[edit] Walkthrough
To earn the right to challenge Zhu Hanuku, the party first has to defeat the champions from three Luxon clans. Each group includes two bosses. The next group will spawn and move towards the center of the arena as soon as the last mob of the previous group is killed. While the first two groups should be fairly easy, the third one includes Argo, a very hard hitting Elementalist boss. Keeping him interrupted will be very helpful for the party.
After defeating the champions, the party gains access to the Spear of Archemorus. While it is not needed to finish the mission, it somewhat speeds up fights if you bring it along. Make your way directly towards Zhu Hanuku. The patrols on the way can mostly be avoided, only kill those that might aggro while you fight Zhu Hanuku.
Zhu Hanuku can pose as a dangerous enemy. Its Jade Fury skill will deal large amounts of AoE damage in a wide range. Additionally, Zhu Hanuku resurrects the Kraken spawns that also spawn once the fight starts. However, both the resurrect and the Jade Fury skill have long activation times. A ranger or mesmer with interrupts can completely shut Zhu Hanuku down, making the fight very easy. In absence of these, the melee fighters should bring interrupts to do the job.
[edit] Master's reward
Since the "normal" way to fight the mission is very quick, all groups should be able to achieve master's reward, unless there is a wipe.
[edit] Skill recommendations
- Plenty of interrupt skills for Argo and Zhu Hanuku.
- As a Ranger (or bow-wielding Ranger secondary) you might consider bringing Broad Head Arrow (or a signet of capture, since it is one of the elites capturable during this mission), as this will ensure that both Argo and Zhu Hanuku are interrupted constantly. However, against Zhu Hanuku, the Broad Head Arrow Dazed effect lasts for only about a quarter of the normal time.
