Fake Nem hunting

[Tankshock]

Is there a better place than the PI docks?  Can you do it on AE?

[Adeon Hawkwood]

From what I recall PI was the best place. AE doesn't count for defeat badges so that's not an option. But yeah that badge sucks.

The Nemesis War arc in Ouro. First mission. Turn it to -1/x8.

[Shinobu]

Alternatively, you can run SSA2.5, last arc for Pandora's Box, the second Signature Story arc.  The contact is in Steel Canyon and is Heldenjaeger, a small jaeger robot near the Royal Overbrook marker.  He asks you to warn Positron, and then you have a "board a train" mission to save city hall.

 

Set to -1/8 and go to town.  Use a bind key to target the Fake Nemesis, and don't AoE anything because you don't want the Lts. to hit Vengeance as they die.  You can get 25-32 Fake Nemesis on one run.

 

Use one of these -- a keybind:

 

/bind z "targetcustomnext enemy alive fake"

(this will target any fake nemesis in range when you hit the z key, or anything with "fake" in its name basically)

 

or a macro:

 

/macro FAK "targetcustomnext enemy alive fake"

(this will produce a macro button labeled FAK.  You can edit it later to change the word/name it searches for... for example tank for Freakshow bosses, or prince for Clockwork bosses.)

I used to hunt them in the Shadow Shard.

Thanks, good tips!

[Mr. Vee]

Or visit the gull and get the redside version high pain threshold. Marcone bosses have been changed to lieutenants so it's much quicker. Can get the whole accolade faster than a nem hunt. Well apart from the debt. I couldn't believe I had to farm some debt for it on a blaster yesterday. Unprecedented. But five minutes of attacking +5s in Grandville next to the hospital and I had enough.

[Tankshock]

Thanks - where is a good spot for Marcone bosses?  Don't do much redside.

[Mr. Vee]

Marconeville in Port oakes there are tons. And it's no longer bosses, it's lieuts and minions. As you run around there also kill any arachnos you see. When you finish marcones head over to the fort in the Northeast for the rest of your wolf spider kills (and pirate ghost kills if you're doing the red version of portal jockey as well).

This is a good response. I did this a few nights ago, got about 25 fake nem per run. It's also easier if you turn bosses off so they spawn as Lts.

[Tankshock]

Tried both the blue mish, the Nem War from Ouros is easier.

In Striga Isle, Consigliari and Underbosses also count as Family Bosses. Around the boats in NW Port Noble. Do this around the same time as The Silver Bullet (Warwolves) and The Slayer (Vampyri) early-mid 20s. Hunt gangsters during the day, vampires at night.

[Sothoth]

Farming them in PI isn't that bad, only took a couple hours.

I don't see a Nemesis War arc in Ouro.  is it under another name?

[srmalloy]

Heldenjager's TF/arc; the name is 'Brass Tuesday', with a level 40 minimum.

[Ironblade]

There are Nemesis arcs in Ouroboros, such as Nemesis Weather Control and Nemesis Rex (which are badge arcs) and a long arc called The Eternal Nemesis.  These should all be in (or near) the 40-44 range since they are from Maxwell Christopher and that's his level range.  This is blue side.

 

What srmalloy is referring to is a Signature Story Arc.  Heldenjaeger is a contact in Steel Canyon and you can teleport to it (yes, "it" - it's a Nemesis Jaeger) using the story arc tab in the LFG window.  There's also a red side contact, but I've never used that one.  Heldenjaeger is the contact for part 5 of the 'Pandora's Box' signature arc and it's worth doing the whole thing for the story.

Look for "Nemesis Rex" under "Justice Incarnate (Level 40-49)."

 

Personally, I find this much better for Nemesis farming than Pandora's Box ep. 5.  Three runs should get you the badge.  Just have good defense and resistance and avoid killing the minions and lieutenants so their vengeance buffs don't sack up and get you killed.

Turn off bosses to make it easier.

 

If you care about the warhulk badge, you can get that in here too

The Flop in St Martial was always the spot for this badge.  There are two building you basically figure 8!around endlessly and it is a non stop farm

[Frostbiter]

Several of the Nemesis story arcs including Nemesis Weather Control and Nemesis Rex do not show up on Ouroboros unless you ran the arc at level through the contacts.

I just checked with a level 50 character who doesn't have Maxwell Christopher in her inactive contact list, and she can see all three of his Nemesis arcs, including Nemesis Rex. in the Pillar.  They're in the level 40-49 group.

[OmegaOne]

There are lots of Fake Nems on Tyrant's Rock in the Cascade Archipelago.

[PresidentDSG]

The best place to get your Nemesis kills is a nemesis invasion. Do Pandora's Box arc 5 (If you want you can form a team to do this quicker and get bonus kills), then form a league wherever the invasion spawns. One invasion can get you all three Nemesis badges easy.

Thank you, you're right. Not sure why I was thinking that.
