Talk:The Hidden City of Ahdashim

600/smite
Just a heads up, you can completely clear this area and the one to south of here by just using the Rtiualist 600/smite build. I tend to farm here often as geodes drop here as well as other items that can be salvaged into gems. This is also a good spot for paragon and dervish golds. --68.32.187.152 12:07, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I just removed a note added to the article by Ryuwizard98 which stated: "This area can be easily vanquished using a 600/Smite team.". Are you the same person? Anyway, the reason I removed it is because it's not suitable there. Anyone not familiar with what 600/smite is will just be confused. The vanquishing notes section should contain generally strategies, cautions, and essential skills, not specific builds. There are many other stuff that would make vanquishing this area pretty easy, so the specifics and details (and better yet, links) would be all the more helpful on the talk page. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 12:10, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * oh ok i guess that makes sense edit: the above person isn't me btw Ryuwizard98 05:44, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope, diff people. "Anyone not familiar with what 600/smite is will just be confused." There is a wiki page for it. 600 --68.32.187.152 14:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * you can't completely vanquish this area with 600/smite.. no way to kill the Whistling Thornbrush groups. --Go4the1 06:32, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * There is, i just did it with me (600 derv) and Tahlkora (Smite). Sure the derv attacks helped but im sure regular 600/smite could do it. Only trouble i found was ble toungue hecket, gna take 1 war hero and 1 regular monk hero to sort that out though. -81.77.239.48 15:34, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the monks can be a pain. I always take hench and just flag them by the portal. That way, they only mess up drops at the begining but I can flag them thru the portal, to where I am to kill the monks. --68.32.187.152 03:52, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Blue Tongue Heket
I found about 3 of these in Hard Mode, I don't know if they're also present in Normal Mode. Ryuwizard98 08:59, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Should be. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 01:26, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * There were also about three in normal mode -- though I had Gift of the Djinn and Goren's Stuff: Part 2 active, so there's a (small) chance that affected it. Also, is it recommended to have Gift of the Djinn active for vanquishing?  Might have to delay accepting the reward.  --69.3.145.54 02:47, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yea, the heket have been verified and added already. Having that quest is a bad idea because it increases the number of djinns. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 07:01, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Vanquishing Tips
I vanquished this area pretty easily with two of the Sabway Necros (no MM), and a hero Ranger with Broad Head Arrow and Epidemic. I brought Herta, Sogolon, Mhenlo and Kihm and brought some skills like Summon Ruby Djinn, Technobabble, and Ursan for backup. I think Ursan was unnecessary as long as you focus on either caster shutdown or perhaps damage reduction. Hope this helps! Jaguar Ogith 01:43, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Vanquish note conflict
The Vanquisher page lists Gift of the Djinn as a quest that increases number of foes. The note in this page says this same quest reduces the number of foes. Which one is correct? --Sensei 23:59, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

If you COMPLETE the quest you get a lot more foes, I just found this out the hard way. As long as you dont finish the quest (ie put the dust on the pedestal, you will be ok. --Sorry I do not have an account can someone put this on the actual page?

Where is this located in relation to the main Vabbian area maps?
The pictures of the hidden city are excellent, however- I can't seem to find it when I open up my map and search for the city-

Is there a picture that shows where this area is located, so I can visually see how to get there? thank you cecil 12:29, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You have everything needed in the How to get there section. But I will put this up for you :

Inconsistency
On the Vanquisher page it says 'More foes with Gift of the Djinn Active' while this page says the opposite (Gift of the Djinn less foes). Can someone check and correct this? I would but I don't know how
 * Came here to say this, it is inconsistent, and I believe MORE enemies spawn with the quest active, not less.
