Hard Mode tips, tricks and guides (by Devos50) (If I vanquish an area again, I try to add it immediately) Eye of the North vanquish Ice Cliff Chasms Not hard if you know how to handle it. We began from Boreal Station. I took a guildie Dervish (don't know build), guildie Warrior and sab's build with 2 monks. I equipped myself with Savannah Heat and Pain Inverter. The avalances are a pushover because they don't use the annoying slowdowns and if he's using Maelstrom with Pain Inverter on him, he's just dead. The Dervish mobs can also hit hard, especially 4. For the Ice Imps we used a strategy: I was going forward and healed and bonded, I lured the ice imps, they used maelstrom on me and I go back (flag monks back!) so they wasted their Maelstrom. At the Elementalist boss, we got several party wipes (I always died:P). The Elementalist boss can be very hard, so you can take Mantra of Frost to reduce the damage dealt. Tip: Take Mantra of Frost (I forgot to take it:P). Bjora Marches Medium hard area, and big sized so it can take a while. We used the same set-up as Ice Cliff Chasms. We began from Longeye's Ledge and left the most of the animals there. We went straight to the cave, killed the mobs there and went to the Mandragors. We didn't got any wurm spawn (ok, sometimes a Frost Wurm, but not the boss) there. The Jotuns aren't very hard with Pain Inverter (I LOVE PAIN INVERTER!!!!) and the HARD part were the Stone Summits. We had a Minion Master with us and the Summits stole our Minions and killed us within a few seconds. After many wipes we managed to kill their healer so that wasn't the problem anymore. Just be careful with these. Tip: Keep the easy monsters for the last to reduce your Death Penalty you eventually got from the Stone Summits.
