Ah, well I went the other path and since they connect at the end I accidentily aggro'd the monk boss and right when he died I lost a point.
Times like these I wish Prima didn't cancel the Nightfall strategy guide...

2. I went just below the fall and didn't kill anyone from the patrol. (Buggy?)
3. I evaded the north camps and went through the easter wall. (Confirmed: this one works, if you kill a group in the camp you lose 1 of the 4 bonus points)
4. I killed the 2 runners. (Confirmed: this one works, after killing both runners you get an extra point)
Tips: In order to kill the runners, you have to use cripple and water hexes. Usually you should have one slowdowner on one runner and another slowdowner on the other target. You can use the 'lock target' feature on your heroes for an improved result. Most I've gotten is 3/4.
1. Took the left path close to the waterfall.
2. Evaded the first Corsair camps and went Eastward along the walls
3. Used the centaur water ele hero to freeze both runners and killed them.
I didn't see a particular path where you could go below the waterfall, just an upsloping ramp and you run into that Corsair patrol and a group of insects.

Hi, I'd like to know which way to go for Dunoko to say all his 4 suggestions and how to complete them, so far he only said 3 which I did. But he hasn't been saying a 4th. Maybe a bug or am I skipping something ?
Sir Mad
The 4 suggestions are:
1/ in the big flooded cave when you approach a tunnel that goes north (north east of the cave, where the monk boss is) he will ask you not to go this way
2/ when you go the other way he asks you go hide near the waterfall on the left side and let a patrol pass
3/ not to lure the corsairs in the encampment
4/ kill the 2 corsair runners
I'm also trying to get masters for this missions and I've just failed 5 or 6 times. The first suggestion is the problem. I haven't been able to rush to the runners without steping in the forbidden corridor (from another entrance), which makes the bonus fail. I'm clueless. I'm prolly missing something.
EDIT - Hmm I'm gonna try one more thing and see if it works...

I use Zhen as a water ele with deep freeze etc to slow the runners down, but still only 3 suggestions fullfilled :/

Still unable to get this bonus to work correctly, has anyone succeeded in getting 4/4 of Dunkoro's Advice?

Nope, have only gotten up to 3/4 on that bonus.
Arwen Granger
We had the same problem and if you skip cutscene then it's fine.
Amity and Truth
Dunno about his 4 suggestions, there are 5 occurences where he suggests something:
* Have Faith in his warning concerning the corsairs.
* Head east afterwards, he will tell something about footsteps.
* Head west, he'll suggest to hide under the waterfall
* Stick to the wall to the east
* Kill the two runners fast enough
Nonetheless, the party dividing bug is awful and annoying. Had to redo the mission and didn't care for the bonus anymore so i don't know about it.

Gaile Gray
You're right, there is a bug that sometimes creeps into this mission. Thanks for the report -- the team is working on a correction and it should be in place very soon.
LordDeArnise
You're welcome, Gaile.
Amity, I did all that, still get 3/4.

Ok I did some experimenting.
If I do everything correctly up to the runners I get 2 points for it. But, if I head backwards and kill the corsair patrol that goes past it does nothing. If I run up the one way that dunkoro says no footsteps so don't head this way I lose one of the points I gained. It also appears that way not only has a monk boss but a warrior boss and a ranger boss as well. If you kill any of these 3 bosses you lose one of the points you gained up to the runners.

Gun Pierson
Tried the mission about 15 times since yesterday and the max I get is 3/4.
The first suggestion is indeed at the beginning to your right. He says there are no footsteps of corsairs so they avoid it and you should do the same. I don't get the notice I've followed his advice but tested multiple times that when you kill the monk boss or an insect that pops up, you'll loose a point if you have any later on.
The second suggestion is to let the patrol pass and hide at the waterfall. Stood as close to the waterfall but it seems I don't get a point for this one.
I usually get 2 points after following the east wall suggestion.
After that it's the runner suggestion which I'm now able to complete using deep freeze and stuff.
After that part it says I have 3/4 suggestions completed.

I did this mission and intentionally failed 3/4 of the suggestions and tried to gain the waterfall suggestion specifically. I could not get anything above 0/4. I believe the waterfall suggestion is broken. Credits that people are getting are for the other 3 suggestions. There is a bug that needs fixing here unless we all collectively can't figure out how to stand by a waterfall until a patrol passes us.

I must be a total nublet then...
I spent nearly 8 hours over the weekend trying to kill those runners; no matter what snare (anything that slows foes down) I used the runners were never affected by it. I even tried the death charge in and return to cripple them and nothing. Used Zhed with 3 water hexes (no one in the group had a fire dam wep) and yet no affect. What am I missing?
Also, as noted before Dunkora makes 5 (five) suggestions not 4

the first suggestion however does not count, as he makes it before the Bonus goal appears.

