2. Version History
----------------------------------
Expect updates once a week, or so. I update the guide while I'm completing
the quests, or if someone emails me the information. Be forwarned though -
This game is HUGE. The amount of gameplay you get for your money makes this
game a virtual steal. It will take some time before this guide is anywhere
close to being definitive.
Version 2.00 - At this point, the guide can now be considered complete. EVERY
Mission and quest is now covered in the guide, with the notable
exception of the FoW and UW quests. While I eventually plan to
add those to the guide, as I expected, finding a group that
can actually do well down there is a bit of a challenge. At
this point, I consider this guide complete, and will only be
adding to it as Arena-net adds new quests to the original
Guild Wars game.
Version 1.50 - It's been a while since the last update. A PC problem left me
without the latest version of the guide, so I'm having to go
back and fill in parts. Added a few new quests since the GWF
preview weekend. Filled in a few more missions. Also, Since
it's incredibly hard to find a decent group for UW and FoW, It
might be a while before those quests are completed.
Version 1.25 - NEARLY-ALL Sorrow's Furnace quests have been added to the guide
with the exception of two or three quests, which I have left a
space for in the walkthrough. Please help with filling this in!
Mission walkthroughs still forthcoming.
Version 1.00 - "final" version - As of this point, the quest guide covers all
quests in the game, both class-specific and non-class-specific
quests. Missions are still incomplete, but are in the proper
order if you are playing the game through. Expect them to come
over time.
Version 0.80 - Big update - This guide should now cover all non-class-specific
quest in the game. All missions have been entered into their
(more or less) correct order in the game. Mission Walkthroughs
are still forthcoming.
- Expect to see in the next update: Mission walkthroughs,
including bonuses where I've completed them, and Ranger and
Necromancer Class-specific Quests.
Version 0.65 - Yet more stuff added. This guide should now cover ALL non-class
specific Quests up through Droknar's Forge. Still working on
the quests you can receive once you get there and, of course,
class specific quests will take quite a bit longer.
Version 0.55 - Added yet more quests - Starting to fill the gap between
Ascalon and Kryta. Added a large number of quests that you
receive once you get to Yak's Bend. Also, altered the quests
that give you class-specific skills to reflect the skills each
class would receive. Please help fill this list in!
Version 0.50 - Still updating - Quests at this point range to the Amnoon Oasis
Still the gap between Nolani Academy and Gates of Kryta, but
that gap should be filled before too much longer. Also added
indicators in the Quest List to show which quests are listed
but not yet covered in the guide.
Version 0.45 - Major update - At this point, I'm not putting dates on the
updates anymore, as I'm adding to this guide every day. Here's
a list of all the major changes that I've done to this guide.
(1) Added an FAQ section - prolly should have had one since the
beginning, but *shrugs* (2) All quests covered by this guide
are now in the quest list (3) Added a boatload of new quests,
mostly in the Ascalon areas. Quests that are listed but not
completed are ones that I'm still working on in the game.
Version 0.40 - May 15, 2005 - As of this point, the Quest guide contains a
(hopefully) definitive list and walkthroughs of ALL the
Pre-Searing quests, INCLUDING class-specific quests. Any quest
that is not in this portion of the guide, please e-mail me with
the details and I will add it to the guide.
Version 0.30 - May 13, 2005 - Added Quest List Section. The guide should
now contain nearly all of the pre-searing quests. Please check
the quest list for the complete list of quests covered in this
guide. Some class-specific quests may not be covered at this
point.
- Guide officially uploaded to www.gamefaqs.com
Version 0.20 - May 12, 2005 - Added the following quests: Necromancers novice,
The Blessings of Balthazar, Unsettling Rumors, Charr in the
Catacombs, Charr at the Gate, The Wayward Wizard
- Added "Recommendations" section to guide.
Version 0.10 - May 11, 2005 - Added the following quests: Monks Test, Path
to glory, Across the Wall
- Formatted entire guide to comply with Gamefaqs 79 char rule.
Version 0.05 - May 7, 2005 - First start of this guide.

3. Contact Information
----------------------------------
At this point, you can see this guide is woefully incomplete. To assist me in
completing this guide, I humbly request that anyone who wishes to assist me in
adding to this guide email me with information to make this guide more usable
to those playing guild wars. Anyone who contributes to this guide will be
acknowledged below in the credits (and in the quest list itself).
Please feel free to contact me with any information not contained in this
guide. When contacting me, please include [guild wars] in the subject line, or
else the email will be erased. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS! Questions
regarding quests or anything else contained in this guide will not be
answered.
If you are contacting me regarding a quest that is not in this guide, please
use the following format.
- Quest Title:
- Quest difficulty:
- Received in:
- Received from:
- Classes restrictions :
- Walkthrough:
- Reward:
- Additional quests unlocked:
Also please include your characters professions (eg w/mo) and level. Once that
has been filled out. Send it to me at the email below, and I will add the
information to this guide and add your name to the credits section of this FAQ.
E-mail: Josh.park@verizon.net
I can also be found moderately often online in Guild wars as one of the
following characters: Boris Treborne, Dr. Raven, or Arvor of Oakenwood
All quest walkthroughs contained here will follow the same format, though, at
this point, I am not including the quest summary. All quests in this guide
have been successfully completed, so if you follow the walkthrough, you won't
need the summary, now will you? :-)
- Quest Title: What shows up in your log.
- Quest difficulty: This will be a subjective rating, but will follow a basic
scale of Very Easy, Easy, Moderate, somewhat hard, hard, very hard, and
insane. Please note that these ratings are subjective to character level
and may not always be accurate. Some quests may be easier to complete with
certain classes and some may be harder. The ratings very easy to moderate
can be completed alone, without assistance in most cases. Somewhat hard to
insane will require assistance.
- Received in: Which area you have to be in to receive the quest
- Received from: Who you have to talk to to receive the quest
- Classes restrictions : If there are any specific class restrictions on
this quest, I will list them here. If there are not any, I will list
"none".
- Walkthrough: What you have to do to complete this quest. Please note - this
is what worked for me, or whoever sent me this information, you may find
an easier or different way. In the case of mission quests, any bonus
objectives will also be detailed and how to complete them successfully.
Where applicable, I try to give directions as well.
- Reward: What you get upon successful completion of the quest. The XP
award is given and if there is a weapon or item, the stats are given as
well. Note - on several of the Post-Searing Quests, the rewards consist
of both XP and "Class-Specific" skills. In most cases, unless the quest
has a class restriction, this is one skill for each of your classes. Each
quest now has a list of the skills for each class. This may not be complete
as I update the guide as I play through the game. I do not know if these
change based on what you already have, but I do not believe so.
- Additional quests unlocked: Whether or not the completion of this quest
will unlock any additional quests. For example, after completing the class-
specific training quest in pre-searing Ascalon, Haversdan comes out and
gives you another quest. Quests that you can get from other NPC's without
completing another quest first do not count as being unlocked. An example
of this would be the "trial quests" that you can receive from the six
class trainer NPC's in Pre-searing Ascalon, as you can receive those
without talking to anyone else.
Missions are written somewhat differently. Since missions are generally longer
and will have multiple objectives, I'll be using a simpler format for the
missions. The format I'm using for the missions is as follows:
- Mission: This is the name that will appear on your quest log should you
access it during the mission.
- Difficulty: Subjective difficulty of the ENTIRE mission. This may be broken
up between just completing the mission, or completing the mission AND the
bonus.
- Objectives: This will list the objectives that you have to complete in
order to successfully complete the mission. Where applicable, it will also
list the bonus objective that you can complete.
- Walkthrough: This is one way you can complete the mission. I generally do
NOT mention completing objectives in the walkthrough, except for the bonus
and rare occasions where you it is important to know. Please remember that
this is not the only way for you to complete the mission, just a way that
either myself or a contributor found to complete the mission.
- Reward: All missions have the same reward. 1,000 XP and one skill point for
completing the main mission, and 1,000 XP for completing the bonus
objective. You can complete the bonus without completing the mission. It
should be noted that you can only receive this award once, so if you finish
a mission six times, you will still only receive the 1,000 XP and one skill
point once.
Now that you understand how the guide is going to be written, it's time to
show you how to use the guide. To find information about the quest or mission
that you want information on, use the "Find" feature that is present in just
about every internet browser (such as IE, Netscape, etc) or Word processor.
Type in the EXACT name of the quest as it appears on your screen in the game.
(This is important otherwise you may not find the right quest.) Click "find
next" until you have the quest that you are looking for.
- Spend time fighting randoms and gaining gold and XP. Gold helps you buy
better armor once you get to post-searing Ascalon, which in turn helps keep
your rear-end in the fight. And since the amount of XP awarded by the quest
is not subject to level adjustment (or the fact that you do not receive as
much XP for killing lower-level monsters), it works in your favor if you are a
reasonably high level when you accept the REWARD for the quest.
- Keep someone in your party. While this does split the amount of XP you
receive from killing monsters between the party members, it usually makes a
lot of these quests MUCH easier. In fact, some of these quests are impossible
to complete without having a party. Plus, the XP award is not split among your
party members, each character completing the quest will receive the same
award.
- During Missions, always attempt to complete the bonus quest. (in this
guide, missions will have the heading "MISSION: (insert name here)" instead
of "Quest:(Insert name here)". Bonuses for missions ALWAYS award 1000 xp,
though you can only gain the award once, no matter how many times you run
through the mission. Again, that is 1000 XP for each person completing that
bonus the first time. Complete the mission, and gain another 1000 XP and one
skill point, which can be used to purchase skills from trainers around the
game world. As with quests, bonuses range from being incredibly easy to almost
impossible.
- If at first you don't succeed, try again. An old adage, but true. This game
is incredibly well balanced. If you find yourself not being able to complete
a quest because of a low level, spend sometime levelling up. Getting killed
quickly because of a low armor level, buy or craft better armor. Find yourself
without the right skills set (remember, you can only equip Eight!), head back
to town and adjust. Keep on trying, I have yet to come across a quest that is
impossible.
- The Game doesn't stop once your character reaches level 20. Once you reach
level 20, you stop gaining Attribute points and instead will start earning
skill points, which are used to purchase skills from trainers around the game
world. You will find yourself purchasing a lot of skills, even if you don't
plan on using. Remember, every skill you unlock or purchase in the RP portion
of the game also is unlocked for the PvP portion.
- Create a RP character and play through the game even if you plan on mainly
haunting (or terrifying) the PvP circuit. Main reason for this is the more of
the Role-playing portion of the game you have played through, the more skills,
equipment, runes, etc. (you get the idea), you unlock for a PvP character. If
start right into PvP, you will find yourself much more limited than someone
who has played through the game and has a completed character.

6. Quest List
----------------------------------
Here is the quick guide for whether or not this guide covers a specific
quest. It is my hope that eventually, this will be a definitive guide to the
quests offered in Guild Wars, but that will be a long time coming.
This section will be in the same format as the pre and post searing sections,
where the quests are divided by the area in which you receive these quests.
** - after a Quest or Mission will indicate that the walkthrough is not yet
complete for that particular quest or mission, but the mission will indicate
where you receive it, who you receive it from, and the mission reward.

