Been around killing off bosses and been too lazy to post. Most have been posted but a few i've found still haven't or I didn't see them.

Meynsang the Sadistic

His bow - Meynsang's Longbow
Piercing damage: 15-28 (req. 9 Marksmanship)
Damage +15% Always
Armor -10 (while attacking)
Lengthens Bleeding duration on foes by 33%
Health +30

Build - W/Me
Drunken Blow, Desperation Blow, Disrupting Chop, Heal Sig, Victory is Mine, Dolyak Sig, Physical Resistance, Sprint
Strength 12, Axe 9, Tactics 14, Inspiration 6


Start at Boreas Seabed or Maatu Keep and go to Pogmei Valley.
Run to where you see the Am Fah guys.
Run past them and hang right and make your way up to where the portal is.
You will see afflicted near there just keep runnin up to safe spot.
Meynsang's group will drop down and they will fight afflicted.
Meynsang's group will most likely win so just wait till theres 1-2 afflicted left.
Start killing off the Am Fah, especially healer or necro ones if they are left.
When he is alone run off and wait for him to be full health
(might allocate drop afflicted if hes down from their attack?)
Keep up dolyak and Physical Resist and rely on VIM to heal.
Let him use troll urgent once then watch his health to stop goin up then disrupt chop the 2nd use.

Meynsang the Sadistic.JPG

Chkkr Thousand Tail

His bow - Chkkr's Flatbow
Piercing damage: 15-28 (req. 9 Marksmanship)
Damage +15%
Armor -10 (while attacking)
Energy gain on hit: 1
Energy regeneration -1
Health +30

Build - W/Me
Drunken Blow, Desperation Blow, Disrupting Chop, Heal Sig, Victory is Mine, Dolyak Sig, Physical Resistance, Sprint
Strength 12, Axe 9, Tactics 14, Inspiration 6

Start at Saint Anjeka's Shrine and go to Drazach Thicket
Run up to the group of wardens and stay to the right of them.
Watch a Mantis patrol run up ahead of you and wait till they run back out.
Sprint up through the wardens if need be and stay next to the trees to your left to avoid Oni spaws (or not if you are unlucky just map back)
Another Mantis patrol goes next to Chkkr wait for them to go away.
Go kill Chkkr the same way as Meynsang.

Chkkr Thousand Tail.JPG

Geoffer Pain Bringer

His shield - Geoffer's Bulwark
Armor: 16 (req. 9 Tactics)
Armor +10 (vs. Piercing attacks)
Health +30

Build - W/X
Sprint, Heal Sig, Dolyak Sig, Gladiators, Wild Blow, free slots
or the grenths balance/riposte build works well

Start at Zos Shivros Channel and go to Boreas Seabed (explorable)
Run past his group (don't aggro)
Watch the naga group attack his group.
His group usually gets slaugtered so help him kill some naga off.
When he's finally alone let him regen then go fight him.
He is easy and has no healing signet so any build will do.

Jeoffer Pain Bringer.JPG

Cultist Rajazan

His sword - Rajazan's Fervor
Cold Damage: 15-22 (req. 9 Swordsmanship)
Enchantments last 20% longer
Energy +5

Build - W/X
Swift Chop, Penetrating Chop/Blow, Exec Strike, Heal Sig, Tiger's Stance, Dolyak sig, Charge, Sprint
Strength 12, Axe 12, Tactics 12

Sprint/Charge non stop till you get to shrine with npcs that heal you.
Run hugging left wall until u get to narrow path.
Keep running hugging right wall all the way up to boss.
Run past boss to be safe.
Try and pull boss only back to you (hit or miss)
Sometimes it seems he will be a pain and you gotta take out the group first.
If that happens isolate 1-3 of them.
Take warrior out first watch for random disrupt chops then use heal sig.
Others are easy but take ritualist out last.
Boss is a push over just take him out.

Cultist Rajazan.JPG


Chkkr Ironclaw

His axe - Ironclaw
Slashing damage: 6-28 (req. 9 Axe Mastery)
Damage +15%
Energy -5
Armor penetration +20% (Chance: 20%)
Health +30

Build - W/N (saw it on diff boss threads props to those who came up with it)
Riposte, Deadly Riposte, Grenths Balance, Heal Sig, Endure Pain, Bonettis, Dolyak, Sprint
Tactics 14-16, Strength 11-12, Sword 8-10 (Req for equipped sword)

Suggested Equip:
Gladiators vest and pants so dp doesnt hurt much
Zealous sword hilt
Longbow - important that you use it for pulling to reduces hexes and damage

Important Note:
-You must oppositely be aligned with side that owns town or you will res at wrong shrine.
-So if luxons own the town u must be kurzick and if kurzicks own town you must be luxon.
-If you are aligned with the side that has npcs at shrine near town entrance you will res there instead.

Start at Durheim Archives and go to Mourning Veil Falls
Sprint out like an idiot and die and get res way out.
You will res at the shrine far ahead run NW past warden patrol.
1 Oni might come after you kill it (If not search for it between Ironclaw and stationary warden group).
The warden patrol will go left past another warden group.
Wait for that warden patrol to come back to where the other group is.
Lead Chkkr's group to where the 2 warden groups are now are bunched (see note) and sprint up north (use endure pain).
It's ok if you die as long as you get all 3 groups in the battle 30dp is still more than doable.
Observe the battle for a little and see who has the upper hand.
When the battle is nearing an end help the few wardens kill mantis menders or storm ones (or seaons if its going the other way).
You can take him out if there is just one caster mantis (not mender) left with Chkkr (hunters left over are fine too).
When you got him alone let him regen then fight him.
Or
When you got him with manageable group (map back if not) kill of any hunters (dont fight casters) then Ironclaw (If hes fully regen)
Keep Riposte him and keep up dolyak.
If he gets you down to 150 use grenths (or endure pain then 150 again then grenths for big damage).
If you need health use bonettis then heal sig (should be used as last resort).
Watch out for deepwound (usually after a heal sig use) and cleave it does 100+ damage.
You can reach stalemates with him using this build but just keep it up you will eventually kill him.

