Okay, so, a lot of new players are in the dark about how to lure the Gnome General out of his purple-domed mushroom hut (ugh...flashback to the smurfs there)


I highly doubt many people will be scouring people's journals to find the answer on how to solve this quest, but I thought I'd write it in here for the heck of it. (and hey, it will be a good reminder in any case, should I go back and forget what it is I have to do to get General Lazy McGee out of his hut)


Who you should take:

So, to start off, if you are a low-level player, it is VERY important that you have a crew. There is absolutely no way to beat him and all the underlings attached at his hip by yourself if you're, say, level 2. Make sure that at least one member of your party has the Defib ring and someone has some sort of healing ring...you'll need it. I recommend having at least 3 people with you.


How to lure out the underlings:


This part of the quest was rather confusing. The underlings they're asking you to kill that are needed to get the General out of his mushroom are NOT the ones currently running about nearby. You actually need to kill the monsters surrounding the hut slowly (by slowly, I mean possibly having only one or two of your crew killing animated one at a time...don't do a mass attack, or you'll kill the animated too quickly and the underlings won't come out) If you kill slowly enough, the underlings will come out of the hut to fight you in an effort to stop you from waking the General.


How to lure out the General Gnome:


As with directions for luring the underlings out, you will need to kill the general's underlings (they'll come from the hut) slowly. There are two things the underlings must say before it's guaranteed the General will come out: the general will wake up, and the general is awake. Once you get the message that the general is awake, he will come out. Don't worry about not spotting the guy, he's huge. You won't miss him, trust me. Once he comes out, have everyone in the crew focus on getting in at least one hit so they'll get credit for killing him. Then plan on having some of you fight the minions off while the rest take care of the General (be warned, he hits hard)


Do you have to wait for a specific time of day?

Nope. I heard you had to wait until the afternoon, but that's not the case, considering I lured him out with a small crew of three during the game's nighttime. Just remember to kill the General's minions slowly so you make lots of noise and wake him up. Lure monsters from other areas to the spot if you have problems with a large crew killing the underlings too quickly.
