there no fallen major or mages down here how did you kill the ph?

Just this guy ugh.. took 13hours in all (2nd/4th was 4hours) killing PH

are you in room with strange apparatus?

and sorry to hear valmur but if it makes you feel better on my armageddon it popped 14 hour flat rate all kills

am down in basement where serket pops that not right area?

No he is now behind Banishing gate #2 J-8 in a small square room

they moved it to behind gate 2. use VW warp to garlaige, enter, go past gate 2 to the sparkly, trade flower, sneak up run all the way to the bottom right of the map. kindve T shape area. there is a ghost mob and either 2 majors and a mage or 2 mages aand a major. that group of fallen has the PH. i killed all 3 repeatedly til Hotpot would pop. took about 12-15 hours of camp time to get 4 kills. i also xp'd my npc fellow, since u get 11-15 exp from each mob. also behind one of the walls is the strange apparatus area so if u need to rest or heal npc fellows mp u will be safe there. GL.

I know I mention this every time this NM is mentioned, but my last kill for my dagger took 21 hours to pop :<

Ugh I don't even want to get started on Hovering hotpot, had to do him for dagger and gun for alt, never, ever, EVER want to do it again. I hope you have better luck than I did OP!

I really didn't have any issue with him when I built my Arma. Just chill in the SA room, sneak, pull the PH, set your timer.

I have a feeling that some of you were killing the wrong PH if it took you over 3-hours per pop.

9h, killing correct PH, for first pop. Rest were around 30-45 minutes after window up. The pop system inherently allows for high variance.

(Also, the people/posts who say it's a nightmare were probably the ones doing it while Garlaige had 16 minute repops. Assuming SE didn't have the sense to lower pop rate when they lowered repop time on PH, it would have taken three times as long back then.)

I must've gotten pretty lucky then. I did it back when it was 16-min repops and I think it took me about 10 hours total to do Hotpot. Still way longer than a trial like this should take, but 9H for one kill? Yikes.

Hotpot always popped 30mins after window opened for me now bugbear he was annoying took me 14 hours to get one of them to pop.

Currently working on this trial, killed the nm this morning at 10:30 est. and atm still has not re-popped >.>

Yeah that NM has put me off doing that path, being stuck with leader while everyone is afk (but claim active) & weak connection wasn't helpful D:
