DM Tribute Run Tips (1/3)

A few people have asked me to post my DM tribute run strategy and I've finally decided to comply.

For those who don't know the DM Tribute run, you basically go to DM North and avoid killing all the bosses. Yes, that's what I just said. The aim is to get all the bosses to add to your tribute total when you become the DM king. Yes, it's good to be king! The more bosses that remain alive when you become king, the more the loot.

First off, before you do your tribute run, prepare all the necessary items. This means getting all the materials to create an ogre suit (look up thottbot.com for the details) and also having 1 frost oil and 1 thorium widget. The ogre suit is to allow you to get pass Guard Kromkrush and the frost oil and thorium widget are to fix a trap to freeze Guard Slip'kik.

Directions:
Once you enter the instance Clear 2 patrols of ogres and dogs. You might have to wait a while but it's worth it.
From there, turn right and start clearing all the mobs starting with the ogres around the corner and the plants (hope you have AOEs).
After that, you'll get to an area where you see 2 ogres at the foot of a ramp and a drunk ogre to the right. Leave the drunk ogre and kill the two at the bottom of the ramp.
After that, stay at the bottom of the ramp and kill 2 passing patrols of ogres and dogs.
From there, take a right and fight your way till you're at the southeast corner of the square.
Here's where many people mess up: You need to stay in the sioutheast corner until the path is clear. If you don't, chances are, Guard Fengus will see you and you'll have to wipe.
While in the northeast corner, there will be 2 groups of mobs. They're just an ogre with a few dogs. Wait for the Guard to pass and then pull both groups, 1 at a time. Then run all the way to the northernmost point which will be a ramp leading down.

Once you're down there, watch our for roaming eyes! I can't emphasize this enough. Always have a caster with an instant damage spell on the lookout to immediately blast them. If you don't, the eyes summon elite voidwalkers which can take out a party.
