Sauls discoveries... - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

I was finally able to do it.

I tried the "bond them" suggestion from Nemo, but since Saul doesn't carry that skill, it didn't work.

As soon as I zoned, I activated skill #7 to recharge my signets faster, then skill 8 to get my allies to run with me. I ran right up into the charging charr and activated skill #1 to get them to attack me and my allies. I kept skill #6 (the party healing skill) up ALL THE TIME. Once the charr were all attacking us, I backed up hugging the right wall to obstruct some of their attacks on me. Then it was just a matter of spamming 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8. No spell sits idle.

It worked for me, but there's no guarantee of it working a second time.

I knew I accomplished it because I didn't get the message: "Historical Debate: Could Saul have kept all the Krytan villagers alive during the initial Charr attack."

I then had to go kill the three bosses and survive the four waves of attacks to get the bonus.

hi dts 720666,

does the end cinematic indicate that you you've gotten the bonus? because I did everything including saving the villagers but there's no mention of bonus anywhere...

These bonus pack discoveries are somewhat glitched. i knwo this isnt related but i did gwens mission a 2nd time and was able to do it in 8 mins, but i did not get the save ghost bonus, which is strange because u hafta save the ghosts to exit the cave. just saying that soemtimes the BMP is glithced.

Wrong, there are bonus objectives for each BMP Mission... which was explained in detail in the update notes. Come on now.

I'd imagine you aren't doing the part where you have to light the bazier past the spike traps fast enough. The charr there can 'win' the fight if you don't light it soon enough and then the ghosts only 'win' the second time.

You can only complete each discovery 1 time on your account.

So if you got the saved the ghosts discovery once already and you go back again to get the time bonus, you cannot get the saved the ghosts bonus again.

No, the end cinematic does not change whether you've completed the discovery bonus items or not.

There are two ways to tell if you've done them. First, when the mission is complete, check, your chat window. It will tell you how many of the discoveries you have discovered. It will say 0 of 3 or 1 of 3, etc.

Second, you can always go to Historian Durmond and select the option about discoveries. He will tell you how many discoveries for each mission you have discovered.

You cannot do the bonuses until you have completed successfully one run through each mission. The first time doesn't count.
