Talk:Finding the Bloodstone

Light of Deldrimor
There appear to be no Light of Deldrimor rewards for this dungeon. I didnt' stray far from the way I was supposed to go, but saw no pings even when I did --Falseprophet 21:06, 20 September 2007 (CDT)
 * LoD only works in dungeons, this is a mission. --Macros 21:13, 20 September 2007 (CDT)

Gadd
his compass directions should be included in the tutorials. so many n00bs, so little time to teach them how to read 4 letters in a circle.

0 Damage?
After performing several attacks with my Dervish on monsters in this mission I start doing 0 damage repeatedly, and I cannot figure out why. I'm using the NF preorder Scythe (Icy Soulbreaker of Enchanting). I'm not using any enchantments that change my damage type. It's kind of random.
 * Gadd uses Iron Mist, which makes the hexed target invulnerable to all damage except lightning. Which makes him a huge annoyance, since pretty much all damage gets negated just so Gadd can hit it with his lightning damage spells. Luckily, he can only use it once every 30 seconds, and I had degeneration on my team, but he forces the team to take longer to kill things. It's no wonder everybody dislikes him. --Kale Ironfist 22:45, 23 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Wow. I never even paused to consider that an NPC would have that skill.  Thanks.
 * I find him using this skill WAY too much. Really got irritating, as nothing in my party dealed lightning dmg except for Gadd's useless self.  Found myself checking my whole inventory for any weapon dealing lighting damage lol. Isk8 19:13, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ya, Gadd's a royal pain in G.O.L.E.M. mission, too, for the same reason.

not added to Journal
I had the Handbook on me completed the quest and found it had not been added for page 12 very odd anyone else had this happen
 * Page 12 updated for me after comleting the quest. Isk8 19:11, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Skelk Corrupters
If you bring an MM into this dungeon, be sure to watch out for Skelk Corrupters as they have Verata's Gaze. If they are around, pin MM back until you take out corrupter. If you have no minions, take the corrupters out first (making sure no minions are raised until all corrupters are dispatched).

Hard Mode
This mission is not very difficult at all in hard mode, and easily done with heroes and henchies if you bring some armor wards. However, getting to mission is tricky because of the nasty dinosaurs, but if you are careful, a bit lucky, and patient, you can avoid them on your way to the dungeon. Watch the patrols and zig zag your way. It does not work to try to go around at the southern end because the Angorodons and Ceratadons stay to close to the edge. I even pinned my party at a safe place and made the run my self (with out a running spell).

At the final boss, pin your party way back, run in to aggro boss and activate the Enchanted Scythes and run away! run away! Then go back and take out the scythes first, then concentrate on Boss only (ignore the Enchanted Shields)--he goes down fairly easily. See note above about the Skelks and Minion Masters.
