exactly where is greneth's temple in uw? if you are referring to the temple like area at the top of the hill of the ice wastes .. yes, it was as empty as it ever is.
we went and checked out every nook and cranny after we were done =)

Sno - yah, it was way back in June or so when i was just a young fire nuker. this character has been killed unfortunately for my mesmer hehe. but actually tank wise, it's not too much different than how you are running things now probably. our solo tank was a mo/r running an early version of the 105 hp uw solo monk cycling SB using spirits.

UW and FOW.. is just WoW... i thought i saw the whole thing until someone posts a new area with monsters i have never seen or heard about it....

theres something always new at the end of the road.

im a huge fan of fissure runs and so are a few members of my guild. We have , on a few occasions, cleared fissure of woe and i can first hand tell you that after killing everything, doing all the quests, and searching everywhere, you get nothing extra other than your personal satisfaction of having it completed.

I cleared FoW (completed all 11 quests in one run) probally about 15-20 times when I was farming XP heavy. At the end of the last quest, you get nothing, nothing happens and you are just standing in a big empty hole, until you decide to map out. Very anti-climatic.

Hang on folks, I'm sure as the future chapter comes out, a different realm will be created for each gods, Dwayna, Lyssa and Melandru. Then try to clearn all 5 of the realms, maybe a sixth secret realm?

Lord Iowerth · Jan 11, 2006, 06:28 PM // 18:28

I personally want to see what they do with Melandru's world ... that is going to be some crazy stuff ... vines and trees that walk around, scarabs ... I don't see how they'd do a Dwayna one, since she's like the god of mercy and healing ... I suppose they could have it being invaded by something evil, etc. Or maybe you just run around and help people ... that would be pretty lame.

When you clear UW completely, Ectos rain from the sky until you cannot pick up any more...

Is that what you expected? Knowing you can do it is better than any item reward.

I have cleared all of UW with 5 people... all except the Riders Quest, and we ended up dying on the Ice Wastes Reaper... a bunch of terrorwebs just popped up on top of us, and got mashed into a pulp. Yes, this was after the AoE nerf, and took about 4 hours... sadly, I reinstalled GW when I reformatted, and forgot to back up my screenshot folder

Bye bye presear #1 screenies

FoW isn't all that hard to clear. Nothing happens when youre done.

Retribution X · Jan 11, 2006, 07:05 PM // 19:05

and don't forget, if you have ranger, the handsome Black Widow spider...

But yeah. there is really nothing special about the UW.

HardoreHom · Jan 12, 2006, 02:02 AM // 02:02

Why is everyone saying.. I HAVE CLEARED "ALL" of UW,.... except this quest and that quest!?!?!? If you didn't finish "ALL" quests, then you didn't clear "ALL" of UW.

I myself have not cleared UW, so I cannot tell you what happens. But I have been to those doors and they do seem to hold something in there. Treasure perhaps?!?

Air elementist?
And yeah, lots of defence heavy monk classed mobs.

Maybe some mesmers and paladan type warriors.

If its happening in chapter two Id expect to see ritualist in Melandrus realm.
Maybe assasians along with mesmers in Lyssas realm.

maybe there will be more than the current 5?

Me and my guild <CiR>, cleared the UW months ago. I don't see the point to posting screenies as that has already been done in this thread (but i do have them:P). I will clarify to u all the things we tried after completeing this huge task. Oh, and by clear i mean we completed all quests and killed every monster (except the tortured soul thingies that spawn forever in the bone pits.

1. Checked the Ice Palace....nothing
2. Talked to Sara with gwens items in backpack.....nothing
3. Dropped Gwens items all around sara....nothing
4. Checked every nook and cranny of UW for anything new.....nothing
5. Sent a party member to each shrine and all at once kneeled before the reapers...nothing
6. Waited for USA to get favor again....nothing
7. Tried talking to every NPC in UW...nothing

That as they say is that, we were all so disapointed that we completely stoped PvEing after and became a PvP only guild. Thanks ANET!

well the funny thing about UW is that even though it's technically "greneth's realm" UW itself is split into different sections by class.

you have the smite area in which the major mobs are smites - monk based creatures.
the chaos planes is mesmer based w/ mindblades and dreamriders.
the bone pits is necro based
the spawning pools are mostly terrorwebs and charged darknesses which are ele based
the twin peaks area are all about the behemoths which are ranger based
and the labyrinth's main challenge are the aaxtes and graspers which are warrior based

the only one i haven't really figured out is the forgotten vale area as it's not a hard area and not that large. I guess you could say because of the coldfires and stalking nights it's ele based.

i think it would be hilarious in the next chapter if there's an area where the party is adventuring in and suddenly your monk dies because she's been assassinated by an assassin =)
then your ritualist will cast a spell that suddenly reveals your entire party is surrounded by hordes of assassins.. and then the battle begins!

It was only a matter of time before we did it. Likely the only people ever to do ALL QUESTS in the underworld in 1 run, with 3 people.

saphir · Jan 14, 2006, 07:30 AM // 07:30

hey, congrats!
how long did that take w/ 3 people?
i from the curled up black corpse that you have chosen to kill your only reward for completing uw... yet another black widow spider =)

We just finished all of it (every quest, every monster, everywhere) and it took us about 7 hours total. We DID bring the 3 items rumored to have significance (shred, flute, cape) and talked to gwen, went to the door, kneeled at the pedestal, all the other rumored shit we could think of, just to squash all rumors.

One interesting thing I found is that if you wait to take the reward for "restore the monuments," he still says "there is much more to be done." even though theres ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LEFT
