Haukke Manor - for my education

Hello,
relative noob here. Last night I sucessfully completed Haukke Manor (not the hard version). At one point - I believe it was after we cleared the basement the members of my party seemed to teleport away to face the final boss. In all the confusion I may have missed something and could not figure out how to do that myself. shortly one of my party had to come get me and lead me to the boss fight like a child. I will be running that dungeon again for various reasons and don't want to let my party down. Does anyone know how the teleportation (something about a crystal, I believe) was done? And - my gratitude to the party members who took such good care of me.

Thanks

They used their return ability. The one that usually takes you to where your "bound" in the overworld.

They used "return" which can be found in General, under Actions and Traits.
Not sure why they didn't just tell you that. But oh well.

The reason they use the return ability in the first place is because this is the only dungeon that has you backtracking once you beat the final boss. I guess that's why I like this place so much. That and it's right after Thousand Maws, arguably the most boring dungeon in the game.

A handy tip, if you can't be bothered looking for the action/don't want to hotkey it, you can just type /return.

it's the only dungeon that has you backtrack, but doesn't provide the teleport for you

Thanks for all your input. I appreciate it!

Yes, as others have said, it's Return. If you use it inside a dungeon it will send you to the starting point for that dungeon. This can also be used in dungeons that have one-way zone lines (like Brayflox HM) if you want to go back and pick up missed chests after the rest of the group leaves too. ;)

I don't understand why they just didn't tell you. It makes no sense. I always make sure to tell new players to use Return, usually twice. Some people. Ugh.

I usually put the auto translate of /return because some people don't understand what it means. I think its easier to correlate.

Thanks again for all your help. I appreciate your time and trouble.

Are we saying that I could use "return" after the fight is over and go back and explore the dungeon at my own pace? The reason I ask is that my experience was a speed run and I didn't get to go into all the various rooms (for the accomplishment of mapping Haukke Manor). This would be of great value to me.

Thanks again for the input. This is a great community!

you could just walk outside of the boss room
haukke doesnt prevent any backtracking

Sure you want this often chests are skipped as well :)
In Dezmael Darkhold, Wanderers Palace, Amdapor Keep and Pharos especially I tend to use this function to grab some nice mats that might drop. Might be connected to a suicide run but you just restart at start again and can go for next chest (you cannot imagine how close I get to the instance end in those if I really do all chests skipped ^^)

This helps in lower dungeons too. Many people skip the chest on the left side during the fork in Tam-Tam. (15) one. It can have a chance to drop the green earring for magic classes which sums for 44k on my server. I always return and run back for chests. You'll die but its worth it. o/

I wondered about this when I read the suggestion. If content was bypassed then it's got monsters that will attack in a pack.
I do like this suggestion since there's so many dungeons that I never fully explored.

I ran that dungeon several times b4 I figured this out lol. Thought u used the bloody scroll that drops from that boss or whatever to teleport!

One point to add: Some of the areas, you'll need a key to open... so make sure you grab all the keys you can to open those doors that weren't opened during the run. I can count at least two doors we don't normally open unless someone is asking for a full-clear for max EXP in that particular run.

The last door to the left before boss in HM people skip but there is a pack of mobs before the door. Idk if thm has aoe sleep by that time, but if you do, go for it. There's some good gear in there, accessories / neck>?, and tank shield.

Yeah I always make a point to tell folks to use the return command. Something along the lines of "Now we return to the start. Use the return command or just type in /return."