All quests contained in this section will be before the searing of Ascalon, or
before you enter the academy by talking with Sir Tydus. For sake of
Convenience, I've organized these in order of where you receive them.
Also, during Pre-searing Ascalon, you do not suffer a Death Penalty when you
die. This area is sort of like a "Training ground" for new people. It is worth
your time to make sure you have done every quest, found every collector and
in general, exploited this chapters possibilities to the fullest, because once
you enter the academy, you can no longer return to this part of the game.
One last thing before I get to what you're really hear to know, in Pre-searing
ascalon there are a series of what I'm labelling TRIAL quests. These are
quests given by specific NPCS - namely the six npcs that have the ability to
give you another profession. When you accept the quest, they will give you the
option of accepting skills from that profession for a while. In nearly every
case, you MUST accept these skills or you will not be able to complete those
quests. This guide will be written assuming those skills have been accepted.
Once those quests have been completed, those NPCs will offer the chance to
take a second profession. Since you can't change your mind until you have
reached Droknar's Forge, I prefer to complete all the trial quests and then
make up my mind. If nothing else, if gives you more XP! Just don't forget to
take the second profession before you enter the academy at Ascalon or you
won't be able to take it at all. Though I have heard rumors that once you
reach a point in the game, you will be allowed to change your secondary
profession, I have not reached it yet.
Also, While you have to be at least level three to enter the academy, it is
strongly recommended that you level up as much as possible before doing so.
Most people can get between Level 7 to Level 9 before entering the academy.
Just complete as many of the quests as possible, and when you need to kill
higher level monsters, wander around Regent's Valley and Wizard's Folly. Those
areas usually have lvl 3 monsters, which still give XP (albeit a small amount)
to lvl 7-8 characters.

All quests in this section will be after the searing or after the cutscene
showing the searing of ascalon. Note - this is where the REAL game begins.
After the searing, you will start earning death penalties. This is also
where you can play in PvP arenas for fun and profit (XP)
Party Sizes - When you start in Ascalon city, your base party size has been
increased to 4. I strongly suggest that you take advantage of this. Once you
get to Yak's Bend, your party size will increase to six. Once you have access
to Droknar's Forge, your maximum party size will increase to eight, which is
the largest party you can have in the game. (Note, The temple of the Ages also
allows a party size of eight, as does the Tomb of Kings and Dragon's Lair
areas).
Henchmen - After the searing, you will start seeing a lot more npcs, including
dye traders, material traders, craftsmen, armorers, and HENCHMEN. Henchmen are
hireable npc's that will accompany you on your adventuring. They are usually
lower level than the average pc in that area, and cannot respond to commands,
but are good if you want to either complete an area "on your own", or cannot
find anyone else to join your party. Henchmen come in a wide variety of
colors and flavors and will slowly increase in level as you progress
throughout the game. They will start at level three in Ascalon, and increase
as you proceed. Henchmen aren't free however, while they cost no gold to hire
, they will take a cut wof XP, gold, and Item drops as if they were were a
regular player character. Item drops that are "reserved" for henchmen will not
appear on your screen. Initially, you will start with four possible henchmen,
a healer, a fighter, a mage, and a ranger. You add three more when you reach
Yak's Bend - a Cultist, an Enchanter, and a Brawler. Once you reach the
Dragon's Lair, you add a protector to the line-up.

bridge). While following this path, Talk to the ghost of Kilnn Testibrie to

piece of armor for the bonus (The pauldron). Follow this path back down,

the cutscene, you need to run back to the start, but you can't take the
same path you did coming here. Start by running south across the bridge,
then veering southeast towards the arch. Go through the arch and across
another bridge, then follow a path southeast to another bridge. About this

the Diessa Lowlands, Head east until you reach what appears to be a ruined
temple that is loaded with Charr. I recommend skirting around the edges, as
there is far too many for an average group to deal with. What you're
looking for is actually the ghost of Althea. Talk to her Ghost and then

Diessa Lowlands, make your way to the tar pit in the northern section of
the area and enter the gate to the Flame Temple Corridor. The urn with
Althea's Ashes is in the northeast section of the zone, but this place is
literally crawling with high-level charr (all lvl 7 and lvl 8, plus a few
bosses). I suggest making your way around one of the edges, attacking one
group at a time. The one good thing about this quest is that the groups are
outside the "aggravation" range of each other, so if you're careful, you'll
only have to fight one group at a time. Make your way to the northeast
part of the temple, and climb the stairs. Find the stand with her ashes and
fill the urn Duke Barradin gave you. Return the urn to Duke Barradin for

8.10 Ruins of Surmia Quests
------------------------------
- Difficulty: Moderate
- Objectives:
= Rescue the soldiers taken prisoner by the Charr
= Safeguard Prince Rurik's Life
= Free all the Ascalon Captives
= ADDED: Cross the River and open the drawbridge for Rurik and Erol
= Get to the Obelisks inside the ruined academy
= BONUS: Extinguish the Flame Temple by defeating the flame keepers
- Walkthrough: When you enter the mission, meet up with Prince Rurik and
then follow the paths northwest through some ruins. After a bit, it will
turn back southeast, so keep on following it until you get to a big
staircase. Climb the staircase and keep on following this path as it goes
around. The path doesn't split off, and after a bit, you'll fight some
Charr and eventually cross a bridge before you will climb back up a hill.
Take the path that goes up the hill and follow it down the other side.
You'll cross a river of tar, and then reach a group of prisoners. After
killing all the charr, Rurik will open the cage and free the prisoners.
After freeing those prisoners, head northwest and free two more sets of
prisoners. After freeing the third group, you'll meet up with Erol, a
captive Flaming Scepter Mage. He'll lead you up a hill to a raised
drawbridge. Rurik and Erol will wait there for you to lower the drawbridge
from the other side. After leaving them, cross the river of tar to the east
and kill the charr guarding Breena Stavinson. Once she's safe, she'll give
you the bonus and a group of Charr Ember Bearers will spawn and start
moving to a charr gate to the west of the drawbridge. Follow them, but do
not attack them until they open the gate. Once the gate is open, kill all
the Ember Bearers and Flame keepers in this area to receive the bonus.
Now return to the river of Tar and follow it around until you can climb
the shore on the north side. Incidentally, the Surmian monument from the
Cities of Ascalon quest is right here. Follow the path until you're on the
opposite side of the drawbridge and then hit the lever to open it. Rurik
and Erol will now rejoin you. Follow this path around, fighting more Charr,
until Rurik frees some Flaming Scepter mages and leads you to an area that
looks off-kilter and is slightly slanted. All you have to do here is
protect Rurik and Erol until they open the door and you complete the
mission.

- Walkthough: From where you enter the mission, head east, and follow the
mountain path east. After a short distance, the path will turn back
southeast. This next area is pretty open, but you want to head south. Keep
an eye out for Watchman Pramas. Talk to him to enable the bonus. Once he's
done talking, have someone pick up the Tome of the Fallen and make your way
west until you head back south to a mountain path that will lead you to
the Ascalon Wall. Once you reach the wall, head west along the wall, down
the stairs, and keep on heading west. Hug the southern wall. Before long,
you'll see a stairway heading down. Take the stairs and fight the Spirits
of the Fallen. Keep on fighting the Spirits of the Fallen, working your
way west, until you reach the Tome Pedestal. Place the Tome of the Fallen
on the Pedestal and talk to the old ascalon spirit to complete the bonus.
After you've completed the bonus, return to the wall, and Follow the big
road back to the start of the zone. Kill all the Charr in this area and
they will open the gate and Prince Rurik will come out and run to the door
on the wall. A short cutscene will play, where Rurik forces the overzealous
gate guard to open the door and Rurik will tell you that Stormcaller is the
only hope for Rin now and to make your way to Horn Hill. Fight your way to
Horn Hill (There's only one path with no branches) and you'll see another
cutscene where Rurik uses Stormcaller to make it rain. The advantage to
this is that it cuts the HP of all the charr in the area in half. Follow
Prince Rurik, killing all the charr along your path. Once you kill the
Charr boss, Bonfazz Burntfur, The mission is over. After the end-mission
cutscene, you will be in Yak's Bend.

= Ignite all the Storm beacons to light the way through the storm
= Find out what happened to Prince Rurik's negotiations with Dwarf King
Jalis Ironhammer

= ADDED: Bring an end to the siege of Krok's Hollow. Destroy all the
Ballistae and the forces outside the gate
= ADDED: Light the Magical Signal Beacons
= BONUS: Kill the Ice Drake
- Walkthrough: Talk to the soldier in front of you. He will hand you a torch
that someone in your party will need to carry. Light the beacon in front of
you, then head down the path, lighting all the beacons as you go (There are
a total of Seven beacons). After the last beacon is lit, you will find a
soldier near a closed gate. Give him the torch and he will open the gate
for you. Follow the path (it will only go one direction, as the turnoffs
all go to the same place) Fight your way to a closed gate. Nearby will be
a Dwarven Powder Keg Station. Pick up a powder keg and blow open the gate.
Clear this area of enemies, making sure to kill the Stone Summit Engineers
who are manning the Ballistae. Head into this area (again, there is really
only one path) until you come do a Gate with a lever. You can open it, but
don't go through it yet. Continue on a bit. There will be another path
just down from this gate with two doors that can be blown open with kegs
from a nearby Powder Keg station. Blow open the second one and talk to the
dwarf inside. He will tell you that the Stone Summit have an Ice drake that
they're planning to unleash on Grooble's Gulch and asks you if you could
kill it. (This is the Bonus). Grab another Keg and place it next to the
wooden planks/pillars in his "prison". This will blow open the snowpile
behind him, revealing a cave. Follow this cave to the end. There will be
several Frostfire Driders inside. Kill them all. At the end of the cave
will be the Ice Drake (Classified as a lvl 14 Boss). Kill him to complete
the bonus. Once he's dead, return to the gate with the lever and open it
if it hasn't been already. Follow the path, killing all the Ice Golems and
Stone Summit in the area, again making sure to kill the Engineers at the
Ballistae (You get a +2 Morale Boost for each engineer you kill btw). Once
this area is clear of enemies, you will come across Prince Rurik. Talk to
him and the Dwarven king Ironhammer. After a short cinematic cutscene, the
dwarven king will hand you a magical torch. Follow the path out the other
exit and up the hill. You will be attached by Stone Summit. Kill them all
and proceed up the hill (again, there is really only one way to go). Light
all three of the small beacons to light the larger, magical one. Once the
big beacon is lit, the mission is complete. (Thanks to Tom vd Bogaert for
this write-up)

weapon
- Walkthrough: When you enter the mission, run west and up the little dogleg
of a hill there, then turn back east and continue climbing the hill. At the
top, turn south and cross the metaled bridge. Kill the Summit Engineer
manning the ballista nearby to open the doors, then kill that small group
of Stone Summit. Follow the path east until you can turn south again. Run
south, killing all the Stone summit in your way until you come across a
door to the east, and a bridge to the west. Run across the bridge and kill
the Summit Engineer firing the ballista at the end of this path to open
the door. Return to the door and follow this new path east until you have
to turn south. Follow this path into an ice cave, and then run west until
you can back southeast and locate Rornak Stonesledge. Talk to him to
activate the bonus, and he'll follow you. Run all the way to the west side
of the cave, and keep on heading west. Shortly after the cave, there will
be a small turnoff that will keep on heading west. Take it and follow this
path until you come across an ummanned ballista. Rornak will repair it, and
use it to blow open a set of doors to the east. Return to the bridge you
bypassed earlier, and take the new path east until the end. Open the chest
here to reveal the secret Siege weapon plans. Pick up the plans and return
them to Rornak to receive the reward for the bonus. Return to the area with
the pair of Ballistae, and take the southern door, run a little further down
the path, and then take the door to the east. Follow this path until you
come across the first lever mechanism. Pick up and use the gear lever on
the lever mechanism, then kill all the stone summit here. After the door
opens, run southwest and right in front of you is the first of three lever
mechanisms. Use the gear lever on this lever mechanism, and when the gear
lever is available again, repeat the process on the remaining two lever

