Description

In 2013 the Kenyan government declared that the camp must close and its inhabitants go “home”, but no one really believed this. Apart from anything, the sugar-smuggling barons would surely not want to lose their lucrative business. Dadaab is still there, even while the world’s attention has shifted to Syria, and it shows no signs of going away. You can get a bird’s-eye view of it from Google maps. To understand what goes on in it, read this disturbing and compelling book. Any Arachnos related content that’s level 25 or lower works great. Any higher than that, you tend to get other, stronger types of Arachnos mobs. Most of that is going to be redside, but the Faultline arcs and Aaron Thiery’s arc are quality blueside choices. If you are hunting them outside of missions, Faultline or Cap au Diable are the best choices. Just run the Dark Astoria arcs and you should get it – Sister Solaris is probably the best overall. Hunting in Dark Astoria is fine if you need a couple. This is technically a badge for the Valentine’s event, but since these enemies appear year round in some places, it’s doable at anytime. That being said, as both Hordelings and Hellfrosts have their own specific badges, so you are safe to completely ignore this badge as you will get it with either of those two other badges. Failed Experiments are best gotten through IVy’s arc, or at least farming the first mission of it, but appear in a number of Neutropolis story arcs. If you follow my recommendation in the Praetorian Enemy Addendum, you shouldn’t have difficulty getting this badge. If you don’t want to do missions, the only place these enemies exist elsewhere is in the Great Escape zone event in Neutropolis.

The Demon Queen Trials Series by C.N. Crawford - Goodreads

Some sources from Live will tell you you need to kill Marcone bosses, but it has been changed to Family minions and lieutenants. Not a whole lot of story arcs deal with Family, but you can spawn large numbers in some safeguard missions (Steel Canyon and Independence Port). Street sweeping is a quality option here. I like the strip of land between the two train stations in Independence Port as a hunting ground. The area closest to the Smuggler’s Ship in Striga Isle is also decent and contains Warrior bosses as well, making it an efficient choice. Port Oakes is also a solid option, particularly for lower level characters. Either hunting or story arcs in the Night Ward. Both work fine. If you hunt, head for the southern part of the zone. Gordon Stacy has a mission in his arc that is just crawling with these guys, and uniquely as minions and lieutenants, which makes it by far the best choice if you run it with large team sizes. If that doesn’t quite push you over the edge, Manticore should finish the job. I wouldn’t bother with street hunting these unless you need 20 or fewer to get the badge. In that case, I’d hit up Eden – I’ve found these are more common there than in Crey’s Folly. Lydia is horrible and while she claims to “not be like other women” she’s exactly like other women. She’s annoying and overly dramatic. Little wonder some set sights on risky escape to Europe; others head to Nairobi, where they are so routinely harassed, raped and ripped off, many return to Dadaab. One study found half al-Shabaab recruits motivated by police brutality. Rawlence is no misty-eyed romantic as he reports on the trade in ration cards, the rewriting of refugee stories, the industry springing up to broker resettlement slots, the war criminals ending up on western streets – even the attraction of British child benefit. Yet such is the disparity between us and “them” that as one UN lawyer says: “If I can get one person resettled, I have helped 500.” These are stories that need to be heard.Our main character is Rowan and the entire book is from her point of view. She describes her style as Puritan Goth and is currently going for a degree in Psychology. Somali boys fetch water from a puddle in Dadaab.

City of Thorns Summary | SuperSummary

Employment is what everyone wants, but employment (at least of the formal kind) is the very thing that is denied you as a refugee. The people of Dadaab find various ways round this. The refugees employ each other: there is plenty of exploitation in this, but also a strong sense of the need for mutual support. The agencies, meanwhile, circumvent their own rules by creating what they call “incentive positions”, low-paid jobs for auxiliary workers in education and health and administration that create the makings of a camp middle class.The most efficient way to do this is to run the one mission from Gordon Bower’s arc that has these at -1/x8 a few times until you get it. Barring that, it’s not too hard to get it over the course of a couple of night cycles in Croatoa – if you’ve outleveled Gordon Bower, this method is not substantially worse. The best hunting ground is the Graveyard in Salamanca, but the rest of Salamanca, or the non-wooded part of New Connaught work, as long as its night. These enemies do not appear when it’s day in game. The most absorbing book in recent memory about life in a refugee camp....Mr. Rawlence’s major feat is stripping away the anonymity....He transforms its denizens from faceless victims into three-dimensional human beings. Along the way, Dadaab emerges from the ever-present heat and dust to become much more than a refugee camp.”—Howard French, The Wall Street Journal

and Where to Hunt - Defeat Badge Guide - Homecoming How and Where to Hunt - Defeat Badge Guide - Homecoming

Hunting in Sharkhead Isle, specifically the rafters. These guys will literally just line up for you to kill them. Annoyingly, they are pretty well separated from each other, so you’ll be unable to rely on AoE to kill large groups at a time, but you should never be unable to find these.First, a bout the pets – generally the boss will summon all of them: one Phantasm, one Dark Servant, and one to three Illusionists. The illusionist pets can despawn, even while the Master Illusionist is still alive, so if you have the DPS, focus on them. Also note that the Decoy Phantasms are unkillable, and will n ot count towards this badge even if you do find a way to kill them. Bloody Bay has them in large numbers, but as a PVP zone, you are scaled to their level. Not great, but workable. You can also work on Banished Pantheon Spirit Masks there, but they aren’t super abundant. The Pilgrim has a mission with some, but likely not enough even at max difficulty. If you specifically want just this badge, Hell’s Highway in Perez Park is the way to go. But you can easily grab this one along with the Lost Bosses and Embalmed Vahzilok in the Sewer Network, which is what I’d recommend you do first, at least until you have the other two badges. Perez Park is best. The groups often have 10-12 Skulls in them as opposed to the smaller groups in King’s Row. Bosses are also more abundant so you can work on Bonecrusher simultaneously.
