Yeah.. That's exactly why I hate vanquishing too. I don't do it often because of that.

I personally can see enough little spots where you weren't, where such a single creepy thign could have been hiding from you XD

And in this area are mostly absolutely no patrols. All monsters there don't move very far away from some spots. There is no monster there, that likes to marsh from 1 point to another. all creatures there have mostly fix areas, where they stand around.

Uhm, you know, that you can see Monsters and NPC's, when pressing alt+contrl? When not, use it ever, it will drastically reduce the chance, that you will oversee a creature next time and change in the options menu the setting so, that you wil see the names ever with full color, regardless how far they are away from you.

lol, I see it.

Near the lower-left portal to the next city, you can see a small passage from the portal to the body of water directly above it. It looks like an "L".

Ctrl + Alt + good eyes help.

Thats why when I vanquish, I try to map the whole area, so I know I've seen everything.

Hehe yeah, I had to run around this map for an extra 15 minutes to find the last bugger. :x

For me it was a guy wandering around the upper left corner of the Sunspear Great Hall.

I wish vanquishing - and mapping for that matter - had a small %age or allowance of missed enemies/areas. Like 5-10 and 1% - give or take - would make those title tracks soooo less frustrating - and pointlessly so since again, you're missing like 3-4 enemies. Every other vanquish run I do I have to go on a 20-40 minute hunt for the last one or two, gets sooooo old.

You haven't been everywhere.



I remember searching for my last enemy as well on that vanquish, with the Iboga being in the area you missed. Luckilly I found it after 5 minutes. Always hold CTRL when searching for that final enemy.

Bad because you can just skip the troublesome boss in the area, basically making vanquishing a matter of time. Take Shenzun Tunnels for example, the entire area is easy, except for when you find The Afflicted Kam (or whatever), who wipes you unless you have a BHA Ranger/Interrupt Mes, etc to deal with him. Now we can all skip him without problems.

A better idea is to have something like the quest marker thing that selects the closest enemy once you've killed 90% of the enemies. Make it orange or something.
