Hunt Guide?

I've been goofing around with a lvl 50 toon and want to go back and get some of the defeat badges. You know, tolls, outcasts, titan, warriors, etc. I pretty much know where to go to get these, but was wondering if anyone knew of a hunt guide on the forums? What with all the badgers out there, I was hoping to find one. Perhaps my search-fu is weak. Anyway, any direction would be helpful. Thanks.

Troll bosses: Skyway City
Gearsmasher: Do the Synapse TF and you'll have it in no time
Lost bosses: do laps around Perez Park (inside the walls of the park), or else hit Terra Volta.
Skulls/Hellions: Perez.
Paragon Protectors: Eden.
Fake Nems/Overseers: Shadow Shard, try Point Sierra.
CoT mages: the Hollows near Skyway's entrance.
Igneous bosses: turn on your AoE spam and hit the middle of the Hollows.
Malta Titans: set Crimson's arc on difficult and away you go (otherwise, the RWZ and Peregrine Island)
Carnie Illusionists: Peregrine Island
Rikti Monkeys: the RWZ or Crey's Folly
Freak Tanks: Terra Volta
Sky Raider Skiffs: Striga or Terra Volta
Council War Wolves: Striga (Bonny Morass)
Council Vampyri: same area, at night
Warrior Elites: Striga, especially their radio tower
Family bosses: usually fighting the Warriors!

That oughta get you started.

How about Tsoo Sorcerers? They're in Steel Canyon north but there's very few actual spawn points. Any better location? Or a Flashback mish?

I usually hunt Tsoo Socerers in Talos. They hang out in droves near the Natural and Science stores.

Thanks for the help. I'll update my notes. This may grow into a simple guide or some tinkering over on Paragonwiki so that all my find it easily.

Couple others I forgot:

BP masks - Talos Island (Argo Highway area), Bloody Bay and Dark Astoria
Shivans - Bloody Bay
Toxic Tarantulas - Warburg/RWZ/Siren's Call
better place for Gears - Boomtown
DE emanators - Eden
Prisoners - Brickstown
better place for Rikti Monkeys - Monkey Island

Slight correction. Those in Warburg are Rogue Arachnos, which is a seperate enemy group from Arachnos. They do not count towards badge credit.

I don't remember ever seeing Clockwork Princes [bosses] in Boomtown.

I also see that Vidiot's map of Boomtown mentions Lost bosses, which don't spawn there either.

Fly WAAAAAAAAY north up by where Babbage occasionally spawns. Following the northern wall, I find several.

are you gonna be doing this strictly heroside or going rogue/vigilante for access to the other side? some defeat badges are much easier to get redside ssuch as arachno and toxic tarantulas

Also Terra Volta. I know I got my DE Emanator badge there. I was also hunting something else--Sky Raiders? Lost?-- at the same time, so there a couple of badges that can be done at once with planning.

After my first post I went looking on Victory (yes, north wall for CW) using /targetcustomnext Prince [and Aberrant and then tried Caliban, Ogre, and Lead.]
Found none of the above.

Went to Virtue just now to see if it was related to server population. Found a Caliban, but no Princes or Aberrants.
So, if they do spawn, it isn't a great place for hunting.
(Edit to clarify: I mean not good for Princes [for gears], and Lost bosses. The Outcast and Troll bosses are found around map center in Boomtown )

Note that the Talos masks only spawn if you go there at night. If you go there during the day, you may find some left over from someone else going by at night, but once you defeat them, no more will spawn until the next night.

talos near the magic/natural store and a bit north of that, can do laps around to find them.

talos north of zone in to dark astoria, de there of lowish level, just aggro so they drop emanators and go to town.

In all cases being in a group of 4+ makes more foes spawn in these areas and makes your hunt/kill tasks far easier.


Carnie Illusionists are easy to find in many L45+ tip missions. Easy to farm them solo that way. Just set yourself to -1 and dont kill the master illusionist.

