So is there a sequence in these? I've only found the one that the Glint vision gives so far (defend Droknar's) and went to look for the others... I'm guessing now that you have to do them sequentially?

Thanks!

Wow, we tried Defend North Kryta 3 times, with 8 good players. Came back to Lion's Arch to try different skill. For exemple, I did not expect that many monsters the first time. I brought Melandru's resilience as Elite. Bah! Came back with Barrage + Conjure lightning + my uber Lightning bow: NOW! that was effective. We made it almost to the end: three monsters were still alive, but too late. We died.

So, this quest is not finished, but I will try again tomorrow. Too much fun.

Any suggestions from those who made it?

I did it probably 5-8 times with different groups...

In the group I completed it in, we started it from Lion's Arch.

We had two monks, two ele's, and two warriors. I had everyone bring a res signet and the two monks also brought vengence and one warrior brought rebirth. It's also helpfull to have someone bring a remove hex spell because they put that hex on you that gives you -2 energy degen and if you dont remove it monks will find themself at less than 15 energy within 30 seconds of fighting.

This one was by far the hardest quest out of all five. I don't think you are gonna have a group that can do it first try, it's probably gonna take a couple of tries with the same group to get it.

Different builds will work differently, but I strongly suggest everyone takes rez signets and monks take vengence as well along with a remove hex remove spell. That is a req in my opinion.

If you've finished the game, you're supposed to go to the statue of Glint,located in Droknars Forge, in which you /kneel before her and take the "Defend Droknars" quest, on completion of that quest you then unlock 3 other quests in Ascalon,Lions Arch,and Denravi.

These quests are only available to those who have finished the game.

I /kneel to no one - and still got the quest. And rightfully so, since I killed Glint earlier, why should I kneel before her

Don't start that classist holy trinity crap with the new quest. I have done all five of the Titan Quests. The last one "Titans Source" is worth 50k XP and really difficult if you cant get past Defend Kryta you're in for a suprise. My group had 2 rangers , and no warriors but made it though. Its all about skills so don't post your cookie - cutter worthless holy trinity builds so that everyone can exclude rangers, like you guys try to do in the FoW and rest of the game. That classist propaganda really needs to stop.
You say are stuck on Defend Kryta, but you have all the advice on who to exclude from the mission. Give it a rest!

Yes, true. I did all 5 titan quests. So much fun. the last one, called titan source, I started in Yak's Bend so I had 6 people instead of the 4 from grendwich courthouse. Even then, it was insanely difficult. 50k exp was good, but i was in it for the challenge more than anything else.

Aww. Wonder why they didnt make the reward a special item, one for each completer of the series quests, customized to you so it cannot be bought or sold. Something.. neat. I dont know. Just something.. worthwhile.

Sigh. I'll do them anyway of course. ^^

Update.

Have not done the Kryta quest yet. Greywind always gets killed. Bah! But for those of you who want to make it quick, here is the tip.

Form a group at the Temple of Ages, then go to Bergen, and start the mission from there, backward, going through Nebo. All you have to do is kill a few birds (piece of cake at level 20, right?), a few undead, then you arrive at the village where there is this strange farmer who always wants me to help him. "Hey, there are like 40 Titans coming this way, you better grab your shovel and join us in the fight!" Anyway, you cross the village, keep on moving then you arrive at Greywind the suicidal guard. Climb on the little hill there, to have a better view and let the battle begin.

The first wave is "easily" feasible. Then you run back to the village's gate, and you start the real battle.

I do not have any particular tip to give at this point. We were doing very well as a group, but for some reason, Greywind died. I did not even know he was in the battle, too many foes out there, plus all the wells on the ground and the wards, could not see much.

Fun, nevertheless. Perhaps tomorrow?

For a limit of 4 people, Last Day Dawns was incredibly easy. We got through it with only 3 people and a healer hench (backup healer).

Warrior/Monk - lvl 20
Elementalist/Ranger (myself) - lvl 20
Ranger/Elementalist - lvl 20
Healer Henchman - lvl 6

My skill list was as follows:
Winter
Res Sig
Meteor shower
Meteor
Fireball
Phoenix
Flare
Fire Storm

With 15 fire and Winter, I was able to top out around 270-300 damage per hit with meteors, 170-200 with fireball.

Our general strategy was to have the tank focus their attacks on him and then have myself and the ranger nuke as best we could. We managed to keep the King and his priest alive the entire time using interrupts on anything that got close to killing the king to give his priest a 1-2 second timeframe to heal him with the tank using heal other when necessary.



I haven't found a group yet for Denravi and Kryta, anyone want to help me out with it? IGN is Jander Blackstar.

I got the Last Days Dawn quest done, with four players. A minion nec, boon/pront monk (me), A ranger who didn't use winter, and a W/N who didn't use a shield. Two of the king's guards died, but not his priest. Nobody else died, except the nec's poor minions, hurray for cannonfodde). It took two tries with that group, but its not a long quest, so its all good.

Well, took a couple shots at the Denravi one last night, failed each time. They just kept coming. Got to the boss titan once, but we didn't make it.

Learned a valuable lesson.

If you're a ranger, you'll spend most of the time blinded. Even brought Mend Ailment or whatever the heck it's called. 5 sec recharge. Before it's recharged, blind again. Most annoying.

Yet incredibly fun.