Mission: Gates of Kryta
- Quest difficulty: Moderate to Moderately difficult
- Received in: Gates of Kryta
- Received from: No one - Enter Mission to start
- Classes restrictions: None
- Objectives:
= Secure a safe place for your people to settle
= Make contact with the local authorities in Lion's Arch
= Head south across the beach to find Justiciar Hablion
= BONUS: Retrieve the Orrian text and have it translated
- Walkthrough: Note - this mission is somewhat different from all the
previous missions as you don't talk to an NPC to receive the bonus. Don't
worry, I will tell you how to receive the bonus XP. From where you start,
head south. After a short distance, head east down the hill, and click on
the pig "oink", to get him to follow you. (This is part of the bonus.)
Continue south until the bend, which will turn around and head north, then
turn around again and head in a southernly direction for a while. After a
bit, you will pass under a gate. Go through the gate and talk to Justicar
Toriimo. He will direct you to talk to Justicar Hablion. While you're in
this area, head southeast from Toriimo and bring the pig to Cheswick. This
is the first part of the bonus. Once Cheswick recognizes his pig, talk to
the Orrian Historian next to him, and he will tell you he needs an Orrian
Historical Text, which is the second part of the bonus. Leave this area
through the other gate and hug the mountain range on your left. You will
soon come across a bridge, connecting a small island, followed by another
bridge. Head into the water on the left of this bridge and pass under it.
Head north, staying on the river until you reach a shipwreck with a chest.
Open the chest to reveal the Orrian text that the historian was talking
about. Bring it back to the historian, but watch out for the phantoms that
emerge. They are level 17 and are VERY fond of using lightning based
magics. Once the text is back in the hands of the historian, return to the
double bridges. Head east across the double bridges and talk to Justicar
Hablion. He will tell you that the Ascalon Refugees are welcome in Kryta,
as long as you help him clear the swamps of undead. so from where you are,
head north, killing all undead that you come across. Keep on heading in
north until the road forks again, and take the right fork. Follow the path
until you find a "valley" with several little "islands" in standing water.
STAY out of the water as much as possible, as it is poisonous. Kill all
undead and head north and kill the undead there to complete the mission.

ridge. Keep on following this path until it takes you to Kessex Peak.
Follow the path through Kessex peak southwest. After travelling through the
swamp, you will come to an open area with lots of Ancient Oakhearts and
Forest Minotaurs. Carefully make your way through this area to the other
side and climb the hill. You will now see the tower. Work your way around
back down the hill, still following the path. Now this is where the quest

(This is where it get's a bit different). To complete this quest, you need
to use the signet of capture. The signet of capture follows certain rules:
1) The signet can only be used on bosses. 2) The signet can only capture
skills of your professions (E.g. An elementalist couldn't use it to capture
Distracting Shot, which is a ranger skill), and 3) The signet permanently
is replaced by that skill. To use the signet, whenever you see a boss
monster using a skill that you want to capture, kill the boss. Once the
boss is dead, activate the signet of capture. A list will pop up of all the
skills the boss knew, with the ones you already have grayed out. Choose the
skill you want to capture, and click accept. Once you have a skill captured
with the signet, return to Magi Malaquire for your reward. Note - It's
worth your while to wait until you see a boss using an elite skill of your
profession, as these are skills that can only be unlocked using the Signet
of Capture.

Mission:
- Quest difficulty:
- Objectives:
= Lend Aid to the White Mantle in their fight against the Undead
= Hurry to the Temple of Tolerance
= Discuss the undead menace with Confessor Dorian
= ADDED: Clear out the undead from the village of Hakewood
= ADDED: Protect Confessor Dorian ffrom the undead
= ADDED: Head to the southwest. Locate Dinas and the Scepter of Orr
= BONUS: Deliver the Village's offering intact to the Statue of Melandru
- Walkthrough: Follow the path that you're on across the bridge ahead and up
into the town of Hakewood. Hug the wall on your left, as there is an NPC
(Benji Makala) that needs to be rescued if you want a shot at the bonus.
This walkthrough will be written as if the bonus is accessible - but I will
point out where the two paths diverge and reconvene. Kill all the undead
within the village. If needed, there is a mending shrine in the middle of
the town which gives a health regen. Once all the undead have been killed,
talk to Gate guard Makala if Benji is still alive to have him open the gate
or talk to the regular gate guard (the more southern one) if Benji died.
The path for the mission only and the path for the bonus are not the same.
Anyways, After Gate guard Makala opens the gate for you, follow the path
in front of you down through a VERY small village, and into a swamp. After
you're in the swamp, keep on following the path (there's only one real
path to take) until you climb a hill and reach a gate in front of you and a
path leading to an altar off to your right. Send someone off to pick up the
offering from the altar, and to carry it for a while, I HIGHLY suggest one
of the spellcasters carry it. Rush down the path, and up into the building
that is ahead of you. BTW - here is where the path rejoins if your group
did not keep Benji alive and had to take the mission only path. Rush up the
stairs and into the Mending Shrine near Confessor Dorian. Fight off several
waves of undead until Confessor Dorian will allow you to talk to him. Once
Dorian is safe, follow the northwest path down, until you can turn right
and head northwest up the hill. When you reach the fork at the top, take
the left (westernmost) fork, and take the path that keeps on going up the
hill. Keep on following this path, as it really doesn't fork at all. You're
on the right track if you fight Ancient Oakhearts. Keep on going until you
see the Statue of Melandru and an Altar in front of it. Put the offering on
the altar to receive the reward for the bonus. (The Altar is called
Melandru's Offering). Now, run back down the hill. Once at the bottom, near
where you turned off for the bonus, follow the path southwest, up the hill,
and kill all the enemies there. Once everything is dead there, talk to
Dinas to complete the mission.

recommend leaving from Beetletun or Bergen hotsprings and fighting your way
to the Luxon Settlement in North Kryta Province. Regardless of where you
start from, head to the northwest end of North Kryta Province, on the path
between the Luxon Settlement and the Ascalon Settlement. Meet up with Baron
Ulrikar and follow him to the Luxon Settlement. Kill all the Luxons there.

Enter the town and talk to Justicar Hablion. He tells you to cleanse
yourself in the fountain of truth at the top of the nearby hill, and a gate
nearby opens. From Hablion, head southeast to the open gate, and fight your
way up the hill. To Cleanse yourself, simply walk into the fountain. Make
your way back to Hablion and pick up the eye. Talk to all the villagers in
the town, but only one of them is going to be a chosen. Talk to the gate
guard at the closed gate to open the way forward. Stay on the path, and
follow it around until you have to cross a rather large bridge. Cross it
quickly, as there is someone you need to save on the other side. Once he's
Safe, talk to him to get the bonus opened. Take the path to the south to
pick up the third chosen (There are five total.) Pick him up, then return
to the bridge and take the path to the southwest. When you reach the top,
take the path to the south again and follow it around to the west to pick
up the fourth chosen. Follow the path until you reach the town, and then
turn west. Move quickly, as the fifth and final chosen is right there and
gets attacked and killed easily. Once you have him, continue west along the
path down into the swamp. Keep on following the path, as it doesn't fork
until you reach the village of Loamhurst. Talk to Lionguard Minah to
deliver the chosen and get the reward for the bonus, then place the eye on
the glowing altar to finish the mission.

8.27 The Wilds Quests
---------------------------
Mission:
- Quest difficulty: Moderate
- Objectives:
= Hunt down the Shining Blade kidnappers, and rescue the chosen they have
taken hostage.
= Chase the fleeing Shining Blade.
= Rescue the Chosen.
= Discover how the Shining Blade Navigate the jungle.
= BONUS: Defeat the two Centaur chieftains.
- Walkthrough: When you enter the mission, head due north until you reach a
small area with an entangling roots monster. From here head east, and you
will find yourself in an area with three paths to take. Take the southeast
path (the leftmost), and follow it for a ways. Eventually, it will turn
west. Follow it due west until you see a pair of centaurs. DON'T attack
them. Let them talk to activate the bonus, then kill them and pick up the
vine seed that drops. Follow the path that leads northeast, and keep on
following it until it turns back southeast, and you arrive back at the
area with three forks, only this time coming from the northwest fork. From
here, take the central path, and follow it until you get a cutscene. From
where you exit the cutscene, run northeast up the hill. Keep on heading
north by northeast until you come across a small path heading east (It's
a little tricky to find sometimes.) Follow this path to the end, and drop
the vine seed in the glowing circle to grow a vine bridge. Cross the bridge
and head south, down the hill, and keep on heading south. Kill the two
Centaur bosses at the top of the southern hill to get the reward for the
bonus. Kill the two in the valley below the hill just for good measure and
the morale boost. Anyways, once you have the reward for the bonus, return
to the vine bridge, cross it again, and head west. Keep on heading west,
following the path, until you cross a vine bridge. Keep on going west once
you're across the bridge, following the path west until it curves under a
log bridge. Climb up the hill, but instead of taking the log bridge across,
take the other path east (it's the southern one.) Follow this more or less
northwest until you see a path cutting back northeast (it's right where you
fight another entangling roots.) Run down this path, taking either fork as
they all lead to the same location, until you find yourself running in the
lagoon waters (they give a nice +1 health regen). When you can turn south
along the lagoon waters, do so. (You'll be passing under a canopy and
having to fight the Maguuma Spiders). Follow this river south until you
can turn right (southwest) and then take this path. Follow south by
southwest until you reach another cutscene. Run down this path and kill
all the Maguuma spiders here to finish the mission.
- Reward: 1,000 XP and one Skill Point, plus 1,000 XP if bonus complete
- Additional quests unlocked: None
Mission:
- Quest difficulty: Moderate
- Objectives:
= Seek the truth about the White Mantle.
= Locate Blade Scout Ryder. He'll take you to the Bloodstone.
= Use the Vine Bridges to traverse the jungle.
= ADDED: Travel to the Bloodstone on your own.
= ADDED: Avenge the Chosen by killing Justiciar Hablion and his personal
guards.
= BONUS: Awaken the Druids while preserving their guardians.
- Walkthrough: When you enter this mission, run along this path in a more
or less westerly direction until you come across Saidra. She'll give you
a vine seed. Drop it on the glowing circle to grow a vine bridge. Run
across the bridge and keep on running southwest until the path starts
turning north (you'll go down a small hill). When you can do so, turn back
south, and follow this path down into the valley. (the path kinda curves,
what you're doing is running along the southern border of the map. Run west
until you have the choice of heading east up a log bridge, or running
southwest to what looks like an altar. Head east first, and pick up a vine
seed from a nearby shrub, then run southwest to the altar, and drop the
seed on the altar to summon the a druid. The druid will activate the bonus,
and cause a vine bridge to grow. Cross it. Now this is important - do not
attack any of the jungle guardians. Everything else is fair game, but the
Jungle Guardians must stay alive. Now, once you cross the bridge, run north
along this path until you reach a group of vine seed trees. Have people
start grabbing seeds. There are three more altars in this area that need
to have seeds dropped on them. I'm not going to give you exact directions,
just know that they're in the general area of the Jungle guardians as well.
Now, Once all four of the druids are around the big central altar there,
drop a vine seed on the altar to summon the high druid. Talk to him to
receive the reward for the bonus. From here, run north, then east, and
climb down a big tree to the swamp below. From here, run back east, picking
up vine seeds and placing them on the glowing circles when necessary. It's
a windy road here, but the directions is easterly. After a ways, you'll
come to an island that you'll need a vine seed to get to, then another to
get off. From here, Keep on running east. After running east a ways, the
path will turn back south (after you've fought some white mantle). This
path has no turnoffs, so just follow it until you reach the cutscene.
Once the cutscene is over, run to one side of the bloodstone, and start
picking off the while mantle on the bloodstone (Note - it takes longer to
res if a person dies on the bloodstone.) Now, you don't want to take on
the whole bloody mob, so here's what you do. You run up one side and take
out a group of 2-3, then run to the other side and do the same thing. By
this point, you should only have a final group of 2-3, plus Justiciar
Hablion. Just go up and kill them all. Once all the White Mantle on the
Bloodstone are dead, the mission will be over.

