Unspeakable, unknowable

Wonder if these quest is doable with h/h
I've done with my ranger before. I didn't pick up anything until I got all dropped. also I don't know why alkar was following me after I got second crystal dropped. so that I don't need to worry about protecting him since he is with me fighting.

but when I was doing with my ele. alkar is always staying at the stair place.
even I didn't pick up Tome of Rubicon. the guide from wiki said don't kill the mob who drop Tome of Rubicon. and alkar will stick with me. but actually no. he was staying here after I reached there. he might leave the stair if my party need heal. but as I running away from the stair. he starts running back to the stair.

is there any combination of the h/h that I can flag heros to protect alkar and bring the folowing people to get the crystal?

Thanks very much

no one knows?
please help
bump

Used to do this quest many times in the old days (with people). Alkar always stays there, on the stairs, he never followed us

Recently did it with a friend of mine and 6 heroes. Me (war) and my heroes were getting the tomes and friend (monk) was there with Alkar

If you plan to H/H it, then you'll have to run back and forth - kill a group or two, return and defend Alkar, go again, kill another group, return again and so on

Since you're an ele, take some defenses (earth wards and blind flash on yourself or your ele hero). "Fall Back!" paragon or at least Flame Djin Haste for yourself will help running

For heroes I'd suggest an MM, 2 eles, or 1 ele 1 Para

Or you can go with so called sab's build (you and 3 necroes) + 2 hench monks + damage hench

Did it with Sab's just last night. I pin the MM and the spirit dropper with Alkar then go own the Blasty things. Just keep half an eye on the 3 health bars and run back if necessary (shouldn't be)

I did it old times with just Me(SS) & 7 hench so whats hard in it? it took several trys though
