 So today guys, I'm going to guide you into how to solo the Merc Guard Elite Chests, meaning you can come here any time of the day, obviously it's once over 24 hours, and come up to Merc Guard, solo, and get 6, 7, possibly 8 Elite Chests. How's it going guys? My name's DPJ and to give it back to you guys, I'm giving away 10,000 marks of fortune.

When this will be picked from my comments section, so the more of my videos you support me on, the more of a chance you have of all winning. Okay so most people know of the Merc Guard Chests run, the Elite Chests run, but I think there's a possible 6, 7, 8, I'm not sure exactly how many is here, but there's a few, and obviously Elite Chests drop that geeeeeeach, is what we all want, and today, for the solo players out there, or if you're just online solo, nobody else is making the run, doing the Merc Guard run, you can come here solo and get every single chest, and it's relatively quite straightforward, I mean there's a couple of tricky jumping spots, but besides that, it's straightforward. So obviously guys, you need to make your way to Merc Guard, as you can see on the screen now. So yes, come right here, a mountain or map post, or you've got the old Merc Guard shrine here, and this is how all the area will be exploring together those Elite Chests. But yeah, it's relatively straightforward, like I said, there's one thing I need you to do, and that is to be using a fire staff, which is very, very important also, and I'll explain one in a second, but first of all, obviously you want to drop a campfire, down here activate one of these campfires as your spawn point, because obviously if you die, you want to respawn relatively close to where the Elite Chests are, but you need the fire chest, fire staff, and you need to be using burnout. Now this is obviously that dashboard, and it's very important when we're skipping rooftops. I think the great acts would probably work as well, also the rapier, when you slash forward, can't remember what it's called off the top of my head, but once you're here, and you've got your fire staff ready with that burnout on, this is what you need to do. So come up this way. Now this is a video I've pre-recorded and edited to cut out the mistakes I've made, I've made quite a few mistakes trying to record this, dropping, failing, and died a couple times, but once I got to run straight down, it was perfectly fine. So come up to here, you want to edge your left, right to the end, then you want to aim for this point, right here. So jump onto that, and then just basically jump over. You aim for that pillow, or that plank right here. So yes, just walk straight to the edge, and then you want to turn right here, and just jump down here. Now like I said, this is actually probably the trickiest one at the entire set here. Now what I will say is you won't be able to get the portal chest here, obviously you can't solo those portals, I mean obviously we could but it's impossible now, especially I had made things harder, but if a team has run this, well just before you got here, the good chance this chest will be here for you to grab. So obviously you can't get the portal chest, and because of this, the very very last chest here, where the priest is I believe, you can't get that chest either. So this is what you want to do, the chest is literally on the other side of these things. Now obviously you want to grab the attention to grow these two enemies right here. The main guy with the sword is the one you want to worry about. Now once he starts swinging that sword, he does have actually like a cooldown to him. So when he starts pointing like that, that's when his cooldown starts, that's when you want to quickly run and grab the elite chest. Now this is actually made the mistake, I left it a little too late before he pointed. When he points, as soon as he points, you need to run grab the chest and the jump down. So you saw that little slight cut there, that's where I failed. Now if you fail jumping onto the roof, just quickly run through here and run straight out. That's what you're going to do anyway, you're going to run straight back out. Now if you can grab the elite chest and jump back up to the way you come from, because that's the way we're going to head again right now, that's much much easier, but it's probably just as easy to jump down here, not risk your life and just fly past this big old dirty yoga dude, and just run back to the same spot, you just went to. So yeah, like I said, a lot of the big guys that we will be interacting with in this video to try and get these elite chests, they do have kind of like you aggro them, then you want to hide, then they obviously lose aggro on you, they do like a slight animation and they have a quick cooldown for about between 5 and 10 seconds ish. That's the time to grab that elite chest, it is as simple as that. Now explain further as we get on and go on to the other enemies. So you want to jump back up here guys, do the exact same thing again, but this time you want to go left instead of jumping straight over, so aim for that corner again, right like that, and then just run left, you don't fall off and you want to jump to this far plank right here, right here. So yeah, go to the end, go left this time and jump across, and there we have it. Now you want to jump up to this wall right here, don't matter if you don't make that, you can jump straight back up. Now no one noticed this skip here, I skipped here because I actually come forward and I tried to fight with a group player to get the portal, but we failed and I died, so yeah, you know. So this is where that burnout, well firstly, comes out for, so you need to skip to this roof here, and that is where the portal is right there. So we're going to try and avoid that, we'll explain in a second, so you want to skip across here, so you land on this roof. Now the portal, so like I said, there's most of the time probably going to be still active, so you obviously want to avoid them as best you can, and to do that within