Meerca Henchmen Guide

"Malkus Vile's henchmen... beware of this duo!"

Best known for their role in the theft of King Coltzan's crown, these brothers in crime like to keep their reflexes sharp by beating up any Neopian foolish enough to challenge them!

Getting the Henchmen as a Challenger
The Henchmen are relatively simple to get as a one-player challenger - simply refresh here! It may take some time for you to actually get them though, because the event is random.

Recommended Minimum Stats
While they're not the smartest cookies in the bunch, the brothers can still deal some impressive damage. Here's a run down of the minimum stats you'll want your pet to have.

Recommended Stats
Level Over 50, so you have the Berserk attack.
Hit Points 120+ is best, but it is possible to beat them with less and some luck.
Strength At least 55 for the boost, but of course the higher the better.
Defense If you want to, get the 20 point boost but don't worry too much if you're just under that.

Faerie Abilities
As with any battle there are a few Faerie Abilities that can be helpful. They aren't essential but they will make the fight easier. Probably the two best to have are:


Burrow
Earth, Level 10
Fiery Gaze
Fire, Level 6

If your pet has more of the higher level abilities then you can also use Sink (Dark, Level 30) and Diamond Dust (Air, Level 28).

Useful Weapons
If you're looking to get some special weapons for your battle with these slippery, thieving brothers here are a few of the weapons that are most effective against them.

Snowglobe Staff
A good freezer is always useful in any battle, but with the brothers a free turn when they're frozen is super important! Other freezers that you can use are the Black Frost Cannon or, if you want a 100% freezer, the Scroll of Freezing.
Stone Muffin
Muffins are very useful in this battle as they are reasonably priced 15-iconers, even if they are one use items. Other muffins you can use are Fire, Icey or Water Muffins.
Thick Smoke Bomb
Like your freezer this single use defense item will give you a free shot at the Henchmen, while it negates all the damage they deal to you in for one turn.
Greater Healing Scroll
This is a good economical healer, which will allow you to regain 50 health points during the battle. If you want a healer that will heal you back to full you could try getting a Lucky Robots Foot but remember that is a one use healer, and will vanish after you use it.
Downsize!
Another good defense item, this will block half of the icons that the Henchmen throw at you for one turn.

The Meerouladen and Heermeedjet Avatars
When you beat the Henchmen for the eigth Defenders of Neopia trophy you will also get one of these two avatars, which you can then use on the Neoboards. Which one you get is random, and it'll be awarded on the same page as your shiny new DoN trophy when you return to their headquarters.
