"What is in the box...?" quest is impossible to do for melee characters

General Discussion
#1

“What is in the box…?” it’s quest in Coastfal Fortress

2 fast moving “clouds” that follow you all time and make quest fail as soon as they hit you + bunch of ranged monsters that have the same speed as those 2 “quest clouds”… you must kill all monsters to finish quest

BUT

the moment when you try to hit any monster those clods just reach you and it’s game over.

just remove those clouds or make them uber slow. dealing with 20 ranged monsters is annoying specially that half of them are archers that push you away >.>

#2

It’s not impossible, but it is shitty.

#3

Is that the part where you just have to destroy some debris and run away? Not sure you have to kill the mobs.

#4

No its the one where you are stuck killing 20ish mobs while a cloud chases you. The part that makes it difficult is the moving speed of the cloud is the same as the archers. You only have the time to hit them once or twice (risky depending of the skill used) before having to kite the cloud for the 100th time.

I remember having issues with this on my swordsman. It took a few tries and was frustrating but still doable. You just need some hp pots, aspersion buff, maybe put on a shield and just maneuver around.
There’s also the option to ask for help in Fediman or over shout chat. You’d be surprised the amount of nice players who are willing to help someone out. Not to mention the players who might help you cause they’re bored due to lack of content.

The quest in Namu Temple Falls for the third Tombstone was atrocious as well. At least 10 20k+ HP ranged Mages all spewing if you stand still even once and get absolutely blown up.

Some of the endgame quests are really painful for swordies. But I’d ask for help. People have done it for multiple hard of lag sensitive quests like the Karolis Springs activation quest.

1st archer (10 tries), Cleric (around 20 tries), 2nd Archer (3 tries) to clear it.

It is one of the few challenging quest in this game so lets keep it that way.

You have a dash.

Get sacrament if you’re having issues.

Use your dash.

Always hit the center debris.

#9

Wrong quest homeboy.

#10

Coastal Fortress gets me mixed up in the quests, but as for the ones involving minos archers I just swashed and lured them away from the petrifart, unload 1-2 skills, and run in circles.

Learning from Namu Ruin’s murder lizards help.

#11

This was a hard quest for melee characters? With my support cleric only having access to priest and krivis, I only needed a second attempt cause a lag allowed the cloud to hit me.

#12

I was a Corsair and pulled this off by getting someone to help, another melee character in fact. The clouds will scatter towards both characters instead of the one, making it much easier. If you have any wide AoE skills, like Seism from Barb, that also helps.

umm wow… makes me really worried about my swordy if you having issues doing quests that i did np with my full support melee cleric . my 170 currently one shots almost everything with earth wave though so idk maybe its your build
