Talk:Aurora Glade (mission)

Looks nice. Let's take out the Elite section though, not gonna be used, ever, I think. --Karlos 09:38, 3 November 2005 (EST)

Did this mission recently become harder?
A few minutes ago I failed my third attempt to do the bonus of this mission, which I find a little alarming. :) I am under the impression that the speed and order in which the White Mantle captures the thorn pedestals at the end of the mission has recently changed. If my memory serves me right, the Mantle always used to go for the thorn pedestal to the left (east) first, and I usually reached it before them. Now when I entered the area, the Mantle already had the pedestal to the right (south) captured, giving them a head start. --84-175 (talk) 12:48, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * The mantle start running for the pedestals at some point, so if you take too long killing the boss after capturing the two altars or something, they might get a good headstart. The mantle always have had one of the pedestals at their control in the start when I have played this, even if I have been as fast as possible. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 14:13, 19 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I always kill all mobs before opening the gate. As for the head start, I might just been mistaken, it's been a while that I played that mission. :) --84-175 (talk) 03:33, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

Perhaps the easiest way to complete the bonus:
Steal the Mantle's crystal! A warrior or other reasonably solid teammate with sprinting skills should not have too much difficulty snatching their crystal and preventing them from tuning any other portals. The snatcher should then run off and hide and NOT drop the crystal until the rest of the team has killed off the Mantle. When snatching the mantle's crystal it is important to time the rush with the crystal's imminent respawn.
