i just can't get this one. yijo keeps killing our group with his spirit rift. and i can't move them away fast enough from the rift. spreading everyone around doesn't work because there's no room to spread anywhere. how do you kill this guy??? perhaps someone can make a thread with hardmode mission tips and have it stickied at the top?

Broadhead Arrow helps, and quickly move henchmen if he still manages to cast Spirit Rift. Also casting Protective Spirit on you and your henchmen before you go in can help surviving a spike.

like already mentioned Prot spirit is your friend. cast it on 1 person and let him absorb the inital damage. BHA works also

Everyone waits back (flag H+H) and your party tank get's Prot Spirit put on him and runs in to absorb the Spirit Rift. Then everyone else runs in and hurts him.

BHA would also probably work.

Just keep an eye on the skills he casts and when you see him cast spirit rift, RUN !!! And flag your hero/hench at a far enough distance (about 1 and a half aggro circle should easily be enough).

That's how I did it

i've given up for now. tyrian guardian was so much easier than this. there's just no way to keep me from dying despite all the protection i've placed on me. bha, a bunch of protections on me, and he still manages to kill me and everyone else. since i play w/* i've tried shadow stepping and knocking him down, that doesn't work since i keep getting blinded. once i go down, no one else has enough firepower to kill him and then his spirit rifts rip everyone apart.

someone should write a guide with builds for all of these hardmode missions.

Do you have GW:EN? I can imagine Pain Inverter doing MASSIVE damage back to him. Otherwise, hmm, can't come up with anything else at the moment... But yeh, Factions really isn't very Warrior friendly, imo.

Us faction Warriors have to resort to such dirty dirty tactics.

Get a ranger.

Put protspirit on him.

Move him ahead of the main party.

Get him to use Broadhead Arrow on Yijo.

Get him to activate an IAS.

That should pin down Yijo for long enough to move the party up and take out what you need.

Sorry to hijack this thread but I am having the same problem with him and/or the last group of afflicted in normal mode. I don't understand why they had to make Faction missions so hard. In Prophecies the missions are up to par to your level and they are all doable with henchies, oh well I guess I am going to have to party up with ppl.

Ok first you'll need some good elemental defence cuz spirit rift does lightning damage and when you see him cast spirit rift just put Pain Invader on him and watch him die... you can even try a Barrier Bonder on the low armor

I just H/H this one last night (and got masters). What I did was I took a Sab's MM and Healer, and a bonder hero. For henchies I used the healing one and I think Prof. Gai.

Bonding is kinda tricky here as you gotta do most of it on the fly (i.e. while moving). For Yijo, I pulled the farmer dude away, killed him, then ran in with full bonds and beat the crap outta of Yijo. Just keep your H/H guys away and hope that he won't use Spirit Rift on 'em (and if he does they should be bonded so not much damage there).

Hope that helps!

Shelter + Protective Spirit is all you need. If the henchies can avoid the initial rift, Yijo drops quick.

I used Sab's Jagged Bones N/Rt build for one of my heroes...and with the bonder I used it went pretty well. Just build up a decent minion army and then they'll kill the minions, and you get see 'em explode and cause poison

The group has pretty weak healing as the only healer is the boss....and the only difference between him in NM and HM is a couple more attribute points. So just focus on one at a time-hopefully you'll have plenty of time-when I got to that point it was at 15 minutes...and it took me 2 to clear it.

I agree with all those that suggested Pain Inverter. I was having a hard time with the Rit boss as well. I got Pain Inverter, went back, and he killed himself. It works wonders on the Kirin in Naphui Quarter, and the Island Guardian (lvl 30) in Boreas as well. I couldn't stop laughing when they killed theirselves using Signet of Judgement. It was like...run up cast the hex, foe reacts by casting SoJ x1 and he's dead.
