Talk:Nundu Bay (mission)

Mission Details
The bosses that spawn during the waves in this mission are random, contrary to what it says in the description.

Ive done the mission twice and each time got the described bosses.--Melonhead901 02:53, 2 December 2006 (CST)


 * I did the mission three times and got the same bosses in the same order, so that's what I put in the article. Got any screenshots of a different order of bosses?  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] (talk|contribs) 03:04, 2 December 2006 (CST)

--I just went through the mission... and the bosses didn't go in that order. I don't remember exactly, but the monk came first, and the dervish was last. If I go through it again, I'll try to get screenshots of the different boss order. 71.205.72.110 16:23, 13 February 2007 (CST)
 * I just went through the mission and found that the bosses weren't in the same order either. The Monk led the first group, then the Elementalist, then the Paragon, and finally the Dervish. Jarus 12:23, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
 * >-Edit: Actually, they do seem to have come in the same order after all! Just, the Elementalist came before the Paragon, not vice versa. Jarus 13:15, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

Did the mission on December 27, 2006, no margonites attacked me, went out, cleared everything, found only one boss, made bonus but could not finish mission as the final Nightbinger did not show up. 193.230.240.25 09:33, 27 December 2006 (CST)

Just did the mission with my monk. I didnt take the vial of purified water from elder jonah, and the margonites didnt attack, i was able to go out and pull them freely. Prism bound 01:15, 29 December 2006 (CST)

The Harbingers are susceptible to damage from Insidious Parasite, even when not affected by a Vial. I suspect it is this way with all attacks that steal health rather than cause damage. This note should probably be added to the main page. EatMoreBread 22:50, 17 February 2007 (CST)

Did the mission yesterday. When I fought with the final Harbringer, and final Margonites spawned only after I kill him. --85.114.2.233 05:59, 24 April 2007 (CDT)

Re: Cleanup
This is actually one of the better-looking Nightfall mission articles, IMHO. There's no huge list of "Tips and Strategy" (cf. Grand Court of Sebelkeh), the walkthroughs are fairly concise... Not really anything to cleanup. &mdash;Dr Ishmael (talk|contribs) 23:22, 30 December 2006 (CST)

Nice simple, helpful guide. I had to make a small edit to clarify that the Margonites spawn at the main Harbinger when he's at half health because they caught me off guard as I had killed all the others outside prior to facing him and I died :( TheGit 20:02, 21 January 2007 (CST)

Jonah Problems
I recently did the mission again with two more characters, and both times I got busted in the first run when the Harbinger of Nightfall was at about 5% health by Jonah getting killed. I did clear a *wide* area of Margonites before acception the Water. It seems some adds now spawn in when you get the Harbinger to almost zero. You _can_ still make it, then, but if you're not fast enough in killing it in the very end, you'll experience a very annoying sudden death unless you go back to Ronjok.

Mission goals
At no point in this mission does it tell you what to do. The only objective it seems to give is "Defend Jonah".--Emkyooess 22:19, 20 February 2007 (CST)

Istani Peasants?
Why are Istani Peasants defending Ronjok? Isn't it a Kournan village? Jarus 13:14, 13 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I'll be charitable towards Anet and believe that it's not a bug, it's simply Melonni's dream, and she now identifies with Istan more than with Kourna. After all, she's fighting Kourna's armed forces and the Kournan villagers just kicked her out. Issa Dabir 12:21, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

End Harbringer
Well, i got the vial (and i saw on the compass that there were some groups going into the "town") and i ran towards the bonus. That jonah figure was still alive. Anyway i killed the 2 harbringers for bonus and headed north, but no harbringer of nightfall :S. And the map isn't much help either, that really needs an update. So where is that harbringer ?

I also see that the vial is doing 50 dmg.

Easy going, without any strategies
Just done it with my warrior (W/R), set up primarily about Splinter Weapon-100 Blades, heroes and henchies. Consider taking a MM and an order hero: it took me only one vile for each harbinger (including the bonus ones and the harbinger of Nightfall).

Party setup: poorly skilled Melonni (I don't have any idea about skilling a D), order-Master and mm-Olias, 2 Hench-Monks, Hench-Mesmer and Cynn.

Stick at Ronjok, beat off the attacks (just take out those clerics first, then finish off the rest of them, it was just a straight forward fighting without any tactics). Once a harbinger closes in, wait for all (or at least the most) minions to engage him, then throw thar vile. It took me 1 vile per harbinger, they died really fast. Stick a bit longer after defeating the 2nd harbinger, there will be one or two margonite groups.

Go towards the fort, clear the way to it (do NOT engage the final harbinger). Just before the fort, exit to the south, kill the margonites first (try not to engage both groups). Just ignore the harbingers until all margonites are dead, then call out one harbinger, wait for the minions to engage him, through a vile at him and make you necromancer cast Order of Vampire. Watch the poor demon die ;)

The same way for the harbinger of Nightfall - it seemed to me that the additional margonites spawn at 10% of the harbingers health, which is definitely to late to stop his death.

The only caveat is to protect Jonah, who tends to look out for trouble...

I don't even have a decent LB rank on my warrior - Rank 1, no gaze, only a minor damage reduction etc. Jorx 20:06, 5 June 2007 (CDT)


 * Jonah has a monk's AI, and thus he will be watching your minions. As you're running out of the village, he'll think, "Hmm, that there minion needs some healing," and he will follow you until he catches up so he can heal the minion.  He's not programmed to stay in one spot, so he won't run back to the village.  My advice would be after the assault is finished, let all your minions die so he won't follow - there's plenty of Margonites around to rebuild the army. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 09:46, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

Is this a dream
Or is it real? I'm still a little confused.
 * I believe melonni dreamt about it before it happened, and when they went to check it out, the area became Nightfallen.--86.7.46.87 16:49, 20 June 2007 (CDT)

Stupid Jonah
I did this with a MM and more or less plowed through this mission FAR easier than my warrior or ele did (10 fiends nearly killed a Harbinger with only one vial plus heroes + hench) however when I went to go wtfpwn the Harbinger of Nightfall, Jonah was following me spamming orison to heal my minions. I didn't notice this at first until I had cleared out all the guys around the harbinger (with him running around hitting stuff) and I had moved back to intercept the spawns that come when you lower the harbinger enough. Unfortunately the harbinger decided that Jonah was a nice target to smash on and proceeded to lay into him. Fortunately Kihm and Mhenlo were smart enough to heal him though he did nearly die when the additional margonites came but I was able to focus on the harbinger and take him out before Jonah bit kicked the bucket.

The morale of the story is that Jonah is a idiot --Blue.rellik 08:27, 21 July 2007 (CDT)


 * That can happen with any Monk NPC that is supposed to be stationary - they see something that needs a heal (your minion), their AI triggers their "MUSTHEALNOWGOGOGOGO!!!" routine, and they keep chasing the thing needing healing until they heal it. Then they just stand around doing nothing until something needs to be healed again.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 23:19, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