I have been trying all day to get this done with absolutely no luck. 8:30PM eastern was my last attempt for the night. I did post a Bug Report on the Support site. Hopefully they will look at it soon and get it fixed.

Just trying it now, still doesn't work the waterfalls bit
.
The bonus of the mission before Pogahn Passages seems to be broken 2. I just hate doing a mission multiple times with no progression :S. I want to get protector asap.

Well it seems we all agree on the fact that the pb comes from the "waterfall advice"... Anet devs please ?
Sir Mad
After more experiments, I think I can say there is no credit missing for 1 advice, it's just you can get 4.
Let me explain: I followed all the suggestions and got 3/4.
- I know if you don't kill the runners (or if they run far enough to make the other corsairs pop) you don't get a point, so it does count.
- After having had 3 points, I went back and attacked the guys in the corsair camp you're supposed to avoid: I lost one point, so it does count.
- I went back to the waterfall and killed the patrol, I lost one point: it does count.
- (other trip) I went back and killed the monk boss: I lost one point, so it counts as well.
Conclusion: all 4 suggestions apparently count, but there is a cap at 3 advices. BUG.

Guinevere Ac
the waterfall is just fine, the first one is the bugged one as it doesnt end regardless what u' do.
try to do the mission without triggering the first suggestion. u trigger the waterfall and u get the point for the waterfall, completing the mission at 3/4.
now do the mission again this time triggering the first suggestion. everything is just fine, u hide in the waterfall, slow the 2 runners etc etc, and u end at 3/4 just as be4.
we spent few hours in there trying everything possible sneak / path etc. the first one is completed (when u fail it u receive the 0/4 message warning a second time) but u are not credited the point.
need a fix for this bonus or we'd never complete it

This is very frustrating being at 19/20 Protector of Elona, and being able to easily beat the mission. Guess I gotta wait until they fix it. I suppose I'll work on my Elonian Cartographer title.

When Anet, When are you gonna fix this. I think gayle plays nf to much to notice us
Rera
It's fixed.

No, it's still not fixed :-/

I and several people I know have the Protector of Elona title, so clearly this bonus is working.
Wolydarg
Just got masters with it, think it's fixed
AlienFromBeyond
It is most definitely fixed.

Yep, just got masters a few minutes ago. Cheers ANet for fixing it.

Seems this is not true for all.... I have read and understand the mission very well.
NO MASTERS, still am not getting 1 of the completions for the first turn around at the sand. Get an update at the falls for only 1 of 4. After allowing guard to pass = nothing until you move to the 3rd suggestion which gave 2 of 4.
Have done mission about 9 times with guildies and glad I finally read about the bugginess after spending majority of last two nights repeating this mission for masters. Glad ANET knows about it, but knowing and doing anything are quite diff things... at least there's been an attempt since a few report completion.
Character trying was tyrian born

knowing and doing anything? wth. this mission was bugged and it has been fixed few early this week.
it's fine now, there's no fix needed. it's how is meant to be. the first suggestion works perfectly. just kill the first group of mandragoras then run further till dunkoro starts talking. run back without aggroing the mandragora patrol coming back to u.
mastered this myself and helped few friends mastering it. never had a problem

The masters works perfectly i did it myslef only yesterday, simply kill the mangdragors in the 1st, dont go near the path near teh waterfall, instead go slighty more right until theres another little pathway normally with some more mangdragors patroling, dont go up here however, Dunkoro will say not to take this path, then continue on back to the waterfall path, avoid the patrol as suggested then head right as soon as the pathway opens up. You should get the 3/4 suggestions message befire u approach the runners. Then take out both runners Fast preferable using a cripple or slow down Hex on them to make it easier. Try to take out the left most one first (before he gets into the large squad of insects) then take out teh other one who if uve slowed down also shouldnt be far away. You have to take these two out very fast since they dont have far to run before they spawn the patrols. finish the mission as norm and there u are one masters in the pocket. (hope that helps)
Saphatorael
I had a weird bug when doing this with my Tyrian monk... did the waterfall thing, got 1/4... we snuck to the east to avoid the runners, got 3/4... we went a bit south to kill some bug bosses, we killed 'em and went back to 2/4?
Then we cleared the entire bug area north of the runners, then came back to kill the runners and the lot of kournans that were 'suddenly' there (even though we sneaked)... we killed both, after they ran towards some bug mobs (that we also killed)... then we triggered the cutscene, killed the last bad 'guys', and ended up with 2/4 suggestions followed, thus giving me the basic reward :s
EDIT: it was a couple of days ago... i'll go try it again now to see if it's fixed
