Aurora Glade
Eternal Grove
Dzagonur Bastion
Definitely the unholy trinity.
Hardest Hard Mode Mission??
Lagg
Drake The Cutter
Eternal Grove and Dzagonur are easily done with multiple people.
Aurora Glade on the other hand I did alone....please don't remind me.

Jennurs horde should be on the list too
oh no, I would say aurora glade bonus is harder then dunes of despair still.

I completed hard mode missions in Kryta and Cantha. I did em all with H/H except for The eternal grove mission in Cantha, i had another human player helping me. I just finished Slaver's exile in normal mode with H/H so im gonna try my luck at the elonian missions in hard mode.
freaky naughty
Prophecies: Dunes of Despair with the bonus
Factions: Raisu Palace, it's so much shiroken and with h/h they use their special skills at the most inopportune times
Nightfall: Gate of Madness, everyone already knows why this mission is hard.
Eye of the North: Shards of Orr on hard mode is something I've found truly impossible, Shards on normal mode is really hard for me. If anyone has beaten Shards of Orr on hard mode they're godly.

Prophecies: Aurora Glade
Factions: Eternal Grove
but for Elona was my hardest surprisingly: Modok Crevice, i did this mission 20x, and failed at bonus, dunkoro 4th advice, stop two runners who run in different paths and they are very fast , but with luck i did that and now i am happy, because everything else was easy in hm, even dzagonur, did that on first try.

Eternal grove is not only the hardest mission in factions HM, but also the hardest HM mission in the game(imo). You need a coordinated and fairly smart team, which is sometimes hard to fine. A full group of humans is not needed(did it with 4 peeps 4 heroes), but it is incredibly helpful.
The Meth
The hardest mission is always Abaddon's Mouth for me, NM or HM. More specifically finishing the bonus while keeping my sanity.
Seriously though, I've done em all so much by now both h/h and with guild/friend teams. Allmost all of the missions have very specific tricks or strategies that I have come up with over time to finish them, they others are beaten by good old balanced builds with the correct counters.

Eternal Grove: Splinter Weapon, stay behind the damn gates, just kill one turtle on the north and south before the cutscene, use the juggernauts, a minion master that uses fiends. Or, Enfeebling Blood. Honestly I think the biggest issue people have with Eternal Grove is going outside of the gates when the Afflicted show up. Danika, Mhenlo, luxon NPCs, juggernauts... you have them for a reason people.

I h/h 90% of the hm missiosn so the only ones i found hard were the ones i needed ppl to help with b/c i coudlnt solo it
tyria: dunes of despair: how great, this mission provided plenty of despair b/c of the monk boss not dying fast enuff during bonus. ended up having to use the necrotic trick, which meant 2 hours of doing mission till right mob appeared, then teleporting across, self degening to death, and finally going 4 man on a monk boss wooo how fun.
aurora glade is really easy if u do the sucide trick. u get to bonus and u cap one pedestial, then sneak to the right and bum rush dorian. kill him for bonus and redo mission without bonus. easy as sandwiches.
factions: eternal grove wasnt hard per se, only that i needed another person
raisu palace this place was hard ONLY b/c of the part immediately after the tahkora cutscene. goodness gracious sooo much pressure from debiltating shot, wells, and poision
nf: dragonzaur bastion was the only one i failed at and needed ppl lol.

I guess by Talkhora you mean Danika and by Dorian you mean the Demagogue?

I got my legendary guardian with h/h for every mission.
Aurora Glade: Same strategy as NM, cap the nearest pedestal. Flag the h/h to the middle pedestal and intercept their mobs while you run the crystal and recap after their runner capped.
Dunes of Despair: Managed to kill the 3 bosses with 1+min left, just in time to go back to heal the ghostly hero. But you can do them separately so it is not a big deal.
Eternal Grove: Make use of the juggernauts, they can hold the easier gate with a mm hero while you clear the other gate.
No mission of note in elona, Dzagonur Bastion was fairly easy probably because you need only 5 defences to be intact for masters.

+1 for dzagnour... it doesn't help that i can *never* find a group for this mission ><
crazybanshee
I hero/henchied most of the missions in hm, without consumables (I'm cheap, or poor lol) but the ones I absolutely HAD to find a group to do, and often failed anyway, were
Tyria: Sanctum Cay (the one where you have to protect the guy at the end from hordes of enemies) because I'm not a monk and had so much trouble getting a group that understood how to either stay and defend him, or stand back and pick off the mobs from far away. Aurora glade is not hard, the mission itself is easy to do, the secret is that you should bring a necro with a corpse traversal skill and instead of opening that last gate (that spawns all those white mantle) keep doing the mission until there's a tameable pet that occasionally spawns close enough to use to traverse the gate, then everyone die and get rebirthed on the other side, the white mantle never spawn, and the guy you need to kill for the bonus is standing there all by his weak self.
Cantha: Eternal Grove, which is hard because you rely on someone else to hold the other side, so no matter how good you are you can't be in 2 places at one time
Elona: Dzagonur Bastion, for the same reason.

HM Eternal Grove really hard with H/H, but still possible.
Esan
Aurora Glade can be done easily if you have a bit of luck and find a warthog on the other side of the last gate. You can then teleport you and your heroes over without opening the gate and spawning the white mantle. You and three heroes are more than a match for the Demagogue, and you can then cap the shrines leisurely. Might require a few tries to get the warthog spawn in the right place.
Volitar
Aurora Glade was pretty difficult. The White Mantle aren't pushovers on Hard Mode and the team really needs to be on task.
I also found Jennur's Horde to be pretty difficult. Because of the speed boost, you may have a Margonite group on the opposite side slip by when you are killing a Harbringer.

The Elite mission in the Gate of Anguish by far and away the hardest in NM flat out impossible in HM.

We've got some really good tips for doing Aurora Glade. Some tips for Eternal Grove. Not so many for Dzagonur Bastion. I think I'm going to try all the toughest missions in HM first, just to get the annoyance out of the way. I'd like to see more tips and tactics on DB tho.
Esan
Dzagonur Bastion is h/hable in HM by following the GuildWiki advice. That's how I did it.
bifter
DB you really need to tool up for offense and just rush the bosses. I don't think many people could reliably beat it in HM, but you should be able to get a 50% success rate once you get your team and strategy down. Basically mop up the first groups, then RUSH the warrior boss and kill him ASAP, run back to protect bombards and rush the remaining three in order. Each one you kill will make your task easier as less spawns come.
Team-wide buffs - particularly for movement and attack speed, and defense are really helpful here. Some advise 2* MM, leaving one to guard a bombard, but I've personally never seen this work. Best to keep 8 in your team and gank fast I think.

Navaros
The only hard HM missions are the 4 man ones and/or the ones were you must protect NPCs with wonky AI. Which isn't most of the missions. All the others are very easy.
