Talk:Gate of Pain (mission)

Hero's and Henchmen
Believe it or not, this mission is rather easy. I completed the mission first try with heroes and henchmen and got the Expert reward (2 swords). So don't be afraid to take henchmen into this mission. My team consisted of: Me (par/war), Tahlkora, Dunkoro, Acolyte Jin, Holy, Fighter, Fire and Blood henchies.

Be sure to take Acolyte Jin with both Distracting Shot and Savage Shot. If you took Sousoke, then you should hopefully have Magrid, so use her. Just be sure to pull all the dryders on their own and dont forget to flag your henchies to move if a dryder should get a meteor shower away.

As for the demons, be sure to take Lightbringer's Gaze! I didn't even use an elite skill! :) --Neon 05:00, 12 November 2006 (CST)

I concur with the above. This mission is complete Charr doodoo compared to the rest of the region. You don't even need a longbow, or Lightbringer's Gaze - I didn't use either of these and it worked out for me. Just be sure that at least two of your party members can interrupt. I suggest either the ranger heroes or Norgu with his robotic interrupts. Manage your aggro and you'll be fine. Kessel 09:20, 14 November 2006 (CST)

I have made some changes to the walkthrough grammar and links Right at the same time as another user (within minutes)...I also managed to crash my rig and this wiped out the whole article bar the notes... What a night!! Drew 00:25, 14 November 2006 (CST)

Henchmen appear to take damage from Dreadful Pain, Heros don't. Can anybody else confirm? Devona appears to take damage when she invokes shout, whereas Koss doesn't. -Grumpy 21:30, 22 November 2006 (CST)
 * I can confirm that. --waywrong 05:39, 23 November 2006 (CST)

I can say that this mission has been significantly updated since I last came through it. Terrorweb Dryders now carry Mark of Rodogort and there are extra patrols of Torment monsters. The Emmisaries have been updated, and also there is a huge implementation of the classic "Gank the Monk" AI. Neon 22:48, 1 December 2006 (CST)

Has anyone noticed this mission has become much harder than before? The first time I beat NF, this mission was pretty easy and I didn't even have a pure interrupter. But now on another character, even with an interrupter I just can't beat this mission. It seems like hell compared to Gates of Madness... 75.45.191.186 16:04, 11 January 2007 (CST)

I don't know about the before, but this mission indeed looks like beeing the most difficult of the game if you want the master reward, and rather difficult even if you let the emissaries and three friend dryders alone. Abbadon's Gate would come second and Gate of Madness a distant third.80.156.46.119 10:34, 2 February 2007 (CST)


 * That's ridiuculous. I did this mission with heroes and henches a week ago, and I got masters on the first try. Dzagonur Bastion and Gate of Madness are the only missions in NF that are hard to get masters on (Moddok's Crevice masters is easy as long as you bring real players with snares). --Shattered Self 00:02, 17 February 2007 (CST)

Enemy follow?
Alright, my party was wiped out just south of the location of the 3rd Elite Emissary, due to a miscoordination between the attacks on the Emmisary, his group, and the Tortureweb Dryer, so we ended up aggroing them all at the same time. However, I managed to escape, and although I did so easily at first, one Terrorweb Dryer started following me all across the map!!! I was a D/Mo with Avatar of Balthazar, which I used and although I was more than 2 radar screens ahead of the Dryer, he was still following!!! So i made several circles, hoping he would eventually stop following, which he didn't.. So I then tried rezzing a team mate, but although the Emissary and his mob retreated to their usual location, away from the Tortureweb Dryer near which my teammates' corpses were located, when I went near them they suddenly started to charge on my location, a whole radar worth of range away!!! Now, short of ArenaNet resorting to using human players to control the enemies, I fail to see a reasonable explanation of the above.. It's driving me INSANE!

 * That's just the way the AI is, sometimes it will become bugged and will chase you forever, it's not a distinct bug in the mission, but a bug with the AI. --waywrong 04:24, 7 December 2006 (CST)

okay, a quick update on the AI issue. After testing several times, I found that right after you come out of the cave and reach the river at the beginning of the mission there will be an emissary and his terrorweb guards behind a fence. If you aggro, or attack him through the fence, you will bug the AI and that group of emissary + terrorwebs chase you across the entire zone once you get into radar range. The only way to deaggro them is to die (thus failing the mission). I guess the best way to ensure this doesn't happen is to not aggro through the fence. (added to notes)--waywrong 22:50, 12 December 2006 (CST)

