Notes[edit]
- This meta chain can be stalled for several additional minutes at the Stygian Deeps defend event, giving other invasions time to catch up. Simply have 1-3 players kite the undead under water without killing them.
- This is the only invasion path that faces Veteran Risen Subjugators - good for exposing new players to this difficult foe without it being during the main escort up to the temple. Note however, the Veteran Risen Subjugators only appear for the reinforcements that appear after completing this event chain.
- If the beach is not defended and the escort to the temple fails at the very end, this chain can be picked up at Stygian Deeps on the defend event. The North and South invasions in the same scenario would have lost most or all progress. This makes it useful to have if you are going to make another push at the temple.
- Minimum players to reliably clear the event chain: 6 - this assumes you avoid the champion at Stygian Deeps. It helps however to have about a dozen players for the escort reinforcement.
- The first and second events share the same spawn locations and spawn pattern: 3 spawn locations, 2 active at any given time. Once you kill the final spawn at any active location, it becomes inactive and the formerly inactive location spawns new foes. This can make the two events very farmy for a large zerg, as the Risen spawn as fast as you can kill them. This 3-point spawn pattern is repeated in other Balthazar related events.
- Most difficult spot: Defending Stygian Deeps. This can be completed with fewer than 5 players, but gets difficult. The rest of the chain can be reliably completed by 2 skilled players. The trick for small groups is to meet the bulk of the Risen at a choke point, and dedicate a single person to kiting the Campion in the water, away from other spawns. While the champion is a wrecking ball in choke points on land, when deep under water a single player can safely kite it indefinitely.
