[SdR] 11:45 Solo Arborstone [TAS]

Ok so this one was pretty complicated in terms of tactics, even compared with the 12 min and took a lot of time to figure out. Starting with the urn pickup.

Watching cutscene fully makes danika not walk all the way back to the original urn spot while fighting the stone guys. Sometimes she was doing stupid stuff but mostly it meant that. I obviously didn't want her going back to the middle of the room when I'm trying to skip those enemies and I want her to follow me. I also had to get my stone killed here, otherwise it fucks things up later. I also have to get myself hexed here to make Danika follow me better.

Once I get Danika away from the stone enemies I have to stuck her in a specific spot where she will path the necro way round to the end after I kill the war boss. Mostly the dredge group next to her was just killing her, depending on the spawn. Dropping the urn once she gets there makes her stay still HOWEVER if I get hexed or conditioned by the first 2 necros then she will move out of position a bit to try to heal me, and this will make her path the wrong way after I kill warrior boss so I have to avoid hex (with dc forward). Not killing stone means stone will follow me, get hexed/conditioned and Danika will move out of position.

The next this is I need to take note of when I leave compass range of the Dredge group, and 20seconds after that I will trigger Danika again and then run to end boss. This is so that Danika is activated for 20 seconds longer than the Dredge group, meaning providing I kill the Warrior boss at the right moment, the dredge group will be de-activated and she will remain activated just long enough to walk past them and get our of their agro.

The next thing is I need to kill the boss around exactly 1:15 after I leave Danikas compass range, if its too soon she will walk too far away from where I can trigger her from in the central room. If she doesn't walk far enough she will stop next to he dredge and die when I trigger her/them again. Sometimes she would just glitch out and not work even when done correctly though.

Then it is a case of triggering her twice more, at specific places where I can be in her compass range but not spawn enemies on her or trigger the end enemies again.

Not sure if 10 is possible with this exact tactics, I lost time but it was mostly a bit on urn pickup and a million stucks running back to trigger Danika.

This also makes a 6 duo quite possible by having the tank run to end and kill boss while the derv kills the stone things/dredge and then lets her run to end.

Good writeup, we did trio some months ago and came to similar conclusions about the mission script. One learning was that if you allow the cutscene to run long enough before skipping (around when the zoom-in on the players completes) and then skip, Danika will have completed her "the legend says" dialog right away. You can then use spellbreaker and aura of stability to escort her through the center. That being said, trio was giga cancer and we never finished a good enough run and we did not want to redo duo