Mission:

- Objectives:
= Gain access to the Henge of Denravi
= Get to the Henge portal.
= Attune the Henge Portal before the White Mantle do.
= ADDED: Attune the Thorn pedestal to Clear the Vine gate.
= ADDED: Attune Both thorn pedestals to clear the vine gate.
= ADDED: Kill the Henge Guardian.
= BONUS: Assassinate the Demagogue.
- Walkthrough: When you enter the mission, head south, and then turn east.
Keep on following this path southeast until you pass beneath the roots of
a tree. Keep on going southeast until the path turns back west on you.
Keep heading west until you see a pair of paths in front of you. You want
to take the southern one. Go down the hill here and stay on this path until
it turns back west again, under another tree, where you will see a druid
near a thorn pedestal, and an altar. Talk to the druid, pick up the crystal
that appears, and place it in the altar to open the vine gate blocking your
way. Follow this path for a ways (it's going to wind a lot), and after a
while, you'll come to a section where your going straight north. You'll
start fighting a lot of white mantle. When you reach a point where you have
to turn east or west, head west, and move quickly to save a guy called
Less Longbow. Talk to him once he's safe and you'll activate the bonus. He
will tell you to assassinate the Demagogue. Take the eastern path from this
area and keep on heading east. Once again, talk to the druid here, and put
a crystal on each of the altars to open this vine gate. Now comes the fun
part. What you need to do is attune the western altar with a crystal, and
attune the eastern altar as well. Now defend the Eastern Altar until there
are no more white mantle coming. Re-attune this altar as needed. Once
all the white mantle are dead, venture into their base (southeastern end)
and kill the demagogue to get the bonus reward. Once all the white mantle
have been killed and you've gotten the bonus, attune all three altars. Once
all three altars have been attuned, you'll see a short cutscene where you
are teleported to another area. From here, run east, killing everything in
your path. After a little ways, you'll reach a pool guarded by a pair of
behemoths and the Henge Guardian. Kill the henge guardian to complete the
mission.

8.33 Henge of Denravi Quests

Quest: Passage through the Dark River
- Quest difficulty:
- Received in: Henge Of Denravi
- Received from: Shadow
- Classes restrictions: None
- Walkthrough: Talk to Shadow in the Henge of Denravi to receive this quest.
Head out into Tangle Root. Head Southeast through Tangle Root. Talk to Old
Joness and tell him that you can leave anytime. He will take you to
riverside. Talk to Blade Master Derrik to receive you reward.
- Reward: 500 XP, Focus Item (Energy +10, Req. 8 Healing Prayers)
- Additional quests unlocked: None.
Mission:
- Quest difficulty:
- Objectives:
= Steal the Scepter of Orr
= Avoid detection on your way to the temple.
= Talk to Dinas to get the scepter.
= Escape to the bridge to the northeast.
= BONUS: Take out the watchman at each tower, so Saidra can get the weapons
through.
- Walkthrough: From where you start, head south. If you are attempting the
bonus, attack the white mantle, making sure to kill the watchtower guards.
If you're not attempting the bonus, Simply avoid the White Mantle, taking
the southwest path is the easiest to do. Regardless of whether your doing
the bonus or not, make your way south to a cave that is southeast of the
first watchtower, and you'll fight a few undead. Once you leave the cave,
hug the right wall until you get onto a small hill close to a second
watchtower, but still outside of aggro range. Slowly inch your way to the
watchtower, and pretty soon the big group of white mantle nearby will start
moving towards the watchtower. Sneak by them and turn north. Head north
along this path, killing or sneaking by the white mantle as you see fit.
Keep on following this path until you start fighting undead. You'll soon
come across a more open area. While this looks a bit confusing as to which
way to go, it's really not, as there's only one real path that leads you
further. Run northeast, killing the bosses to the northweast and northeast
as you see fit (You will not always be able to sneak by the boss to the
northeast.) Continue making your way roughly northeast, and you'll soon be
at the White Mantle Temple. For those doing the bonus, another watchtower
is in the valley below the temple. Make your way to the temple gates and
kill or avoid the white mantle there. Anyways, once you're in the temple,
make your way to Dinas in the northeast corner of the temple, and talk to
him to get the scepter of orr. After the short cutscene, you'll find
yourself in front of a gate. Click the lever to open it, and take the left
path. Avoid the white mantle there, and continue your way down the path.
You'll fight some more undead, and when you come to a more open area, turn
left and head northeast. You'll fight another small group of undead, and
after them, continue hugging the left wall to sneak by another watchtower.
Make your way north, coming VERY close to a group of hill giants. Kill
them or avoid then, and turn northeast. This, even if your doing the bonus,
can get very tricky. What you want to do is sneak between the two towers
ahead, avoiding both groups of White Mantle, and killing the boss that is
guarding the entrance to the bridge. Once he's dead and you get the
Scepter across the bridge, the mission is over.
NOTE - The bonus for this mission is different from other missions, instead
of avoiding the watchtowers, the bonus involves killing all the watchtower
guards, which means killing all the nearby white mantle as well.
- Reward: 1,000 XP and one Skill Point, plus 1,000 XP if bonus complete
- Additional quests unlocked: None
Mission:
- Quest difficulty: Moderately Hard
- Objectives:
= Deliver the Scepter of Orr to Vizier Khilbron and rendezvous with
Evennia on the other side of the island.
= Locate the Vizier and deliver the scepter
= Make your way to the docks on the opposite side of the island.
= ADDED: You have been betrayed! Evennia has been taken. Meet the vizier
at the docks to make your escape.
= ADDED: Defend the Vizier while he casts the ritual.
= BONUS: Help the restless spirit find his final resting place.
- Walkthrough: Once you enter the mission, get off the boat and talk to
Evennia to pick up the scepter of orr. Once someone has it, head south-
east through the pass there to another beach. BTW - whoever is carrying
the scepter gets a +1 energy regen, and if it is ever dropped, everyone in
the immediate area gets +10 to their energy total. Once you get to the
southern beach, head east along the water until you reach a restless spirit
Talk to him to start the bonus. Once you have the Spirit in tow, return to
the river, and follow it north until you reach a fork, with a path heading
uphill on both sides. Take your pick, and when you reach the top, continue
heading north. Keep on following the path as it heads back down until it
turns east, and keep following it. When you reach a turn where you have to
go left or right, head right, and follow the path, turning right at the
next path and you should see some hellhounds. Follow the path, turning
right at the next junction to head into a swamp. Be careful, the swamps
waters are poisonous. Cross the swamp once it's clear, and fight Rotscale,
the bone dragon boss on the other side. Open the gate here, and head south
to the building on the top of the hill. The Vizier will appear once you
near the building. Talk to him to activate the cutscene. He will take the
scepter. Talk to the restless spirit again to get him to follow you without
the scepter. Head back north, and this time, take the gate that is more
northeast. Follow this path until it turns north, then keep following it.
You'll know you're on the right track if the Vizier pops up and says stuff
to you. When you reach a junction, take the path on the right, it's usually
guarded by a boss. Follow this path until you reach another junction, then
take either path, as they both let you out at the same point. As you near
the docks, just fight off waves of white mantle while the Vizier raises
the boat. Once the boat it up, you can try to get the ghost to the his
final resting place, but since the waves of white mantle come from off-map
and keep on coming, it's going to be tough. Once the Boat is up, just have
someone run on the boat to complete the mission.

The Next three quests are not really "quests" in the sense that they will not
show up on your log, but they are required to gain entrance to the mesa at
Augury Rock, and thus complete the goal of Ascension. I am giving them names
only for the purpose of separating and clarifying them. In at least one case,
these lead to missions that you must complete before you can enter the Mesa
and continue with ascension.
Quest: "Seek out the Thirsty River"
- Quest difficulty: Moderately Difficult

- Received from: Lord Valador

reach the Thirsty River. Enter the Thirsty River and Complete the mission

Quest: Dunes of Despair

assist Turai Ossa in infiltrating the Temple of Ascension and Garnering
the attention of the gods. Head back into the Main part of Augury Rock and
travel southwest until you get to Vulture Drifts. Continue to the Southwest
portion of Vulture Drifts and you will soon see the portal to the Dunes of
Despair Mission area. Enter the Area and complete the mission inside.
Quest: Elona Reach & The Vision Crystal

reassemble the Vision Crystal. Head back into the main part of Augury Rock
and travel out the gate to Skyward Reach. Travel Northeast until you see
the portal for Diviner's Ascend. Enter the Diviner's ascend and travel
north until you see the portal for Elona Reach. Enter the area and complete
the mission inside.
Each of those three quests will lead you to a particular mission, which you
MUST complete before you can continue on. Once all three quests have been
completed, talk to the great ritual priest Zahmut again and he'll send you
back to the mesa. Walk forward and step on each of the three runes by the
water. The mesa will then open and you'll have to fight your mirror. He uses
the EXACT same skills you do, but I believe he has more HP and more Energy,
plus, since they're run by the computer, they're a bit faster. However, the
mirror has a pattern. They'll use defensive enchantments first. Below are
some strategies for beating your mirror with different classes. These are not
the only way to beat your mirror, but have been shown to work.
Warrior -
Ranger - Load up on Spirit summoning skills, leaving only a few damaging
skills (Distracting shot is a good one). Make sure the skills that damage your
opponent can do a fair amount of damage. Once battle starts, the mirror will
start summoning those spirits, use this time to kill them.
Monk - Take Healing Breeze (the mirror doesn't use it), and Balthazar's Aura.
Load up on spells that require them to be cast on others, or just leave the
rest of the bar blank. As soon as you get to the mesa, cast healing breeze on
yourself, and balthazar's Aura, then just attack your mirror. It won't use
healing breeze or Balthazar's aura. Keep on attacking it, using Healing
Breeze when needed and you should make short work of your mirrorwww
Elementalist - Two words ... Meteor Shower. Remove ANY anticaster spells from
your bar and as soon as the battle commences cast meteor shower on your mirror
as they really won't move. Cast other spells to hasten the process. Obviously,
this strategy works well for fire-based Elementalists, but at this point, it
won't take you long to recoup the attribute refund points, so I recommend max-
ing out fire magic for the duration of this battle.
Necromancer - Max Blood Magic and carry awaken the blood and Order of the
Vampire, and if you want, Blood Renewal (though this can backfire if you're
not careful). Don't cast any of these yourself, but just attack the
doppleganger with your weapon. He'll cast awaken the blood, which will double
all health sacrifices, and he'll keep on casting order of the vampire, which
will end up killing him.
Mesmer - Load up on Domination magic and zero everything else. Equip Backfire,
and a bunch of basically ineffective illusion and inspiration spells. (btw,
raising fast casting also helps here). Cast Backfire on the doppleganger and
let him kill himself through casting spells through backfire.

reached Droknar's Forge. Talk to Telius in Seeker's Passage to receive
this quest. Head out into the Salt Flats and make your way towards the
entrance to Diviner's Ascent (It's east from Seekers, Turn north, and then
turn back east at that big gate-thing.) Pick off EVERY enemy on the way, as
you will probably need a lot of running room if things go sour. Once you
get to your destination, you will see a huge mob of Rider Kin. I recommend
getting the outlying groups first, then picking them off in groups of 2 or
3. If you accidentally aggro a group of 5 or 6, run away until they return
to patrol, or they're the only ones in aggro range. Keep up this strategy
and eventually, all the other rider kin will be taken care of. Now just
kill the boss, and map travel back to Seeker's Passage and talk to Telius
for your reward.

suggest taking on a group at a time, then retreating to regenerate, then

Head south from his location to the entrance to the Arid Sea. (I also
managed traveling northeast from the Dunes of Despair). Regardless of which
way you get to the Arid Sea, once you're there, you want to make your way
to the southeast end of the area. I'm not going to give very specific
directions for this one, since I prefer to avoid a lot of the enemies in
these zones. Once you get close, however, you'll be travelling between a
lot of rocky formations. You want to head to one that is a little more east
than the others, it will look as if a large statue arm has fallen and made
a bridge between the mountain that you want, and the one you can climb.
It takes a little bit of wiggling, but you can cross over that arm. Locate
and talk to Siliss Yassith for you reward

