Well, I recently got my W/Mo into the running business (...and to think I spent this whole time troll farming!). Earlier to work for my 70% exploration title, I explored all of Riverside, no problem. So I figured it shouldn't be much harder to run the mission itself and make quick cash, right? I was right.

It all went real smooth. Most White Mantle could be easily avoided, those who I did aggro were hitting 2s and gave up chasing me as I alternated between "Charge!" and Sprint.

At the end though, there was a problem. The boss blocking the bridge was a mesmer, and whenever I tried to pull him away, he wouldn't budge. Now, also, I had most of my attribute points into tactics and strength, so I couldn't kill him. I was about to give up until my party members miraculously caught up with me and pulled him off.

When I tried to pull the mesmer, I got him about a fifth of the aggro circle away from the bridge, but he immediately went back to his original position. I also heard hugging the left side of the bridge allows you to rubberband through the boss.

So, does anyone have any tips for pulling the last boss? I hear the warrior boss can be pulled more easily (and it makes much sense considering he is melee and will go farther to follow you than a caster would), but the boss spawn at the end is random.

Don't try to pull him. Run right up to him, move to your left and side walk down beside the edge of the bridge, this should trigger the cut scene.
