    Forever Taken (R34 main story) Help

    Well, I got PGL to 34 and thought that I would give this a shot. I followed a guide but the guide is from January. The problem now is I'm certain SE placed a number of extra high-rank (70+) aggressive monsters that one-shot me haha. Easily hit me for double my max HP. I was just wondering if anyone has found a way that works recently.

    Maybe I'm just having horrid luck with their placement or someone ran them through and they just hung out but any help would be appreciated, would like the SP to help me see more of the story sooner rather than later (who knows how long 34-50 will take currently).

    Oooo. Yeah, you need a friend to help you with that one. Get them to distract the mobs while you "sneak" past. (Or just get a bunch of R50s to cut you a path.)

    Alternatively, hitch a ride to Camp Brittlebark and approach it from the other side - but then I'm not sure how mob distribution has changed there either. Could be worse.

    No, you're not alone. >_<

    Go to Mor Dhonna from Crimsonbark (Gridania) side. If the mobs there are unchanged (I doubt they change it, they were all high level mobs but slow butt Eft/Hellbender and a-like), you can sneak past that pretty easy. Going from that side also means that you will get straight to the quest side (If they dont change the location) in Mor Dhonna. It has always been that Mor Dhonna houses very high level mobs since the start of the game.

    The catch is, there is a single bottleneck with about 6-7 efts to get through at one point on the trip. The sort of squeeze that will drive a soloist NUTS!

    There are a couple of green raptor things added in now as well haha. I'll try the Brittlebark method I suppose, though that could be scarier. Maybe one or two more Crimsonbark tries (that's where I've been trying from) but naked this time. Threw away 50k in repairs because I forgot about this new system of losing extreme amounts of durability on death haha. Thanks for the replies!

    i remember when i did it, it was like hell!
    I became an expert @ dodging
    well, since there is a new damage system i suppose u should go with your undies to dodge penalty in case of death
    All you need is patience & you will be able to reach your target area, it gets easier when you reach mor doha

    I would have teleported you to one of the camps in there but unfortuntly, i play in a different server

    Well I finally did it! I either had just gotten very unlucky with their placement (efts move a centimeter every hour lol) or someone had trained a few to one spot and died on their way back. Northernmost path worked well though, once you get past a few areas. I still got agro here and there but since the mobs were 54 and birds I decided to just buff up with Protect/Shell/Stoneskin and put all my armor on, praying not to die lol.
