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).
  • The best way to complete the objectives 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.
  • A Stagdella and Hirudinid must be killed within about 3 seconds of one another to count as kill credits (2 kill credits will be granted after each pair is successfully defeated).
  • Tip: Gathering them all together an kill them all with one single AOE counts for Goal 3
