Finding good method to slay Cyndr the Mountain Heart with only heroes/henchman

warrior-me
H/H's-2 monks,1 paragon and some random henchies.

Flag in the middle, ran some bombs and 10 seconds later he was dead.

Quote:

Owned Cyndr on my first try with my sin, but on my second try with my Dervish, my party wiped 3 times because menlho was on crack spaming vigorous spirit instead of LoD.

Finally used my dream team : Morghan + Hayda to great success.

morgan : [skill]"fall back!"[/skill][skill]"stand your ground!"[/skill][skill]"go for the eyes!"[/skill]+damage skills

Hayda : [skill]"Fall Back!"[/skill][skill]"go for the eyes!"[/skill]+damage skills


[skill]"Fall Back!"[/skill] is blocked to be manually used.
Flag your heroes in the middle. Use stand your ground to help drunken mhenlo.
Use [skill]"Fall Back!"[/skill] and run kegs to cyndr.
After the third keg, spike the big bad wurm.

Finally,

Hard to Fail this way.

Rit/Derv: Weapon of Remedy, Vengeful Weapon, Mystic Regeneration, Fleeting Stability - Add whatever you want after this.

Monk: Mending/Protective Bond - Add whatever you wish after this.

Necro: I didn't need this Hero - but to make sure you don't fail. Blood Ritual - add whatever you want after this.

Party: Doesn't really matter - just make sure you get to Cyrn with or without 60 dp.

Just make your way down to Cyrn: Have everyone stand near the Lifestone no one except Ritualist needs to leave this point. Cast Mending and Protective Bond on your Ritualist.

Have the Ritualist cast Fleeting Stability and Mystic Regeneration on himself and proceed straight to Cyrn. Once there you will be spamming Weapon of Remedy and Vengeful Weapon. One at a time and as Cyrn strikes you. There is a pattern where he hits you twice really quick. Great time to spam your two skills. Don't use the Barrels at all FYI.

The Necro is just in case you need extra energy for Monk - I found I didn't need him but it's a safety net.

Ritualist was at 60 dp and had no problem.

If you want a close up view of the action - Die then click on the Hero and give him commands.

Enjoy..

I just went and kill it with heroes and henchies, and I didn’t die any time.

As ranger I didn’t got to make any physical damage, but I used poison and interruption. The other henchies where the interrupter, 2 elementalist and a monk. My heroes where a monk, warrior (probably useless too), and a necro.

...and no green

Rit with [skill]Ritual Lord[/skill][skill]Boon of Creation[/skill][skill]Shelter[/skill][skill]Union[/skill]
LoD/Prot Monk hero + Mhenlo

Flag the Rit in the entrance, out of Cyndr's range. Load spirits

Laugh as he tries to kill you.

Drop 3 kegs and own him. I used 2 Conjure Dragon Slashers on Koss and Goren and myself with an ED Dagger build.

I got it on my first go with hench and heroes, one of which was a MM, cos I didn't know I'd have to fight Cyndr at the end of the mission. Got down to 60DP, then checked wiki and found out that I had to drop the kegs next to her (Before that I was like 'WTF, not doing any damage'

One powerstone of courage and Armor of salvation later and I did it quite easily.

I put vampiric gaze on my 3 heroes flagged them into the hallway by the entrance and manually made them use it. It took a little while but he died with his carapace still solid red.

lol! I just brought my wammo, 2 searing flames hero and 1 paragon hero and pwned his ass.

I run a signet smiting build in PvE, with Mantra of inscriptions, SoJ, Bane Sig and Castigation Sig. It's a pretty ridiculous bar, but I've not had any problems in GWEN yet. Alongside this I run 2 SH eles, and a Glyph + HP Dunkoro with Healer's Boon, and we beat Cyndr on the second try.

Flag the henches off in one direction, and then spread out heroes I II and III in a triangle (with the healer in the back, obviously) some distance away but still within caster range. I'd reccommend running a healer hero with both monk henches + Interrupt and Illusion henchmen. Cyndr could only kill me when I came in close to drop the kegs (flame burst > face) but it only happened once. With the kind of damage you get from 2 SH eles you should only need to take down the carapace twice.