8.43 Thirsty River Quests
---------------------------
Mission:
- Quest difficulty:
- Objectives:
= Annihilate the Opposing enemy teams.
= Defeat Goss Aleesh's Team.
= Defeat Issah Sshay's Team.
= Defeat Hessper Sassos's Team.
= Defeat Josso Essher's Team.
= Defeat Lyssha Suss's Team.
= Defeat Kesskah Shissh's Team.
= BONUS - Cleanse the area before King Khimaar's spirit is driven away.
- Walkthrough: This mission is actually very straightfoward. There are NO
turnoffs of any significance, and there's only one path to take. When you
enter the mission, head south. Kill the giants off to the west if you
choose, but I usually don't. You get enough of a morale boost off of the
giants on the path and fighting the bosses to max your morale. Anyways,
whenever your done killing giants, take the path that heads south, and
follow it around until you reach a small oasis. I suggest killing the
Giants here. Whenever your ready, take the path heading up into what looks
to be a ruined ship, and have someone talk to the ghostly hero. I suggest
having a monk talk to the hero. Have the hero open the door, and then take
the north path, then pick off the small patrolling groups. At or around
1:30, have someone take out the enemy priest, because the groups res at
2 minutes intervals (2, 4, 6, and so on). I'll leave the strategy here to
you. After the first group is annihilated, lead the ghostly hero to the
closed door, and he'll open it for you. Follow this path to another door.
This time, you have to fight two groups. It doesn't matter which one is
first, but you don't want to have to fight both at the same time. I
suggest taking out the southern group first, so stay against the southeast
(left) wall. as long as you hug the wall, you'll be ok. Once this group is
dead, repeat the process for the other. Again, about 30 seconds before the
group is supposed to res, kill the priest. This time, wait til the timer
reaches 15 seconds before the res time and engage the second group. After
both groups are dead, the ghost will open the closed door, and follow this
path to the final door. This time, you'll be facing three groups. I suggest
going right this time, as you'll come out on a relativetly unprotected
priest. Kill this priest, then the boss, and then all the random monsters
in the area. Once again, wait for 3:45 to attack the next group, and
repeat the process. Now, I left Josso's group last for a reason. Josso is
the monk boss on this mission. You'll want plenty of room since most groups
have to pull back a bit and pick off the enchanteds and forgottens first.
Once enough of the goons are killed, EVERYONE goes on the priest OR josso.
Alternatively, you can put one person on the priest and five people on the
boss to mix things up. Anyways, once all three groups have been killed, the
Mission is complete. If you manage to kill all three groups before 10 min
have elapsed (in each fight, not cumulative), you'll receive the bonus as
well.
- Reward: 1,000 XP and one Skill Point, plus 1,000 XP if bonus complete
- Additional quests unlocked: None
Mission:
- Quest difficulty:
- Objectives:
= Help the Ghostly Hero complete the ritual that will combine the three
pieces of the Vision Crystal.
= Return Crystal Shard 1 to the Ghostly Hero.
= Return Crystal Shard 2 to the Ghostly Hero.
= Return Crystal Shard 3 to the Ghostly Hero.
= ADDED: Kill the Sand Giants to get a morale boost.
= BONUS: Use the Crystal Shards to awaken the three Ritual Priests of Elona.
- Walkthrough: Once you enter the mission, talk to the ghost in front of
you to pick up the first vision crystal. Look to the east to see a pair
of dune Burrowers, guarding a set of bones. Carry the vision crystal there
to activate the bonus. Once the ghost has been resurrected, make your way
east to the ghostly hero, where you'll get a cutscene. Once the cutscene's
over, climb the stairs and head out the southern gate of this little area.
You'll see a bridge to the southeast and a pass to the south. Head for the
pass and turn back east. The second vision crystal is just south of this
area. Take out small groups of three at a time until you have the crystal.
once you have the crystal, return to the fork in the pass. This time, go
west, and carry the crystal to Priest Hehmnut's Bones to resurrect this
ghost. Go to the end of the path, and pull small groups to clear the area.
Turn west again and work your way to a small grotto where a boss and the
third crystal reside. Kill everyone here, and pick up the third crystal.
Once you have the third crystal, make your way north, hugging the west
walls until you come across another grotto with the bones of the third
and final priest. Get the crystal close enough to res him, then return the
remaining two crystals back to the ghostly hero to complete the mission.

8.45 Dunes of Despair Quests

Mission:
- Quest difficulty:
- Objectives:
= Help the Ghostly Hero reclaim his throne.
= Escort the Ghostly Hero to the Temple of Ascension.
= Defeat the Ghostly Hero.
= Hold out while the Ghostly Hero performs his ritual.
= BONUS: Gain more glory by defeating the three generals in their fort.
- Walkthrough: Once you enter the mission, have someone talk to the ghostly
hero to get him to follow you. He'll lower the bridge, and once it's down,
run west, turning south when you can. Follow this path around, killing
theg Losaru as necessary, until you reach a raised bridge, guarded by a
Siege Wurm on the other side. Lead the Ghostly hero to the bridge, and
he'll lower this one. (Note - occasionally it glitches, so you'll have to
run a little further west and cross the rope bridge and double-back to kill
the worm.) Anyways, once the bridge is down, kill the wurm if you want,
then run south to the nearby fort. You'll have to kill a forgotten boss.
Once the boss is dead, lead the ghost to the bridge and have him lower this
one. It helps to have the spellcasters and people with ranged attacks kill
the enchanted bows on the two hills to either side first. Once you lower
the bridge, have a warrior stand in the doorway while the enemies come and
attack you. Once they're all dead, kill the enemy ghostly hero, and lead
your ghostly hero to the altar. Once the ghostly hero reaches the altar,
a ten minute timer begins. You have to keep the ghostly hero alive for ten
minutes, and the enemies will come from three sides. Now, if you want to
try for the bonus, head out the south exit from the fort. There are three
groups of enemies, each with a boss. You'll fight one immediately out of
the fort, then two more (one to the left, and one to the right) inside of
another small fort. I recommend leaving someone capable of healing the
ghost behind, and sending five people ahead to clear out the bonus. Be
careful, as the bonus here is relatively difficult. You'll have a very
short time to kill three groups of bosses, and the jade scarabs make it
harder. Anyways, if you manage to kill all three groups before the time
runs out, you'll earn the bonus reward. As long as the ghostly hero and at
least one member of your party is alive at the end of the ten minutes timer
the mission will be completed.

8.46 The Dragon's Lair Quests
------------------------------
Mission:
- Quest difficulty:
- Objectives:
= Gain audience with the prophet Glint.
= Defeat the Facet of Light.
= Defeat the Facet of Nature.
= Defeat the Facet of Chaos.
= Defeat the Facet of Darkness.
= Defeat the Facet of Elements.
= Defeat the Facet of Strength.
= BONUS - Defeat Glint.
- Walkthrough: Note - This mission really doesn't need a walkthrough, but I'm
writing one for completeness anyways. This mission can be divided into 7
"boards" if you will, each with a different disadvantage. Start by talking
to the forgotten gatekeeper in front of you. He'll open the gate to the
first domain - the domain of light. This domain features a constant -3
health degeneration. There are no turnoffs in this domain. When you get to
the end, you'll fight the facet of light, a monk boss from which you can
use a capture signet to get the Shield of Regeneration elite skill. Once
the facet is dead, go throught the portal to find yourself in the Domain of
Nature, where everyone is slowed. This zone has a small turnoff, but here's
what you do. Follow the wall on your left until it turns away from the path
you're on, and then follow it. Continue to Work your way to the end and
kill the Facet of Nature, a ranger boss from which you can capture the
elite skill Melandru's Resilience. Head through the portal that appears to
find yourself in the domain of Chaos which, for a change, has no negatives.
This domain has a few turnoffs. Go straight ahead (southeast) and keep on
going this direction until you the path your on curves to the north, and
keep on following it until it drops you out on a big open area that looks
kind of maze-like. Work your way around until you reach the Facet of Chaos
which is a mesmer boss from which you can capture the Mantra of Recall
elite skill. Enter the portal (once the facet is dead), to find yourself in
the domain of darkness, which features a -1 energy drain and a permanent
Death nova on every creature (which does 26 AoE damage and poisoning for
15 seconds.) This domain does not have any turnoffs, so work your way to
the end and defeat the Facet of Darkness, a Necromancer boss from which you
can capture the Grenth's Balance Elite skill. Run through the portal to
enter the domain of Elements, which doesn't have any global disadvantages.
Rather, this domain has circles which will cast AoE spells on anyone caught
inside them. The trick is to run through them as quickly as possible, or
time them so that you run through as one spell is ending. This domain has
a few turnoffs, so when you're able, run west along the path there. When
you reach a turn, take the right fork and follow this path, taking the
right fork again when it splits off. Once you're on this path, follow it
until you reach the big open area that you're familiar with by now. Work
your way to the end and kill the Facet of Elements, an Elementalist Boss
from which you can capture the Elite spell Lightning Surge. Run through
this portal to find yourself in the domain of strength, which knocks you
down every thirty seconds or so. Pick a path, because in this domain,
there are no real turnoffs. Work your way to the end and kill the Facet
of Strength, a warrior boss from which you can capture the elite skill
Gladiators Defense. Once the portal appears, run through it to find
yourselves in Glint's Chambers. Listen to her ramble through the cutscene
and then you have to make a choice. Bonus or No bonus. If you're not going
to do the bonus, simply run through the portal that appears to finish the
mission. If you're going to do the bonus, grab a dragon egg. Glint will
start attacking you. If you manage to kill her, you'll get the bonus. If
not, don't worry, she'll resurrect your entire party, lecture you, and
send you on your way, completing the mission.
- Reward: 1,000 XP and one Skill Point, plus 1,000 XP if bonus complete
- Additional quests unlocked: None
Note - once you get to Droknar's forge, Certain quests in Hero's Audience,
Seeker's Passage, and Destiny's Gorge become available for you to change your
secondary profession. I have noted this restriction in the walkthrough for
these quests. Please remember that you will only receive four of the six
quests as you will not receive a quest for your primary or secondary classes.
However, you can switch your secondary class at any time after completing the
quest. Simply go to one of the ghosts that gave you the quest and tell them
what you want to become. The downside to this is that you will not receive
any of the skills for the new secondary profession that you have not already
unlocked with that character. They would have to be bought using valuable
skill points. On the other hand, the ability to switch classes is a fairly
useful ability to have.

Kneel at the altar in Droknar's forge near the entrance to the group PvP
Arena. Talk to the Vision of Glint that appears to receive this quest. The
simplest option is to map travel to Granite Citadel, if you have it on the
map and leave from there, but if you don't, here's the order of the zones
you will have to travel to to get there - Head to Iron Mines of Moladune
and head out into the Frozen forest. Travel west through the Frozen Forest
until you reach Copperhammer mines. Once there, head north through
Spearhead Peak until you reach the Granite Citadel. Head through Tasca's
Demise (The zone at the north exit of Granite Citadel), and make your way
NE to Mineral Springs. At this point, the phrase of the day is "Take it
Nice and slow". Take the east path in Mineral Springs and follow it until
you reach very east end of the zone. You're looking for the titan boss,
Evirso Sectus. Find him, Kill him, then return to the vision of Glint for

all, and continue east, where you will soon find King Adelbern, two guards
and a priest. You have to keep King Adelbern alive for this quest. He'll
engage groups of Armageddon lords (Titans). What you have to do is kill
five groups (The Armageddon Lords, the Charr lords, and the sparks of the
Titans). Once five groups are dead, you can leave King Adelbern and return
to the Vision of Glint for your reward.