I CANNOT beat this mission!!! I have collected master's rewards on all missions except for Grand court and Mardock Carverns and that is because I did not redo them. This one is a pain. I picked up Norgu just for his interrupts and I tried a boon Prot Monk, I even set up Dunkoro with Shelter and Protective spirit....what gives...Lightbringers Gaze has too slow of a recharge for it to be effective...I also had Terror Web Drypders follow for ages.--Sangual Bain N-Legion Of Aces 15:16, 7 December 2006 (CST)
 * Just take a ranger with daze since they only use spell. I did it with no problem with Jin equipe with Broadhead arrow.&mdash; ├ A  ratak  ┤  15:20, 7 December 2006 (CST)
 * I did this with a pickup group with my monk and we had no problem getting masters. I suspect underworld solo farming techniques would work well on the dryders from what I observed (like spellbreaker and sympathetic/ancestors visage Mo/Me bonders or the similar E/Me tanks).
 * I've since done this with my Ele, and I can verify that the dryders and even the emissary is easy using earth magic solo farming techniques. I doubt I could beat the margonites with my solo build, however, due to enchantment removal. I have some tips from what I observed: most warrior-types die fighting the dryders, which are fire elementalists.  If you're a monk secondary (or have a friendly monk to cast it), Spellbreaker works well - even better, Spell Breaker and Sympathetic/Ancestor's Visage (drained elementalists are easy to beat).  A mesmer secondary has mantra of fire and elemental resistance (both are stances and the latter will hinder you against the Emissary of Dhuum, a Warrior here).  Hex removal helps warriors survive (Mark of Rodgort) and condition removal helps against burning.  The water magic spell Frigid Armor seems almost ideal against the Emissary and Dryders he's with because you get physical armor and can't get set on fire (but need a lot of points in water magic to maintain).  Elementalists can earth tank if needed, but having some area of effect killing power in a group helps a lot.  Assassins, Mesmers, and Rangers should all do well here, as all make good anti-casters.--66.93.17.228 10:13, 24 January 2007 (CST)

Emissary Of Dhuum
Why does it say immune to lightbringers, I just used it on one? I'm removing this.

Henchmen and heroes
This mission could be done with henchmen and heroes, that's right. But I think putting daze (Broad Head Arrow) and Meteor Shower on Tortureweb Dryders will help to take them off in seconds. Motivation henchman Sogolon and two healers - Kihm and Mhenlo - makes this mission a total fun. Try yourself!

Absolutely agree here. I went as a pure Dervish, brought Jin and Norgu set up to interrupt, Odurra, Sogolon, and the two healer henchies. Finished the mission with Master's in about 30 min with 8% morale boost all around. Go slow, don't fight demon groups at the same time as Terrorwebs or Torturewebs, and it's pretty easy.Bloodarrow 16:49, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Emissary Of Dhuum Again
I removed the bit about immune to lightbringers because they aren't immune (at least I have used lightbringers on them every time I've run into one) So can this be confirmed please? So it doesn't get put back in because someone though I removed it because I am a vandal. TimOfDoom

Nevermind..--TimOfDoom 16:04, 8 January 2007 (CST)

yo ridiculous
this mission is wild and real tuff you cant farm it or nothin peace homeSIinky 21:17, 5 January 2007 (CST)

FOUR monks??
Wow. Why in the world would you need four monks for this mission? I've had to go through this one well over a dozen times, both with my own chars and helping guildies or friends, and in none of those cases have we had more than two healers (which have varied between monks, rits, and motivation paragons). Two monks + 1 spellcaster shutdown (whether ranger, mesmer, or even a temple strike sin) are perfectly capable to get through this. I'm sorry, but four monks is crazy to have as a "recommended team for the mission", in my opinion. Removing the relevant sections from the article.

Also need to disagree with you suggesting against bringing Reversal of Fortune here. With all those high-damage spells being cast around, the efficiency of RoF is maximised here, since it'll almost always negate and heal for its maximum value. The problem with the environmental effect doesn't stem from RoF's 1/4s cast time, but by the fact that monks by the very nature of the spikey AoE damage in this zone will need to be doing a whole lot of casting to keep the party health bars up, which means they'll be casting a whole lot, and taking a great deal of damage. RoF has nothing to do with it.

