Curse

As pointed out by some in this thread, http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3022688 there is a glitch in the Arborstone mission. Danika seems to try to cast her Blood of Zu Heltzer spell while too far away from the door. We all ran close to the door, but she didn't follow. She just kept trying to cast it. We dropped the urn near her, away from her, near the door... tried everything we could think of, but to no avail.

We had completed all the mission objectives up to that point. She actually got the spell off several time w/o being interrupted. But it seems like she was too far away from the door.

Eventually we all had to quit. One of the most frustrating experiences playing GW ever!!! Gimme back my $50 (ok, $45

). But seriously, this is a major glitch considering you need to get this mission done to move on in the story.

Please fix it, Anet.

We had this same problem, but we used our engenuity to solve it. What you have to do is hurt yourself via the collapseing. Get into casting range of her and she should start to try to heal you. Run away and she will follow you trying to heal. It may take a few tries, but eventually lead her to the door and the cutscene will trigger. Don't worry it took us a while to figure it out. 1:16 to be exact

We tried that ourselves like 20 times and it wouldn't work. We eventually gave up. I've attempted this mission 5 times already and have tried to do everything possible for it not to glitch, but nothing works for us. I'm not wasting anymore of my time playing until anet decides to fix it.

hey, we were on same team. Frickin' annoying to say the least. Good job borking it up, Anet. Wake up and get to work.

Its weird, I did it a few days ago and today, got master reward both times.

Perhaps try going through the centre of the temple instead so she comes out closer to the door?

Cygnus_Zero · May 02, 2006, 03:14 PM // 15:14

Anyone know if it's still bugged?

Raiin Maker · May 02, 2006, 03:19 PM // 15:19

i did this mission the otherday and it was fine. not sure how we just killed the stone guys and she just opened it and took us into the movie clip.

ArianeB · May 02, 2006, 04:21 PM // 16:21

It was bugged in a good way before yesterday, she would open the door early, so they patched it, and now sometimes she wont open the door at all.

From what I can tell it is still broken, but here is a work around if you tried and failed.

At the top of the stairs at the end, the columbs collapse and turn into 6 stone creatures. Take out two or three, but not the boss, then run to the door on the right. Fight the boss from there. Since it is a Warrior boss he will come to you, and Danica will follow. Once dead, two creatures on either side of the door will appear, take them out and the door should open (finally).

supadave · May 03, 2006, 02:35 AM // 02:35

YES, Major Bugged Still!

After 2 times in a row, the mission would not complete. We tried using monsters from other areas and everything to get her closer.

Still bugged as of this message time. I posted an official bug report to them however.

Same here, in fact, i JUST finished it about 5 mins ago!

lordsoulstrike · May 03, 2006, 04:35 AM // 04:35

GW just updated not even an hour ago maybe they fixed it.

Dartanian · May 03, 2006, 05:29 AM // 05:29

If it's still acting up, I had a solution to completing the mission. I used henchies btw.

What you do is, at the top of the stairs *at the end* before you approach the stone enemies, make sure you have the Urn of Saint Victor at Level 5. Run straight to the door w/o calling any targets and rub yourself against the door/wall like you're trying to walk through it; hide yourself w/o dropping the Urn just while doing this. The henchies should all bunch up close to you very closly, as well as the Daughter. As soon as the Yellow aura boss comes within your range, drop the Urn, and start fighting. The Daughter will say, I can open this door if I am not interupted, and she opens it. It may have been a fortunate situation for me, but after doing the mission 3 times, this was the only was it got it complete.

I used all ranged Henchmen - No warriors
Calling a target for henchies helps a lot.

Hope this helps

Never had the problem described above. Probably one of occasional glitches you see in missions (some of the Tyria missions behave strange occasionally). All ppl I talked about the arborstone mission didnt had the problem you describe. I would suggest doing it again, before throwing your copy away

jpau2t · May 03, 2006, 10:04 AM // 10:04

kill the boss at the top of the stairs last, well at least that worked for me twice. also my guildies done it and they were successful as well

Had it bugged 2 times, tried luring her to the door, the monk in our party didnt get it and kept healing us after collapse. On the 3rd try we made sure we killed the boss last and she ran straight to the door

llsektorll · May 03, 2006, 11:49 AM // 11:49

yes, we had the same problem... we had a Minion Master on our team... and she kept using heal skills on him even though his health was full. Other things include using the "Blood of the Heltzer" (or whatever its called) to open the door over and over. She did that skill from a far distance for about 3 minutes then out of random some oni's spawn in the middle of where we are standing we kill them and she is having the same problem again. Then she suddenly moves forword does the skill again and door opens... i guess i was lucky... and yes we did take the shortcut path

goober1973 · May 05, 2006, 11:15 PM // 23:15

Still bugged. Just tried it twice with henchies and no luck, even with luring her around.

Tren · May 06, 2006, 02:55 AM // 02:55

I tried it four times today hoping it would eventually work, but of course it didnt. I hope they fix this soon.
