A very good alternative order is eagle, bear, dragonhawk, lynx which should guarantee 3 chests with reasonable play, although it probably wastes about a minute compared to the ideal order.


Praetorian mentioned it already, but I'm just curious what your reasoning is for claiming that the "best" order is Bear->Dragonhawk->Eagle->Lynx. You claim that you waste a minute by doing the standard start at Eagle method, but it seems to me that you would waste a lot more than a minute by doing the right side of the instance first and then the left.

When you start at Bear then Dragonhawk, you have to run all the way back to the beginning of the instance to do Eagle, then after you kill Eagle you have to run all the way to the back of the instance again to get to Lynx. This seems like it wastes a lot more time than going from Eagle to Bear to Dragonhawk to Lynx in a circle.