Hope that makes sense. If not, we can talk it over more, I guess. --Dirigible 12:46, 1 February 2007 (CST)

FOUR monks?? an answer
Using four monks made my travel there rather easy ; that's a good reason to suggest it. After all, the environment effect is very harsh, especially for my character (an assassin) who uses one skill every one-two seconds who thus requires constant healing (or be useless) : just for him, it costs the almost exclusive support of of monk. I feel that other professions will face the same problem.

Thus I disagree with the removal of the section since I only suggested that it was quite doable with four monks and an interrupter, a team composition that some might be loath to try : if it made the mission easier for me, it should also help others ; still, that's not a "recommended build", just a "possible build". I did the mission master with another player (which is not the same as doing it it solo) with less than four monks. Section amended and put back again.

About RoF, I agree with you. I have nothing specific against RoF and I rather warned against spamming builds, for which RoF (at least for monks) is often a piece of choice. I the global warning about spamming builds is clearly a better wording. Yves. 80.156.46.119 07:55, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * Well, the reason it made your travel there easy is that after all... you have FOUR monks, half the party is dedicated exclusively to keeping the red bars up. Is there ANY area that wouldn't be easy with four monks? Even for the elite missions with 12 people in the party, Urgoz's Warren and the Deep, people bring at most three monks. Even the Domain of Anguish groups bring at most 3 monks, which is probably the most challenging area of the Nightfall campaign. I find the logic deeply flawed.
 * Nonetheless, I'm not going to revert your re-adding of that information to the article, because doing so I'd be breaking GW:1RV (policy which you broke by readding that information to the article). Hopefully someone else will see this and add a third person view to this argument.--Dirigible 08:39, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * Note that I changed the wording to account for your opinion, and cut the section in two parts, one about the team composition, and one about good monk skill suggestions. To this, I'd say that my advice is turned to doing the area solo with master reward, with a main character (assassin) that is probably one of the worst for the place (high skill usage). Not all players are top notch (I am not : I'm unable to go into the elite area of which you speak), and I believe these extra indications should help them master a somewhat difficult mission. As for not having teams with too many monks, there are good reasons : You have to balance the team between offense and defense ; too much offense and you'll get too many deaths ; too little and the fight will be too long, exhausting the monks and ending anyway in the team's demise. There definitely are areas where four or more monks are a bad idea (it wouldn't help for the last two missions of the Faction campaign for example). I wanted to highlight the fact that this mission could be done with four monks. Hope this clarifies my intent.

80.156.46.119 08:57, 2 February 2007 (CST) As a suggestion - it's not even really 'about' whether or not four monks are necessary. What it's 'about' is that there are very few monks in the enemy groups - which means four non-monks will still bring enough DPS to kill everything. It may take longer, but the punch line is that the mission isn't timed. It doesn't matter how long you take killing the Emissaries, as long as you eventually do it. So while there may not be a reason to bring four monks, there's really no compelling reason 'not' to. Even if it takes twice as long, if you fail less than half as often, you're still ahead! Auntmousie 22:40, 9 February 2007 (CST)

Separating Emissaries
Ok, I'm not quite willing to delete it from the mission walkthrough, but ... exactly what do you have to do to separate the Emissaries from their Terrorweb Dryder escorts? I've never, ever, not even once, managed to get them to do this. On one occasion I attacked a Terrorweb Dryder while it was almost two full bubbles away from the rest of the group - no such luck, they swarmed when I attacked. On another occasion, while fighting my way into the center, I realized that a patrol had moved in too far, and I had too much aggro - so I flagged my heroes out to the outer ring and ran, and the Emissary followed me. So did his entire patrol. Like I said, I won't change the walkthrough over it but boy would I love to see a screenshot... Auntmousie 22:48, 9 February 2007 (CST)

My Master's Build
Here's the Hero/Hench build I used to solve this mission at the Master's level.

Louise Veraci (My IGN) P/W

Tahlkora Mo/Me

Dunkoro Mo/Me

Acolyte Jin R/x

Henchies included
 * Cynn (Fire Mage for dmg)
 * Herta (Earth Mage for protection and dmg)
 * Sogolon (Paragon for support)
 * Gehraz (Dervish for more AoE)

Thank you, thank you. That worked really really well :) -Ataraxia Sequester

Cinematic bugged?
I've finished this mission (with Master's reward) and I was watching cinematic. It was rather dull 'cause there were maybe three sentences - speech of Dunkoro's son. After that I had to watch this scene for about 2 minutes before mission icon appeared:



The only action there was Dunkoro turning to Kormir and to my character. First I thought that they're talking and I have some issue with my speakers, but subtitles weren't showing up. Matek  11:25, 12 March 2007 (CDT)

