====================================================
Jokanur Diggings Hard Mode (Masters)
=====================================================
Note: This is easier (as in less painfully difficult) with a Dervish
==========
Key issues
==========
- Party size is four making this a very difficult HM Mission.
- Kormir must survive, but she has a death wish and will attack anything
including the Ghostly Sunspears. She will also follow you when you go to pull
and ignore your flags or stand in the fire :(
- You cannot kill any Ghostly Sunspear (This includes the friendly one that
carries the last Stone Tablet - Kahdash. He is friendly to you but you have to protect
him so that the he doesn't get killed. If he gets killed, he will resurrect by himself but
you won't get Masters.)
- Also note that the Undead you have killed will respawn after a couple of minutes so don't stop for too long.
======
Heroes
======
- Melonni (Required) - Damage Dealer -Reaper Sweep (after you are in the temple you are dealing with undead so the Holy Damage helps)
- Dunkoro - Light of Deliverance Heal
- Masters of Whispers - MM (Both advantage and disadvantage)
There may be other ways but the MM seems to work best. However, the minions
WILL attack the Ghostly Sunspear if they see them (and they will see them).
So during the mission when you are about to cross path with the Ghostly Sunspear you have to:
- Disable all the skills used by the MM to animate/heal minions.
- Trigger the MM's "Taste of Death" to kill all the minions one by one or just let them die.
(Remember to re-enable the skills after you move far away from the Ghostly Sunspear)
1ST GHOSTLY SUNSPEAR
==================
- Exit Jokanur diggings. If you have an MM you might want to head for the group of two enemies on the left to get a couple of minions before heading right up to the North
- Make your way to the Temple, kill as many undead as you have to before finall getting Bardek the Quick and the first Stone Tablet.
The following descriptions reference the first picture.
- Set Flag in front of door
- Pull single Undead and Kill him (If you don't pull, your party will kill Ghostly Undead
that is next to him)
- Pull Undead group to the left, they will follow all the way to your flag, kill them.
- Disble MM's animate skills
- Kill Minions With "Taste of Death"
- AS you run by the ghostly sunspear pick up stone tablet and make your way to the pedestal, don't place it on the pedestal,
just drop it next to it.
===================
2ND GHOSTLY SUNSPEAR
===================
- After dropping the tablet, make your way up the stairs opposite the ones you came in and kill any undead on the way.
- Make your way slowly up the left side of the temple toward the 2nd Ghostly Sunspear. Use flag to pull mobs away from the Ghostly Sunspear and kill them.
- Flag your group about halfway up that side just before the first flame thrower.
- Throw on Enchantments or any protection you have, run thru the hallway of Trial by Fire,
grab the secong stond tablet and run back to the stairs. On your way back unflag your group so that they will follow you. Once you are safely into the middle area, drop the stone table and fight any undead that have followed slow Kormir all the way here.
=============================================
(POTENTIAL 3RD SUNSPEAR GHOST) VERY IMPORTANT
=============================================
Before placing the tablets on the pedestal either
- Kill all the minions again or
- Place them on the pedestals very fast and run inside away from the door
really, really, quick
A third Sunspear Ghost will spawn and you don't want your minions there when he does.
============================
4TH Sunspear Ghost - Kahdash
============================
- You can't hurt him. But the undead along the way can kill him.
- You have to keep him alive, so run ahead and clear the road, this part is easy. He is very slow.
- Let MM build a nice army of minions
- After last door opens kill the groups one by one, stay on the left path. See 2nd Picture.
- Pull the groups one by one and kill them.
- Finally only the Apocrypha is left. So down him and go celebrate your victory.
