Talk:Royal Painter Escort

Short blurb here because a recent run revealed some behaviour to me.

My previous strategy was to have a minimal force protecting the NPC while another force goes and bum-rushes the Black Bartholemew boss. However, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Basically if you stay by the NPC the whole time and protect her then you will eventually get her into the hold and finish her painting. There are a finite amount of "waves" of mobs that will appear, you just have to weather them. We got the NPC down into the hold, she finished her painting, all while Bart and a RDM Marine bodyguard were standing at the top of the stairs to the captain's quarters. As soon as the NPC finished her painting, the RDM and Black Bart started coming down to attack the NPC. If those two are the only fomor left on the boat, then you need to kite the RDM around while the boss is killed. The reason for this is that the assault will end when all of the crew are killed, and the boss doesn't count as crew, however defeating the boss will give a treasure chest AND eliminate all crew still onboard.

Hopefully this makes some sense to someone else. I'm just posting here so that people know the mob AI. --FnDragon 13:46, 14 September 2007 (CDT)
