The only problem I'm having with farming the UW are the Bladed Aatxes. When I start out I go talk to the Lost Soul and accept the quest. I then begin to lure the graspings on the right. After that, I hit spring and lure the graspings on the left. I then run for my life back to the place where I start out. Everything goes fine then out of nowhere this Bladed Aatxes just comes and kills me. I have tried luring the graspings to multiple locations, but a bladed aaxtes from the left side always seems to find it's way to me.

Sometimes a popped Dying Nightmare will wander into your aggro zone. If that Nightmare belongs to an Aatxe, the Big Bad Black Bull will come to get you.

Aatxes can be pains...to be safe just remember that the farther you get them out of your aggro bubble before you have to stop running away, the better. Speed boosts are essential here. Problem could also be a nightmare that you didn't quite get far enough away from.

Not sure if this is the case for you or not....just guessing.

If it seems like an aatxe comes at you without aggro'ing its because of a Dying Nightmare.

To be more specific, its a Dying Nightmare that hasnt popped up yet that causes the aggro of the aatxe. Essentially, you aggro the pop up, which brings the aatxe as he is a part of the group.

Make sure you use a longbow and anticipate the aggro'ing window where the graspings are closest to you.

Ahh I see I see! I had not idea that Dying Nightmares would aggro the Aatxes. Thanks for the help guys.

Few questions , what prof an build are you using ? and what team size.
Way we always did first chamber is a tad longer than teams may use - kill aatxes and nightmares first ( and any popups ) then take quest as then only grasps need dealing with in first chamber.
Longer but easier.
