Thunderhead Keep Is Easy...Just let Henchies do the work

Tried doing Thunderhead Keep yesterday for the umteenth time....managed to get to the keep and held off a few waves (mursaat elementalists were the hardest that appeared). Went for something to eat and expected to come back to my character standing idly back at the beginning after being nuked by the evil hordes.........

I came back after 20 minutes. Much to my surprise I found that both the King the Henchies were in perfect health . The ground was littered with drops (nothing of note though ) and Confessor Dorian was standing at the gates. After a quick 2 minute battle I was in the Fire Islands.....

I was so fed up with this mission I abandoned a previous character and started again!......talk about frustrating.....When in doubt just let the henchies do it.

lol, where did you idle

How talk about lucky.

lol, I knew THK was easy with the henchies, but I now discover that it's still easy whitout a human !

After playing 4 times whit not listening noob humans I understood that I should go for the henchies. I did it 1 time whit henchies and it was a piece of cake. I never failed in any THK since. I dont understand the people whining about THK. I never tried to let the henchies alone though...^^

I tried it with henchies once, and we got killed fairly quickly. I dunno why, seeing as they should have been able to do it

the secret with the henchies : don't take any warriors with you, and you really control the aggro bubble

Lol, very nice job. (lucky)

That further illustrates why players are what make it hard, not the mission itself.

People have completed the game with just henchies. Lots of people dont like them, but there actually good.

I just left them at the top of the stairs. Yeah I think having several warriors is the worst thing. I just took two warriors (including my character). So I think there is something in reducing the "aggro bubble".