Me as ranger, one Deep Freeze+SH ele, BHA jin, ele henchies, zho, healer hench.

I almost took Cyndr in one shot but i was laggy and when he/she was at around 3% health it regained the carapace.

Heroes in a triangle fashion and henchies in the middle of triangle. Run the kegs not minding anything else. Call target when you get the last keg. Dead Cyndr the Mountain Heart.

It was my 2nd attempt btw.

2 real players... either toucher or nekro/mo

protective spirit + touch skills = dead cyndr

Hmm.. first attempt with general H/H failed, but I usually make a point of doing these 'blind' so had no idea what I was going to get.

Second attempt, tried it with the triple necro hero set up, all went well till the end and Cyndr kicked our collective asses.

Soo... today I decided to get Morghan out of mothballs, gave him a nice strong bar with Song of Restoration, decided to let Koss back on the team with a triple chop build and kept MoW as the Necro - Restoration rit.

Added Zho for interrupts, Lina and Mhenlo + Herta for wards.

Flagged them half way between Budger and Cyndr's starting point, but against the wall (within healing / aggro range.

Dropped her like a stone after her carapace came down. Didn't get one death through the whole dungeon.

Oh me - running Lightening hammer / dual attunes.

I took a Dual Attunement fire nuker

2 Touch necro's

Eart,Fire,Heal,Prot/Heal Henchmen.

I played a Reapers Sweep dervish,just get to cyndrr,do you keg rounds,and set cyndrr as you touch rangers target and watch him go down.

hero/henching i admitted to myself that it was going to be far to much of a pain in the butt to get them to space properly so i chose to embrace the hits instead while running back and forth with the explosives.

1) Drain Life Necro Heroes to stop regen between armor breaks. One will do more means actually doing decent damage while the armor is on.

2) Because i don't trust Herta to be smart with the Elemental Ward i chose to carry it also with 12 ranks in Earth Magic for my secondary.

3) Plenty of healing as your team IS getting beat on pretty hard.

I did fine using when i went in just after the Degen nerf with only 1 life drain Necro. I had the Following team.

Myself: W/E Sword/Earth with Elemental Ward.

Gwen: Me/N heavy degen, so yeah, she did jack against until armor breaks but the HP dropped FAST when it was off)

Livia: N/Me Light Life Drain with solid Mesmer Degen, again I didn't know about degen nerf, but she had enough Life drain to do some damage outside the armor breaks.

Ogden: Monk, Healing heavy with a little status purge.

Menlo & Lina: both Hench monks, i wanted the mitigation.

Herta: Earth Mage, a little damage and the additional Elemental Ward although i didn't trust her to use it properly with any consistency.

Eve: Had a degen on her bar and does ok damage, i wouldn't take her knowing the lack of Degen now. But she was sufficient to get to Cyndr.

The strategy: Flag the entire team to one spot a little off to the side of your running path but not to far out of the way. Having them off to the side allows you to normally avoid getting hit when you have the keg, but also puts them nearby so you can drop an Elemental Ward on them when it's up during your return trips for another keg. Between yourself and Herta you should be able to keep the Elemental Ward up enough to prevent your Hero/Hench team from getting wiped. Make sure when you're flagging a new location when he pops up again you keep them away from the flame fountains as that can ruin your day really quick. Heal Party or other full team heals are a good idea to have on Ogden/Hero Monk as you're entire team will be getting hit on a consistent basis, however the Elemental ward takes a good bit of the edge off Cyndr's attacks so it makes things doable.

How to improve the team:
Knowing the lack of Degen now I'd replace Gwen with another Necro Hero if you have Nightfall or failing that give Gwen or Vexx secondary Necro and load up on the life drains. Also Fix Livia's bar to be more Lifedraining. Eve you can replace with another damage hench if you want it shouldn't really matter as long as it's ranged damage.
