Talk:Gate of Desolation (mission)

I would bet that this is the mission where we get to ride the sand wurms. According to the map, this mission will most likely take place in The Sulfurous Wastes, and the manual clearly states that heroes have ridden wurms 'safe from the sulfuric clouds'. Planeforger 04:48, 25 October 2006 (CDT)
 * It is (not sure if we need this anymore since we have the description written) -- Dfscott 11:50, 10 November 2006 (CST)

Henchies
This mission is do-able with Heroes and Henchmen Neon 06:11, 3 November 2006 (CST)
 * Very much so. In fact, I removed the comment about "don't try this with heroes/henchies" -- Dfscott 11:50, 10 November 2006 (CST)

Queen Aijundu
Queen Aijundu's level 28 and she's a ranger boss. She doesn't use any Ranger skills, but she has a Ranger boss aura, and that was good enough for the Frostfire Dryder bosses. -- Gordon Ecker 18:26, 30 November 2006 (CST)

Request
I have tried this mission ten times with heroes and henchmen and have failed every time.

What strategies work best?

I play a Ranger/Monk.

Trapping isn't working. Concentrating poison and bleeding on Queen Aijundu works until she burrows away at half health and is out of range. Staying out of aggro range of the undead Queen Aijundu sends in isn't working. Chakeh The Lonely keeps rez'ing everybody so just a general grind isn't working either.

 * Try using interrupts to shut down Chakeh's rez attempts, or use Ignorance to disable his rez skill (Signet of Return) altogether. Maybe bring an N/Me hero to counter the Awakened Defilers with corpse denial and hex removal (Well of Darkness and Faintheartedness can almost completely shut down your melee people).  Well of Silence can shut down the Cavaliers and, in turn, the Blademasters, because two of their skills rely on being under the effect of a Shout/Chant.
 * Those are just general ideas that I came up with from looking at the monsters' skill listings. Someone else might have more specific advice for you as a ranger, since I've never played one myself.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] (talk|contribs) 02:43, 2 December 2006 (CST)
