Talk:Anvil Rock

Anyone assisted the dwarves in their stand against the dryders? There's maybe 6 of them (two monks with -really- interesting staves, I haven't seen that design before.. want one!) and there're several waves of dryders that come up this little ramp-area that's directly east of the Deldrimor Bowl exit. Are these guys for a quest or something? --Nunix 16:39, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I have. Nothing special happens at all.  Similar to the dwarven patrols in, ummm, blanking the name of the area in the S. Shiverpeaks, north of Camp Rankor.  --Rainith 16:53, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I've done that too - pretty little village, and dwarves with interesting titles, but they won't talk to me or even say thanks or offer Little Thom some ale. --Jawn Sno 11:45, 21 August 2006 (CDT)

i was wondering if that was a quest or something, and if i missed something because of the fact i never get any reward for saving them... but i see that it is completly normal... maybe one of those quests that A-net decided not to put in thegame after all, like the mysterious items from Gwen! kendra

Glitch? I tried vanquishing this area...easy as hell, but: 1) the dryders in the little dwarf town on the south end never spawned, nor did any of the dwarves (though i've heard that this sometimes happens, so I wasn't worried). and 2) I got up to 235 kills, and still no vanquish, figured I'd just missed a few minotaur patrols. So I went scouting around, found 2 patrols, killed them, still no vanquish credit. 45 minutes later, I'd left all my heroes and henchies at strategic chokepoints, and had gone around the map in random patterns at least 10 times. STILL nothing... So, is the patrol somehow managing to avoid me and my stationed heroes by pure luck (THAT MUCH?!?) or did i get shafted by a glitch?24.186.207.198 00:26, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Grats

note
does anyone think it's valid to add a note that this area is relatively easy to farm in hard mode? minos are drop dead simple to 55, and they give awesome drops. 76.19.223.231 00:21, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

Confirmation
Upon killing all creatures, you will get Vanquisher if you do not get close enough to the "little village"(neither the dwarves nor the dryers appear). If you have not killed the rest of the area, but have spawned the dryers/dwarves. You will get vanquisher if you finish the area before the dwarves kill the initial spawn of dryers.

Dryders
My wife has found that if you leave the initial dryders for last, killing them will NOT give you the vanquisher title. You will have to also kill the spawns to get vanquisher. :Jarus 17:41, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I just vanquished it, leaving the village for last, and I got the "vanquished" animation after killing the 6 Dryders that appeared in the village. No additional spawns appeared at all.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 04:49, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I just had one group spawn near the exit to Deldrimor Bowl and stay there :Strike When Ready 22:46, 25-09-2007

Just finished vanquishing it and didn't see any dryders in the area of the village at all. There was one small group of centaurs in it and another group of them on the path to it, but that was it. &mdash;Vendetta411 19:54, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

"Take out some patrols below"
Not at all. I tried to do so myself and even with a longbow you can't fire that far away. While the view is fantastic, the latter part of the comment isn't true at all. - Knux 06:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Vanquishing
I really wish I knew what the guy that vanquished this area in 137 did right.... Anyways, I'm currently at 230, and giving up--I've searched every route 3-4 times in both directions over the past hour, making notes of every possible patrol route I could come up with, and can't find another enemy on the map. Guess I'll rezone and try again. Side note, but the little town on the hill in the south had no Dryders at all when I went through, just centaurs. The Goron 21:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Just noticed that guy at the top that had the same problem, heh. That may be more than random coincidence, but... c'est la vie. Vanquished at 228 this time with no problems. Also, centaurs in the town again. Never saw dryders there. [[Image:The_Goron_Triforce_Sig.jpg]] The Goron  23:18, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Similar painful vanquish experience here too. Didn't take all that long to get to 222 kills.  None of the battles were even all that tough, although when that large swarm of dryders came up the hill at me I thought sure it would be a wipe.  (It wasn't.)  Then it took over an hour more to track down one last errant patrol of minotaurs to make the total count 225 for the vanquish.  Ug.  Shadowlance 23:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