this spot, because you need to get past it, you need to follow this route up onto these rocks, and also jump up on here, jump up there, and then run across. Now this, well actually, this is not tricky at all, it's not tricky at all, so you just want to jump across here. Now there's two chests there, which I mean they're tempting, I just don't think they're worth your time, I mean, I mean you can get them, it's not hard, you can get them probably make your way around, because you need to come around this left side here, the way we're going, but there's a few enemies down there, which could get you into a little bit above her. So you want to follow this one, obviously the portal's out, and I right, want to try and avoid that best we can. Let's jump over that and drop down here, just to be safe, because you know what, them dudes get done for, he's that big door there, that big gateway, that's where we got ahead too, so we need to literally stick left, as long as we avoid that dude there, stick left, follow the way around, follow the path, stick close to these houses, and we are good to go, we are good to go. Now it's probably been a little too cautious here, you don't need to be this close to the houses, but you know, just making sure, just making sure. So you will have, grab the aggro of a couple enemies here, which shouldn't be a problem, just run straight past them, I mean you'll probably get clapped by one of them, or two of them, but you shouldn't have too much of a problem here, obviously make sure you have them potions, them health we change, you know, there's a woman here, well I think it's a pooster, so I'm not too sure, but just avoid her, avoid her, let's float these stairs, just fly up these stairs people, use that banner and jump onto this roof, right here to where we're at. Now the second elite chest is just over this rooftop, and it's the same big old dude with that big old sword, and actually get lucky here, I get seriously lucky, because I jump down and he seemingly grabs the attention of somebody I think behind me, and comes on swinging, so what you'll do here is actually shoot him, grab his attention, he will come walking towards where you are, you will obviously swing that sword, as he does, and as soon as he starts pointing guys, that is your key to jump down and grab that chest, so as soon as he starts pointing he will then turn around and walk away, you then jump down and grab that chest guys, once you've grabbed that chest run back up these stairs and back onto the same roof, as you see me doing on screen now, getting super super lucky doesn't take my head off, so yeah once you've jumped down and grabbed that elite chest from here guys, obviously like I said make your way back onto the roof and from on top of the roof, when I run this way obviously trying to avoid that poor best you can, because you don't want to aggro that, because things ain't going to end well for you, I mean it's quite close here, I'm getting shot by enemies, but run up these stairs guys to the left, straight past those enemies, straight past these enemies, and just after this gateway on your right you want to climb up these rocks, so you want to mantle these rocks right here, right now this can be a little bit of a tricky jump, but it isn't too dangerous, I mean it's not hard at all to be honest, it's just once you get it down once you know exactly what you've got to do, there's one semi-tricky jump here and one that's quite a tricky jump, there's probably the good first time you'll do this you probably will fall down, but you fall down on the other side of this gateway, so just run back around and climb back up or mantle back up those rocks is pretty pretty simple guys, so as you can see, so yeah these rocks right here, now you need to jump up here, you want to obviously you want to be pressing forward, so pressing w on your keyboard and just jump up, it's not too bad, now this is the trickiest part, so you need to get across to this roof right here, now I've tried to cheese it kind of by trying to get on this wood right in front there, but you can't, you can't you just fall off, so you need to jump and see how close, I was so close there, I was so close there to falling down, but if you fall down, like I said you'll fall down under gate, just run back around that gate and jump back up the rocks and try again, now this is where another chest is, right here, now this is actually quite easy to be honest, all you got to do is aggro the big dirty dude, you ain't got to worry about the woman there, leave her, leave her be, so you want to grab the attention to this dude, but hopefully you got better accuracy than me when doing it, now his actual cooldown animation is, so what you'll do is, you're like he slams his fist together, so you'll like punch his hand, you'll see in a quick second when I grab his attention, as soon as he does that you're good to jump down and grab this chest, so you'll see right about here, see there you go and it's good, so just jump down and grab the chest, don't worry about nothing else, just grab the chest, I mean I even tested it, I stood here for a couple seconds just to see if you turn around, but she doesn't seem to be aggro'd, which isn't a problem whatsoever, so just run past this dude, I mean don't get stuck like me, and you want to climb up on this little house here or whatever that is, this little shed, and you just want to obviously just, oh I'll lie down and go put it on, so you just obviously lose the aggro if you are aggro'd, if you're aggro'd this is what you must do, you must lie down and just sit here to control all that big aggro dude, I don't know whether he's a troll, aggro, demon or whatever, yeah so just lose his aggro if you want to run this way, and blast forward can go as fast as you can people, fast as you can, so you want to run this way right here, and this is where the one main portal is at the top there, which you can't get unless the portal has already been ran by a group, you won't be able to grab that last chest, well