Talk:The Defenders of the Forest

Unless your a healing profession yourself, Im not sure the quest is possible with just AI healers. Seriously I failed it 3 times in a row after getting stomped by a shit ton of popup mantids and bosses near the last dude to pick up. Deffinetly clearing path first on this 4th try.

 * I did it with 2 henchmen healers, not sure why you are having problems. Pika Fan 01:42, 2 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Were you doing it HM? It's pretty easy NM, assuming you don't go near any bosses. Double damage plus crazy NPCs who rush into melee is not good. -- Hong 03:03, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

You have to cross a river with a boss and a few patrols and the ever lovely mantid popups to get the last dude and head to eternal grove. It was in NM and thats why i thought it was crazy i was having so much trouble. 4th go i just cleared path ahead and went back for npcs. They are 20mo ingame so i assume they are 60ar running frontline without defensive skills and im not sure how henchmen/heros priority Ally listed npcs reguarding healing. Suppose the mantids droping alot of maelstroms on henchies put too much presure on the casters. Any how its done and since i was the first to post on this page that just tells me that I musta been too over confident in my heros abilities. Justice 08:59, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Just finished this quest in NM. I went ahead and killed all foes as it suggests to do, then went back and retrieved the three volunteers. Did notice that the three volunteers walk rather slowly, but I'm glad I didn't chance it. There are a bunch of bosses on the way, so do your research and see if any of them are something you need to cap. Darwin Iznang 16:36, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

- BUG (?) I cleared out all the enemies, including bosses anywhere close to the path. -I- got killed once doing this, but THEN picked up the 3 dudes. Got them to the end point, but NOBODY went up to the Sgt. and the Sgt. did not recognize that I had completed the quest! My log was showing mission accomplished (no "mission failed, return to outpost" message), but I could NOT get into the eternal grove!

Two questions: 1) If _I_ get killed does it blow the mission?  2) If I kill EVERY enemy nearby does it blow the mission?
