Things you should remember:
-Always check all monster groups when in a safe spot.
-Regenerate your Health and Energy frequently.
-Use Balanced Stance when you need to pass Siege Ice Golems.
-Best way to get Wurms off is to only run forward.
-If you want to strafe, hold on your mouse's 2nd button and use A or D or just use Q or E.
-Numbers (1,2,3,4,...) means which rest spot is near.
-You can dodge ranged attacks and Water Tridents, use Q and E buttons to dodge.
-If you have any questions just whisper me in game. My name is Wethospu Braveheart.


1. Start (Lornar's Pass)

Enemies: 0-1 groups of Avicara ( Ardents, Braves, Fierces and Guiles), 1-2 Ice Imps and 1-2 Pinesouls and maybe some Ice Imp groups.
Cast Holy Veil. Use Sprint and run through Pinesouls (X) and Imps. Remove bad Hexes and avoid traps. (1)
When you are in a safe spot, remove Holy Veil if you have it. Cast Mending. (2)

2. Before tunnel

Enemies: 1-2 groups of Ice Imps, few Wurms and 1 Ice Imps+ Pinesoul group (=Pinesoul group).
Avoid Ice Imp groups. If it isn't possible, cast Holy Veil. Remove bad Hexes.
*Note: If you can choose, choose th4 Pinesoul group (X) instead of the Ice Imp Group.
Use Sprint if you have full Energy. Wait opposite of the Pinesoul group (X) until the Ice Imp group passes you. (1)
Run to the tunnel and use Balanced Stance if more than 2 Wurms are attacking you or if Avicaras are front of you.
*Note: You don't need Balanced Stance if only 1 Wurm attacks you outside of tunnel.
*Note: Mending keeps you healthy against 1-2 Wurms. Remember to move when they knock you down.
