[1.2.252] Nihal PQ (NPQ)

Mazefind has a video of the PQ, although it appears that you can do it alone.

From the looks of it, the way this is designed, mobbing skills are a must here. Assassins get screwed over hard.

I wonder what's in those bonus stage boxes...

EDIT: And I just noticed that Mazefind is Level 61 and doing the PQ. Is this a test server thing, or is there something about the supposed Level 40-60 limit that I don't know about?

A few important things to note:

0) The mini egyptian Yeti can only be killed via use of the new skill.

1) At the top left we see a pyramid symbol with a x5, meaning he has five uses of the pyramid skill.

2) The pyramid skill does 1 damage and never misses. Since all mobs have only 1 HP, it's an insta-map clear.

3) Deaths via pyramid skill do not count towards kill counter.

4) After examining the video further, I viewed 500+ kills and the counter for the pyramid at the top right did not go up at all. There does not appear to be a way to gain more uses, as evident in that video. However, there is the possibility that there is a way to gain more uses within the PQ (without starting over of course) that just wasn't displayed in the video.

5) The act bar at the top (colored red->yellow->green) goes down whether or not the guy was killing. It went down while he was killing monsters and while he attacked, thus the bar drains over time. This is more obvious at 3:00 when he starts the new act.

6) The bar fills back up per kill, unable to determine if "cool" kills fill bar more since he kills things too quickly for the bar to drain much.

7) The thing where someone mentioned he missed against the pyramid enemies first and THEN used the skill. Don't pay too much attention to that. The pyramid skill adds to the combo counter. He was just waiting until monsters spawned before using it. And accidentally swung at one.

8) Later (3:50ish), another yeti spawns. Since he is now low on the skill usage, he is waiting until a more opportune moment to use the skill.

9) at (5:21) he does a single hit of 11k. It does not trigger a "cool" kill. Yet an earlier hit of ~7k does. Unable to fully determine what constitutes a "cool" kill.



That's all for now
