I have done it with only one other player and the rest henchies. I was very sceptical to begin with but we did it. Well done to your guildie, I would never attempt THK on my own
Shusky
Yeah, did it too. Had to stop for ten minutes in the middle though, Mhenlo's mom called him for dinner.
burianek
I've solo'd it with each one of my pve characters.
Notice though, in th piccy that his skill bar is empty.
Apparently this player did it using only the henchies, watching from the sidelines.
Impressive.

lmao, dude youre not serious are you?

Forgot to put the smiley face...it's just plain funny.
It further proves that he really did let the henchmen do it alone, since any warrior in their right mind wouldn't switch between axes and swords...

You're right. He would need TWO swords in his weapon set to achieve a hamstring. In PvE. Where the casters don't run.
Deathqueen
With the new AOE scare of NPC's hamstring comes in quite handy in fact (smile)
Bane of Mortality
I've done THK with a full henchie team. It's actually surprisingly easy if you have a running skill so you can aggro every mob that enters (you have to stay at the bottom in between the two doors).
WinespringBrother
Not easy but it is doable with only henchies (if you have a lot of time on your hands) ... I beat it with air spiker/shutdown build, staying by throne at end and constantly spamming glim mark with 16 air (and leech sig and power drain as much as possible) at the jades and mursaats. Wasn't pretty or without casualties but it worked

To the rest of you I can assure you its for real. Obviously there will be the people that cry proof and won't accept even a video reel, for those that appreciate a guy who likes his challenges then here you go
He was chuffed, we are chuffed for him. I can also testify that taking henchies through the game is one thing. Using no skills is quite another, for those that think otherwise I suggest you try it, post a screenie from the talk to iron hammer prompt that shows your lack of build and a full set of alive henchies. I'm sure there are many that can out there and maybe it will give you a taste of a game in guildwars you never knew, set those 'impossible' challenges and get more from the game
Personally my task for the game is to solo a beastmaster through the missions... it'll probably take me YEARS to do if at all possible (thinking about THK/Abbadons mouth) but challenges like this are whats worth playing the game over and over in PVE.
Have fun out there

First henchies were too weak.
Now they're too strong.

Lol henchies to strong... the world will come to an end first. I think they are fine as they are. Only tweak i'd make is stop them randomly wandering into Fire/Poisen/Tar etc etc, they even doit if the party is totally still.

This is just a bragging post and he is not putting this into the screenshot section because not enough people look there unlike the community section
BDStyle
Oh for Ruriks sake.. ok mods feel free to move the post.
I was congratulating a guild member in the best way i felt i knew. He didn't even request this, he's just a good bloke that has done something that deserves a bit of recognition. If it is the wrong place then feel free to move it not that i'd have a choice in the matter.
@theoneandonlyx... why does it have to be a bragging post. When you say, sweet I made 30'000 at work today (or anything else that you feel good about) are you bragging or just happy you did it? GW's has a community out there willing to actually look at this thread as what it is, a congratulations thread to a mate that did well. I am certainly not bothered if more people see it and as i said.. if it gets moved so be it.
..... Wait.. can you hear that.... YES the penny has dropped. If you look deeper into that pic though it DOES address an issue that does crop up alot. The strength (or lack there of) of henchies, disregarding the fact i fellow guild member did this have younot realised it says something about the viablity of henchies. THAT is what a discussion forum is for... not to demolish a thread because you think its not worth it.. its there to discuss the issues behind the thread wether the OPmeant it or not.
A thread does not have to be a cookie cutter 'build' you know

i really, hate the idea of nerfing henchies(no offence dude). henchies are the only way some people can do anything, w/o a PuG team. so basically u would be taking the option away from them and forcing them to either solo, or deal w/ people.
Narutoscryed
HEY........ya done good kid.....ya done good

I find this amazing... congrats to all that have done or are able to do this. I find the henchies, for the most part too weak... but if this is possible, I'm doing something wrong.
So, umm, what's the secret?

I have a somewhat dry and sarcastic sense of humour, my original post was actually a dig at those that mock henchies as well as a 'big up' for 'me homie' lol. I certainly don't think they should be nerfed so fear not, i'm not going to start a nerf henchie campaign
The secret is tons of patience and a head for the game. TBH i wouldn't know how to do it as i haven't done it myself but i'm guessing its down to where and when you are in the keep at the end. I'm sure i can coax thug on here to explain how he did it, should he realise i've posted this (its 2am here). However i feel that by the time he gets on the forums tomorrow the thread will be languishing at the bottom ofthe page
Anyway bedtime for me.. happy gaming to all the american time zoneplayers out there and good luck to any east of there.... you'll get tired sooner or later

Henchies sometimes are acctualy smarter than human players. Especially after this update. I can clearly see the difference. Before i couldnt even pass the first murssat in Ring of Fire, now i go capping w/ them. and its acctualy much faster .

Basicly i always call with henchies as otherwise they attack what you attack and thats too slow. The key is keeping an eye on your henchie monks and calling on anything attacking them, Cyn helps with firestorm if you know how to posiotion yourself, and you can trap them or make em run from the henchie monks. And attacking the weaker armourd enemies first and working upwards.
(Also there was only 1 death on the mission, and it was me
. Thats right the henchies didnt die and i did once).Quote:

The one major advantage henchmen have over humans is you are in complete control over them. This allows you to focus your fire on what is most important, and the more competant you are as a player, the better the henchmen will be. However, henchmen can also be a nuisance for a pulling task, as they sometimes will charge into battle attacking a target. For the most part though they usually only start attacking when you tell them.

Ok, if I'm reading this right; you call your targets and the henchies attack what you called. I do this now mainly as a habit. However, as soon as I change targets, say to poison/pin down/whatever they change to my new target as well. I then have to re-call the original target.
Back to reading this right - Are you able to call a target and have them stay with it? If so, how are you able to do this? I've solo'd through most of the game with henchies but found them to be meat for the mobs most of the time. Like I said, I'm doing something wrong. lol
Keeping in mind it's late and I'm falling a sleep at the keyboard, I apologise if this has been brought up before. But, I've searched and never found the like. Most threads I've seen about henchies are what skills they have and how they need commands.

The Guildie in question is rather good lol, defo no psp involved if you challenge him he's like a dog with a bone so he had to do THK with henchies
Anarki
Oh hey Thunderhead Keep mission is one of the easiest late missions, you also get new henchmen with new skills.
asmo
Hench are too strong: my guildie and i went into the new tomb of the primeval king area with the 2 of us and 6 hench, well, halfway through the first level his comp kicked him off gw. So I was left alone with 6 henchies and me. i killed the rest of the monsters there(there were like 5 more groups) and I got into the 2nd level of the thing, well, I died there but it just shows how strong they are.
eur0b0y69
Henchies acctualy listen and not do whatever they want to do when u call a target. Humans tend to do whatever they want.
