Lets start compiling a list of how many foes in an area that need to be killed to clear an area for credit towards the vanquishing title. Seems to me that it would be helpful.
I just did:
Whitman's Folly: 111 foes in the area. Had to aggro wandering pets and kill them to get the area cleared.

I vanquished one area while a pet was still around - I know this because I had a ranger hero cap it after I vanquished the area. <(^_^)>

Shadow's Passage is bugged, only have to kill about half the enemies (I don't think the pop ups were included for this zone.)

254 enemies in Old Ascalon, took 3 hours cause I didn't have a good party build, but I'm happy right now.
My friend had 268 kills though, so it ranges from 250-270, we can't get an exact number for each area, but we can make an average and let people know that.

i think there are a few bugs with this syste so far.
i got 264 kills in old ascalon and got nothing. all that was left was 2 grawl groups that were on top of eachother and had 4 monks (one being a boss).

Old Ascalon was 243 for me, but I killed a few of the animals for kicks. Not sure if I left anything.

Here's a Question about Vanquisher:
Can you vanquish all the enemies in a given zone, recieve the Gold and experience award for doing so, zone, and then come back to the place you just vanquished, vanquish them all again, then receive the gold and experience award again? Or can you only reap the gold and experience reward once per zone?

shadow, there are really a lot of zones to vanquish. can't you complete say... a third of them before complaining?
I myself still have to find a build for old ascalon O.O

Or is it that you killed that group and still didn't get the point? If that is the case then it had to of been just missing a devourer group or one of the groups that you have to walk over to make them appear.

its just like with cartographer, 100% isnt actually killing every living thing, its getting really close. I got vanquisher on some maps and there were a few groups of enemys left

Shadows is bugged, i just completed it by killing 8 afflicted.

Old Ascalon with 210 kills. Fairly certain that I killed every monster that is pre-spawned on the map, but I know of several areas where I could have found pop-ups.
Arduin
Old Ascalon - 224 for me.
Makes me wonder, what if the creatures kill each other or get killed by a NPC? Will you still be able to get Vanquisher for that area?

Pop ups don't seem to count and the wandering pets aren't needed but they will add to your total if you choose to kill them.
We cleared an area, got the completion message then found some pop ups while walking through.
201 for plains of jarin and that was with the green animals added in, couldn't kill the wandering sunspears

Just did Sunqua Vale with 131 kills. I also noticed that there were already a few dead (the Yetti vs. Tengu battles in the mountains), and we still managed to get Vanquisher there.

Mirror of Lyss 168 for me - I think there will be different numbers of spawn per group though, so the totals won't be exactly the same for everyone and there will be some minor variation.

Pop ups do count, but only after they popped up. I was doing plains of Jarin and had the bar almost full (needed only one more insect which I missed earlier), but every time I got near a pop up place for mandragor my progress bar went back a little untill I killed them.

Took about 3 hours with hero/henches and got almost 2,500 ss due to all the bosses.

Pongmei Valley - 160 even.
To be honest, it didn't seem that much harder than normal Pongmei. I also noticed that Bosses seem to be about the same, and generally weaker than the rest of the mobs. This is because, I think, that all the other mobs have better skill bars (like warriors carried Triple Chop, Cyclone Axe, Watch Yourself, and Furios Axe), while the bosses have their usual boss skillbars, and ho-hum AI. The increased levels seem to do little to nothing for the defense and life of a boss, either. Maybe thats because they are naturally buffed because of their aura or something, and receive no benefit to the hard mode enhancements.
The only trouble we came across were the concentrated groups of Jade Brotherhood, and the handful of Afflicted (with their increased damage explosions).

I got 158 in Pongmei Valley.
Maybe some variations are due to pop ups, if the pop ups only count when they appear on map. People may find more or less than others, like the Crowns in Old Ascalon.
[EDIT: 34, Saoshang Trail.]

I wonder about Wajjun Bazaar. What if you have the quest active where half that map is friendly, does that decrease the amount you have to kill as well?

I was wondering the same thing, whether quests have the same effect on hard mode maps as they do on normal ones.

This is probably my favorite part of the update. I always did enjoy going into a region by myself and killing every last thing out there (good stress reliever!), now I can actually get a title credit for it! 
I haven't played much yet. I didn't get the update until 11pm last night and I had to get up and go to work this morning at 6am. I fooled around with it for a bit.
I only have hard mode open for Factions so far. I tried Minister Cho's Estate.
Got killed by his zoo. Next I bought a lockpick and explored the Boreas Seabed area and Pongmei Valley area. I agree with an earlier poster, the Valley didn't seem that much harder. I used my lockpick on a chest there and got a Jade Staff with some nice stats.
I'll work on the Vanquisher title some tonight and also try to unlock hard mode for Prophecies. I've made it to Abbadon's Mouth with M/B completed on all missions up to there, so I know I'm close to unlocking it.

Traveler's Vale: 167

Sunqua Vale: 133.
I should also add that pop-ups did count towards this total. I don't know if you'd be able to complete an area without activating all the pops.

I swear the when hupe popup popped, progress got set back a bit by two or three pixels. It seems that popups dont count till popped.

I can't figure out whats included or not.
Witman's Folly. I had 108 kills and gained it, killed every single foe i saw including popups and a few Bears.
Pongmei Valley. I had 158 kills i think and gained it, yet i still hadn't attacked Meysangs mob yet that were still hidden away. However i had killed a few Bears and decided to kill the Luxons at the res shrine too
Seriously, this title is only available to Warriors, Eles, Necros and Monks. How the f*ck is any profession not in the 'Holy Trinity' suppose to get a group CAPABLE of clearing Tasca's Demise, Sunjuing District or Ice Dome?
