Question abouut lvl 39 glad quest

Player Questions Started Last reply 13 posts
I know its a typical question, but im about to explode with this quest Trial Of the Duelist. Duelist Kash wants me to kill some mobs on each city to prove my strength, but i cant find one of them, the Noble Ant Leader. I know they are mainly on the ant nest, deep inside close to the queen chamber, but i cant enter here alone at 39 with D equip. Some forums says that there are 2 Noble Ant Leader at loc:-23010, 182750, but i cant find them, only Wild Desperados and Ant Soldiers.

¿Anyone knows where i can find them without entering Ant Nest or another mob that gives the quest items? Thanks a lot.
I did this for my Swordsinger. You have to find some friends to help because although there used to be a couple of Noble Ant Leaders outside the nest, there aren't any longer and that is the only mob that I found that gave the parts.
Thanks a lot man.. this is going to me my personal massacre, but ill try to enter in the Ant Nest.
There is one area I never found a way around, where you have to pass through a ton of agro mobs with very fast respawn. If your only choice is solo, hope someone else is killing in there.

It's really tough.
I did it on my own at 40 inside the ant nest. Just use heal pots, find one and keep killing it every time it respawns. Besides the only aggros in there are the leaders, and those captains. If they aggro you, pull them to a safe spot and kill em. It took a while but I got it done. Now the kratos and portas are a different story. I died once but I still got it :D.

It is tough but doable solo without buffs. Just be very, very careful about your pulls.

If you are refering to the ant guards, thats a big no no for me and a lot of people. Even though some noble ants are in that room, those guard ants never die. They keep porting back to their spawn point, heal and come back at you non stop, more and more each time :D. Fun times. I had to run from them, but the good thing is they dont chase you.

I've never encountered those... :eek:
Did you guys do this since C4? They changed the mobs in the Ant Nest some. I just did this not long ago and my hat's off to anyone who can solo this at level 39 with D grade equipment.

It wasn't the Nobles that were the problem. It was getting to them. Now maybe there is a way you don't have to run through that center room with all the Agros.

Nope... there is a center room with about a dozen or more mobs, half of which are agro and the rest are social.

Well, I did this not too long ago for my SR. Not these mobs specifically but I did get to where the nobles are with no problem.

Did the glad thing twice now. First time was on C3 PTS and had C gear (was over 40). Second time was on Hindemith and did it with D gear unbuffed. But then, I rock.

Did it last night. I use the /target command to find em easier, and it just happens one of them leaded me to the center room where the queen is. I never got to that targeted ant :D. Instead I ran back to a safe spot and waited for a noble to respawn.

And I was in D grade brig with a freekin glaive :(. I couldnt find mammon to trade. No buffs. They ran out by the time I got there from gludio. And like I said, just go slowly through all the regular ants and pull the aggro ones to the side, most are not aggro but they are sociable. You attack one, they all gang you.

If you buff in Gludio, you should Gatekeep to 'Windawood Manor.' It puts you directly north of the North Entrance to the Ants Nest. If you look south, you are looking right down the throat of the entrance. The basilisks are the only aggro you should find on the way to the entrance.

In C2 (and C3?) there were two Noble Ant Leaders that could be found on the surface, but it was a glich. When I killed them, they sometimes spawned underground where they should have been. I could still hear them from the surface, and /target them too. This seems to have been fixed, and I have never seen them in C4 on the surface.
