Curse

well, it seems like most people are having difficulties doing these missions.
I'll explain how I did them.

Dunes : This is the easiest of the three. BEFORE entering the fort, stand at the gate, and pull. THIS WAY, they won't be 50 pounding on you...

Except this, I dont see anything that can be hard for this mission...

River : This was perhaps the hardest for me... Had to try 5 times, but in the end, our team did it with 5 people on the team because someone left at the beginning of the mission.

Our winning team had 2 Mages, 2 warriors, 1 monk
Mages MUST bring Meteor Shower, this is crucial against those sword/hammer/bow enchanted, or they take much much too long to kill...

This mission is all about teamwork.

For the first 1 minute, you have to try to clear out as much of outside as possible. then at 1 minute mark, you rush in and kill the priest.

First, a warrior charges and get the group of 3-4 together tight, so that mages can cast Meteor shower and fire storm. Once Meteor shower is cast, the monsters will keep getting knocked down, which buys the time for healing.

at 1 minute mark, you rush in and kill the priest, then the clear out the rest.
IMO, you can delay that until 1min30, if there is still things outside, because if everyone focuses fire, it only takes 10-15 seconds to kill the priest.
BUT to be sure, (since some pickup group doesn't know how to focus fire) it's advised that you rush in around 1 min mark...

Even if some party members are dead, as long as you kill the priest, you'll have time to resurrect them. If the priest is still alive, and most of your party members are dead, it's lost.

Also, a tip : ennemies from different camp also fight each other. You shouldn't pull from different camps, but just in case you did by mistake, rush in to priest with them, and they'll fight against each other.

Elona : This is the hardest mission because there is a timer on it, and somehow this puts lots of pressures on people... they keep rushing rushing rushing...

first, give the crystal to whoever has the most armour (preferably a tank).
this way, he'll get all the aggro and healers will only have to heal that tank.

Go rescue the priest on the east, then talk to the ghost hero.

In the camp, there's 2 exits. Take the one on the left, which leads to the bridge.

DO NOT ATTACK THE BRIDGE. attacking the bridge is freaking hard, instead, to the right side of the bridge, there's a path that bypasses the bridge

skip the bridge completely, and u can get to crystal pretty easily.

on the other door from the camp, it shouldn't be too hard to get to the crystal as long as u fight 1 group of monsters at a time.

On your way back, you can go to the priest stone to get the BONUS for the mission

I hope this helps

Well, i tend to do these with henchmen. The problem is the mobs rush me way too quickly. Im usually taking on 3-4 mobs when the first siege wurm attacks. By the time i actually take that wurm down the hero is dead because another group of mobs charged him while i was taking on the worm. Ive had bad experiences with grouping so i tend to avoid it but ive done numerous attempts and i wasnt even close to finishing it. Is there anything i should do or should i just give grouping with real people a try? This is the dunes btw

you dont have to kill the worms. just stay right next to the hero and a few waves of 2-3 mob groups will come at you. if you kill at a halfway decent speed you'll be twidiling your thumbs for 6 minutes or so.

Nice guide

Did Elona on first try with henchman after losing twice with pugs that were idiots.
