Gwen? - Guild Wars Forums

Ares Moonlight · Mar 22, 2007, 06:01 PM // 18:01

I've been a loyal player for 20 months now.And since a small period of time I've been browsing these forums.

Now the first thing that caught my eye is the discussion about a certain person called "Gwen".

What is this Gwen?The only gwen I remember wanted me to get her flute in Ascolon.

Note that I only have prophecies.

It's very much possible that this has been asked already but bear with me.It took me half an hour with this internet connection to create this thread,so I don't have any time to check wiki or other threads

Thx,
Ares

The Gwen people are talking about is the same one that is in pre-Searing Ascalon. People are speculating as to what happened to her during/after the Searing (she isn't seen again)

There is someone in the Underworld asking for Gwen at the beginning. Maybe if you do all the quests Gwen might be there in Ghost form?!

Or maybe she Exploded :P

that's Sarah, her mother. And if you complete all quests down there it doesnt happen anything except consuming your time.

OK if you cant get to wiki, I'll cut-n-paste the wiki to you

Gwen, Pre-Searing

Gwen is one of the biggest mysteries in the game. She is a little girl that you can see behind the Resurrection Shrine on the east-side of the Ascalon City entrance. The first time you speak to her, she will give you the Gwen's Flute quest in which you need to find her lost flute. If you complete the quest she will want to follow you in your adventures. She is a very useful sidekick as she is never targeted by enemies and can heal you for 20 HP randomly when your health is down. Speak to her to have her follow you and speak to her again to have her wait. If you have any of the items you can give her, she will ask for one of them instead.

If she is following you, she will be waiting for you anytime you enter an explorable area (with the exception of the Catacombs and The Northlands) but if you log out or if you enter Ascalon City she will return to her original location.

You may also give all or any of the following gifts to Gwen to make her more attached to you:

* Flute
o Bought from any merchant in Pre-Searing Ascalon.
o You can give it to her only once.
o Her appearance will change once you give it to her, she will carry it in her hand.
o It will make her a little happy, and she will start playing it.
o While she is following you, she will play it once in a while when you are idle, and always when she heals you. It is currently not known which skill she uses to heal.
o It seems that she will not heal you unless you give her the flute.
* Small Girl's Cape
o Bought from any merchant in Pre-Searing Ascalon.
o You can give it to her only once.
o Her appearance will change once you give it to her, she will be wearing it on her neck.
o It will really boost her attachment to you.
* Red Iris Flowers
o Found randomly in most explorable areas in Pre-Searing Ascalon.
o You can give her all the Red Iris Flowers that you find, she can't have enough of them. Note that if you have given her the flute and the cape she will take all the red iris flowers you have in inventory before offering the tapestry shred.
o It will slightly increase her attachment to you. If you plan to save the 200 gold pieces the Small Girl's Cape costs, you may just give this item to her.
o Once she gives you the Tapestry Shred there is no reason to give more to her, so you may want to sell them instead.

Once she likes you enough, she will give you the most valuable thing she has (according to her) which is the Tapestry Shred.

The fastest way to get the item is to give her the Flute, the Small Girl's Cape and two Red Iris Flowers (total cost: 214 gold pieces).

Gwen, Post-Searing

After the Searing you can find Gwen's Broken Flute in Ascalon as a remnant of Gwen (a Tattered Girl's Cape also used to be found in Kryta, but no longer appears). Her fate, though, is unknown.

In Elona, players adventuring in Barbarous Shore will find a Preserved Red Iris Flower in an unlocked chest. All these items are marked as Quest Items.

It is believed by many players in the game that, given the above, there is some quest that has to deal with her fate after the Searing that is yet to be announced.

Upon entering the Underworld players will see the ghost of Gwen's mother, Sarah, worriedly asking other ghosts if they have seen her daughter.

In the May 2007 issue of PC Gamer magazine it is mentioned that a character who is heavily implied to be Gwen will be encountered in Guild Wars Eye of the North. The article also includes an illustration of this character, who has a hairstyle similar to Gwen and a green outfit resembling several styles of Mesmer armor, particularly Tyrian and Istani armor, however this is not conclusive proof of her profession.

Basically, it's mostly speculation at ths point. The underworld ghost is her mother Sarah, and nothing you do there (yet?) does anything with Gwen, ghost or otherwise. Hope that helps

[edit] Notes
If you join a party with someone who had already given the items to her, she will be wearing them already, and you will not be able to receive the Tapestry Shred until you come back outside without a party member who has already received one.
You can see her from inside Ascalon city. Go near where Prince Rurik is and look outside, near the theater, where Lady Althea is when you enter the area. You'll see her near some local villagers.

[edit] Quotes
Gwen speaks of many things as she follows you around. All the characters she talks about are characters you meet in the game. The following are possibly all of Gwen's lines:

While following you:

"Are we there yet?"
"Are you a hero, too, like Aidan and Devona? My daddy was a great warrior, but he died when I was seven. Mommy says maybe we'll see him again after we die. Do you think that's true?"
"Devona is so pretty! I love her hair. Do you think my hair will be that pretty when I grow up?"
"Have you met my mommy? Her name is Sarah. She's the town herbalist. She helps make sick people well again."
"I hope this isn't too dangerous."
"I'm on an adventure!"
"Lady Althea's father is a duke. That means he's important, and he knows Prince Rurik. I'd love to meet the prince someday."
"Mary Malone brought us apples today. They're so lovely and ripe! Mommy wouldn't let me have one. She's saving them to bake a pie. Yummy!"
"Mommy says I shouldn't bother the grownups so much, but there aren't any children for me to play with. Besides, they're all so nice to me! Well, most of them are, anyway."
"Mr. & Mrs. Hathorn have children, but they're too young to play with me. Sometimes Mrs. Hathorn let's me hold the baby. He's so cute!"
"Old Mack has a bull named Bill, and he's really mean. Once I saw him chase a man and hurt him real bad. Someone ought to do something about him. If my daddy was here, he'd kill that old bull and carve him into steaks!"
"Prince Rurik and Lady Althea are going to get married! I can't wait! I hope I get to attend the wedding. I just love weddings!"
"When I grow up, I'm going to be a hero like my daddy. I'd like to be a warrior, but the mesmers' outfits are nicer, don't you think?"
While not following you:

"Eww! A big beetle!"
"I think I'm going to follow you!"
"I want to be an adventurer too. Can I come with you?"
"I wonder how many flowers it takes to fill a vase?"
"My daddy was an adventurer like you. Once, he let me go on an adventure with him."
"Someone help me!"
"The Red Iris Flowers are my favorite!"
"When I grow up I want to be just like you."
"You look really strong. Can you teach me anything?"
"That last flower had a bee on it!"
During her appearance in the Beta Weekend Event:

"My name is Gwen. And I don't like yooou."
"My mother? Let me tell you about my mother."
"Mommy always said not to play with fire. But Mommy's dead."
"Why does everyone I love always die?"
"We need no water, let the ..."
"The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!"
"Painful to live in fear, isn't it?"
"Hey, where are you going?"
"You didn't save Ascalon, now I'm gonna hurt you."
"Burn it to the ground! Muhahahaha!"
"My favorite 3 things: skipping, playing the flute, and burning towns down."
"Ashes, ashes, you all fall down!"
"Burn baby burn!"
"Ok, <character name> time to die."
"If you don't get off me, I'll burn you, <your name>."
"Do you like fire, <your name>."
"Eeny Meany Miney Mo, I pick you, <your name>."
"It's not an easy thing to meet your maker, <your name>."
"Stop touching me, <your name>, that's inappropriate behaviour."
