Guide - Aten Ha Ra - ToL Mission

I don't have anything fancy for scripting, but I simply park my healer against a wall, pretty much tank/dps in the middle, and only move to the hole for the purple golems... makes the entire fight a joke, in my humble opinion. You literally can eat every single silence between the group and the healer apart from one another...



Just my two red:rcents.

[HINT: 🐻 You too can help prevent forum fires by also "red:rcenting" (click the :rc icon to the right ---->)
 
I moved at the beginning, once I was geared, stopped moving. I did on a few occasions, do all of the achieves in one run.

Use LEM to handle the events, all of the examples are there for both Chanter and Bard.

I stole the script from @wmh and adjusted it for a bard on KA. This is what's working for me (again adjust your twist command to be the spell gem your mez is on).

[CODE lang="lua" title="aten.lua"]local mq = require("mq")

while mq.TLO.Task('Aten Ha Ra')()
do
if mq.TLO.SpawnCount("a smirking guardian npc zradius 75")() > 0 then
mq.cmd("/mqp on")
mq.cmd("/twist 8")

while mq.TLO.SpawnCount("a smirking guardian npc zradius 75")() > 0 do
mq.cmd("/tar a smirking guardian npc zradius 75")
end

mq.cmd("/mqp off")
mq.cmd("/chaseon")
end

mq.delay(10)
end[/CODE]
I ran this and LEM on the bard today. It wasn't a pretty fight and wasn't confident I was going to get "Calm the Stones" but it worked. I ignored the Silence. Just need Unstomped for my bard and that's a wrap for missions

I probably need to learn how to do this for future missions. For silence all I did was make socials that are "hardcoded"
/dex name /end (end KA)
/dex name /nav locyx 0, 1130 (zone in)
press come to me button 10s later
/mac kissassist ...

Whenever I'm trying to do Unstomped I feel like you can really get screwed by RNG if you run away from your group for silence then have golems pop on you. It's happened more times than I'd like to admit. Easiest solution was to be beefy enough to eat the silences and then just have the entire party follow with the "Follow Me" button in group window
 
Slow and lazy bards no more for Shei Vinitras

Dunno who originally wrote it, but it was for mezzing gargs in Rotten Ha Ra.. just changed it to mez the aliens in Shei Vinitras

Code:
    while true do
        local mobcount = mq.TLO
                             .SpawnCount("datiar xi tavuelim npc zradius 100")()
        if mobcount > 0 then
            if not mq.TLO.Macro.Paused() then
                mq.cmd("/mqp on")
                mq.cmd("/stopsong")
                mq.cmd("/stopcast")
            end
            if mq.TLO.Target.ID() ~= mq.TLO.Spawn("datiar xi tavuelim").ID() then
                -- we need to delay before we try and do anything, they appear to not insta disappear if we insta mez them
                mq.delay(500)
                mq.cmd("/tar datiar xi tavuelim npc zradius 100")
                mq.delay(500)
            end
            if mobcount >= 1 then
                mq.cmd("/twist 8")
                mq.delay(3000)
            end
        end
        if mq.TLO.Macro.Paused() and mobcount < 1 then
            mq.cmd("/mqp off")
        end
        mq.delay(1)
    end

Don't want to move a healer ever.. park them at the door on the other side

This will keep the door opening for heals..

Code:
while true do
    if mq.TLO.SwitchTarget(82).State() == nil then
        mq.cmd('/squelch /doortarget id 82')
        mq.delay(300)
    end
    if mq.TLO.SwitchTarget(82).State() == 0 then
        mq.cmd('/squelch /click left door')
        mq.delay(300)
    end
mq.delay(1)
end
 
Not trying to necro an old post but it seems I am late to the party on this one since the last post was Nov 2022. Does anyone put this mission on farm or just complete it and put it in the rearview? As embarrassing as it is to say, I have yet to 6 box this one to completion. I used the enc Lua for gargoyles and the mq2events and it seems I end up dying each time the goo's spawn. SK tank gets called out and runs and the wipe occurs. Is this one worth mastering to put on farm or just get the completion with some that have mastered it and then move on?

Side note, might try disabling the event and the Lua and just get the win without the mechanics or achievements. Just not sure it's worth it LOL.
 
its easy if your just looking for the win. Keep burns off, kill first 2 (pause and run if needed from emote). get on main boss, spank it a little, will get a silence, then a add. once silence drops, hit burns, toast the add, get on voss, forcing her to despawn. goos pop, DONT use auto tank function, will pull both to close. I pause plugins, and stand at the edge of one of the goos, beat it down, then can go back to auto tanking to kill last one. it dies, go back to boss, dancing through golem gaps if needed. open chest, get the $$$

You, as the tank, stand in between the goos, they don't touch other. Burn is already going so the 1st goo dies in seconds, then finish the 2nd off. Auto-tanking works just fine.
 
So we got it down to one event. Thanks to Kaen, Hytiek, and Sic for this they all deserve credit for putting in work on it. This is still a WIP there could be some optimizing down the line.
Code:
[AtenRun]
trigger=#*#Aten Ha Ra points at #1# with one arm#*#
command=/docommand ${If[${EventArg1.Equal[${Me}]} && !${Group.Member[0].MainAssist},/multiline ; /docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName} mode 0; /mqp on; /twist off; /timed 5 /afollow off; /nav stop; /target clear; /timed 10 /nav locxyz 1186.12 0.932035 235.003; /timed 150 /docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName} mode 2; /timed 150 /mqp off; /timed 150 /twist on,/docommand ${If[${EventArg1.Equal[${Group.MainAssist}]} && !${Group.Member[0].MainAssist},/multiline ; /docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName} mode 0; /mqp on; /twist off; /timed 5 /afollow off; /nav stop; /target clear; /timed 10 /nav locxyz 1186.12 0.932035 235.003; /timed 150 /docommand /${Me.Class.ShortName} mode 2; /timed 150 /mqp off; /timed 150 /twist on,/echo BAD]}]}
This has to be in the events for all of your boxed toons in the mission including the tank, I've made an assumption here that people are using CTWN plugins for healers, so if your using a macro for yours I'd suggest doing some modifications. We have an iterated event coming up soon that might solve this.
I copied and pasted this for a Lua script. When I run it I get the following error message: Any help is appreciated.

I tried using the lua from wmh for the Calm the Stones achievement, but it didn't work for me (only ever got 1 or 2). I used this hotkey instead and it worked perfectly the first time:

Cmd1=/bct BARDNAME //mqp on
Cmd2=/timed 5 /bct BARDNAME //tar ${NearestSpawn[a smirking guardian zradius 50]}
Cmd3=/timed 10 /bct BARDNAME //twist 8
Cmd4=/timed 50 /bct BARDNAME //mqp off
Label=Mez

Gem 8 is single target mez. Just spam that every 5-10 seconds after the gargoyles become active.
Hello, most of this macro works, but I get the error: DoCommand - Couldn't parse '/twist 8'

Gem 8 is the target mez spell. My bard targets the mob, but doesn't cast the mez spell. Thank you.

Couldn't parse means the command isn't recognized, ergo, you likely do not have MQ2Twist loaded.

Edit: You really shouldn't need this to use a single bard gem, you could edit this button to use the song directly as needed
 
May also need to add a /twist off in there as the bard could me mid song when the guardian spawns
