More or less, this is a thread about sharing strategies on how to do Apocrea runs.
Just put your down if u have one :P
Mine is to have a 4 man party, 3 people farm/ do puzzles while 1 person with some MSI (I use my battle sprite, you can use mercurial stuff if you want) and some shadow resist and bait the Harvester so he stays in 1 place. All you have to do is run in circles, he wont leave. If you have maskey, use invis if u get caught, but dont stay in it for too long or else he will leave.
Strategy Sharing !

how is this thread different?
How is this thread different from all of the other "how to do (or not do) Apocrea" threads on the front page of this forum?

My personal technique that
My personal technique that was suggested by a friend since my computer does not like this event - I use a Dark Briar Barrage to destroy graves, spam 'em repeatedly, and when Souls spawn I lay down a few more and then lay waste with Acheron. DBB is great for destroying whole clusters of Scarabs, too, which reduces the lag on my end as well.
As for general strategy, learn the timing and how to run and when to dash away from Harvey's grabbyhands, and you should be fine. Maskeraith helps a ton if you're snagged (though if you're surrounded by Scarabs, they'll destroy your disguise pretty quickly).
That's pretty much the teamwork strategy that is commonplace. If you search the past few pages (or even just the front page) of general discussion, you will find many other topics like this one.
Gosh I can feel my inner Bopp showing
Honestly, I just recommend learning how to dodge the harvester. I hate being the "bait", but seeing as I don't have a masky, I'm often the only one the harvester can see on the map. Learn when to use your dodge and what running patterns to go in. As of now, I'll still break tombstones while being chased because I can still free the souls with Harvey on my tracks.
And for the love of Impostoclaus' mustache, kill the bloody scarabs.
Also use heart attack on bombies. It works.