that chest anyways not the last chest so yeah, there's a little chest down there on the right as you can see but I'd probably activate the campfire here or create your own, I'd probably create your own as well, I'd normally do that and do it actually myself when I was running this, I'd correct me on, I just activated that respawn point just in case, now there can be a pain in the arse here and enemy ak to do is that shoot at you, but more times than not he's not here, now I actually thought as you'll see, I actually thought this dude was in here but it actually ain't, I'm trying to shoot him, he ain't working but for some reason you can shoot the sniper dude and he gets his aggro and you can actually kill him here, he doesn't go into retreat mode and he gets his health back, he doesn't actually do that, you can just shoot him and kill him, so here I learned that that wasn't the sniper dude, so what I did was I shot the bus as you'll see here, he points at me, he starts swinging that shit and he'll do it again because I got that burn effect on my fire staff, he points, there we go, we jump back straight down, grab that chest, you got, like I said, you got a few seconds to grab this, more than enough time, if you're quick enough any time is right to grab it, then just run, paper, run back to these, these rucks and run straight back up here and you should be good to go guys, you should be good to go, so now you want to run back to where that campfire was, and like I said at the top of these stairs here on your left hand side of me, you can run upstairs, the portal is being completed, you're free to grab that elite chest too, but if it hasn't, it actually blocks the way to the next elite chest, so you can't actually do anything about it, so you just have to leave that one out, so yeah, that's the one elite chest here, besides obviously the portal ones which you can't do solo anyway, that's the one elite chest up there that you can't grab unless that portal has been completed, now this is where I put my campfire down, because I just want to be safe you know, just in case, just in case, I don't know if that one campfire is always there, I think it's always been there since I've been running this, but I'm not certain about that, I think there's one or, I think there's two more, two more possibly three, if I can recall off the top of my head, I mean I've run this so many times and I still don't know how many is here, still don't know how many is here, but yeah this is the way you want to run, and you see there's that group that I died with earlier, still trying, still trying, all dying, so ignore that, just run straight here and you want to obviously use that burn out to get onto this roof right here, and you'll see here guys there's another one of those dudes with that big old dirty sword, so you want to jump down here, and this guy sometimes for me has a sniper dude with him, you know the guys that shoot in the ass, but sometimes he don't, now what I did here was actually waited because I wanted to show you what exactly what I did, so you'll see that in a quick second, I wait for him to come back, and then I just obviously grab his aggro, let him like chill out and I shoot him, and he points at me, start swinging like whoop there's no one there but he's swinging anyway just in case you can't see them, there you go then he'll point, and that's your key, jump down, grab that elite chest and then just run straight past him, don't worry about the adds, don't worry about nobody else just run past him, he's obviously got the aggro from the other enemies but don't matter anyway, let's run and see where this dude is jumping up on these rocks, this is the way you want to go, and at the top here you want to turn right and jump onto this roof, I'm not going to lie I caught this again here because I did try and help them again but it failed, but yeah yeah so obviously once you're on this roof it's pretty straightforward, again I think there's another, is there another two now, or is there another one, I think there's one more guys, I think yeah I think there's one more guys so you jump down here, shoot past these dudes now there's a good chance if these other players weren't here there's a good good chance these enemies would be chasing me so I'll show you what I do anyway I just run around here, jump on top of this and then just lie down, lie down and you'll lose the aggro and now you see now you can't actually be hit by the dudes because this dude's got this big old dirty troll chasing him and he's thinking well what do I do but you don't get you up here, so I actually cut the video here so this guy goes out of the area so I can show you exactly how to do this if nobody else is here grabbing his aggro but it is pretty straightforward guys, exactly what we did with the other big old dirty demon dude, let me just shoot him and you'll see you come charging up this place, comes charging up and lie down that's all you gotta do you'll see just punch his fists pop pop and you just jump down and grab the chest it is guys as simple as that grab it and just run out of there or get out of there and then you are good to go and that's basically it just run past this dude don't hang about it because he'll kick you up yes and kick you across the map and do you over so run past this dude and just then you're free there you go you've done basically all the mert guard elite chest solo besides the one like I said the one at the top where that portal is there you need to complete the portal to unblock the way now like I said you can get lock in come here and the team has just run this and there's about two or three extra elite chests you can grab because obviously when a portal has been completed there's just an elite chest there and if that's the case if you come here there isn't enough to get a portal there guys like you see for me there's going to be an elite chest there for you to grab so grab that too but there we have it guys and I hope this video helps you out if it does leaving a like
