High quarters elite challenge

[CantDieNoMore]

I think this is the toughest elite challenge to slay essence of magic with scythe while they are affected by vulnerability. I have figure out (at least a combination of vera vulnerability and final blow with scythe) but the real challenge is that out of 11 essences saying 10 is really challenging. I did 9/9 in my last run and missed the last 2 to make it 10. So livid. Could devs add a few more essences there?

you mean high quarter, right?

You can actually miss 2 essences since there're 12 essences of magic in the high quarter.

Yeah. Sorry I meant high quarters. Damn I missed one essence there then. Have to get back to that challenge again soon. That's the only thing left to be done there.

great I am going to try this as soon as I am back from work trip. But why do I need crit for this?

I loved vengeance until I got the tri-blade, which I loved until I got cold snap. the heal on crit of vengeance really adds to your survivability in tough spots, and the +crit damage on tri-blade really helped bring down mobs. of course, the vampiric property of cold snap, and the special really makes it incomparable, especially when you add in the attack speed bonus, which means more, faster crits.
at any rate, when I gear for scythes, I use 2 vampires, the beast, the moon, and the reaper, and I always make sure I have the cripple on crit and health regen on low health modifiers, with shockwave, blink, health pot and the built up med-pack for when you're slowed. I like to use a hammer as my off-set for the vampiric buff, and slam is nice to be able to fall back on when you've made tough mobs vulnerable

Very easy What??? It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell.. The thing is as random as the lottery and you have like a fraction of second before the Vulnerable condition wears off.. This challenge is just there to piss off people.

You're doing something horribly wrong. The Vulnerable condition wears of under 1 of the following conditions only:

• the vulnerable enemy gets hit by an attack that's not a demon power
  
• after 15sec of being vulnerable

"Slay ... while it's effected by Vulnerability" means it has to have the vulnerable debuff when you land the last hit.

In the end you don't have to do the challenge, if you don't want to.

if you're finding it challenging, then you're not split-timing your attacks properly. practice with the dummies in the castle. you should score a vulnerabile condition on nearly every shot. the only times your split timing changes is when you get hastened, or slowed, so those are the only times you shouldn't land a vulnerable condition on an enemy you're hitting.

I had plenty of practise, that isn't the issue. The vulnerable condition wears off considerably faster than usual on the essences. It isn't 15 seconds, that's BS. It's more like 1-2 seconds. I got this challenge anyhow by using the Berserk aura and being lucky. That is all. Also I have no idea where people find 12 essences on that level. I counted 10 and only 10.

Ok, if you can't handle the truth about the 15sec vulnerability condition on every mob (including every single 1 of the 12 essences of magic in the high quarters even with every hex on) then keep believing that it's only 2 secs if you really want to.


2 of the 12 essences of magic are in secret area.