Solo
Is it really possible to solo? There has been a buff of the ele's and I can't get it done. Its even hard with a real team now. Maybe some update needed? Moeilijk 16:29, 24 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Done it again master with my new necro ; not even very performant. Heroes/Henchmen did most of the work. It was not more difficult than before.Yves 06:32, 16 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Maybe it's hard with real teams because most PUGs suck? Try equipping your heroes with adequate skills.  For this mission, as a Leadership-Paragon, I used a Command-paragon (General Morgahn), a WoH Monk (Dunkoro) and a tank (Koss) and the two healer and ele henchies.  "Incoming!" and "There's Nothing to Fear!" really help mitigate the damage you receive.  Also, remember to target the dryders first as they can deal MASSIVE damage if not dealt with swiftly.  70.52.8.77 03:47, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Expert
Killed 2 Emissaries (left the difficult one out) and only 1 sword -.- --Birchwooda Treehug 18:08, 29 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Are you sure you killed two of the additional Emissaries? Because the first one that you have to kill doesn't count towards the bonus.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 15:13, 30 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Hm, I didn't check the log. I killed two (for both we had to cross a bridge every time). And I only know of the last one in the middle with some larger mobs around, that we left out --Birchwooda Treehug 06:43, 1 July 2007 (CDT)
 * The first one was right after the very first bridge you came to in the mission, though, right? At the same point where you killed the first Tortureweb Dryder after the Lich's dialogue?  That's the one that doesn't count for the bonus.  And the other one was in a dead-end area across another bridge, with three Terrorweb Dryders?  There's a second one inside the building, yes, but there's also a third one in a similar bridge+dead end area on the other side of the building (see the map in the article, the yellow dots are the bonus Emissaries). &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 11:37, 1 July 2007 (CDT)

In relation to this, I killed 4 emissaries (the manditory 1 and the 3 bonus ones) and all of their dryders, but only got experts because I killed one bonus group before the bonus activated.--68.42.212.162 12:53, 2 July 2007 (CDT)

Bug?
I've also found this mission is MUCH harder than before. I have always henched this mission, but it seems near impossible now without a dedicated interrupter, some massive damage dealers, 4 monks and a whole lot of luck. All my other characters have gotten masters easily on the first try. I also seem to have found a bug... I have killed all 4 emmisaries (A few times I have even managed to pull one or more from the terroweb mob) yet have recieved only the standard reward...repeatedly. I have gotten this result over 20 times now, and I'm baffled. But then again, it seems that my current character is encountering this problem on several missions...doing the bonus, and getting the standard reward (even in the other two campaigns) maybe it's cursed! LOL!
 * I don't think its a bug. I believe you have to kill the Terrorwebs to in order to make it update itself. I just killed them in HM with H/H and after i had killed all 3 i noticed that i had only killed 2/3 emissaries. I realised that i hadn't killed the Terrorwebs in the middle so i did and it updated itself. --Arthas 22:42, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Exploiting the bug
The bug where dryders keep following can be exploited. Just let your team stand far far awat from the battle, let one player agro the dryders, so they start following, he runs back to the team. Now comes the fun part, after a certain time most dryders stop following and return to their position, kill the ones who dont, this way you dont need to deal with the entire party. Also when you kill the first ones, the rest will start following you again. so be fast while killing them.

I did this trick with H&H, and it worked all times

Ursan Blessing
This elite Norn skill (rank 5 here, even better ar rank 10 - rank 1 lightbringer, can be better with r8) makes this mission ridiculously easy. High damage, a lot of health, mass knockdowns... Master completion with my Mesmer in 30 minutes. &mdash; Abedeus   12:48, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Everything is easy with ursan, not just this mission. Which is why it ruins PvE Piggyboy 21:02, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Tips Section
I added Ward Against harm as a good skill to bring if available, especially if hero-henching. Even if an interrupt fails on th dryders, the damage becomes very manageable. Also not bad for the other groups. -Ruse 04:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

 * About the same way as any other class does any other mission against fire elementalists, perhaps?

