Dreadhorn Peerless

still a work in progress....




Make sure and have a fighter among your group for key gathering.

Have the whole group slowly proceed together up to the Gnaws Cave at the end of the sand.

Make sure and grab atleast 2 of the purple thorney keys that spawn on the ground in the sandy area as you make your way up to the cave.

Have the fighter lead the group and ingage creatures as we proceed up.

Once the cave has been reached kill Gnaw so you get atleast 2 keys from him.

The next part is the important part. Have the fighter play the part as the meat sheild..aka lurer of creatures.

It is much easier to have the whole party stay at the top of the swamps and keep EV's spammed at all times and have pets ready for when the rest of the named creatures are lured up to the group for ganking.

Best to lure just 1 at a time, but in some cases it don't work that way as they will spawn together and mass target you.

When a large group of the "named" nastys spawns and all target the lurer, this is when things can go bad real quick.

Spite is probably the worst of them all...stay clear
of this changling if you can.

We always try and gather atleast 2 sets of keys using this method, but end up with many extras while trying to get the last remaining key.

When we have all the keys, we travel quickly & together along the far left side (Dreadhorn's Island side) and proceed down to the final area to drop the keys.

I've had no problem at all getting looting rights with my fighter while battleing DH. Spamming Enemy of One as soon as you enter is a must because DH hits me with that nasty area effect spell dropping my Int. in half causing me not to be able to exicute the spell.
I mix in jousting and standing DH while I fight and have good success. Not died yet! hehe. ;D

Interesting, that explains why I saw a mixed group standing near the sandy area the other day.

I practise my barding skills off and on there sometimes so if you see me bolting towards you with a big bunch of nasties, it's not on purpose. It's the only exit area.

Tell us more about using fighters. We had terrible results fielding those ourselves.

I'll try and finish my above post about how we do it within the next day or 2 Seth.
I've attempted DH many times using a mage with no fighters in our group and it's ended in many, many dirtnaps.
Having 1 or 2 fighters doing the intital luring and fighting for the keys with the rest of the group casting EV's near the sand/swamp border area works great and dropped our amount of dirtnaps by a huge margin.

[Seth TAA]

That will be great.

I am still mad that the bandage speed nerf made even an fully artied out archer/warrior less able to handle damage. Recently, I wondered about Bushido Parrier Chiv Dexers. Then again, still require a support team of mages i think.

Here's a few things I've learned the last few Dread Horns we've done. 1. He will not hit a tamer for a large amount of HP as long as you dont cause any direct damage. 2. he does not liked to be peaced if you try to peace him he will teleport you over and over again. 3. from what I can tell you can stand right next to your pets and vet as long as you are not close enough to hit DH.
The last 4 that I have done my tamer has had on a 1406 luck suit with only 2 deaths and that was because I was trying to peace him.
