Overview

Vanquisher is a title that you can display for prestige. It is related to Hard mode.

Vanquisher title track

Vanquisher name trim — Vanquisher trim around explorable area names

This title is granted to a character for defeating all of the foes in each explorable area of a campaign while in Hard Mode. A character's progression can be tracked on the World Map: areas that have been vanquished will have a gold design around the name, while unvanquished areas will be red. Note that if your entire party reaches -60% death penalty and all of your party members are dead, you are returned to the last visited outpost and must restart the area.

Title	Campaign	Explorable Areas Vanquished	Grand Total of Monsters (min-max)	Average Number of Monsters
Tyrian Vanquisher¹	Prophecies	54	8,746 - 11,125	184
Canthan Vanquisher¹	Factions	33	4,806 - 6,614	173
Elonian Vanquisher¹	Nightfall	34	7,676 - 9,143	247
Master of the North²	Eye of the North	15	4,472 - 4,940	314

¹ These titles are all individual and independent title tracks, with only one level each. Each of them currently counts towards the Kind Of A Big Deal and Legendary Vanquisher title tracks.

² There is no Vanquisher title for EotN; instead, vanquishing EotN areas counts toward the Master of the North title track.

Foes vanquished counter

Area completely vanquished

A red counter in the effects monitor area of the interface will display how many foes the party has vanquished in the current area. Upon successfully vanquishing an area, the counter will turn to gold, the "mission completed" fanfare will play, and the players will receive a reward of gold and experience. The gold and experience received will be equal to five times the number of creatures defeated.

Killing tamable pets will add to the counter for the current area, increasing the gold and XP reward, but they are not required to complete an area.
Foes killing each other will also count towards the kill total for the area - the party does not have to kill everything first-hand.
Vanquishing of a zone can be repeated as many times as one wishes. It will remain marked in gold on the map, but the counter will be reset each time you enter the zone. You will still gain gold and experience for re-vanquishing each area based on the number of monsters you kill.
Monsters that pop up, such as Plague Devourers (Prophecies), Oni (Factions), and Mandragors (Nightfall) only count if you make them pop up before you vanquish all other foes. However, it is still possible for them to pop up after the area is vanquished.

Known Bug Issues

Defeating the last enemy of an area has caused some players' games to freeze and close. However, the credit for completing that area IS logged in the Vanquisher title track.

There are occasions in Factions in which most groups of Jade Brotherhood are not counted towards the total vanquished until they are within radar range. This can be advantageous to the player, but it is not known whether some certain areas with Jade Brotherhood are more easily vanquishable than others as you must pass by them in order to clear the area of other foes.

Monsters that can disappear and reappear (Wurms in particular) DO count towards the total once they are aggroed. However, a Wurm that disappears after being initially aggroed will make the area impossible to vanquish until the Wurm reappears and is killed. If an aggroed Wurm is underground and the party has vanquished all other foes in the area, the red counter will turn gold and tell you that you have vanquished all foes in the area. However, you will not actually receive the gold and XP reward until the Wurm is killed (nor will the area be counted towards the title track).

Number of Foes in Each Area

The actual number of foes in each area is somewhat variable, due to the randomness in the number of creatures that may spawn in a given group. The numbers below reflect the range of foes seen in actual gameplay experience by GuildWiki users.

Since pop-up groups only count if you activate them, areas known to contain a large number of avoidable pop-ups are marked in the tables below.

Many quests can significantly affect the number of enemies that appear in an area. These quests are noted with a ▲ if they increase the number of enemies and a ▼ if they decrease the number of enemies.

For more detailed notes and strategies pertaining to specific areas, please refer to that area's article.
