Talk:Duncan the Black (Dungeon)

Lightbringer
Lightbringer is effective in this dungeon. I think it should be mentioned here. I never tried the other parts of the dungeon so I don't know about them. MageMontu 05:56, 17 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Lightbringer, specifically Lightbringer's Gaze, is only effective on about 70% of the monsters in Slaver's Exile. Most notably it doesn't work on the undead or the bosses.  Keep in mind if the skill doesn't work its a safe bet the title bonuses will not be applied either.  Its of great benefit against the Summit and a cheap interrupt, too bad the 100 damage is checked against armor.
 * Lightbringer's Gaze no longer works in Normal mode either, though on the page it could seem like it is only in HM.

Entry
once last hierophant is completed can u just go into duncans dungeon anytime or do u hav to do the quest again?

You used to be able to only need 1 person in your party to have only duncan left, but anet nurfed this so that everyone needs to have defeated all 4 bosses to get duncan. To me its still worth it, I got an elemantal sword and gloom shield. It takes awhile but if u get any good drops u can earn a lot more money than just farming FoW or UW non-stop

what a pile of crap. got there with absolutely no problem. the only pain r all the restless dead that kept popping up. then got to duncan and found he is totally surrounded by spirits. knew he had spirits around him but jeez... four different groups. one at bottom of stairs -- tried the trick of just sitting under the stairs but the spirits kept pounding away so could not just sit under the stairs. one group on the little mound to the left of the stairs (not sure why that group is there.) two others on either side of duncan. so, if move to one side to work on the spirits and duncan, the spirits on the other side work to negate any damage done to him. figured this out when got set and worked on him for about 10 minutes with posion/burning while my h/h took on the spirits -- never got his health below the little 'down' arrow on his bar. and, any time i moved into aggro range, my h/h would follow and duncan would immediately drop 2-3 of them with his spirit rift.

Hardmode
I think it should be noted that you DO NOT get 2 Deldrimor Armor Remnants when completing this dungeon on hardmode, just the standard one. (forgot to sign this)FateReturns 22:23, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Did anyone has done it in solo? I have done 4 times in normal mode in solo but can't pass the first patrol in HM (Done it 3 times with an Elem one with a Warrior). Please post (team, build) if you have done it.Kemydes 17:39, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

November 8th update
"Moved a patrol of Stone Summit Dwarves who often traveled too close to the entrance in Duncan the Black's level of Slaver's Exile."

I haven't been there yet, but can anyone confirm if this significantly makes the first bit easier? -Meridan 16:21, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay, went there yesterday, the patrolling group now patrols i nthe other direction, making it impossible to get tangled up in both groups, the other one still wanders close though meaning they probably will eventually aggro you -Meridan 13:03, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Hard Mode
I've finished the whole quest before in NM, and I repeated all the dungeons on NM again, except this one. I decided to finish EoTN and get HM. Question is, will I be able to go straight into HM Duncan the Black dungeon, without repeating the other dungeons in HM? Ipo 14:44, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ud need 2 play thru the other dungs again, but u can do tht in nm, only dunc has 2 b in hm 82.103.128.115 14:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * so I could just go straight to Duncan HM? i've already done the other 4 in NM. Ipo 14:56, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Seems like it RT | Talk  14:59, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice, one last question. I wouldn't get the page in the HM Dungeon guide, would I? Ipo 15:02, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Unsure, I think you would depends if the trigger is final dungeon end, or all dungeons, I'd try it RT | Talk  15:03, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * kk, i'll try it some time today and post what happens Ipo 15:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * . Works just fine. I just soloed Duncan in HM after doing the others in normal mode. Got full credit in my HM Dungeon guide.  Thank God that's over with.... Utter Havoc 23:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
