Is it possible to complete this mission with just heroes and myself? O_O It seems near impossible to survive the Charr attack that's right at the beginning. Anyone have any helpful tips?

Umm, you're not pulling the lever are you?? HANDS OFF THE LEVER!!! Just go around the long way and it's definitely do-able with heroes. The hardest part is Rurik's Leeroy Jenkins tendencies at the end.

You're opening the gate? You do realize that there is a back path right?

And dont forget to Abandon him once he goes south of the Wall, take the other path and it will save you alot of time and hassle.

Ye this mission is a real pain, just before the gate there is a Boss, when i killed that boss the gate opened automaticly..the other Left and Right group ran through the gate killing Rurik.. mission failed. so i think you first have to kill those and then the boss by luring em.. Bonus of this mission isnt too hard. Make sure you dont lure to much and you will be fine.

The last part is just impossible... there are 5-6 or so Charr patrols of 4-5 things each and a boss wandering around there. You have a minute or two to pull and kill them all, after which Rurik just runs straight in and aggros everthing.

If you manage to get some of the Lost Soldiers with you (I somehow had 4 or 5 of them following me) they just DROP the charr in seconds. literally, my party did nearly nothing as those rangers just spiked everything one by one

Just wondering... I've heard of the "Nolani Farm" - which I assume is the group right when you open the gate via lever... but I seem to get leveled pretty quickly using my 130 Dervish... does this "run around" method work? and if so, how do I do it?

I only ask because I'm looking for some new places to farm. Thanks

Its fairly easy to do with hench / hero. I went bond monk to help rurik when he went on his psycho spree taht agroed everything. Other then that, its very simple including the bonus.

Just go back way Which you have learned since you originally posted haha.

As for the farm...I would imagine you could do it...Interesting, Ill have to try it out.

I used to farm Charr Carvings there... in normal mode, of course ^_^ Just open the gate and kill everything that runs at you. Never tried it in HM, though.

The trick is to run right after cutscene on the wall, the opposite or Rurik. Then just kill a couple charr and the boss and you're done.

i just did this mission last night in hardmode, i used Sab's hero build for 3 necro/rit heroes, 1 heroe is basically a SS necro, with death pact signet(rit skill), 1 necro/rit is a Jagged bones necro, with death pact signet, and the other necro/rit is a full restoration rit, using weapon of Remedy as an elite skill, with death pact signet, i played my ranger using a standard broadhead arrow build, it worked like a charm just follow the posts above for how to handle the areras, with a little, flagging a nd pulling its a piece of cake in hardmode, even the bosses went down fast with apply poison and Broadhead arrow.

I just completed this mission in HM last night as well using the 3 N/Rt heroes. After witnessing Rurik's deathwish in action, I decided to try the shortcut, and it worked like a charm. Right after the first cutscene at the wall, run down the opposite stairs that Rurik goes. The path south is completely bare until one or two groups right before Bonfaaz. If you've completed the bonus already, you can get the mission in like 10 minutes.
