If you are looking for the bonus in the Thunderhead Keep mission. You need to light both beacons within a few seconds of each other before the waves of Mursatt & Stone Summit start coming in. Once all the waves are done, go kill those that don't come by the gate way, then talk to the king. I have heard that one person can do it with speed boosts but I have never seen anyone actually do it.

its very much possible, i did both NM and HM and lit the beacons with no speedboost xD but yes as kzaske stated it has to be within the first few seconds after the cutscene to light the beacons and be able to obtain the bonus at the end.

I concur. I've done it with bonus H/H and didn't need any speed boosts. I skipped the cutscene however so I don't know if that makes any difference.

Acutally lighting the beacons was a bit easier because the mursaat forces aggroed the giants for me and they killed each other

Time to get the bonus can be tight if you are soloing H/H. A good tip is to flag your H/H at the top of the fort near where the king stands after killing the mobs in that area. Make sure you kill the frost giant mob outside the fort using the catapults before killing the rest of the mobs and boss and triggering the cutscene.

Without the knockdowns from that mob, the beacons can be lit pretty easily solo without speedboosts.

Please, people - when your query is answered, do NOT delete the OP to say "closed". That is only necessary in Ventari's. In other sections of the forum it's just a pain because we don't know what the original question was.

This is a living history right here!
