Talk:Pogahn Passage (mission)

Bonus Objectives
I searched everywhere and could only find 3 bonus objectives. The demon one says you can either help fight or stand aside, but regardless of whether I help or not, the guards kill the demon and blame me for it. I'm wondering if the others are only available if the demon lives? Dfscott 21:21, 30 October 2006 (CST)

- I've noticed that the Factions pages have a Trivia section added to them where interesting tidbits of info are added. This mission's dialogues are choke-full of Star Wars (A New Hope) references, would it be alright to add that info? Or is it too soon/spoilerific? No word on the bonus objectives either. -Tene 217.129.10.157 21:42, 30 October 2006 (CST)
 * I'd say go for it. Tihark Orchard has at least one Real Genius reference so I created a Trivia section and stuck it in there. Dfscott 20:06, 31 October 2006 (CST)

- I have tried bringing different heros to see if I get any different reactions from the guards. Aside from the centaur, I haven't noticed anything special. There is a named NPC by one of the gates, Guard Linno who doesn't seem to do anything. -Alinius

- I did the mission earlier and got masters although it said I had completed 4/5 optional objectives. I obtained the code. Slayed the demon. Talked to guard linno to "watch his post" (but just kept going). Escorted the prisoners. And I also kept all prisoners alive in hopes it was the 5th, but apparently got best I could anyways. Could be a bug to my number, but also didnt see anything else I could have accomplished.

-- I just did the mission, and got Master's with 4 out of 5 (couldn't find the 5th) as well. Updating page with that number, if anyone could check if 2 optionals done, that would be nice. Sounds more logical with 2-3 Expert, 4-5 Masters. --Rydier 01:47, 1 November 2006 (CST)

--- Why do we even think there's a 5th? The mission makes no mention of it. ~ BlueNovember

I just mastered it aswell - after a couple of failed attempts (*sighs*) - and does now indeed state that there are 4 additional objectives and not 5. (User:Girion 03:02, 3 November 2006 (CST))

Masters aswell, with the 4 objectives completed. 2 real players, 1 mm, 1 wmo (using life bond on shahai and the minion master, using a full adrenaline build to compensate for the lack of sp regen. Can get away with just 2 hench or hero monks in that case. Magua 13:57, 4 November 2006 (CST)

Star Wars parody
Bring the centaur hero for a funny parody of Star Wars at the begining of the mission. Hibou 10:39, 31 October 2006 (CST)

No damage or healing problems?
From the notes:
 * "An alternative to a human monk, is use 3 hero/henchmen monks. There was no problem with damage or healing with a group consisting of 2 healing and 1 protection Hero monk (2 live players as tanks).  If soloing you can achieve the same result having 1 hero healing 1 hero protection, and taking a henchman monk."

Has anyone actually tested this or is it baseless speculation? Captain Nebo can and will kill Shahai with one nuke. This means she needs to be constantly protected by a skill like Protective Spirit or Shelter during the battle with Nebo or she will die resulting in mission failure, there is currently no way to command heroes or henchment to buff a specific ally, which means there is no way to guarantee that they will protect Shahai. -- Gordon Ecker 19:02, 7 November 2006 (CST)
 * It turns out heroes try to use your target for buffs as well as offensive skills, so keeping Shahai selected and manually activating Protective Spirit will work, but I wouldn't call it easy. Life Barrier + Life Bond should also work, and Protective Bond might work, but would probably require giving the hero Protective Bond and several energy management skills, with everything except energy management skills disabled to prevent Protective Bond from ending. -- Gordon Ecker 02:06, 8 November 2006 (CST)

I really don't think it's as hard as you make it out to be. I have done this mission on 4 different characters and she hasn't died once. However, I believe that Shahai was lvl 16 when NF first came out. Subsequently, her level, and presumably HP has risen. However, if you are paranoid about her dying, simply plant your flag and retreat slightly to the edge of the aggro zone. Use a long/recurve/flatbow to help select targets for your party (yes, you need not be a ranger to use a bow and can reach enemies outside of the aggro zone). A minion master is helpful (either Olias or Master of Whispers). Zhed is useful as a warder as well. Crimson Butcher 06:00, 23 November 2006 (CST)


 * Eh... I had Zhed as a Prodigy Interupter, with one Hero Monk. Thats it for defense. Plowed through it. Dont see why you think THREE monks is necessary. 71.207.231.207 15:48, 24 November 2006 (CST)
