I am really having extreme hard time on this quest with heros/henchs. The guy is very powerfull and after a death dp make you a dead without getting near him. If someone runs the mission I wil pay good or if no one can I would really like tips
TY

ITS on NM. I dont want to imagine the HM after this boss

Try to flag your heros/henchies around the worm so that he can't get them all with one AoE type attack. Then run back & forth getting powder kegs to drop near him until his armor goes down.

Good advice from Quaker.

HotS is one of the handful of quests in GW that's extremely difficult with H/H groups simply by the nature of the mission (the need to pick up kegs.) You may just want to try for a real group.

Lol are there real groups for quests? Thas a joke man. I can pay anyone for that quest me with vampiric and can help kegging. I dont think I can finish tih squest on my own. Its just easier to get someone do this. I would spare less money then I would spare on getting heroes set.

Touchers.

No. Really.

I H/H this myself as whatever. Margrid, Jin and Pyre running typical Pvxwiki build toucher. You don't need the barrels, just lock them on in offensive mode and you can almost hear them scream "LOLOLOLOLOL" as they touch that stupid cyndr to death

Mhenlo, Lina and Herta (mmmm wards) for henches and whatever you want for the final slot.

Obviously this only works if you have NF heroes as well. If not, find a friend/guildie willing to supply you with some touchers.

Finding people to help with quests ?
Isnt that what guilds are about ?

I can always rely on my guildies to help with a quest and they can rely on me, what other point is there for a guild and alliances if not for help in the game.

It can be done with Hero/henchies and the advice already given is sound.

Try Sab's triple necro build, I've use this successfully with 7 chars, even repeated dungeon to try Mangus. Works great, I take myself (char doesn't matter), Herta, both monks and either warrior. Though if you are a tank of some sort, you can trade out the warrior for either the ele or mes. Remember to hit 3 times with the black powder barrels to shatter protective then wail away!!!

Follow the instructions here, and he should fall easily, use your speed to grab the barrels and sit back and watch the hero/hench team take Cyndr apart.

I tried 3 times with 3 toucher no luck. I they manage to survive while fight they wil stop fight and try to res sig me and henchs. If you say its so easy PLEASE HELP ME. And damn anet for such hard mission wich isnt optional. They remove farm cause it is bad for causal payers(I was farmer and I cant think anywway causal players were hurt) I dont know how causla playa would be able to succeed this

You will need to flag your H/H around Cyndr like so:

Code:
1                    2

       Cyndr

       Hench


        3
Use two barrels on him so another one will trigger him to get stunned/vulnerable. Anyway keep dying until there is a pause in between deaths, then grab a keg, explode it on him and go nuts. I had all my damage as heroes so they didn't die that much, although flagging the monks seperate will probably help. Took me a while until I got that one time when only my fodder warrior henchman died, exploded keg, went nuts, used Finish Him! and won.

I must be the only one who had a great pug to do this with....and a wonderful warrior who lead our group.
Will have to try out the toucher and necro ones for my next 10 characters----

I also had problems a week ago with this powerful boss. And after I read a thread about this on GWG (gwiki has less information it seems), I brought 2 necros with life stealing abilities and it was very easy (you don't have to destroy his protection).

Good luck!

THe last character i did this with was my assassin, and I found a PUG pretty fast and we breezed through it. I didnt configure my assassin to tank, but to run kegs. I brought that ebon skill that teleports and dash and shadow refuge, and my usual attack skills.

Run in with the keg with dash, drop the keg, then teleport to your monk or to the dwarf, get another keg, dash in again etc. When he gets stunned, wail away. When he wakes up teleport to monk again. Also use shadow refuge before u run in to counter the burning. Again PUGs for this mission are pretty easy to find if u hang out at the Eye for more than 5 mins.

I agree, PuG is the way to go.
I see people in EoTN looking for a group for this quest all the time.

After the next mission you are on the final boss. The final mission is even more fun to H/H, hahaha. Its doable with H/H, but you have got to try to get into a group of people. HoS is also siginificantly easier with PUGs than H/H. Use the "P" function to find PUGs in the Eye to find a group.
