II - Weapons and armors :
As T2, I use 3 differents armors :
Full energy armor with blessed insignia for mountains.
Full life armor with pyrebound insignia for pools (the run and the pop)
Full life armor with blessed insignia for the queen (usefull if you play with viper defense).
And I use :
Full energy staff (+5 we, +5 and 20% enchant)
Caster spear
Zealous spear (+5 energy, zelous, 20% enchant) for the queen.
Zealous Scythe (+5 energy, Zealous, +20% enchant)
Fire shield (+10 vs fire damages +45 we)
Lightning shield (+10 vs lightning damages +45 we)
Normal shield (+45 we, +10 vs piercing or -2 wE).
If u run with honor, take q5 vampiric (or zealous) daggers.
III - The complete run :
At the beginning I don't pop pcons, in that way you'll have all your energy for mountains. I wait for the prot bond and DC to an aaxte. If you have SoH put it on the wall (in front of you) and aggro the patrill of graspings AND the aaxte (i aggro him even if he doesn't move). Break SoH, wait like 1 sec and go to the spot for spiking. When the spike is done, pop a cupcake and HoS the LT. Now i'm poping all pcons but rainbow (cause if the mainteam wipe it save expansive pcons ^^). If your SoS isn't retard you can HoS with QZ (with viper defense you can jump w/o QZ). Now i'm using stab with alcohol and I make sure i've got my Lightning shield on me (especially if you're running with viper defense). HoS on the T4 and run to the mountains spawn. Use your DC only at the corridor on the right (the suicid go to the left in that point but everybody know that ^^). When I see the lab reaper i'm using my rainbow. At this moment, you should see a Darkness patroll, put stab again with SF and rush into it to go to mountains reaper.
1) Mountains pop :
There is no secret to pop mountains under 4:30. You need a good start, a good spawn and some skills. I'll just try to give you tips to do it consistently...
At the beginning, try to ball 1 or 2 dryder on one behemot (keep the main ball alive is faster).
Don't kill behemots who're behind the monument :
![[Image: 3Z39CUC.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/3Z39CUC.jpg)
If all your behemots are at this spawn or behind the monument, just kill the 2 unglitched terrowebs. The glitched one will run into the behemot spot :

Make sure to take the quest before the reaper attack. If you didn't just tell your team and go to pools. Killing lasts behemots is way faster with the Vale team (in that case toolbox is really usefull but I only use it in speedruns or if I pop the reaper under 4min).
2) The slayer :
When your quest is taken, DC down on behemots and HoS on him to leave the mountains reaper faster : (on the screen you can see the DC target and the HoS spot)

Pay attention if you have Darkness, put alcohol and cast stab + SF, if you don't have it just aggro the slayer and cast Whirling with stab up. To kill it there is 3 way :
Safeway, go to the safespot, equip your zealous spear and your fire shield to kill him (so DC and HoS are useless). (Times : 1:40)

Fastway, go to the bridge and try to not kill white dryders use a staff for it. But pay attention, if you're running to far the slayer will say goodbye and he will kill your reaper. (Time : 1:10 – 1:20)
![[Image: eXOr4P4.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/eXOr4P4.jpg)
Stoneway, pop a ghastly stone when you're around the safe spot, aggro dryders and keepers and go to the safe spot with fire shield and zealous spear (You can stoneway only if your suicid is slow or if you poped under 3:20). (Time : 1min).
3) Running to pools :
Now slayer is done, use some alcohol and DC to the behemots to go to plains. After you've DC to the behemots you can drop SF (but equip your Lightning shield) untill here

At this point I never DC to skeles because you loose too much time. I just pop the patroll by DC'ing to a rider and run. If you have put your SF at the right spot, it will be recast here
![[Image: lhh1QfO.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/lhh1QfO.jpg)
At this time, i'm running with my staff (if you get half time recharching skills on DC it will make you happy

![[Image: 3u0hzYJ.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/3u0hzYJ.jpg)
Cast stab too and HoS on a darkness at this spot
![[Image: yh941sV.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/yh941sV.jpg)
Now just run to queen's spwan by using DC and HoS and recast SF here
![[Image: b4p9jsJ.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/b4p9jsJ.jpg)
At this point don't use DC untill you're around pools reaper. If there's no dryders to DC on just take the 3 dryders in front of the spawn and HoS to get in.
4) Balling pools :
Equip your fire shield +caster weapon, cast shroud, drop SF and ball !
Videos are better so here is 2 videos (SoH pull and w/o SoH).
SoH :
W/O SoH :
5) Queen :
When you're ball is down, check your timer and pop pcons again if you poped after 9:30 (if you don't have a timer just pop pcons lololol) equip your life armor with your staff and run to the queen (don't use DC on the queen, skeles will probably follow you) and attack the queen. Switch to your Zealous Spear + Fire shield when your life is under 50%. Then prepare the /age to see if you're faster than the other times

IV - TIPS :
If you failed your ball at pools, don't try to do it again. Just ball all dryders left with a zealous scythe and pop a legionnary if you can.
Using viper defense is harder than HoS. T2's who play with VD can't do queen if they have one skel (or you'll loose 20sec ^^). I'm playing with viper only for pushing time.
Use +10% moral boost, you will never need a pstone so use it at the beginning.
V - Best times :
9:12 with honor and HoS by Moonzy

With a perfect mnts spawn and a perfect run (stone at slayer, fast recast on DC etc), 8min is still doable