Note:
If the 2 groups combined have 2 seasons and 3 earth wardens give Ironclaws group a headstart.
To do this let the patrol pass the stationary group so that u pull ironclaw to patrol.
Then wait until there is 1-2 wardens left pull the stationary group and run out.

Chkkr Ironclaw.JPG

I have added a video since people are having trouble that follows this guide.
I probably should have turned guild channel off but I got lazy just ignore the few messages.
The video shows the entire run though i did cut out most of the boss fight and didn't let him regen to make it shorter.
I used DivX6 to encode it.
Here is the link

You can fight to him with a healing hands build, and include shield bash in your build.

With the Cultist Rajazan, how does one get to the island? The port that seems to let me is closed off. Do I take the other exit and circle around or something? Sorry if this is noobish.

For Rajazan you have to map to the harvast temple and exit from there. The other portals are blocked off.

For Ironclaw yeah it seems you need more luxon faction to get to the res shrine way out when you die. I wasn't sure about that but am now.

Pain bringer has always spawned for me just hug the left wall and keep going you will see him in the group. The naga that fight his group aren't triggered until you are near pain bringers group. Only explenation if you can't find him is if you have a quest that stops him from spawning but i don't think that happens with him. Ignore those red dots on the minimap that go up because that was me just looking for another boss.

Geoffer is quite easy to farm, but I think the drop rate has been nerfed. I did it with a boring old riposte build, but sometimes I found Geoffer got killed by Naga Archers, using Sundering arrows and evade stances. To remedy that, I brought Wild Blow with me. It's not a very hard boss to farm, just bring wild blow and you should have no problems.

You have to help Painbringer kill the naga, otherwise you wont get his drop cuz theyll kill him, you bring Wild Blow to stop the archers Escape stance.

Geoffer is more likely to drop his shield if hes weilding it.

keroberos you can pm me in game if you want me to show you but you need more luxon faction to res at the shrine far off.

Ok sooo...

I got Ironclaw's group killed by wardens then killed Ironclaw. Tough drop rate I guess, he didnt drop it after 3 or 4 deaths. Maybe I need to try alot more. Thats probably it....

Killed Painbringer, same deal. Many many kills, no shield. He does die easily though.

EDIT: Ok I see what to do about the heal signet interupt at Rajazan, missed that the first read over. Thanks.

I guess I was lucky because i got 2 ironclaws in 4 runs. You should make sure you let the bosses fully regen before you fight them because the drops might allocate to other enemies that attacked them but I'm not sure.

also can do strongroot with the w/n build, just sprint past afflicted cause a fight sprint to the rez shrine, then go in and kill him when they have finished.

how much is strongroot's shelter worth these days and another thing...Sskai is refusing to drop the sword for me...after 70+runs I have not had a single drop. Got gold 2 gold items and 2 gold runes from him but I think Anet has hit Sskai with the nerf bat really really hard. I dont bother with Geoffer the Pain Bringer my riposte build, does Riposte work against arrows? I didn't know they counted as melee damage?

Uhh yeah, I just tried the rajizan run and its impossible to get to him, right when you almost get there, there are mobs of oni that rape you with scorpian wire, and the dehabilitating shots from the shiroken do not help either.

I would like to know how you got there. (really)

Tips for running are don't go near the warriors and dont stop except at the shrine and past the boss (or heal sig right before boss then run). Also, have vigor rune (I use major), hp in stance or always shield, and fortitude hilt help some. I can show you in game if you want. The only trouble you should have is getting stuck on warriors in the beggining doing this run.

Also I updated the Ironclaw section a little.

thanks for that rajazan build. got to him with no problem. if you have problems running there you might be running the wrong way.



i switched out swift chop with penetrating blow so all my attack skills are purely adrenaline

I rather use grenth's balance build, since you can kill Merki on the way too. Rajazan use meele weapon in low range, so it's far better use ripostes. I found grenth's balance build better there, since it provide a very good self healing.

The ironclaw farm is pretty difficult to grasp. I have managed a few times to kil him, with no success, but the point is, its only about 1/5 times that i have managed 1) to drag the mantis' to where the warden groups are before getting owned by crip. anguish and leaping mantis sting, and 2) to get Ironclaw to stay alive, without running in by himself and getting pwnt.

Any videos, screenshots or other threads about how to farm him? thanks

I have killed him (not dropped it) but the effort in trying to get the `fight` going just frustrated me too much. You can lure either group and once you get them halfway, they head straight back to where they came from.

Yeah the enemy ai can be dumb at times like henchies.
Its a hard thing to accomplish and i do it about 50% of the time.
The other 50% well....

The video is finally up. The space in my user name for filefront screwed it up so I made a new one. The link is actually to the real file this time sorry to anyone that got the other video whatever it was I have no clue.

*Downloading now* Yeah the battle between AI's really got on my nerves. Almost as soon as the mantis' got in range of the wardens they head right back to their spawn and Ironclaw runs in. Its crazy. Hoping the vid will help tho, thanks
