Enemies

Level Name Aggro Link Drops Steal Spawns
95 Stagdella True Sound Yes None 20
95 Hirudinid True Sound Yes None 20


Walkthrough

  • The Stagdella are all located on the starting map, and the Hirudinid are all located on the second map (there are two connections between the maps on the north side at (G-7) and (G-8) - see the composite guide map).
    • A Stagdella and a Hirudinid must be killed within about 3 seconds of one another to count for credit for the objectives.
    • 2 kill credits will be granted after each pair is successfully defeated.


Note

  • The best way to complete the objectives at level 99 is to send a small group in each direction and coordinate the timing of kills with party chat. Since many of the leeches are quite far from the starting point, repeatedly pulling them together will take too long to complete the goals within the time limit.
  • The best way to complete the objectives at item level (even solo) is to gather all the Stagdella and take them over to the Hirudinid, then AoE the entire pack down simultaneously. (This works.)