I've been running my 50 scrapper to get as many CoV badges as I can before returning to Hero status.
I have a progress bar for 3 0f 100 Cold Demons on Thorn Isle. I've running around Thorn Isle hitting Succubuses for CoT badge but haven't seen any cold demons (Hellfrosts?)
Any help?

Troll Tunnels are better for Trolls.
CoT Mages... Anywhere. They spawn most levels, there is always another CoT mission around. The Demon farms also count...
Family and Warrios bosses, I'd go Striga.
Shivans, red side Echo Through the Aeons arc, Bloody Bay, or the Intro to Ouroborus arcs.
Toxic Tarantulas, Statesmen Task Force, Khan Task Force.
DE emanators, the outside east wall of Terra Volta
Monkeys, on top of the buildings in Crey's Folly, LGTF, or any Rikti arc.
BP masks only spawn during game night. Bring 3+ friends to have more spawn.
Tsoo Sorcerers, I hunt around Spanky's Boardwalk.

Also people might want to look at the following guide:
Hunt Target Macros/Binds

Badge text error. Kill hordelings (various ranks, Cap au Diable) and hellfrosts (bosses, Sharkhead) for that badge.

Spawn rates are tied to population, but just for the number of players in the zone (or neighborhood), not on the server in general. So if you have 100 players in Pocket D, that won't affect the spawns in Boomtown one bit.

While the VidiotMaps do indicate what hunting badges are possible, they don't necessarily give an indication of the ease to do so. A better solution is to view the Wiki page for each defeat badge you're trying to earn. There you'll find a chart with zones and neighborhoods where the enemies will spawn, with bolded entries being the preferred areas for hunting.

For example:

Finder
Gearsmasher


Blondeshell (1381 badges) - My other badge hunters
VidiotMaps Master Cartographer
MArc #87989 - Enter, The Conglomerate
Invention Salvage Distribution Charts

If you don't have a problem with venturing into PvP zones Warrior Elites spawn all over the place in Siren's Call. There is a slight downside in that they are always going to be at least yellow. (so no easy kills on gray bosses in there). On the plus side, you'll get credit toward the Siren's Call time badges, and get cash and the occasional drop. (remember, bosses have a small chance to drop Pool C recipes if they are a high enough level to give yuo a reward)

Yeah, Cold Demons are rare on Thron Isle, and depsite what the badge text imiplies, it's not necessary to make the kills in that location. For this badge, I always go to the south west corner of Sharkhead and run up and down the beach below the graveyard. Almost always run into a Hellfrost or two or three each pass. Hordelings in Cap also count.

There's a major downside in that your defensive powers are nowhere near as strong as you'd expect.

If you're a hero or vigilante, the best place for BP masks is in one of Unai Kemen's missions. If you're planning ahead, you can grab the Banished Pantheon Earth mission at level 45, and then ignore it until you hit 50. Then, set it to x8 and go nuts on a bunch of grey bosses. If you don't pick up the mission until 50 (or do it by flashback), setting yourself to -1 will make the enemies a bit weaker. You'll have to set your difficulty at x3-4 minimum to get masks to start spawning. Remember that you can set yourself to "Bosses downgrade to Lts when solo", and they will still count for the badge.

If you have redside access, the Mortimer Kal Strike Force is a great place for badges. You can get Succubi for Weed Whacker and Mages by the boatload, and if you run it on a lower level team (20-25, IIRC), you'll get Hellfrosts and Hordelings too. The mission where you go talk to Oddyseus involves a fight against a number of Warriors (all bosses), and in the mission where you fight Oddyseus, there are several more bosses in the ambushes. Numina counts towards Hero Slayer (but ONLY if you kill her - using the Soul Catcher temp doesn't count), as does Infernal. I haven't tested to see if his summoned demons count as Heroes (previous versions are inconsistant as to whether or not the pets count). I'm pretty sure at least one of Montague, Mercedes and Exorcist counts as a Hero as well, but I haven't tested. Positron counts for Hero slayer as well.
