[Guide] Beating Dead Man's Hand

After the release of Savage Coast of Turan it quickly became evident that Dead man's hand doesn't scale to veteran players in terms of difficulty and rewards. Funcom since revamped the Dead Man's and now you can enter it in normal or hard (unchained) mode. If you are looking for a quick way to make tokens, get mastery and even make some coin then this place is for you. In fact hard version of Dead Man's Hand is currently the fastest solo content that grants token rewards. In this guide I want to show you the quickest way to beat this dungeon and reap the rewards. It can be done in 10 minutes or so.

You start at the boat. Before you mount up get your kappa out and switch to red buff (critical damage rating) which is best suited for avatar based assassins builds.

Ride to the right corner of the village.

Keep to the right until you see an opening with a torch next to in (there is also a snake there)

Keep riding through the pass until you run into two pirates

I recomend killing the pirates rather than avoiding them.

When the fight is over jump down, hide and stick to the wall

Either kill the few pirates that are there (I prefer to do that) or just keep stealthing next to wall

Keep stealthing..

Wait for a pirate on patrol and take him out. The rest won't be moving.

Approach the boss very carefully. If you agrro the mobs in the nearby camp you might be in big troubles as there are 2 archers there (they are hitting like a truck!) and the melee mobs can stun you.

Short chat with the boss and get ready to fight him.

Just spank the boss until he starts running. Keep landing the combos on him while on the run. The more you damage him early on the easier the fight will be. Use From The Darkness and Accelerated to quickly close in on the boss.

The last stage of the fight is also simple tank and spank

When the fight is over the boss will just turn green

Don't forget to loot the nearby chest

Mount up and run back to the village. Ignore all the mobs that will be in your way

Back to the pass. At this point you should have shaken off any aggro.

Back to the village

Back to the boat where you have started

Sprint along the beach until you reach the entrance to the forest

Don't stop and ignore any mobs

Keep runing straight ahead

Keep running

When you reach this point you should have shaken off any aggro you had

Dismount

Kill 3 crocs

Walk into the pirate's base

Deal with the pirates inside.

Look out for a nasty stun.

Kill the fat warden.

Talk to the boss to start the fight

This is simple tank and spank.

When the boss will be at 25% she will stun you and almost kill you. The boss will flee and the fight will be over.

Loot the chest

Mount up and go back the way you came to the camp

Keep sprinting along the same patch

Go back to the village.

In the village keep to the left side until you reach the main bulding which is the tavern

Clean up the mobs there (boobies!)

Talk to the boss to start the fight

This is tank and spank fight (yet again)

Loot the chest nearby

Go inside and walk up the stairs killing the mobs that are there

Loot the secret chest that is on the balcony

Mount up

Keep to the right until you reach an opening

Keep sprinting until you see the ship

Enter the ship

There are 3 bosses in this instance and their apperance is random.Accalia is the hardest one. Drostan and the Vesp are pretty much tank and spank (no need to use the intended mechanics). When fighting Drostan save your avatar for when he will summon his rats, then activate avatar and use Death Whirlwind. You will leech absurd amounts of health this way.
