This is starting to make me mad. I want to get there, but everytime i get to the swamp part, even after the drakes we get killed... is there a trick to this or someone willing to help me out

The trick is to just skip the mission and walk to Lion's Arch. You'll only have to fight some level 11-12 stuff in groups of 3, much easier. Just take the portal out of town and head south west (have to go north west a bit then it turns back south).

I couldn't finish that mission, tried 10 times.

what you must do at the swamp part is dont go into the swamp, but stay on the hills just before that and fight from there and then pull what mobs are left and kill them. i managed to finish it in the first run thks to a knowing warrior that told us what to do (we sure died a lot in that mission - although not all at the same time doh ).

that was very hard mission in BWE's and I think developers are drop its difficulty level a bit.. when swamp comes, take right hill and hold the forces there and with few tries it should not be a problem to get to lion arch

i ran from yaks bend to lions arch. i even went back and got payed 1000 gold to guide a level 10 guy to lions arch. i really like the place, specially because now i got my 15-22 dragon sword

The mission WILL smoke the unwary, that swamp water is killer. But if you can convince your allies to not stand there and take the poison.. Its easy. =P

After all my henchmen died on my first try I noticed that theres actualy a winding little path, it's pretty simple to pull the undead out.

(Not with henchmen though, they dont understand no matter how much you yell at them.)

I actually run a service (only 200 gold) to get you from there to Lions Arch in 30 minutes or less. We have our secrets
But you just need a good healer, and some warriors who are willing to play the "right way".
I have never heard of this "other way" of getting to LA but I have always been annoyed with the mission because once you die, you must restart. I always go exploring that area because it is so beautiful and theres so much that you miss when you do the mission. Thanks for the alternate route to LA. I really do appreciate it.