Hard Mode with HH
I am one mission away from Legendary Guardian and this one is just a huge roadblock for me. I usually am able to take missions on with full Hero/Hench parties with ease but i just can't seem to put a dent in this one. At one point i made it past killing the first extra Emmisary but then took a nose dive while fighting the next Torture Web. So i was hoping i could find some help here. I run a Necro and can use ANY build you put forth. Please and Thank you. --Lavitz 22:07, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid its basically impossible. =P Really, you'll need to take good monks, and flag heroes relentlessly to keep them out of Meteor Showers. Also, as with any hard thing in Guild Wars: Consumables. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  22:35, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * While I haven't tried this mission in hard mode, considering that it is neither difficult, complicated, nor timed in easy mode, this doesn't strike me as the sort of mission likely to be challenging in hard mode (not that such guessing is always accurate). Is there some reason why the standard anti-fire techniques that you presumably used in Hell's Precipice fail here?  You don't give much detail on where you're getting stuck.  Quizzical 23:40, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Just did it solo with my Ranger, 2 necros from the 3 Necro Vanquish team, Dunkoro (LoD) replacing the healing necro and 4 henchies (E,Me,Mo(prot) and P). It went like a breeze. Interrupt of the showers is crucial. Daze condition does wonders on Tortureweb Dryders and careful pulling ensure that you do not have to fight 2 groups at the same time. Loranoutan 04:28, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * H/H'ed it too some time ago. BHA is all you need. Well, minions too. Then fill with a Ward Against Harm and Ward of Stability Water/Earth hybrid ele. I'm sure you can do either of these jobs, last spot by some kind of healer/protter/awkward gimmick. Spread the NPC's, make sure the Torture Web (or are those the Terrorweb?) are dazed before you start attacking (send the BHA ahead); you have several seconds before making aggro to set up everything. Watch the patrols, wiped once because I didn't realized there was a group of demons and dryders overlapping. Patience, like with any HM mission. My guess is that you can do better with the wards around. I went me as BHA ranger, MM and SS from Sabway, and E/Mo Ether Renewal Prot spam heros. Did as r7 LB. Regarding the torment demons, like usual, kill Rains first, Arms last, take off Quickening Zephyr soon. --Alf&#39;s Hitman 03:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * So let's see here. You advise bringing a broad head arrow ranger, a spiteful spirit necro, a minion master necro, an elementalist healer, and a earth/water elementalist.  That's five hero slots you've filled up, and without bringing Dunkoro.  HH usually means henchmen/heroes, meaning you've got at most three heroes.  The mission requires one of those three heroes to be Dunkoro.  Quizzical 04:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh, long time I don't do it. Then it was Dunkoro with a typical WoH hybrid bar instead of the ER I use. Read more carefully, I put somewhere in there that I'm guessing bringing wards will make it easier. I brought SS and it was tough, with both wards it probably will be easier. I suggested BHA+Ward ele+MM, and then some kind of healer (spot filled by Dunkoro I guess). The player can substitute these roles with ease, either going party wide damage reduction or caster shutdown, through KD's, interrupts or spirits already mentioned such as Shelter. After explaining what could probably beat it, I mentioned what I brought. With a ward against harm most of the damage gets halved (from the torture and terror web) and a MM will hold the attention of the monsters, so then you can substitute the BHA with some other way of shutting down casters. Mesmers can do it, eles can do it, rangers can do it, melee can do it, Paragons don't need any special tactics, rits can do it, perhaps only monks may have problem with these tactics. --Alf&#39;s Hitman 02:04, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I just soloed this mission on HM, even though I killed all Emissaries I didn't get the bonus, I guess you need Dunkoro to speak his almighty words so the bonus gets activated, but that shouldn't be a problem if I make my hench n stuff fight a little bit till the first Tortureweb. My bar was:

Of course I used Candy Corn, and you'll also need a brain cause there are 2 things that can kill you, minions from the Shadow of Fear and the Scythe guys. --TrinityX 25 November 2008
 * Hm...if the dryders behave the same as the ones in Tombs, then you ought to be able to solo them, yeah?
 * Anyway if I remember correctly, the bonus is activated after you kill the first Emissary...that is what usually happens to me. As long as you leave one Tortureweb alone, then you can take out the extra Emissaries without worrying. Meh, must be a bug? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 15:26, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope tried again, no bonus appears in my quest log even after killing one Dhuum, the one in the middle. Should it even show in your quest log? I even took my hench and Dunkoro to the middle and they were in range when I killed it, but no bonus objective ;/

EDIT: I forgot to kill the Dryders that come with the Dhuum's, normally you'll want to target them first so it looks like you only need to kill the Dhuums but you need to kill all, so I could run this for 6 ppl now, because I only need Dunkoro. TrinityX 16:41, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Soul Torture
when i attaked a torture web, while it was in the middle of casting soul torture, it stoped and started to attack, i tried this multiple times, always happens. maybe you should revise the tip about this