- Walkthrough: Talk to the Vision of Glint to receive this quest. From here,
Map travel back to the Henge of Denravi and get a group together. Head out
into Tangle Root and meet up with Evennia and the Shining Blade. The goal
for this quest is to withstand a brief, but intense, Titan attack. I
recommend attacking the titans in this order: "xxxx-born" titans, followed
by the Wild growths (which spawn three "xxx-born" titans), then the rotting
Titans. After a short while, a titan boss will appear. Kill him to trigger
the quest update, then kill any remaining titans that are left standing.
Once all the titans are dead, report back to the Vision of Glint for your

- Walkthrough: Talk to the Vision of Glint to receive this quest. From here,
map travel back to Lion's Arch and talk to Firstwatch Sergio. He'll tell
you to talk to someone outside in North Kryta Province, then meet up with
Captain Greywind near the Ascalon Settlement. Ignore him. Map travel over
to the Temple of Ages and get a group of eight REAL PEOPLE together. (This
strategy will only work with real players, not henchmen.) Head out of the
temple into the black curtain and make your way to the Cursed lands. Keep
on heading east until you get to Nebo Terrace and make your way to Bergen
Hot springs (to clear any DP). If you don't have DP or don't need to reset
any skills, keep on heading east until you get to the portal for North
Kryta Province. Make your way through the ascalon settlement, and once
through it, make your way back SW until you reach Captain Greywind. Talk
with him, then fight off a few small groups of Titans and Wild Growths. I
recommend fighting titans in this order: "xxxx-born titans", then growths,
then finally any remaining titans. After a little time, that area will be
safe, and you have to run back to the settlement and defend it. You'll be
fighting several small groups of titans that don't give you a lot of time
in between to recharge. After a while of fairly intense combat, your quest
will update, and you can return to talk to the Vision of Glint for your
reward.

- Walkthrough: Talk to the Vision of Glint to receive this quest. Map travel
back to Grendich Courthouse in the Ascalon area. Talk to Warmaster Labofski
once you get here. From here you can do one of two things, get a party
together here (where it's a max of four people) or Travel to Yak's Bend and
make your way through the Ascalon foothills with a party of six. Whatever
you choose to do, once you have your party, make your way out into the
Diessa Lowlands and up to the Flame Temple Corridor. Make your way through
the Flame Temple Corridor (killing the souped-up charr that get in your
way) until you reach the Dragon's Gullet. Once in the Dragon's gullet, make
your way west, until you can run north through the small tar lake. Do so,
and turn east once you're on the other side. Make your way towards the
green arrow and you'll soon see three very large titan bosses. The good
news is that these titans are easier than regular titans, as they don't
spawn any risen hulks or hands/fists of the titans once they die. The BAD
news is that they have a lot of things protecting them. I recommend making
a large sweep of the tar lake, killing off the patrollers as you go. Once
you're clear enough to take out the titan's, do so. Once all three titans
are dead, return to Droknar's Forge and talk to the Vision of Glint for
your reward.

Mission:
- Quest difficulty: VERY difficult
- Objectives:
= Rescue Evennia
= Find a way into the holding area.
= Break Evennia out of her cell.
= Escape with Evennia to the awaiting ice ship.
= BONUS: Return news of Rornak Stonesledge to Hamdor Greataxe.
- Walkthrough: Note - unless you are infused, avoid the mursaat on this
mission (for what infusion is, see the next walkthrough.) Anyways, once you
enter the mission, run north, avoiding the mursaat. When you can safely do
so, run east to a little path up a hill, where there's a stone summit boss.
Kill him and continue following the path down. Follow the northern path
west for a bit until you have the choice of crossing a bridge or going
down to a frozen river. Run down onto the frozen river and start taking out
the roving groups of Stone Summit. Leave the summit engineers until last,
as they're not attacking. Once this area is clear, follow the river north
to another Ballista. Kill the Stone Summit here, then fire the ballista to
start the cutscene (and eliminate the white mantle Ballistae). Once the
cutscene is over, run back to the metal bridge and cross it, running north.
Head all the way north until you come across a locked gate to the east, and
a dwarven powder keg station to the west. (There is another gate a little
further south, but unless you're infused this is going to be tough to get
through.) Run west, pick up a powder keg, and use it to blow open the door
to the east. Run into the cave, turning south when you can. After a little
ways, you'll see some Mursaat Elementalists guarding a path off to the
right. Avoid them. Continue moving southwest until you see an exit for the
ice cave you're in and a turnoff back to the right. Turn off to the right,
but be prepared for a nasty fight if you're not infused. Kill off any Jades
and mursaat on this path, and you'll come to another locked door. Run back
to the Powder keg station and grab a keg (grab two if you another person in
your party and not henchmen.) Use one keg to blow open the door, and run up
this path, again, like so many times before, there are no turnoffs. Before
long, you'll come across a cell, with a captive Rornak Stonesledge. Use the
second keg (or go back and get one) to free him. Once he's free, talk with
him, then return to the fork that you took to come this way and this time,
take the exit. When you exit the cave, keep your eye out for another
short cave off to your left. Take it, and when you leave this one, run
southwest to Evennia's cell. There's another dwarven powder keg station a
little further down. Grab a keg, and use it to blow open the locked door
near the cell first. Trust me on this, it'll save time later. Anyways, once
the door is blown open, Get another keg, and use it to blow open the cell,
busting Evennia and Saidra out of jail. You'll also get another cutscene.
Now, for why we busted open the door, as soon as the cutscene is over, run
into the ice cave revealed behind the door, just don't exit the other side.
You'll soon see a whole mess of Mursaat Elementalists start to move. These
guys are a pain even if you are infused. Just let them patrol ahead. They
will even do you the favor of killing the stone summit in the way. Now,
once you're clear, leave the cave, and turn south. Where you'll find Hamdor
Greataxe. Talk to him to access the bonus. It turns out that Rornak
Stonesledge got himself caught again. But, if you followed this walkthrough
you already know that.Now to finish the mission. Follow this path north,
killing off the remaining white mantle, and if you're lucky, you'll see
all the Mursaat elementalists get blown up by the ballista fire. If not, at
least most of them get blown up, making your job a lot easier. Continue
along this path, killing all the stone summit, until you see the ice ship
at the end. Kill all the stone summit here and board the ice ship to finish
the mission.

8.49 Iron Mines of Molandune Quests
------------------------------------
Mission:
- Quest difficulty: Difficult
- Objectives:
= Kill Markis and his Jade Armor Guards
= Find the Seer
= ADDED: Kill the Eidolon
= ADDED: Deliver the Spectral Essence to the Seer to infuse your armor.
= BONUS: Defeat the inquisitor before he leaves with the information
about the Shining Blade.
- Walkthrough: When you enter the mission, run past the group of White
Mantle and Stone summit that are fighting each other to the frozen river
below. Once you're on the frozen river, run north, and keep on running
northwest until you can run up a small path to the west path the giants.
Keep on running west, following the wall on your right, killing the Giants
as needed, then turn north. Keep on running north, down this hill, until
you are running on a frozen lake. Run to the north end of the lake, then
take the path that leads up the mountains. Keep on following this path
until you're going to cross a bridge. The bridge has forks to the north
and to the east. Take the north fork and follow this path until you
cross another bridge, and see a cave to the north. You'll have to run
through or kill a fair amount of Azure Shadows. One you reach the seer,
you'll be rewarded with a cutscene, where the Seer tells you that it is
able to use the spectral essence of a nearby creature to infuse magical
protection into your armor which will help you against the mursaat. (In
game mechanics, infused armor reduces the degen from spectral agony to -3
and reduces damage taken per second to 9. These figures may be dependent on
your armor type as well.) From where you leave the Seer, follow the cave
east, ignoring the turnoff to the north. After a short distance, you'll see
the Eidolon. Kill it and return it's essence to the seer to get your armor
infused. From here, take the north path out of the cave, and follow this
path around, going through a cave, until you see Markis in a little fort-
like area to the north. Keep on running east until the path turns south
and keep on following it. After a little ways, you'll come across a bridge.
Cross it, and keep on heading south until the path turns back west. Follow
this until you see Blade Scout Ryder. Talk to him to activate the bonus.
He'll tell you that he's been interrogated by a mursaat known as the
Inquisitor, and that you have to kill him before he leaves the map. Now, if
you were good and cleared the path down already, this won't be too hard.
The Inquisitor will spawn a short distance away and run up the path you
just came down. Kill him and his guards to receive the reward for the
bonus. Now, run back to where you saw Markis at the north end of the map.
Kill off the White Mantle and Mursaat guarding both sides of the entrance,
then go in slowly. Two Jade Armors will pop out of the statues on either
side of Markis. Kill them, then kill Markis. Once Markis is dead, kill the
two Jade armors that spawn on his death to finish the mission.
- Reward: 1,000 XP and one Skill Point, plus 1,000 XP if bonus complete
- Additional quests unlocked: None
Mission:
- Quest difficulty: VERY difficult
- Objectives:
= Retake Thunderhead Keep.
= Clear the city
= Clear the fort.
= Kill Dagnar Stonepate
= BONUS: Light both of the torches in the fort to protect the dwarves
outside (Not entirely sure about the wording here).
- Walkthrough: When you start the mission, have someone talk to King Jalis
Ironhammer. I suggest that a monk be the one to do this, since generally
the king will stay near whoever talked to him. Once the gates open, run out
and head for that bridge ahead to the northeast. Rush across the bridge,
up the hill, and down the other side to the entrance to the city. To start
clearing out the city, kill the group right by the entrance, then hit the
group just west of the entrance. Run west along this path, following it
around as it turns back east. Kill the stone summit in this area, one group
at a time. Kill the patrolling group before going southeast to clear that
area. Once this area is clear, kill off the final group in front of the
battlements (It's the area with the two giant torches.) Once this last
group is dead, I strongly suggest using spells to take out the two groups
at the top of the fortress before using the king to open the gate. Once
you're ready to continue, lead the king to the door, and he'll open it.
Continue along this path (There are no turnoffs). Pick whatever path you
want for clearing the fort, but I recommend running across the east wall,
then clearing the north part. Once the north area of the fortress is clear,
run down the west wall, and use the ballistae to kill the group off to the
west. Then come back and take out Dagnar Stonepate and the stone summit
guarding the center. After they're all dead, you'll see a short cutscene,
and the siege will begin. Here's where the fun begins. There are a few
strategies that work for defending the fortress here, and which one you
use depends on who you have in your team. The strategy that I'm going to
outline here is "Defend the King". Basically, you have one person on each
side of the fort (east and west), firing the Ballistae, and when they're
attacked, they run back to the king, where the remaining six party members
are waiting. The benefit of this strategy is that it's very simple to
implement. You'll start with a wave of Stone summit and frost giants, which
will be followed by waves of White mantle and Mursaat. You'll see 2-3
bosses throughout the siege. When the King mentions that the left hand of
Grenth is coming for you, it's a sign that the siege is almost over and
that you're on the final set of waves. Keep on defending the fortress, and
eventually you'll see Confessor Dorian. Once it's safe to do so, kill him.
Once he's dead, return to King Jalis and talk to him to complete the
mission. NOTE - For the bonus, you have to light both of the torches on
either side of the fortress within a certain time frame, however, this
causes you to have to fight extra mursaat during the waves, which makes
the mission harder.

