Equipment

• Max AL.
• Runes for 55 setup. If you are unfamiliar with this term, information can be found here.
• Full radiant insignia's.
• Any martial weapon with +20% Enchantments mod and +5 energy inscription. Totem Axe would be perfect.
• A Smiting Prayers focus would be perfect, otherwise The Bison Cup fits aswell.

Usage

• Start off at Zos Shivros Channel. Make sure that you have the quest The Halcyon Job in your quest log.
• Enter Boreas Seabed.
• Upon entering, there are two ways to get there:
• Way 1: The easiest and the fastest, but leaves u with a DP. Make sure that you have more Kurzick Faction than Luxon faction. Run into the closest group of mobs and get yourself killed. You will resurrect at the Assassins. Cast your enchantments and wait for your energy to recharge.
• Way 2: Harder, requires some dodging, but no need to wait for energy to recharge. First cast your Maintained Enchantments. Run right past the ship. At the northernmost point of the ship, wait for the Naga's and Outcast to group so u can run past, between the two groups. Keep the mountains on ur right hand and stay close to them or you might pop some Oni's. Should you aggro them, just outrun them. Walk past the gap between the two mountains and past the lonely Kraken Spawn, up the hill, to the shrine.
• Once you have arrived at the shrine, walk over the bridge. This will spawn 4 Luxon Assassins.
• Cast PS, SH and IAU as soon as the Assassins have reached you, and move on to the Canthan Noble that stands a bit Northeast.
• By then you will have popped 12-16 Assassins.
• Pull them up one of the stairs, and when u stand at the top, pop ur miniature.
• Wait until your SoA has almost ran out, and cast SH and RoJ.
• Recast RoJ to finish the most, and a third time to kill the little scatter.
• Pop the last Assassins which will pop when you walk between the two houses in the middle, at the Southeasternmost Noble and at the Noble standing before the boss.
• Repeat.

Counters

• Miniature wandering off, causing you to get KDed. Can be avoided by regularly picking up and repopping miniature.
