A Miner's Gold
A Miner's Gold is quest first revealed in the GamesCom 2009 demo.
Background
The quest is given by the Crazed Miner in the Canyon Rim Mines, who asks that you defend him while he raises a chest of gold via a pulley system. If you are successful, you get half the gold.
To complete the quest, players must stand their ground and fight off an attacking horde of Fallen. The enemies are not powerful, but they are numerous, and the quest changes up the usual play style for forcing players to hold a location, rather than engaging in the usual fighting retreat large numbers of enemies can cause.
This quest was first described in a hands-on report from Gamescom 2009. [1]
- We ran into a "Crazed Miner," who offered us the quest, "A Miner's Gold." All we had to do was defend the miner while he raised a treasure chest via a pulley system. When he started, swarms of Fallen came after him. If we were successful in defending the miner from the swarm, we'd get half the gold. It really wasn't a challenge for the Barbarian, as Ground Stomp made that defense quest a simple task.
Strategy
The Fallen Imps aren't that dangerous, but they're numerous, so attacks that hit multiple enemies at once are most effective. Crowd control abilities, such as the Barbarian's Ground Stomp are also very useful to debuff or distract the enemies.
