torch lighters gauntlet

[Razimir]

Hello, this quest seem impossible to do for me as Warden. Undead o straight for that man and even if i kill everything that get close to him, they kill him with bows...

Go to the top of the tower first alone, allowing you to clear out a bunch of enemies to start with. The final lot of spawns are the real problem; if you can agro them enough to distract them, you should be okay. Maybe use a scroll to clear them out if you are desperate?

and stop using names for double classes, name them both

monster lure is not working? colos+studyprey+callofthehunt?

Ok, finally I made it. One scroll of Cyclop helped a lot. Cyclop got agro so man with the torch was safe.

This does NOT work at all if it ever did! I wasted money on a cyclops scroll and half the waves just stood there ignoring the cyclops killing them and shot the lighter to death while another third just ignored me and waltzed right past him. I cleared them out beforehand. I didn't even get to the third wave!

Is there a way I can cheat to mark this quest done or do it by some other means? I hate cheating but I hate screaming in a rage even more!

It doesn't matter when you do this quest so you could come back after you've leveled and geared up more.

If you decide to try again, I would suggest a scroll of storm witches. The storm witches cast squall which impairs aim so some of the arrows would miss the torch lighter. Also if you have any items that grant increased damage to undead use it. You could put a Djed of Osiris on a weapon for increased damage to undead. The faster you kill them the better.

This is one of the more annoying quests in the game. Best advice is to skip it and come back later when you're stronger and then run the area alone and kill everything. Then go back and start the torchbearer on his way. After he starts get ahead of him and keep killing everything that spawns.

Took me a number of try's on my Warfare/Defense Conq, but I finally got it.

... thing is, don't use pure physical/pierce damage against undead. You don't have Int for elemental scaling, but always use weapon that has as much flat elemental bonus as possible besides physical and, yea have someting like Djed of Osiris on it ...
