[ ] Complete mission #17, Elona Reach. If you’re having trouble winning, ignore the bonus and don’t let the timer stress you out; just keep progressing methodically and don’t panic. AoE damage (if Elementalist or Monk secondary), degeneration, and interruption builds are all good picks for this mission.
[ ] Augury Rock C Defeat your doppelganger and Ascend. If you’re having trouble with the fight, try specializing Illusion Magic. Bring Illusion of Weakness and Crippling Anguish, Conjure Phantasm, and Phantom Pain. The doppelganger will use Illusion of Weakness at the start of the fight, damaging itself.
