Aurora Glade Help

Can sumone please tell me how to do the aurora glade bonus?

Simple: Kill off all the runners/enemies at the crystals then go to where they come from and fight the boss. He's all alone and easy if you have beaten the rest of the enemies.

Just make sure that the White Mantle doesn´t gain control over all of the obelisks. It has happened that the runner tries to get another obelisk that is on the other side from where you are fighting. If one player keeps an eye on the obelisks while the others are fighting, you´ll have no trouble getting the bonus. Don´t gain control over all of the obelisks though, ´cause then there´ll be a cutscene and you can no longer get the bonus.

It's been along while since I've done this mission. I don't know if anything have changed since but this is what we (me, guildie and henchmen) did:

Pedestal 1 is the nearest (North), Pedestal 2 (East) and Pedestal 3 (West).

You take Pedestal 1 first as a safety net. Then get next crystal and go to Pedestal 2. By the time you get near there, White Mantle will have just taken Pedestal 2. Let them have it and wait for them to leave - do not aggro them. Once they're out of aggro range, take Pedestal 2. Wait here and ready yourself for a fight.

The next team of WM will be on their way. WM seem to always want Pedestal 2, so your job is to keep hold of it. When they come, target and focus on killing the crystal carrier before killing the rest. Do not stray too far from Pedestal 2 towards their camp. We found that getting too close to their camp caused more WM to come out and fight. Stay close by Pedestal 2 and they will only send 4 at a time, where one of them is a crystal carrier.

It will take some time, but you will soon deplete their numbers until they have no one left to carry a crystal. Now you can goto their camp for the bonus before claiming the remaining pedestal at your leisure.

Skills to speed yourself up are useful but not necessary. Skills that can slow down their crystal carrier is very helpful, along with skills that can deal out high damage quickly. Because they tend to come at you in groups of fours, you need to kill them fast (always kill their crystal carrier first) before the next group turns up. Call target and focus your attacks, and stay together.

Good luck.

I was just about to post a question about this. I've tried this mission 4 time now with PUG groups, and everyone seems to run around confused and lose quickly. No coordination. This should help out

I've never tried it Caged Fury's way - we simply attune the closest pedestal and wait along the path the Mantle come for it. Slowing the crystal runner, taking him out and his escort.

The things above all which guarantee success in this mission:

a) Stay together, don't run around like a crazy person.

b) A halfway decent minion master. They prevent Well of Profane whilst blocking up the pathway so the Mantle can't get through -- then sic your ele on them all grouped up nicely.

man, it's been FOREVER since i've done this mission, but last time i did it with a random pug, and it was super easy to get bonus. I was on an ele, and it turned out i was the only person to have ever done the mission before (had henchied it). so, i was the "runner" of the crystal, going back and forth, while the rest of my team went off to kill the bonus guy. Took about 5 minutes, and as soon as bonus thing ended, i just finished up running the crystals. takes patience, but it's easy.

BTW, r there any bosses u can use capture sign on in this mission to get Searing Heat? I've heard that there are.

I joined a group of 5 guildies (not of my guild) and they just said in team chat for everyone to bring a knockdown or slow spell. Then we weould try to body block the runners. Ridicuously easy, even though I died tanking lol
