Thanks to the recent Obby flesh change, this farm is much faster and a bit more viable. Granted nothing earns as much as speed runs, but, if you want to look for some canthan celestial weapons than this is an ok place to farm in HM.
I did this before the obby flesh change, but the speed decrease slowed the build a lot. First you need your basic obby flesh build. I am not saying I came up with this build, its just one of its uses is all.
Glyph of swiftness
Obby flesh
Stoneflesh aura
Mantra of earth
Stone striker
Intensity
Ebon vanguard standard of honor
Silver armor
16 earth, I have 9 energy storage and 10 inspiration, but that can be switched around as long as you have 15+ earth. A shield or armor + earth damage helps but is not needed.
We will be farming mantids outside of Naphui Quarter in HM. If you know how to use this kind of build, than thats all you need, otherwise there is one tip.
You want to take out the monks first, so gather the 3 groups outside and move around. The necros have shorter ranged attacks and will clump up closer to you, so you want to run past them when the monks are at least somewhat clumped up in the back, then just unleash your silver armor on them. Once the monks are dead, go for the necros.
Good for some gold celestial weapons.
