Southern Shiverpeaks

I remember it well, the first time I did it it was hard. It may be worth getting a few guild members to help you out till you get a few better skills. As you are a warrior, it may help to try a good tanking/defensive build and flag your heros out of the aggro bubble then allow them to attack. Their armor against fire is pretty poor, so I recommend the fire hench as a must! (I assume you don't have heros)

Failing that, give me a shout you have my IGN, I will get you there. your IGN is where it says character name right?

and I have heroes ^^ whats the fire hench btw? O.o which one is that

oh and yes, it is damned hard, although I've only tried it several times with 2 human players (me and my girlfriend) and 3 heroes each....and we still get killed at the first hurdle of summit creatures and ice creatures (when leaving from mines into frozen forest)

IGN = In-game Name. On this forums people quite usefully put theirs in their profile that appears with each post.

The Fire Magic based henchman in the Southern Shiverpeaks is usually either Orion or Cynn (I much prefer Cynn but oh well).

I remember not finding it too easy the first time I was around the Frozen Forest but pulling and going after the right monsters first made a big difference. whenever I tried to pull monsters away, another one from a group that is right next to the one I was trying to pull interfeared ;_;

Most of the run isn't too bad, at least the first part from the Droks. Just be patient, but there aren't many large mobs in the first place in that section.

Icedome is mostly a practice in careful agroing and watching patrols. The roughest part is the very end, and if need be, just run to the exit.

The Frozen Forest, the very first part is tough, as the patrols will circle around and get you if you're not careful. Best to wait outside of the loop (there's a looped area on the map patrols circle), and hit the patrols as they come by, pull them, and kill them.

There are two things that are rough about the area. There are healers, and it's passable to get multiples in a group. Try to take them out first. The other is the Mesmers, who are rather effective at shutting down your party's monks (or at least they were way to effective at shutting me down when I was doing this as my monk). Live people can help, but this is where, at least for Prophecies, you can no longer get by with any old junk build. Examine your skills, try not to spread out points too thin, and look for synergy and energy management. You don't need to have "1337 skillz", but here is where things start getting significantly harder than they used to be.

Stu, feel free to look me up if you need a hand. IGN Meloran Avenro, Dawn Hayes, or Faith Hayes (any will work, all the same account) thanks, I'll add ya later. and yes after several more attempts, I agree, things are starting to get significantly harder.

And whenever I try to pull one or two of them away, loads of them all come as if they are all in the same group, they all gang up on one person and then another until we're all dead... As difficult as it may seem, those large Shiverpeak mobs can be pulled apart. You have play with the aggro limit until you snag just a couple, then rinse and repeat. This can be done via bow or flagging.

Keep in mind that while it's certainly doable, it's not particularly easy.

PM me here and I'll give you more details, if you want to try it.

Easier way:
Droks->Ice Dome (kill Stone Summits, run by ice imps to city)->Complete Mission and end up in Iron Mines of Muldune(easy - just don't attack Jade Armor or Mursaat)->walk from IMoM to Copperhead Mines (somewhat difficult, but after the 4th battle (ice golems and stone summits by the bridge), you shouldn't have much trouble. The ice dome is between the Frozen Forest(Area outside the Copperhammer mines) and Talus Chute (The area outside Drocks). I believe you mean the Ice Caves of Sorrow mission, which is right by the Drocks.

And yeah, that mission isn't too bad if you avoid the Mursaat. If you have Heroes or a MM, they can often take the Spectral agony brunt of 1-2 of them, but more than that can be deadly.

My team took down the Ice Caves of Sorrows mission first time round, pretty easy That is what you should be doing as it takes you to IronMines of Muldune Mission and from there you can get to Copperhammer Mines but if you are going to walk there an MM hero would be great to get at those gnashers.

I leave from the iron mines entrance, but as I said above, I am greeted by, a few enemies (the ones with the ice imps), then after those few enemies LOTS of seige ice golums (I think that is what they are called) and summit monsters for quite a long while

and iirc, alot of these monsters don't leave corpses (or at least that is what I read) so I haven't been bringing a MM hero

Yeah, sorry, I did mean Ice Caves of Sorrow.
