neither was a challenge at all, but hey, they were a massive amount of fun.

Sekkendou · Sep 11, 2005, 04:52 AM // 04:52

Yeah, Defend North Kryta is massively difficult to finish. THen again maybe it's just been my luck with getting teams together for it.

Zubrowka · Sep 11, 2005, 05:25 AM // 05:25

I thought they made Last Day Dawns a bit too hard. Four person team means you're always out-numbered. I finished it only after dying like a dozen times. But I guess it's our own fault for not reequipping ourselves with more appropriate skills after our initial difficulties.

Link Ironhammer · Sep 11, 2005, 05:49 AM // 05:49

Whats the point of doin these anyway

One and Two · Sep 11, 2005, 05:52 AM // 05:52

Its easy (so far). Its fun.

Eskimo Bob · Sep 11, 2005, 06:38 AM // 06:38

Well few nights ago, a friend and I got a group together in yaks bend and ran to the ascalon titans quest. We were just cutting through the charr like butter that has been microwaved for us. We were on the last titan mob and the guild wars server crashed!!!

Needless to say, A.net owes me an appollogy and a box of cookies. Yes the box of cookies is a must! They better be whitechip macadanium!

Link Ironhammer · Sep 12, 2005, 02:09 AM // 02:09

how can server crash its never happened to me before

Blue Steel · Sep 12, 2005, 02:55 AM // 02:55

I recommend Running backwards from ToA for Defend North Kryta (8 instead of 6) and from Yak's Bend (6 instead of 4) for the final final mission after the other 4 are done. They are still a true challenge, but not as frustrating with one or two PUG members who cannot carry their weight. All of these missions were awesome though!
