Haiju Lagoon (mission)

The first of the reenactment missions offered during the Dragon Festival.

Objectives

 * Destroy the "chaos rifts" in Haiju Lagoon. [0...8] rifts destroyed.

Reward

 * 50 Victory Tokens

Walkthrough


Enter via Captain Rujiyo in Shing Jea Monastery. Opening the mission map will show you the locations of the rifts. Red flags are open rifts, blue ones are closed ones. The Chaos Rifts can be reopened by patrolling mobs, so be sure you kill all enemies in the surrounding area.

Make your way to rift 1 --> 2 --> 3 --> 4. Then backtrack (walk the same way back) all the way to rift number two, this prevents other popups. From there go to rift 5 --> 6 --> 7. After you have finished closing all these 7 rifts, start making your way towards rift number 8, you will find that it's an island. Take a lap around the island first, to kill the patrol mobs, after you've done that, pull the mobs that are guarding this last rift.

Tips

 * Bring hexes and skills that inflict conditions and spam targets for your heroes, they will quickly dispose of the foes.
 * Make your target priority Wrathful Storms (area of effect damage), Banished Dream Riders, Scythes of Chaos, then Grasps of Insanity.
 * The Wrathful Storms frequently cast their AoE skills on different targets, so keep moving.

Trivia

 * In addition to the monsters listed above, Terrorweb Dryders also appeared during Dragon Festival 2006.
 * In subsequent years, all quests and missions were re-enactments of the first year's events. As such, the original monsters were replaced with actors and the rifts with pinwheels.
