Visier of Orr
AbeCadabra
Has anybody been through the mission in Riverside Provence where you deliver the Scepter of Orr to the Visier and then have to protect him while he summons the boat? If so, how do you keep alive while he's summoning the boat? My friend and I have been through it repeatedly and it seems like the death of our characters is the signal for the boat to show up...

Protecting the Vizier while he summons the boat is the Sanctum Cay mission. You have to either defend him by killing all the White Mantle that come or do the runner's trick.

It takes a while. There are a lot of waves, but if you just camp right around the end of the bridge, even with henchmen, its not that hard.

What's this "runners" trick?

you inch up and aggro nothing
or just aggro <5 guys and tank it out of range of the visor and then run on the boat...this mission is real easy once you get the hang of it
*hint* you can book trick it till the cutscene

What's a "book trick"?
Thanks, though...

tank holds a holdable item and draws all aggro
book trick = FoW book trick
SF gear trick
FA barrel trick
just hold the scepter
book trick = FoW book trick
SF gear trick
FA barrel trick
just hold the scepter

And once the Vizier get's the scepter, we can't really get it back...

We even got the bonus score. It's just that last part where the vizier takes his $%*%@& time casting the ritual that we keep finding ourselves holding our butts. <grumble grumble...>

Look if anyone on in this thread really really really can't do it, drop me a msg and I'll try it...or get my friend who solo's it all the time to do it. We do full ascension runs for people...for a fair price. The ascension part...not the helping with SC part.

It's been a long time since I had a character through there, but it seems like there was a sweet spot near the dock, where if you hung out there while the vizier is raising the boat, the mantle never show up. If that hasn't been changed by now, maybe somebody else has more exact information.
WinespringBrother
if you stand on either of the 2 hills next to the dock, you will be ok. I've done that, and most of the time, no white mantle attack (occasionally 1 or 2 show up). You hang out there for the 3 minutes (I timed it) that the Claim Resource spell takes the Visier to summon the boat - it's cool to watch the boat appear also rather than fighting
Eldin
Yeah. That works, but I think only when you're the only person in the party. Tried it with my friends and it didn't work.

your friends have to sit on that little ledge overlooking the pier while you go out bit by bit until you trip the visier.did it with a full henchie group yesterday so that works also
note that after you clean out the very close in mob you can take the henchies back to rotscale and have them stand in the poison until dead so they wont accidently wander off and trip the mantle at the pier
Murder In China
Inch your way up on that hill area next to the dock, when you see two White Mantles rushing at you, stop and turn back. Lead the two White Mantles back and kill them so you don't generate more.
WinespringBrother
I've done with all hench and with all humans, and it works both ways.
When I'm with all hench I just go on top of the hill and stand there. The hench follow. No inching around or anything. And no white mantle then either.
Don't know about hench wandering off, they always follow me wherever I go.
The only times I've been attacked are when human players either don't stand up on the same hill as me (they stand on the other one despite what I told them) or don't stand all the way near the top of the hill. Then, 2 white mantle attacked.
Sometimes, hench are better

Thanks for the help folks. Worked like a charm the first time. Guess I was acting more like a warrior than I thought. Run right in, get my butt kicked, etc...
Thanks for the help again.

I think I held one side myself my first time through while my team squabbled over the other side.
Ranger + a trap or two + troll unguent equals white mantle bodies angry that they couldn't take you down.

We also did the quest with a full party & only had to fight 2-3 Mantles 
it is all about where you are standing. It was my fourth char through & I had never seen the boat rise lolz. we all stood near the dock (some on the dock itself) and were fine. Hope this helps
