Ruins of Morah (mission)

Mission Objectives

 * Kill Varesh.

Note: General Morgahn is required in this mission.

Walkthrough
The mission consists of 2 parts:

Part 1
Varesh will spawn as Prophet Varesh, Dervish on Level 29 with 3 Margonite Clerics. Kill all 3 Clerics and attack Varesh. This part is quite easy.

Varesh possesses 3 powerful skills:

You can use Attack skills and Stances freely, for you will not be knocked down. There must be a mistake in the description. You can't inerrupt this skill with soft interrupts, for it is an Attack. Use Clumsiness or Ineptitude to interrupt it.
 * Earth Vortex: Varesh will use this skill frequently. It deals 15 earth damage every second to everyone in the area around Varesh for 30 seconds and will knock down foes using skills.

You can't inerrupt this skill with soft interrupts, for it is an Attack. Use Clumsiness or Ineptitude to interrupt it.
 * Frost Vortex: Varesh will use this skill frequently. It deals 50 cold damage every 3 seconds to foes around Varesh and will slow down moving characters by 90% for 10 seconds during the 30 seconds it lasts.


 * Enchantment Collapse: Varesh will cast this Hex Spell on characters with Enchantments on them. When the target loses one Enchantment, it will lose every Enchantment.

After you have killed Varesh for the first time, she will come back as a Paragon at level 30.

Part 2
Varesh will respawn as Commander Varesh, Paragon at level 30 with some other enemies. Her skills will be:
 * Call of Sacrifice: Target foe loses 20% health every second for 20 seconds or until the target is at 20% health.


 * Enemies Must Die!: With this shout, Varesh gives her allies a target.

Player solutions for this mission
This is a very hard mission. The best group to have for this is just you, your heroes and some henchmen. I'm a warrior, so from my prespective, I used me, both monk heroes and 2 healer henchmen, the paragon hero, a fire henchmen, and the illusion henchmen. When you eneter, you will be in an arena with 3 cleric monsters and Varesh(dervish form). Varesh is level 29 and the clerics are 24. Kill all 3 clerics first, then go for Varesh she is very easy, but just takes a while to kill her. Once you kill her, she will respawn as a MM(minion master) and will be level 30. In this form she will summon many minions, without the need of bodies. Don't fight any of the minions ever, because they will instantly respawn. Focus on just Varesh, and make sure the tank stays alive because she hits damn hard. The only trick to this is to keep the warrior alive at all costs, if you aren't a warrior, make sure you bring a warrior hero and not a warrior henchmen, and make sure the warrior has max armor and some good defensive skills. You absolutely have to have 4 healers, and the paragon needs to be p/mo in order to heal. Her minions will be bashing away at someone, and make sure it's the warrior. Only one warrior is needed for this mission, and a second is a waste of a spot. This mission might take a couple tries, and if you fail the first time, keep trying, and once you get the hang of it, it's easy.

Other Way to beat her:
I, Dervish Diana (D/Mo) tried this mission and discovered that there is a tactic on dealing with varesh that might save your skin ...The room is build like an arena with a pit in the middle .when u have killed the monks (margonite clerics) , get across the room to the other side where an entrance is locked. she will follow you, but no fear .... cause the place where she is the most dangerous is inside the pit. The ring outside the pit will be the place where u take her down... The second time she summons demons. wait and lure them group by group, here is where i disagree with the other author. she eventually stops making minnions !!! ( took down 'bout 5 groups and then it was quiet again ). Anyway the best way to get her down is to lure her out of the pit and try to use sympathetic visage or any other energy draining methode. then it will be doable to finish her off. good luck !!!!

U Have to have at least 3 monks and it might help if u use an illusion mesmer (hero/hench or human)with sympathetic visage and ancestors visage. just to take her energy away

Ammo Ltizzle - Used a variation of these two tactics....Changed Gen Morgahn's skills to all Healing. Brought Koss as the tank, and Jin. On Jin I equipped muddy terrain and had him cast it near Varesh. Killed Clerics first, then Varesh. I was set for pure smiting--half signets and half spells including Lightbringer's Gaze (acquired for Achieving Lvl 2 Lightbringer)...also brought along 2 Hench healers, Odurra (Mesmer hench) and Devona. 2nd part of mission, stayed (as stated above) way up in entrance and ordered hench/heros to stay too. Killed demons and started spamming Muddy Terrain and Balthazar's aura on tank. If Varesh goes too far back, you can aggro more demons so use Ranger to lure. cake!