8.51 Ember Light Camp Quests
-----------------------------
Quest: Final Blow
- Quest difficulty:
- Received in: Ember Light camp
- Received from: Shadow
- Classes restrictions: None
- Walkthrough: Talk to Shadow in Ember Light Camp to receive this quest. HEad
out into Perdition Rock and travel roughly northeast. Be careful about the
hydra, as they are a meaner nastier version of what you've seen so far.
When you reach the Ether tower, I suggest running past it, staying as close
to the tower itself. Keep on following this path until it hits the "beach"
then turn east until you see the three Inner Council Members - Argyle,
Bolivar, and Cuthbert. Kill them all. Talk to Captain Grumby, and he'll
agree to take you to the Ring of Fire Island chain. Once there, talk to
Fogard Axemighty to receive your reward.
- Reward: 500 XP
- Additional quests unlocked: None
-------------------------
8.52 Ring of Fire Quests
-------------------------
Mission:
- Quest difficulty: VERY difficult
- Objectives:
= Establish a foothold on the Ring of Fire Island Chain.
= Gain access to the Citadel Guardhouse.
= Open the main gate to the Citadel Guardhouse.
= Clear the Guardhouse of Mursaat.
= BONUS: Defeat the Eidolon
- Walkthrough: When you enter the mission, wait until Brechnar Ironhammer
lures the mursaat away from the start point, then run northeast to a little
area. Wait here and slowly pick off the Mursaat and Jade armors until the
area is clear. Once it's safe to move on, take the path to the north, kill
the Ether Seal and Jade Bows on the path, and keep on moving north. Right
after the Ether seal, there is a fork. Take the left fork and keep on going
north until you have the choice of turning west and going up the hill, or
heading north and following the path back around. Take the path to the
north, and follow it around until you come to the ancient seer. Talk to him
to activate the bonus. Turns out that another eidolon is in this area. Go
back to the fork, and this time, take the path that runs east up the hill.
Head to the top, and QUICKLY cross the lava field. Here you have an option
to either fight this group and continue, or to just run past to the
cutscene. Whichever you do, once the cutscene is over, run northwest down
the hill. Here's another choice - Head east, and bust down the gate, or run
north into the hills there and take the back way. This walkthrough is going
to be written as if you are following the mission as intended and taking
the back way. Run to the north, killing the Flame spitters along the way.
Follow this path until it turns west, and keep on following it, as there
are no real turnoffs for a while. Now, once you emerge from a cave with a
lava pool, you'll see a group of Lava imps. Turn west here, but be careful
about the imps. What you want to do is run west, hopping from safe spot to
safe spot when going through the lava fields, and always fighting from the
safe spots if possible. Keep on following the path back around until you
come to a mursaat boss, a gate, and a pair of ether seals. Now, kill all
the bad guys in this area, and then head east, throught the gate, into the
back end of the mursaat stronghold. Slowly make your way, killing the
mursaat and jades in this area. Now, once the area is secure, move onto the
area that was enclosed by a ether seal and a gate. Press the lever there to
open the main gate to the south. Now, if you've destroyed enough of the
ether seals in the area, the Eidolon will appear. Kill him, then run the
essence back to the Seer to receive the bonus, and an infusion if any part
of your armor is not infused. Whenever you're ready, run across the bridge
to the south, and go through the now open gate. Kill all the mursaat here
in the guardhouse to complete the mission. (NOTE - if you bust down the
gate instead of taking the back way, you'll come out near the bridge. it's
shorter, but not as forgiving of mistakes.)
- Reward: 1,000 XP and one Skill Point, plus 1,000 XP if bonus complete
- Additional quests unlocked: None
Mission:
- Quest difficulty: VERY difficult
- Objectives:
= Open the Door of Komalie.
= Disable the seals to power down the Onyx Gate.
= Climb the path into Abbadon's Mouth.
= Break the magical seals holding closed the Door of Komalie.
= BONUS: Escort the spirit of Leah Stone to its final resting place.
- Walkthrough: From where you enter the mission, run southwest to
the wall of the mursaat fortress. Have the spellcasters clear the
patrollers on the walls before you take on the ether seal holding the
door closes. Once you're in the fort, work your way southwest to an area
guarded by a pair of ether seals with two mursaat bosses. Kill the bosses
and destroy the seals to open the way forward. Run through the now open
doorway and move forward until you see another ether seal and a gate to the
south, and a path leading north. Now, if you're going to do the bonus for
this mission, head north, and cross the lava and start working your way
southwest. Incidentally, there are a few bosses that spawn out here that
are worth killing for elite skill captures. Anywho, clear a path southwest
until you see a green area amidst the lava, and a tree growing on the top
of a hill. Now run back to the Fortress and kill your way to the docks.
Now, isn't it strange that there is an ether seal all the way out here?
Kill the seal to reveal the ghost of Leah Stone, and then talk to her to
activate the bonus. Now, the reason you killed a path to the tree is
because that's where she needs to go, and she moves really slow. Basically,
just follow her until she gets to where she needs to go, collect the
reward for the bonus, then go back to the ether seal that leads back into
the mursaat fortress. (Where you would have turned south instead of north).
Go back and kill the ether seal. In front of you will be another two
mursaat bosses. Kill them, all the mursaat around them, and take out the
ether seal to the southeast. From here, you'll be in a fairly open area.
Kill off the jade bows on either side first, then take out the ether seal.
Cross the bridge that looks like it's made of souls and take out the two
mursaat bosses guarding the ether seal. Take out the ether seal and run
down the path it was guarding. You are not at the Door of Komalie. What you
should be seeing is a bloodstone guarded by six ether seals. The actual
strategy you use here can vary, but here's one that works: Kill one seal at
a time, then kill off all the Seal guards that spawn. While you are doing
this, Mursaat guardians will spawn. Kill off all of them BEFORE taking out
another seal. Repeat this process until all six seals are destroyed. Once
the last seal is destroyed, instead of fighting seal guards, you'll be
rewarded with a cutscene. The Vizier reveals himself as the Lich, and
summons a titan to deal with you. Kill the Titan to finish the mission.
- Reward: 1,000 XP and one Skill Point, plus 1,000 XP if bonus complete
- Additional quests unlocked: None
Mission:
- Quest difficulty: VERY difficult
- Objectives:
= Stop the Lich from destroying the world.
= Disable the Titan Portals.
= Destroy the Lich.
= ADDED: Defeat Undead Rurik.
= BONUS: Destroy the Three Armageddon lords.
- Walkthrough: Note - it is HIGHLY recommended that on this mission you have
either a ranger, or a character with a ranger secondary. Have them carry
the wilderness survival spirit of Winter. Most of the monsters on this
mission are susceptible to cold damage, and winter makes all elemental
damage cold damage. I'm not going to tell you when and where to cast
winter, just recast it whenever it's ready. From where you start, run south
and keep on following this path south, even when it turns off. When the
path turns east, follow it until you can turn back south again. You will
soon reach a point where you have to turn left (Southeast) or right (west).
Turn left and make your way to the seer. Talk to him to activate the bonus,
and then return and take the west path. Follow this around to the portal
area, which has a lava pool on the east side. What you do here is pick off
the titans that spawn from the lava pool a few at a time. DO NOT attempt to
take on the entire group by yourself. Keep on picking off the titans until
they stop spawning from the lava pool. This will take a few minutes. The
Armageddon lords are also right here. Once the titans stop spawning from
the pool, pull the armageddon lords one at a time and kill them. Once all
three Armageddon lords are dead, you'll receive the reward for the bonus.
Now clear out the areas around the portals. Pull small groups, kill them,
and then pull another group. Repeat this process until every think in this
area is dead. The portals will drop when the portal wraiths are killed.
Once all three portals are down, you'll get a cutscene, and the Lich will
taunt you for a bit, and leave you with some titans and an...old friend to
play with. Kill Undead Rurik and the titans around him to receive another
cutscene. Run along this path, and you'll start to see some familiar
territory. You're back at the Door of Komalie that you opened last mission.
Well, follow what Prince Rurik says and kill the lich. Now, this is very
important, you have to kill the lich while he is standing on the
bloodstone. If you don't, he'll simply resurrect at full health. Now, the
Lich has only two real "attacks" of any relevance. One - he'll teleport
himself into the lava, and two, he'll teleport others into the lava. Now,
Once he dies on the bloodstone, the Door of Komalie will be closed and the
mission will be over. Note - you may have to kill the lich 2-3 times
because some times he resurrects even if you kill him on the bloodstone.
- Reward: 1,000 XP and one Skill Point, plus 1,000 XP if bonus complete

8.55 The Underworld Quests
-----------------------------
Note - The quests I have come across so far in the Underworld and Fissure of
Woe are more like missions, in that if your party dies, you will not resurrect
inside the area you are in, but rather back inside the Temple of the Ages.
Also, please note that both the Underworld and the Fissure of Woe are
considered extremely high-level maps.
Both the Fissure have an entry fee of one Platinum piece (or 1,000 gold) that
is paid by the leader of the party. Most groups simply split the cost and have
each member pay their portion of the fee to the person who's "leading" the
party. To enter the Underworld, have the party leader kneel (by using the
emote /kneel) in front of the statue of Grenth and then having him talk to the
voice of Grenth. You will then be teleported into the Underworld.
Also, please remember that these areas are sort of "Bonus" areas. You can only
enter the Underworld or the Fissure of Woe if your country has the favor of
the gods. You'll be able to tell when you enter the Temple of Ages if your
country has favor or not in one of two ways - you will receive a message when
you enter about which country has favor (America, Europe, or Korea), and the
statues of the gods will appear different as to whether or not your country
has the favor (Balthazar's statue will burn when your country has favor for
example). Also, since an update, it is now impossible to enter EITHER the
Underworld or the Fissure of Woe unless you have beaten the three desert
missions and ascended by fighting your mirror.

8.56 The Fissure of Woe Quests
-------------------------------
Note - The quests I have come across so far in the Underworld and Fissure of
Woe are more like missions, in that if your party dies, you will not resurrect
inside the area you are in, but rather back inside the Temple of the Ages.
Also, please note that both the Underworld and the Fissure of Woe are

is paid by the leader of the party. Most groups simply split the cost and have
each member pay their portion of the fee to the person who's "leading" the
party. To enter the Fissure of Woe, have the party leader kneel (by using the
Emote /kneel) in front of the statue of Balthazar, and having him talk to the
Avatar of Balthazar (Unsure of exact name). Your party will then be teleported
to the Fissure of Woe.
Also, please remember that these areas are sort of "Bonus" areas. You can only
enter the Underworld or the Fissure of Woe if your country has the favor of
the gods. You'll be able to tell when you enter the Temple of Ages if your
country has favor or not in one of two ways - you will receive a message when

- Received in: Grenth's Footprint
- Received from: Dwarven Prospector
- Classes restrictions: None
- Walkthrough: This quest is different from any quests that you have under-
taken before. First off, it is split into four parts. For each part of the
quest, you have to find one of the four npc's in Grenth's Footprint:
Kilroy Stonekin, Galen Trask, High Priest Alkar, and Orozar Highstone. Once
you find one, talk to them and lead them to the entrance to Sorrow's
Furnace. Once there, wait for everyone to load, then talk to them again to
receive their quest (Check below in the Sorrow's Furnace section for the
appropriate walkthrough). Finish the quest that they give you. Repeat this
process until all four quests have been completed. Once all four have
been completed, talk to the Prospector again for your reward.

