I agree. I love Gwen, she's a doll. Never noticed her healing me though. But I found after giving her 5 flowers, after giving her the flute you get the shred. I hope it becomes something at one point. Don't want to make it a waste of space in my inventory. I think becoming a Profession specifc armor piece or something would be great. Or a big bag of holding.

Anyone ever go to Underworld i went there earlier and there was a ghost named Sarah asking where Gwen was or something like that. Might be something to look into. She is right there as you start.

They better not blow off gwen like that..

Maiyn · May 24, 2005, 10:45 AM // 10:45

Hey i think I've seen that ghost too.. hmmm.

I was totally wondering about that broken flute lol. Everyone else I've seen doesn't seem to know what's up either.

Maybe it's just a red herring. Baldur's Gate had one I remember.

About what bahamut says- If you go party with someone who bought her the cape, she has the cape for you too now, however her relation ship remains unchanged.

If anyone wants to find out the truth, i think the best bet would be to take the tapestry shred to the ghost of sarah in the underworld...good luck.

Berdo · May 25, 2005, 07:43 PM // 19:43

I have the tapestry shred, the broken flute, and the tattered cape with me, and still Sarah in UW is basically untalkable to. She just wanders around. No idea whats going on.

Cindare Sunstriker · May 26, 2005, 04:35 PM // 16:35

Pre-searing, Gwen plays her flute (once you've given it to her) and heals you for +20. She talks about her mom (Sarah) and Sarah shows up in the village once you've turned in the cape to Gwen, but they don't seem to recognize one another and have no apparent interest in one another (I've parked Gwen at Sarah in Lakeside to no avail).

Post-Searing, I find a 'broken flute' near Grazden every time.

It would be really cool if Gwen were the omen of a new bard class.... but I'm not holding my breath.

Tomo · May 26, 2005, 05:45 PM // 17:45

You shouldnt. We have monks for such things ^^. Maybe something in the expansion about gwen being a chosen one ?

MrMight · May 26, 2005, 07:22 PM // 19:22

If it does tie up in the story, what about the people who didnt bother with gwen? Or didnt relize what u have to do? It would be a bit unfair if she was part of the MAJOR story line. But maybe it could work, and the people who got the stuff for her will get extras from her, she will like rember you or somthing.

Maby you have to give the ghost the broken flute and the tattered girls came in the future or something.

Or maby Gwen is going to come back as the secret undercover Charr leader and caused the searing. lol

((Ok lats bit a bit to far fetched))

As far as I can tell there are three different clues in post searing about Gwen. 1 is the broken flute found in ascelon. 2 there is a tattered girls cape (red) outside of fisherman's haven in kryta, and then 3rd theres the ghost of Sarah looking for her daughter. So we know she didn't bite the big one. I mean come on she can heal for 20 health after all

nothing could take her down.

Asplode · May 31, 2005, 04:20 AM // 04:20

Between Sanctum Cay and Fisherman's Haven is a "little girl's cape" or something like that. Marked as a salvage item, but you can't sell/salvage it, but it's worth 200g! :O

eA-Zaku · May 31, 2005, 04:43 AM // 04:43

Two hundred gold is chump change

Do standard quest items work if you transfer them to another character? I'm worried because I didn't bother to find enough Red Iris Flowers to get a Tapestry Shred, and I'm hoping I can start a new character, give the Shred to my high level, and it will still work for whatever the Tapestry Shred does (future quest or whatever)

doasinfinity87 · May 31, 2005, 04:47 AM // 04:47

yes i have been figuring out this quest for a long long time...i thought that the shred would be used in pre searing so basically i went every where talked to everysingle person and didnt get no where! lol damn. Well it was interesting reading the clues that you guys have found. I think that if you find all of gwens "left behinds" and give it to sarah something mite happen? i dunno im still in krya and i dont tink im near the underworld yet so i cant really talk. But After reading all these post i do feel some what "attatched" to this gwen's story and i think they should include her story in the game or something

Bathemael · Jun 18, 2005, 10:21 PM // 22:21

I'm pretty new to the game and my first character is only in yak's bend so far, so i can't try these ideas myself. There is a broken flute, and a tattered cape post-searing, and a tapestry shred pre-searing. and it is believed that Gwen's mom's ghost is encountered later in the game. has anyone tried adding one of the iris flowers(her favorite) to their inventory and then try talking to the ghost?

or what about performing certain actions near the ghost? i thought i read somewhere that if you kneel near a statue or fountain of lyssa you trigger something. has anyone tried an action near the ghost to maybe activate a trigger?

What about gwen having a dad? i didn't listen to her or her mom talk much when i was in pre-searing but i wouldn't be surprised if some guy in the game mentioned something about them if you stand near him long enough. I could easily imagine some quest involving the dad wishing to give a message to the mom about what happened to gwen to "put her soul at rest" or something. she is a ghost after all, they are a ghost for a reason.

let me know what you think or if you have tried any of these methods, i'd love to figure this one out as i go along. i'm certainly going to talk to NPCs alot more to look for random messages.

Vhayr · Jun 19, 2005, 12:48 PM // 12:48

Gwen's dad is dead, she mentions this quite a lot when she's walking around with me.

tracy · Jun 21, 2005, 08:32 AM // 08:32

i think they fixed the quest because the cape outside of fisherman's haven is a quest item now.

EchoSex · Jun 21, 2005, 01:08 PM // 13:08

Thought I'd share this: I heard a REALLY crackpot theory/story on this in local chat one day. From what I heard, you can kill Gwen if you collect 3 flutes, and something about a broken leg. Thats all I can remember at the moment but I think I can dig it up somewhere. It was really out there, but I thought I'd share it nonetheless. BTW, I hope they add Gwen in. Would be a cool little add to the game's story (kind of like that fish chick from Zelda: Ocerna of Time. Ya'll know what I'm talking about, right?)

Ketendra · Jun 21, 2005, 06:32 PM // 18:32

The cape in Fishermans Haven was changed to a quest item a while ago, and as far as anyone knows the quest is not fixed yet, there will probably be a post about it when it is since there are so many questions about it (not just on the boards, but I know a few people that have also sent to ANet about it, and got the responce that the quest is broke) At this point it is just something that makes everyone currious.
