Magus Mu'Drakhan Question

Small question, kinda barely worth to be a question at all...but imma ask it anyway . Anyway, my Bane Spider is great at soloing, so I barely team and use inspirations to take down Arch-Villains/Heroes (at EB rank that is ). However, Paragon Wiki says that on the last mission of Magus Mu'Drakhan's arc that their are 2 AVs, Lilitu and Infernal. My problem is that it's not that far away, so are both Lilitu and Infernal required to finish the mission? Or just Lilitu who I know you must take down.

i haven't done that arc myself, but according to this page in the Paragon Wiki it sounds like you can simply avoid or outrun Infernal after defeating Lilitu. You don't have to defeat him to complete the mission.

It's a requirement of one of the earlier missions that you defeat him then.

Works for me, question answered, thread as pointless and quickly answered as I thought...which is a good thing . Thank you.

Just as a warning: There's a small bug in the NPC AI code that makes Infernal (and a few others) act in a strange way.

The non-Praetorian version of Infernal summons demons Himself, rather than having a portal that does it. These demons are on a long timer and automatically despawn something like 8 minutes after they are summoned. NPCs that summon pets aggro on you if you kill one of their pets, even if they aren't currently aggroed. When a demon despawns, if you had dealt even one point of damage to it, it generates the message "You have defeated Demon", even if you aren't close enough to see the message. This means that when the demons despawn, he probably aggros on you.

I've heard stories of people fighting Infernal, dying, going to the hospital, skipping Infernal, and then (because of what I mentioned above) he aggros while you're halfway across the map from him, and he doesn't catch up until you're in the middle of fighting a different group, or worse - Lilitu.

Moral of the story: If you don't want to fight Infernal, don't throw even one punch at him. He will hunt you down and kill you if you don't finish the job.

On the other side of the argument, this version of Infernal is part of the <Vindicators> faction, and so are all the pets he summons. That means that every one of them you kill gets you credit towards Hero Slayer, which is part of one of the villain accolades. If you can survive a prolonged fight with him, you can finish off your badge by sparring with him until he summons enough demons.

On the plus side, Hero Slayer no longer requires the huge amounts of heroes, so this isn't needed to quickly get the badge

I thought it was 25 or 50 - not a ton, but a lot quicker farming Infernal demons that farming mayhems. For me at least.

I'm not saying that's the "right" way to do the mission or get the badge. Just pointing out one possible way of doing it.

EDIT: 25, down from a previous requirement of 100.

Sorry, meant to throw an "as" in there - it is not "as" needed to get the badge quickly.

I can see getting 25 heroes while going after the other badges.

100 heroes? That is another story.
