Curse

Well, I've beaten the game, and I've gone all the way to Granite, but EVERY party I've been in, people or henchmen or both, has failed, most of us before even getting to the Mineral Springs.

I was wondering if maybe a guild would be willing to help me cap this skill from Myr Springclaw. I'm willing to pay 10k, and give 2 purple max damage axes and a gold max damage axe. PM me if interested.

Sorry, all i can do is wish you good luck. Take some time, you'll need plenty of it. Myr is to the end of Mineral Springs which is probably the ultimate most remote place on Tyria. And on top of that, he will be surrounded by healer mobs, himself being a healer too.

So all i can do is give you some advices... avoid the Ice Imps, you don't need to kill them. And most important - bring a mesmer.

Bless you, Feli! Most people have NO idea how useful mesmers are. Having played my first ascended character as a Me/Mo, I fully understand how cool they are.

I all but gave up on my PvE Me/N. Now it's just a mule for crafting materials.

No one will take me into PUG's for missions. Henchies are fine and all, but come on people... broaden your horizons. Mesmers are people too ya know. :P

On the topic... I ran Mineral Springs twice with just a guildmate and a bunch of henchies. You just have to be patient and watch your aggro. We died a couple times but worked our way all the through, 2 skill caps each.

He's not a guaranteed spawn in Mineral Springs anyhow. There's 6 boss tengus and only 5 boss spawn points in Mineral Springs...one of them gets shafted.
I've been to mineral springs a couple of times to capture various elites, and three of the times he did not spawn.

It's not really hard, just avoid getting into fights with more than one group of tengu at once. The only real trouble is the huge army of stone summit (the second group that you can't dodge) that you have to fight. But after that, the trip is easy.

When a random PuG I was in did it, we had had 60dp at the end, and died twice while fighting him and his "henchies" . But we cleared the whole area out of avicara.

Just be persistent, watch your aggro range, and try not to die. :P

Actually I think there are 6 boss spawn spots in mineral springs so you're bound to find him there.

My monk did this with henchies and I completed it with 10% morale boost...he was the last boss I killed. I skipped the mesmer boss.

Ilya Khan · Jul 08, 2005, 05:48 AM // 05:48

Yes. I will help you for free. Find me when im on and I will be more than glad to help you. That goes for all of you. I enjoy the challenge of the game. And MaglorD is correct - there are 6 locations and I have seen each skill from each boss. There is 1 for each. Bring 2 signets too...Ineptitude is there

my IGN's are Leaf It Tome and Holy Shize

I'm pretty sure there are only 5. I cleared out the ENTIRE zone with a friend twice in a row without finding him (we even got the imps and trolls in the cave). We got him the third time though, spawned at the bridge area by the collector.

Maybe they added the 6th spawn point lately in a recent patch, but I know I cleared the whole zone and found only 5 bosses.

Definately six spawn spots.

Just look up the elite and see for yourself.

(Note: I don't think the top right spot on the map is accurate. I'm pretty sure it should be more below the top middle one, but there is definately 6 spawn points.)
