Thirsty River Bonus?????

Ive read a couple of walkthroughs that say the King's Spirit hangs around for 10-12 Minutes, but ive done the mish 3 times, and he's gone in less than a minute after the gate is open!!!
Last run i did, i beat first group in 1:33, Second group in 3:46 and was about 1 min into 3rd group and poof!, he's gone ... message comes up that bonus failed!!!
Have they changed the Bonus? Is there a better strategy for this Bonus?
Thanks ia for any insight

They changed it around

You have to save him actually, he is a person who can take damage and the warrior bosses lil group of baddies will agro at him and kill him quickly. Run down there to him, heal him and kill the groups then proceed up to kil the priest and boss.

bonus done easy

Thanks ... makes sense now.
Ive been trying with henches and hero's ... ill have to flag my hero monk next to him to keep him alive.
Ugh ... thanks again

NP

In normal mode you will find its very very easy to do, just sucks that you have to go back and do it again though

Anyways, your welcome and good luck!!

This Bonus Was the worst when going for my protector title

what i did... is get a life barrier bonder who stayed back and proted up the ghostly hero then we killed the first couple of groups of forgotten eles.
then with an sh and mm hero.. we ploud through the bosses..
i'd reccomend the warrior henches.

If you simply aggro the groups from right to left, starting with the right (the guys OUTSIDE of the priests hut), and never pull any foes to the king in the center, you will have it. You dont ever have to heal him.
