Talk:The Sulfurous Wastes

How do I get onto the plateau where Infantryman Hareh stands? I tried for an hour but found no way. --Parabellum 12:11, 20 November 2006 (CST)
 * Try charging up Junundu Smash nearby and using it next to one of the pillars. This is hearsay though. Spectrus 09:05, 24 November 2006 (CST)

Bohdabi the Destructive needs adding to this page

Amiresh the Pious is in The Alkali Pan, NOT Sulfurous Wastes. Topic edited to show that. TaCktiX, aka Morina Duathi of The Real Order of Chaos [ToC] 14:02, 22 February 2007 (CST) talk

During the quest A Show of Force I met different bosses than the ones mentioned on the page. However they didn't drop anything, and I don't remember their names. N0grav 12:11, 27 December 2006 (CST)

Hard Mode Vanquisher
Being unexperienced with wiki edits, I figured I'd let someone else add this. In hard mode, this area has a total of 258 monsters to kill to earn the Vanquisher point. 76.102.172.202 00:55, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

great stuck at 252 make sure you add that you have to make the pillar go to the other side for the vanquisher or else you won't finish even by pulling 68.101.99.248

I tested the "Junundu Smash" theory, and it does indeed work. You have to charge up smash, go right in front of the piller, and activate smash to make it fall. Then you can go around and cross the piller to get the title. Jrista 21:23, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

Vanquishing is so damn retarded. I get 269 enemies and then I get stuck at the part because I didn't know I had to knock down a pillar. --70.126.182.110 14:17, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

i just noticed the number isn't always the same currently at 250 and still none need some wurms probably depends on your spawn 68.101.99.248 21:57, 20 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I had over 310 kills due to additional spawns from quests that I started during the run. I think its going to be difficult to arrive at accurate numbers of foes to kill until someone does it with all quests completed beforehand. Even then, spawn variations could affect the outcome. Jrista 23:21, 20 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I got 282 with no quests active. What seems to be causing the difference? (I'm the one that put that in the article) --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]   00:26, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
 * we don't need laser percision, just list the highest and lowest values found, and let the user infer from there. obv if a quest generatates 100 foes, it might be a good idea to abandon it before vanquishing an area, but the same is true if a quest empties a spawnpoint for a quest dialog. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 00:29, 21 April 2007 (CDT)
 * As with my entry on GWW, I've changed it to reflect at least the range that I've seen. 68.187.104.8 21:37, 21 April 2007 (CDT)

I just did it with no quests for the region and had 257 enemies to complete it. Tharkun 22:37, 21 April 2007 (CDT)

I vanquished this zone last night with both A Show of Force (with Rune of DOOM in inventory) and Requiem for a Brain active. My total was 360 including activating 7/12 of the Abaddon Shrines. DZwart 14:32, 29 May 2007 (CDT)

A lot of people here are complaining about the pillar business. It happened to me too - I killed everybody and then discovered the area behind the pillar. And then, with everybody killed, you obviously can't knock it down. Well I stuck around anyway, on the path below the pillar. And I was able to lure the nearby margonite units (up the hill, the area behind the pillar) to attack me. I retreated and attacked until the dervish margonite was right beside me on the hill, as close as he can get. And then I was able to pound him enough to raise my adrenaline in order to smash down the pillar. Area vanquished. So my point is - despite the frustration upon finding yourself in this situation, don't abandon the vanquish immediately but explore the possibilities. --Johh 09:18, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I just vanquished this area and was forewarned about the pillar so I made sure to knock it down early. Then I saved that area beyond the pillar for last.  The enemies next to the infantryman were the last to kill and then I got credit for the vanquish.  Then I accepted the infantryman's two quests and fought quite a few more enemies post-vanquish.

# foes in hard mode
New data point -- vanquishing on 246 foes. (No quests active, and I had completed the quest with the rune of DOOM, so there weren't the graven monoliths in the area near the treasure chest.)

Bug
A few times in the sulfurous wastes I will be standing by the monolith temple and will die from the sulfurous haze effect. It usually happens right at the entrance to the temple (nowhere near the sulfer stuff). I hope im not just being stupid and forgetting about something.24.118.152.191 02:47, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

no, at that part there is a small patch of Sulfurous Waste and it DOES kill you just watch out for it

Stone Face
So I was off getting a quest done and I noticed this:. I doubt it's necessary, but think we should mention it's existence? It's near the Infantryman what's-his-name in the NWish area of the map.
 * haha, cool! Never noticed that before... --Soulflame 15:50, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

activating 9 shrines at once
It is completely possible to survive the activation of 9 shrines at once. The Junundu wail is actually broken to the point where a team of 8 can take on a hundred enemies at once XD. I would also like to add that this is the best AFK method of farming, ever! I'm collecting LB points as I type this, while my henchmen fight it out. Wonderful. :] &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.189.183.36 (contribs).
 * The problem is if you come out of the wurms though b.r // talk  23:39, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * But around the monolith shrines, there's no rocky ground, and h/h won't use Leave Junundu on their own. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 02:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
