What is the best way to do group map for MOST pearls?

In which order we have to hit npcs there and how to sink whale hunters

Ahoy,

I have moved this thread to the New Pirate Tutorials section of the forum as if you are looking for strategies, the best or easiest way to complete this map, then your fellow players are the people to ask.

I can only give you the information we have in the Event FAQ:

“Nidhugsheim” group game (A Whale of Time):

Once you have collected enough ancient emblems you are able to access the “Nidhugsheim” group map from the Safe Haven by speaking to Magnus Halbert.

After you choose the role you want to play (“Damage Dealer”, “Healer” and Tank”) and the team is full you are teleported to the group map where you face the two bosses “Nidhug” and “Hildisvini”.

Each boss has two phases.

During phase 1 both bosses apply de-buffs (“Nidhug” applies a different de-buff than “Hildisvini”) on the player with the highest “Aggro” (tank). Each application increases the de-buff stack by one, that means the effect gets applied multiple times. Each de-buff stack prolongs the duration so the tanks should regularly switch bosses so the individual de-buffs don’t stack too high. Meanwhile the damage dealers should inflict damage (in the best case equally) to push both bosses into phase 2.

During both phases, the healer should heal the tanks.

The 2nd phase of each boss will start when they reach a certain amount of HP. During the 2nd phase Whale “Nidhug” submerge and whale hunters try to steal your loot by attacking the Whale. After the whale dies in this phase, he switches back to phase 1 again and your whole group is rewarded.

The group damage share treats the group as an own entity and share the loot equally in this group. Be sure to be in a group!

When “Hildisvini” switches into the second phase, he spawns “Freyja” minions which attack the whale hunters spawned by “Nidhug” and hereby save your loot. If there are none of them left, the “Freyja minions” de-spawn after a certain time (be aware when you bring which boss in phase 2!). As soon as any of the bosses dies (“Nidhug” or “Hildisvini”) the other one gets enraged. The boss who’s left spawns a zone underneath him which makes him stronger.

The players who do the last shot and most damage on Whale “Nidhug” have a chance to receive the whale pet (Pyke).

If both bosses are dead, all players are teleported back to the regular map again. If you don´t manage to kill both bosses your time is not shown up in the ranking.

Thanks.
So far i figured this much out myself if anyone has anything to add feel free to do so it will be much appreciated.
Here are some tips that u MUST follow for group maps and understand how they work. Nidhugsheim group map work as follows. You have to shoot the WHALE(NIDHUG) first few shots then switch to PIG(Hildisvini). The correct time to switch is when whale hunters are just coming .. You shoot the PIG untill it spawn Frezya and stop shooting it and go back to hitting whale.Frezya will kill whale hunters and you will get more pearls from whale. As soon as frezya de-spawns go again after pig and shoot until more Frezya spawns and go back to hitting whale again, keep repeating the process until the whale dies. If you normally kill the WHALE first completely and then PIG you will get anbout 10k(end reward ) + ~4k to 5k prls. But if you follow what i did i was able to get 10k + 14k(from whale) that too with 80% co-operation if we had played better we would have got lots more. The pearls are equally divided so if u get 7k other players also get 7k pearls from whale.

The preferable setup should be 3 ATTACKERS and 2 TANK. Having 2 TANK is must as PIG applies a debuff which does not allow tank to shoot for sometime so they need to switch places. Attackers should only attack after tanks. TANKS should have guardian +dodge/dmg prevention gems on ship and pets and AGILITY trainer if possible.Tanks will hit less but doing damage is not their job. With my setup i can pretty much complete the map if i have one more tank by healing ONLY once.
