Even after doing it a ton different ways, I prefer the waypoint method to standing at the special "Edge-Of-Rug" spot in the back room. Glad you were able to work through it.

Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋 -
We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.Read more
a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over/ooc,/shoutor other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.
Why Does RG Review Scripts?
Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering,/targetover impossible distances when/nav spawnwould passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.
You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting/lua run

I've moved on from needing to do this, but once you've done the waypoint method successfully once, its really trivial to do it again.Did this for the first time last week with the waypoint method. Thanks for the video and the strats! I am 1 for 1 on this and do not intend to ever do it again.
Somehow I got all 3 achievements too...
Studied @Sic 's vid and took notes.
Ran thru my A-Team and failed once then beat it the second time. Lost only due to not moving fast enough once.
War, Shm, Clr, Ber, Ber, Brd -- Easily got all 3 achievements too!
Proceeded to beat my head against it with my last 3 toons (Shd, Mag, Enc) plus 2x Healer Mercs & 1x Melee DPS Merc.
Three attempts within 2.5hrs I had two wipes and last one all three mercs died so Drunkard's Stein out of there, Fellowship back again for buffs.
I learned a lot during the 2.5hrs and the first time in with this set I got the Boss down to 50% before adds took me out.
My adjusted method from what Sic showed in the video is if the Orbs pop on the Short side, after I move I watch for them to despawn and target self and run back to my triangle by the Speakers. This way I never get hit by the Long hallway Orbs.
In the future I will split up my healers and zerkers to run two groups through.
Thank you Sic!

P.S. This is the first mission I have attempted since I beat all of CoV. It helps to have this win to jump back into it with the new GPU to make it work!

What is your crew makeup?
Raid Gear / Mix of Raid and Chase or?
A bunch of the npcs are humanoid and I have rogues. I think most comps could do this though, maybe need to pop glyphs, keep all toons on chase, manually drive tank, easy as cake.

Ranger Tank
I was able to do it with my Main group right when TOL came out. SHD/SHM/CLR/RNG/BST/BRD.
I havent tried this mission since new exp and lvl 125 came out. I believe it will be a blood bath easy however. The slience sucks but if you do a burst DPS shouldnt be a problem
There's Silence?...
Didn't notice at all.

Sic,
I recently did this mission with a new crew and I really, really appreciated your video. It simplified this so much. Your videos are often the best for missions, because you have a knack of cutting through the crap and simplifying the process down so I can understand it.
Thanks again for your work.
hey man i appreciate the kind words.
the state of eq and such has me in a bit of a sad spot atm, so that was a really nice and unexpected message, appreciate it
