Mercs, task 9 for Cookie, WTF

Task is to destroy 180 beasts. WTF? Where do I find so many beasts? How much TIME do I need for this task? This is realy too much.

The Barrens, but mostly Cookie’s fish.

Easiest thing is probably to use Cookie and Anacondra to spawn Beasts and kill them yourself. Easiest node is probably a blue node in Barrens first chapter, since the 2 blues (keep only 1 alive of course) use magic and deal only little damage easily healed by a third member.

Thank you. I did it on last bounty in Barrens (kodo something). But I needed two days to finish this stupid task. But, thanks for the advice.

Quite a few tasks are like that for various mercs. The trick I taught myself was to limit my attacks to specific mercs to keep the oppo board alive long enough to score whatever points they want. Sort of counter-intuitive and normally counter-productive but…it helps teach the mechanics of specific spells.

The easiest way is to go to the Serena Bloodfeather bounty (Barrens 1-3), Normal difficulty.
You need only two mercs: Natalie (Anacondra is an option) and Antonidas (you can use anyone with 14+ single target damage). The goal is to find a Hyena Alpha (Protector) encounter there.

Then just do the following:

  1. Kill all enemies except of the Hyena Alpha.
  2. At the end of each turn Hyena Alpha summons a beast (hyena) token with 14 health.
  3. Heal Hyena Alpha, kill the token beast.
  4. Once in 2-3 turns heal your damaged characters.
  5. Goto #2

Took about 40-50 min to complete. You would also like to track the progress somehow.

And yes, testing and QA processes in the company are poor as always. This is what you get by releasing an unfinished product in order to grab more money from players. I bet the proper reading for this task would be something like “Deal 180 damage to enemy beasts”.
