Which Guardian title? - Guild Wars Forums

Marverick · Nov 24, 2007, 02:29 AM // 02:29

I'm looking to get one of the Guardian titles to wrap up my People Know Me for the Rainbow Phoenix, but which one should I get?
Tyria looks really easy except for Aurora Glade, but then it's really long and most missions take >= 1 hour.
Cantha is really short, 12 missions (have one done) with most <40 minutes, but Arborstone and Raisu Palace are going to be a bitch to do.
Elona is probably out of question, it is almost as long as Tyria (actually longer for me because I have 8 Tyria HM missions done) and has some missions that are going to be a pain.. *cough* Dasha Vestibule

Which continent would you guys suggest?

actually it was easy for me(im also a ranger.) on raisu you just need something that kills with speed and run some BHA,3 monks(or N/Rts),MS/DB spammer,2 eles,rit with warmongers and it should be easy i imagine,but i did it with me being BHA,a mate being DB/Ms spammer,and the rest being sabway with no help from the 2 guys ya pick at the start

Probably Cantha since it's the shortest. Elona wasn't hard either

chowmein69 · Nov 24, 2007, 03:21 AM // 03:21

cantha is definately the easyest to do ut of all the campaigns , imo elona the hardest :P and tyria it will take time

holababe · Nov 24, 2007, 03:22 AM // 03:22

Cantha isn't that hard.
Raisu palace is NOT that hard in HM

Aera Lure · Nov 24, 2007, 03:41 AM // 03:41

Eternal Grove was maybe the hardest in Cantha, and imho one of the hardest period, though once you got it down it did go rather smoothly. Didnt really have a problem with the timed missions in general. Raisu definitely wasnt as hard as you'd think in HM. I rather enjoyed doing Cantha. Elona wasnt too bad.

Tyria was a little long. Riverside turned out to be the most annoying. One or two of the early Ascalon missions took a little adjusting due to the small party size but no problem once we did.

I suppose since you have 8 of Tyria done already I'd probably just finish that. Otherwise Cantha.

Bryant Again · Nov 24, 2007, 03:48 AM // 03:48

Tyria, because it'll give you the biggest bawls.

imo

How about Arborstone? That gave me the most trouble in NM with the environmental effect causing interrupts every few seconds and Stone Rains hitting 100+ damage, and Stone Reapers have enchantment removal in HM now. Eternal Grove was a breeze in normal mode, I guess I'll try that in HM first then.

I still have 17 missions left in Tyria and some of the Jungle ones are quite annoying. Really dreading facing Moss Scarabs. I guess I'll probably do Cantha then. I was kinda dreading Raisu Palace since Certadons were a bitch with their Sliver Armor and Shiro'ken Elementalists have it.

Yeah, we didnt have problems in Arborstone. I was a Healer's Boon monk (prior to the changes) and brought us through it ok (we were playing 2+6). NM Eternal Grove I agree not so big a deal, especially now with Heroes. Its definitely a lot harder in HM than its NM companion, relative to others. I'm still willing to call it one of the hardest of the lot of all of the HM missions, though like I say, once we dialed in on exactly how to get it, it wasnt SO bad. Certainly gave us more trouble at first than anything else.

The jungle wasnt so bad. I hated Riverside. Gah. Other than that, Tyria was just sort of long. Cantha is fun though. Raisu definitely wasnt too much of a problem. If you know it well in NM, you'll come out just fine in HM. Eternal Grove is a bit more tricky.

Good luck and have fun. The Guardian titles were my favorite in the game.

Marverick · Nov 24, 2007, 04:35 AM // 04:35

Well alright I guess I'll go for Cantha now then, thanks. I'll hit all of them eventually but I just want the Rainbow Phoenix asap, I need an elder pet anyway, dire sucks in HM.

Steboy93 · Nov 24, 2007, 09:48 AM // 09:48

In my opinion:

Cantha-Easiest
Elona-Most Fun
Tyria-Most pain in the ass

Squishy ftw · Nov 24, 2007, 09:59 AM // 09:59

I'd go for canthan guardian. You can get that done way quicker than tyria. I got canthan guardian 2 days ago with 2 guildies (took us 3 evenings). The only mission that could be a pain to do is eternal grove, but when you get to know when the hardest mobs come and from what side(so you can send an additional hero over to help that side) you'll beat it

.

Oh, and raisu palace is quite ok really, just put Pain inverter on the elementalist when he uses sliver lol.

Milennin · Nov 24, 2007, 10:10 AM // 10:10

I'd go for Elonian Guardian. It's by far the most easy one, except for Dzagonur Bastion, that one's a real pain.<__< The rest of the missions are all pretty easy to medium/hard for some.
Cantha was in my opinion the hardest, with Eternal Grove, Tahnnakai Temple, Raisu Palace and some others.
Tyria is definetely the longest, most mission aren't really that hard, but some, like Riverside Province, Frost Gate and Dunes of Despair, are so annoying.-__-

Hobbs · Nov 24, 2007, 11:11 AM // 11:11

I'm Guardian of Tyria and Cantha and 19/20 in Elona, Gate of Madness is so annoying, tried it once with a friend and h/h we breezed it until the heroes got snagged on something in the temple at the end when we were running betwwen the shrines, the lich pwned them all and it was game over. Imo the hardest missions are Eternal Grove and Gate of Madness, I didn't find tyria hard at all but that may be because I met a monk in a pug and we did pretty much all of the missions together.

payne · Nov 24, 2007, 11:16 AM // 11:16

i've done all of tyria / elona and most of cantha...tyria was easiest aurora was dead simple actually! all in tyria is easy except dunes / thirsty (due to buff on WoH)

Elona GoM is the only real challenges...

Cantha arborstone was infact quite easy just take your time xD
rest is basics except raisu / tahannakai and so on...9/13 there are easy others are a bit of a challenge

eternal grove HM = anti-christ#

edit: bastion was very easy did it today

Common misconception; Ceiling Collapse interrupts you, it doesn't knock you down.

Anyway, Tyria is easy to do alone with heroes and hench, but it's slow simply because of the amount of missions required. Cantha is hard to do alone/H&H, but with a friend or two it's the shortest option.

Elona, however, is easier than Cantha and shorter than Tyria, so overall it's the easiest. I beat Hard Mode Elona for a friend's title in just under two days... we cracked out, of course, but that's the kind of bare minimum playing time you're looking at to get a Guardian title... if you're good.

I D E L E T E D I · Nov 24, 2007, 04:53 PM // 16:53

If you are planning on H/H the whole title i would say forget Cantha. Eternal Grove is just near impossible to hero hench unless you have super leet micro manage skills.
I would go with Elona personally was fast/easy except maybe bastion which can be slightly tricky.
But saying that i did all of the missions with friends and PuGs(would u believe that

) so hardly had any problems

Just.nl · Nov 24, 2007, 04:58 PM // 16:58

If i was you i should take Cantha...
The mission are maybe a bit hard (Raisu Palace and Arborstone but you forgot tahnnakai temple)
Tahnnakai Temple is really easy of you got an good guildteam
We did already Tahnnakai and some others with succes Tahnnakai was masters but Unwaking Waters failed... (Gigantic Server Lagg) but Aurora Glade seems to be easy but that isnt i've tried it today 3 times but always at the Demogugea(orsometing) we failed it... Gigantic Mob but i've got an idea for it the

URSAN WAYY!!!

We've did in 2 hours each quest of the FoW.
With 6 Ursans an 2 Monks its simple if you take that way...
But i will hope that u reach Guardian Of Cantha,Elona,Tyria.

Hf en GL with it!
