this kid is right, i believe it is the secret

Was this a glitch or something, because when i logged off and back on she
dissapeared, it was wierd.

yeah, and i saw the pig flew through a sky and he had an superman cape, that was nice, and then i gone to sleep, in the morning i found that i slept in bathroom with my head in the toilet

my initial thought was BULL $HIT but after u said she was in ur party as a W1 ... ... i swear i remeber something wierd like that when i first got the game too...but i was a noob at the time, so i thought it was normal or somin...das as vierd, ya? we need SS tho...EVIDENCE PPL!!!!!!

ok, so i've just read all 9 pages on this interesting theory...

IMO Gwen was simply to help newbs start off...like a Lina (only useful this time (lol)) for lvl 5 W/Mos who were like "zomg, only 8 lvl 7's????!?? i can take them..." and Gwen ever so slightly, helps u out healing u when u need it....and in teh end u were like, "thank god for Gwen, or i'd die 6 times!!!"
And that all the items in Post are to just help u cope with the fact that Gwen, ur 1st companion, is dead...that, and its a broken quest...

ahh, all my thoughts are scrambled all over the place...

Why didn't you screenshot?

I actually started to wonder about this when i stumbled across another forum with basically the same subject. This was about a month or 2 ago. I cleared every single thing there is to kill in Stingray Stand, and no Mingas and no tattered cape. I have never seen the flower, and no screens either. I would really like to acquire all of the items, and i tried for a very long time to get any of the items last time this subject caught my interest. I also cleared Watchtower Coast for the dead flowetr, but again, nothing. I would like any findings on these 2 items (or the UW quest =) ) so feel freeto PM me ingame

They got rid of mingas the meek in an update a while back. The cape should still drop though. I never once beleaved it was mingas who dropped it. It Didn't even drop next to him, just decently close.

My guild leader finished this quest. apparently, you find out gwen is the daughter of rurik... and you gain 20k exp for finishing it. it's susspose to be a long chain of quests, and thats all i know

cup-o-noodles · Jun 22, 2006, 08:56 PM // 20:56

Umm, yeah sure. So you gonna actually tell us how to do it, or just expect us to beleave you? Besides, gwens dad dies before you even leave pre-searing. She tells you that in one of her random oubursts.

Not bad theory, but listen to mine.

In many generations, people did mistake`s and some people don`t try to learn from their mistake`s. What if this is MISTAKE, i think that gwen is not supposed to be in post-seering, i think that she is only pre-seering npc and she died like many others in ascalon kingdom. This is one of the biggest mistakes in the game (well, the biggest i think is that npc`s don`t move their mouths on the movies), what if ANet tryed to fix this stupi mistake and delete gwen, but why, she is so0o beautiful and she helps n00bs, so they left it, and some people who wrote this and many other threads about the gwen were hooked up by this stupid error named "gwen", ANet noticed that they don`t need to delete that npc, and that it would be good that people won`t sleep at nights by searching "the mistery" of gwen.
That is my theory.
its mine.

I talked to her and she didn't say anything about a quest to find her flute. It let me give her a flower and that's it. I have the new flute and cape in my inventory, but everytime I talk to her, it only asks her to follow me. When I ask her to stop, she stands there with a green exclimation point above her head. The flute isn't at the river either. Am I screwed or what?

Items of interest:

Pre-Searing:
Tapestry Shred

Post-Searing:
Gwen's Broken Flute (located near Sardelac Sanitarium)
Tattered Cape (located in Stingray Strand, south of Fishermans Haven near Mingas the Meek)
Dead Flower (unknown, rumored to also be in Stingray Strand)

I cannot find the "Dead Flower" but it has been mentioned briefly before.

It is my guess that you ascertain these four items, talk to Sarah, and then the quest begins.

Any of you have information regarding this?

Thanks for the info... but I am a noob, so I am wondering, what does UW stand for?

cup-o-noodles · Jun 24, 2006, 12:22 AM // 00:22

UW stands for under world. You acess it through temlpe of ages(ToA) in kryta.

@ Corrosive: You probly partnered up with some one who had already done everything for gwen. And after they left you got there copy of Gwen. That's how it all works.

CorrosiveZero · Jun 24, 2006, 06:13 AM // 06:13

Guess I'm screwed now, since I'm already post-searing. I heard from a few people that the quest was taken out. Someone said they had the same problem with their last 2 characters.

Meeko Shadowdancer · Jun 24, 2006, 07:56 AM // 07:56

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for her in underworld when I get there. (Meeko is from Cantha and level 20 plus several skill points more, but I just got GW Prophecies and attached it to my acct, as I never heard of GWP until after I got GW Factions)

FYI, I got the tapestry bit from Gwen pre-searing by giving her five red iris flowers (found laying around), buying the red child's cloak (200 gold) and the flute (4 gold), she then said I was her favourite person, besides her mommy, and wanted to give me something, which was the tattered bit of tapestry.

Sorry guys, but I found where gwen was and a chain of pictures that lead to her death

like shiro she proberly died and went to hell, uw whatever you wanto call it.
And in a future chapter shiro will fall madly inlove with her, as they were lost souls. I Can imagine a whole story built around it, but yeah maybe a side story of the great escape involving all the characters that never got explained.

Lich, shiro and gwen.

Or she went on a big journey of her own to revenge everones death, far far north from ascalon.
deep into char territory but even further to discover a new land.

Greetings,

I had looked up this thread to investigate all of these Gwen rumours. Out of curiosity, I set out to obtain the Broken Flute, Tapestry Shred, and the Tattered Girl's Cape. I obtained the flute and shred easily enough, but I scoured Stingray Strad but was unable to find the Tattered Cape (and certainly found no trace of Mingas the Meek).

So I set out to buy one, and I got it for 2k. To my surprise however, the item is not labelled as a "quest item", but as a salvage item! For the heck of it, I tried using an expert salvage kit, only to receive the message "this item cannot be salvaged". Was this item updated recently, altered from 'quest item' to dispel silly rumours such as the ones being explored here?

I'm not here to stir trouble or spread rumours; here's a screenshot. And I'm no photoshop master

Also note the conversation on the bottom (the person whom I purchased it from). He said that he obtained it from Pre-Searing ascalon. I can't verify that, but it's what he said.

You can PM me in game (Glaub Handel) if you have information or want to see the item.

DevoL · Jun 24, 2006, 05:36 PM // 17:36

binarymike, i think the 4th item is some kind of special salvage kit, i see the whole quest in my mind now, you salvage it and get the letter..

cup-o-noodles · Jun 25, 2006, 01:24 AM // 01:24

There are(and always have been) two versions of the tattered cape. The quest item one, and the one you have. And like I said they took mingas the meek out in an update because he didn't do anything.

bobert_monduvia · Jun 28, 2006, 10:12 PM // 22:12

so is it still possible to get the tattered girl's cape at all?

cup-o-noodles · Jun 29, 2006, 01:17 AM // 01:17

I have no idea. I think the salvage item version was a monster drop, if i remember right, so try fighting monsters in stingray strand.

Oh, and binarymike, what's that gold square thingy in your inventory?
