So people, i admit it. I AM BRAGGING NOW. You can flame me if you need to, I am old enough to take it.

As i promised to do, maybe a week ago: i've just slain the poor dragon with the help from only 4 henchies.

i resized it to 640 width.

ROFL, No one hears you. Great job by the way, when I did that quest with 4 W/Mo and 2 full monks we got crushed in like 2 seconds. I have found the Henchies to be about 50/50 when I use them, sometimes they are great and other times I would like to kill them myself.

i've done the glint bonus twice. first time with all henchies, group died like in 15sec. second time i did it was with 4 players and 2 henchie monks. 2 other punks dropped out during the mission. it was 2 rangers, 1 warrior, and 1 elementalist. this time, the monk henchies were terrific. what a rare occurrence. after glint died, one of the players took a screenshot of us 4, each holding a dragon egg and posing besides the dead glint. freaking hilarious.

You can kill Glint? I never did that bonus, why would you want to kill Glint?

to bad u cant sigint of capture her! I would have loved to get her spell when u are attacked with magic and gain the health rather than damage.

I wish u got something cool from beating her.

well thank you, but i guess its just perfect for glint hunting.

funny thing, tho, is, i forgot to take essence bond, which messed up my energy managment for protective bond ...

and distracting shot is absolutely necessary, since the henchies dont understand the meaning of that "crystal hibernation"

Sure, sure, and if u beat her, you can take the egg out of the cave and grow some sort of "dragon tamagotchi" in your inventory.

Killing Glint is easy if you ask me. The only reason why you can't make it with one Henchman is because the part before Glint is hard. I used to believe Glint was hard, but she's not.. If you know what to do off course.

For the people who want to know what to do:
Pick up the Dragon's Egg, go stand wherever you like, drop the Dragon's Egg, and then pick it up. That makes Glint act like an idiot and wont attack anyone. So just repeat that, and let the Hechman do their job

that maybe true, but believe it or not, i beat her with stephan tanking.
go ahead, try, with 4 of em and no players, and then come back and tell me shes easy.
even with that egg trick you will curse her spells, i guess.

edit: oh and i want to see you, beating her with one henchie... you could take an npc of your choice, and my gang brings you through the cave... and then you can try....

MY Guess is: for going through the domains AND beating glint ONE player and THREE henchies are absolutely minimum. btw i will try that in a week or two
if i can do it, ill try it with only two npcs.
but i will never try it with only one.
