Visier of Orr - Guild Wars Forums

AbeCadabra · Feb 25, 2006, 04:49 AM // 04:49

Has anybody been through the mission in Riverside Provence where you deliver the Scepter of Orr to the Visier and then have to protect him while he summons the boat? If so, how do you keep alive while he's summoning the boat? My friend and I have been through it repeatedly and it seems like the death of our characters is the signal for the boat to show up...

Protecting the Vizier while he summons the boat is the Sanctum Cay mission. You have to either defend him by killing all the White Mantle that come or do the runner's trick.

It takes a while. There are a lot of waves, but if you just camp right around the end of the bridge, even with henchmen, its not that hard.

What's this "runners" trick?

Manic Smile · Feb 25, 2006, 06:51 AM // 06:51

you inch up and aggro nothing

or just aggro <5 guys and tank it out of range of the visor and then run on the boat...this mission is real easy once you get the hang of it

*hint* you can book trick it till the cutscene

One question...
What's a "book trick"?

Thanks, though...

Manic Smile · Feb 25, 2006, 07:07 AM // 07:07

tank holds a holdable item and draws all aggro

book trick = FoW book trick

SF gear trick

FA barrel trick

just hold the scepter

Yeah, that's what we tried on three different occasions. Worked ok at first, then they swarmed us and handed us our butts...

I suggest getting a better pug

Guess I'm newer than the average newbie. "FoW"? "SF"? "FA"? "gear trick"? "barrel trick"?
And once the Vizier get's the scepter, we can't really get it back...

You give the Vizier the staff, so you can't do that.

Yeah, that's for sure. We were pretty much dancing through it all the way. The character I'm running is a pyromancer. Run to the middle of them, light 'em up, and they all pretty much lay down and take a nap...

We even got the bonus score. It's just that last part where the vizier takes his $%*%@& time casting the ritual that we keep finding ourselves holding our butts. <grumble grumble...>

pug = pick-up group meaning grabbing people you don't know and going

Manic Smile · Feb 25, 2006, 08:05 AM // 08:05

Look if anyone on in this thread really really really can't do it, drop me a msg and I'll try it...or get my friend who solo's it all the time to do it. We do full ascension runs for people...for a fair price. The ascension part...not the helping with SC part.

Ahh. Thanks. Yeah, I know about THOSE... We started to get henchmen and had 3 people ask to join. The first one bailed within the first 10 minutes. The second one said he couldn't stay any longer and bailed after another 10. So we went from monk-heavy to 1 monk 2 warriors and me. Needless to say, our butts were grass and they were the lawnmower...

Mister Overhill · Feb 25, 2006, 09:45 PM // 21:45

It's been a long time since I had a character through there, but it seems like there was a sweet spot near the dock, where if you hung out there while the vizier is raising the boat, the mantle never show up. If that hasn't been changed by now, maybe somebody else has more exact information.

WinespringBrother · Feb 25, 2006, 11:53 PM // 23:53

if you stand on either of the 2 hills next to the dock, you will be ok. I've done that, and most of the time, no white mantle attack (occasionally 1 or 2 show up). You hang out there for the 3 minutes (I timed it) that the Claim Resource spell takes the Visier to summon the boat - it's cool to watch the boat appear also rather than fighting

Eldin · Feb 26, 2006, 12:05 AM // 00:05

Yeah. That works, but I think only when you're the only person in the party. Tried it with my friends and it didn't work.