 * Did you or a hero interrupt it? It's generally adviseable to bring interrupts for elsewhere in the mission, and heroes don't know to refrain from interrupting particular skills.  You might be right, but when I did the mission, I just assumed that Norgu was interrupting the cast.  Quizzical 22:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

hm masters
Beat it, never going back. I took me, and ursan r6, my life sheath prot monk, my BHA ranger, and my sf elle, along with the 2 healer henchies, devona, and cynn. I ended it with 60 dp, i wish i had a powerstone. The emmisaries and groups were relatively easy, for some of them i had to rush in, kill 2 of the elles, than run away, than come back for the kill.

 * Don't forget his Life Sheath hero. A waste of an elite. Cynn is also kinda useless when Herta has the so l33t Ward Against Melee. If you want melee, bring minions, srsly. --Alf&#39;s Hitman 03:12, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Bugged!
Did mission with my Paragon-Mesmer plus Heroes and Henchies with few problems. Had to run away a couple of times with the threat of extra agro, but otherwise not too bad. Killed all three emissaries but got credited with only 1 (BUG!!!), so I'll have to do it again.

Skill Bar as follows: Vicious Attack -- Cruel Spear -- Disrupting Throw -- Aria of Zeal -- Lightbringer's Gaze -- You Move Like A Dwarf -- Leech Signet -- Sunspear Rebirth Signet.

I took: Dunkoro (pure healer), Zhed (water ele), Vekk (fire ele), Kihm, Cynn, Odurra & Devona.

Only a couple of henchie and heroe deaths. Using interupts as much as possible really helps.

--Shomah

Bug: Dunkoro reviving himself
I've just witnessed a very useful bug or exploit: Half of my Hero/Hench-team was nuked down by those nice Dryders. Me, Sogolon, Cynn and Eve managed to survive. However, our Res Signets were all used. I moved forward in the mission in order to try to kill a boss. Then, just before the first bridge, a dialogue startet between Kormir and Dunkoro. As a result (that's what I assume), Dunkoro was revived and we were able to go on with a fully-revived team. Could it be that Dunkoro was revived "automatically" because he was needed for the dialogue? Just like when you enter a cutscene? Is this a known exploit? Does it occur on other places as well? I am pretty sure that there was no way for my henchies to revive Dunkoro. Might need to try it again to be 100% sure.
 * Cutscenes always revive important members of the party. Important means anyone who even stands around during the cutscene. --Kale Ironfist 13:39, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Point is, it's not a cutscene. Just dialogue. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  13:43, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Cutscenes are rendered in real-time, so mechanically there is no difference. Dialogue can only occur if the character is alive, so Dunkoro is resurrected. --Kale Ironfist 13:52, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * In GW terms a Cutscene is where you have no control and should press "esc" asap. A Dialogue is where annoying chat boxes pop up, which you should doubleclick early and often. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  14:07, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Dervish Easy Standard
I did this mission this morning with my dervish. I took vital boon, Lightbringer's gaze, avatar of dwayna,vital blessing, mystic sweep, eternal aura and mystic regeneration. keep avatar of dwayna active with eternal aura and you nullify dreadful pain. I also took dunkoro with a protection build, general morgahn with default build and koss with all the axe mastery skills you can get in prophecies before lions arch and endure pain. mhenlo, khim, cynn and devona. at the bridge instead of going west after killing the emissary of dhuum go north and kill the first two tourturewebbs so you dont have to go past the bridge at the top and then go back. i did this with istani armour, but when i got to the last two tourturewebbs me, dunkoro, koss, devona and mhenlo had 60 death penalty and so died in 1 attack from the tourturewebbs. morgahn is a great hero.--Hugarh 12:00, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

 * It is possible for a player to body block a spirit and hold it ransom, demanding payment from the party if they wish to finish the mission.

 * Even if it's true, do we really want to publicize it? Quizzical 02:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ice Caves of Sorrow (mission) has the same thing, with Evennia [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 03:19, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't recommend publicizing it on that page, either. Quizzical 04:22, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well on the one hand I think that being part of the game, it ought to be documented somewhere. But on the other hand I see where you are going, it is like giving ambitious players an easy and harmless way to scam people. Hmm. Moral dilemna.

 * Well, like any scam, it can be reported... [[Image:Shogankillername.jpg|x19px]] 23:33, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I favor publicizing it without the suggestion of holding it hostage. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:37, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