8.58 Sorrow's Furnace Quests
-----------------------------
Note: Sorrow's Furnace is slightly different from other explorable zones that
you may be used to. If you come here while not on a quest, you can treat this
zone just like any other, meaning that if your party dies, you'll res at a
resurrection point with a death penalty like every other time.
HOWEVER, if you are working on one of the "To Sorrow's Furnace" quests, you
have to be careful to keep the NPC alive. If they die, your entire party will
be killed and transported back to Deldrimor War Camp, as if you were inside of
a mission.
Quest: Noble Intentions
- Quest difficulty: Very Hard
- Received in: Sorrow's Furnace
- Received from: Orozar Highstone
- Classes restrictions: None
- Walkthrough: Meet up with Orozar Highstone in Sorrow's Furnace after
talking with him in Grenth's Footprint. He'll lead you a short distance
into Sorrow's Furnace. He'll mention something about the stone summit
staying bribed...well, they won't stay bribed for long. After a little ways
you'll have to fight some stone summit, then Orozar will lead you to
a res point, where there will be a short conversation. You will then have
to fight several small groups of Stone Summit. Always target the priest of
sorrows in a group first, as they will resurrect dead summit. Once you
have cleared all the stone summit, talk to Orozar for your reward and the
next quest.
- Reward: 4,000 XP
- Additional quests unlocked: Noble Intentions Plan B
Quest: Noble Intentions Plan B
- Quest difficulty: Very Hard
- Received in: Sorrow's Furnace
- Received from: Orozar Highstone
- Classes restrictions: None
- Walkthrough: Meet up with Orozar Highstone in Sorrow's Furnace after
completing the quest "Noble Intentions". Follow him until he leads you to
Ural Highstone. They will have a short conversation, then a cinematic will
play where Ural will be bound. After the cinematic, follow Orozar until he
leads you back to the entrance to Sorrow's Furnace. This will take quite a
while, and you will be attacked by several groups of Stone Summit along the
way. Once back at the entrance, he'll tell you to drop Ural on the ground
and he will free him later. Talk to him again to receive your reward.
- Reward: 4,000 XP
- Additional quests unlocked: None
Quest: Unspeakable, Unknowable
- Quest difficulty: Very Hard
- Received in: Sorrow's Furnace
- Received from: Orozar Highstone
- Classes restrictions: None
- Walkthrough: Meet up with Orozar Highstone in Sorrow's Furnace after
talking with him in Grenth's Footprint. Follow him through the furnace a
short ways.
- Reward: 8,000 XP
- Additional quests unlocked: None
Quest: Kilroy Stonekin
- Quest difficulty: Moderate
- Received in: Sorrow's Furnace
- Received from: Kilroy Stonekin
- Classes restrictions: None
- Walkthrough: Meet up with Kilroy Stonekin in Sorrow's Furnace after
talking with him in Grenth's Footprint. He'll tell you that he wants to
kill someone called Irontoe. (Can't remember the first name). After a
short cinematic, you'll have to fight a small group of Stone Summit. This
quest/mission is really straightfoward. Basically, you follow Kilroy
Stonekin and kelp him kill all the stone summit that crosses his path until
you reach the boss at the end, and help him kill him too. Talk to Kilroy
Stonekin again when he stops to receive your reward. Note: Kilroy often
casts buffs on your party which, among other things, cause a significant
increase in movement speed. You'll want a monk to stay on Kilroy at all
times, because he won't heal himself (I suggest using healing seed or Mark
or Protection elite to keep his health up). Also, when he runs, follow him!
It is very easy for him to get out of range of the party and die before
you can help him. Keep close to him and this quest is actually fairly easy.
- Reward: 3,000 XP
- Additional quests unlocked: None
Quest: Summit Slaves
- Quest difficulty: Very Hard
- Received in: Sorrow's Furnace
- Received from: Galen Trask
- Classes restrictions: None
- Walkthrough: Meet up with Galen Trask in Sorrow's Furnace after
talking with him in Grenth's Footprint. He'll "sell" you to a stone
summit slaver. All this really means is that you can't attack the Stone
Summit and they won't attack you (at least not until MUCH later). Galen
will tell you to scout out five areas in Sorrow's Furnace: The Stone
Basilica, Darkhaven, Sorrow's Belly, the Gap, and the Iron Arch. The quests
that you receive from Krak Flamewhip a little further down in the Furnace
will take you to each of these areas. Once all five have been scouted,
return to Galen Trask for your reward. (NOTE - While you are working on
this quest, you basically have the run of most of Sorrow's Furnace. Use
this time to explore Sorrow's Furnace to your heart's content and learn how
to navigate it, as a map doesn't appear in this zone. (very similar to the
Underworld and Fissure of Woe in that regard))

Quest: Cold One
- Quest difficulty: Moderate
- Received in: Sorrow's Furnace
- Received from: Galen Trask
- Classes restrictions: None
- Walkthrough: Talk to Krak Flamewhip to receive this quest. He will hand you
a "Warm one". Down one of the paths nearby will be a group of Frost Golems.
These guys will be the friendly green that you're used to seeing by now.
Lead them to a nearby pair of smashers, just keep someone with a res spell
or rebirth, which works better for this. Lead the frost golems under the
smashers. They will drop a piece of ice for each member of your party. Pick
up all the ice that drops. In your inventory, double click each piece of
ice and apply it to the Warm one. It takes five pieces of ice to turn the
warm one into a cold one. Once you have the cold one, return it to Krak
Flamewhip for your reward.

- Walkthrough: Talk to Krak Flamewhip to receive this quest. While on the
"gathering" resources quest, you'll start seeing Burnt Corpses. That's
your cue that your on the right path. You'll also start seeing a VERY
large hole. Sooner or later, a Flame Djinn will come out of the hole. Kill
it. I recommend not using enchantments. Once the Flame Djinn is dead,
report back to Krak Flamewhip for your reward.

- Walkthrough: Talk to Krak Flamewhip to receive this quest. He'll tell you
to find and kill Molachev, a Dredge boss. I wish I could give you any
real directions for this, but just keep your eyes open, and sooner or later
you'll come across a group of Dredge's that appear as enemies. Odds are,
Molachev will be among them. Kill him, then report back to Krak Flamewhip
for your reward.

- Walkthrough: Talk to Krak Flamewhip to receive this quest. Head down a
short ways from where you are now and kill all the Rebel Spirit Keepers. In
fact, it's probably better just to kill everything that's an enemy down
in that area. Once of them will drop a TOOTHED COG. Pick it up and try it
in the gearboxes there. Sooner or later, one of them will take it. Once
the objectives have been met, return to Krak Flamewhip for your reward.

Quest: Political Ramifications
- Quest difficulty: Fairly Hard
- Received in: Sorrow's Furnace
- Received from: Tharn Stonerift
- Classes restrictions: None
- Walkthrough: Note - you cannot be working on a quest from the "To Sorrows
Furnace" or "The Final Assault" set, or you will not be able to take this
quest. A walkthrough for this quest is kind of pointless, so here's
all you have to do - Find and kill five stone summit bosses. Once five
bosses have been killed, return to Tharn for your reward. Contrary to
some popular belief, taking this quest does not reduce the number of
bosses that spawn inside of sorrows furnace. This makes this quest an
easy one to do, especially if you're doing a "quest-less" Sorrows farming
run.

quest. Talk to Molachev deep in Sorrow's Furnace to receive this quest. He
will hand you five scrolls of rebellious rhetoric. Your job is to hand them
out to friendly dredge slaves. It doesn't matter where they are, as long as
you pass them out. Once you've handed out the five scrolls of rebellious
rhetoric, return to Molachev for your reward.

- Walkthrough: Note - you cannot be working on a quest from the "To Sorrows
Furnace" or "The Final Assault" set, or you will not be able to take this
quest. What you have to find is Tasca's Axe, Compass, Map, Boots, and Pack.
These are at no specific location, but what will happen is you will fight
certain groups of stone summit. Once every member of the group is dead, a
chest will appear, which will drop one of Tasca's items for each member of
the party. Once you have all five of Tasca's items, return to Marshall
Whitman for your reward.

Quest: The Forge Heart
- Quest difficulty: Extremely difficult
- Received in: Sorrow's Furnace
- Received from: Ennis Granitestrider
- Classes restrictions: None
- Walkthrough: Talk to Ennis Graniteheart inside Sorrow's Furnace to receive
this quest. You'll now have an NPC following you that will give you dwarf
powder kegs when you need them. Lead your group down into the furnace, in
the direction of the arrow, this will take you fairly deep. Use kegs when
needed to blow open doors. After a ways, you'll see your destination, it's
a GIANT mechanical golem. I'm going to assume that your going to clear out
the patrolling enemies first. First, clear the stone summit near the golem
, then go after the furnace guardians. Watch out for the golems attacks, he
only has two, but they do hurt. First - he'll drop lava on you, and second
- he'll drop a giant metal ball on your party, causing knockdown and dmg.
Anywho, once all the various baddies are dead, EXCEPT for the rage binders,
attack and kill one of the rage binders. Here's where it gets tricky, after
the first one is dead, you'll need to split your party and take out the
other two within 30 seconds or so, because they resurrect. Once all three
Rage Binders are gone, a cinematic will play, and you'll have to fight
three flame djinn. STAY AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE for this fight. The djinn has
a very high dmg attack, but it's divided by the number of people near it.
Anyways, fight one, kill it, then lure another, and repeat process until
all three are dead. Once all three are dead, talk to Ennis Graniteheart for
your reward.

This section is updated as people send me questions about the game. I will NOT
answer any questions that are already answered in the quest FAQ.
Q - Please help, I have purchased the above game from Game and installed the
software but when I go to play I am given 2 options - 1. is enter some code
numbers which I do not have (I have looked on the disc and manuals but cannot
see anything. 2. Open an account but I am worried about doing this as I
thought there was no fee to pay.
A - There is no fee to play this game. When you purchase the game at a store,
check inside the jewel case. On the inside front cover will be the key code
that you will need to enter to complete your account registration. The opening
of a new account will allow someone on the same computer to have another
account, but I believe it charges you the one time fee for registering an
account. That fee is already paid if you purchased the game at a store.
Q - How are the number of players allowed in a group determined?
A - The amount of players in a group is determined by where you are when youc
form a group. Pre-Searing Ascalon allows a maximum of two players in a group,
Post-Searing Ascalon allows four people in a group. Once you have access to
Yak's Bend, you can have six players, and once you get past King's Tomb, You
should have a maximum party size of eight, though I have not confirmed this.
Please remember that the party size is based on where you FORM the party, not
where you have access to. For example, A party formed in Piken Square to
complete Althea's Ashes will have a maximum of four players, while a party
formed in Yak's Bend, which can complete the same quest, will have a maximum
of six players.
Q - How do I start a guild? What do I need for a cape? How do I get a guild
hall? (etc.)
A - These are asked so often in the game, I felt the need to answer them here.
You can start a guild of your own by talking to the guild Registrar in major
cities. Currently, I know of Guild Registrars in Pre & Post Searing Ascalon,
and in Lion's Arch. There are no Guild Registrars in other cities. Talk to the
Guild registrar and pay them 100 gold. You then have to determine your guild
Name, and the guild initials (which is what everyone will see when their
cursor passes over members of your guild.) Congratulations, you have founded
your own guild. You are now the guild leader and can invite/dismiss members
and or promote them to Officer. You also get access to the guild chat tab,
which allows you to have guild-only chats no matter where your members
actually are.
To get a guild cape, you need to talk to the Guild Emblemer, who is usually
found in the same general area as the registrar. I believe that only the guild
leader is allowed to create a cape. Creating the cape costs 2,000 gold, but
once the cape is paid for and created, everyone who is in your guild will have
one, as well as anyone that joins later. Capes are the easiest way for members
to recognize each other in PvP or in the PvE game world.
To get a guild hall, you need a Celestial Sigil. Sigils are only found in the
Hall of Heroes. Once you have a sigil, head to Lion's Arch and talk to the
captain at the docks. He will take you on a tour of the different islands.
After you pick out the island that is best for you, talk to the ambassador
there to petition for the island.
Q - Will this guide cover Guild Wars: Factions?
A - No. This guide will not cover content that is exclusive to Guild Wars:
Factions. I will be writing a separate guide for GWF. The only content that
regarding factions that will be in this guide are quests that are earned
and/or completed on the continent of Tyria, or what is now called Guild
Wars: Prophecies. Any quests that would cross over will be mentioned in both
guides for completeness. (However, at the time of this update, GWF has not
been released, so this is unconfirmed.)
