Yesterday I posted a question about reaching the prophesies area of Tyria and gave many reasons for wishing to do so mainly because there were many missions in EOTN & Nighfall which were proving too difficult and felt that if I could get to Tyria I would be able to 1) play more missions 2) capture some skills unique to prophesies, and hopefully have some fun on the way.
From one member who responded to me I was told that I could get to Tyria via "Lions Arch", through "The Gates of Kryta" and make my way to "Beacons Perch" in the Southern Shiverpeaks, my route( I was advised) should take me through "Lornar's Pass" into Dreadnought's Drift" and on to "Snake Dance" and finally to a town / Outpost of "Deldrimor War Camp"
From Lions Arch it took me about an hour to get to "The Gates of Kryta" and another half a hour to get from there to " Beacon's Perch" there I was able to garner a well earned rest and to "cash in " all that I was able to pick up on the way, I killed many bosses but none which would allow me to capture either Nec/Rit skills I then set out on my journey to the "Deldrimor War Camp".
This has to be the toughest journey I have ever attempted "Lornars Pass " was bad enough with many foes of Ice imps & Craw as well as many other who gang up on you on the way I was killed many times but eventually got to the gate of "Dreadnought's Drift" I sighed a sigh of relief only to find that it was not an Outpost or Town but just another gate on my way.
What I was not prepared for was that as I passed through that gate I immediately encountered Stone summit Dwarves in numbers I had never before encountered and worse there were mounted Stone summit Heretics (some kind of Healer Monk) who were impossible to kill as there were more that one in a group and each protected the other with spells, by this time my DP was 60% and I was resurrected in the shrine by the gate right on top of the Stone Summit forces who immediatly killed my whole team so many times I lost count, but I persisted and killed many foes but those damned Heretics I could not kill, eventually I tried to flag my team well away from the stone summit and was able to outrun them, got around what turned out to be a roundabout and on the other side were so many Stone summit and those bloody heretics that my team were once again wiped out repeatedly only to return to the same reserection shrine right on top of the other mounted Heretecs who again wiped us out repeatedly by this time six hours had passed and I was smashing my forces against a wall of Stone Summit who were unbeatable, there was one occasion when I was able to elude them only to come up against a group of Mountain Giants who within seconds had smashed my team to pieces only to return me back to that bloody resurection shine by the gate, After another hour and a half of making no progress whatsoever I gave up and returned to Beacons perch, seven and a half hours with nothing to show for it but a very frustrated Easter Bunny yes I picked up a lot of Chocolate bunnies which allowed to run around in a frenzy but nothing else.
My Team ? me a Rit/ Nec with my three Sabway Nec/Rit /Monks and a hench healer & archer.
So my question, Is there an easier way to get to Ascalon ? one which will allow me to get there with most of my hair and all of my Sanity.
I know this is a bit of a ramble but on reading it through I gave me a laugh so I hope it will at least raise a smile on the face of you poor reader.
My reason for wanting to go to Tyria ? to escape the frustration of being repeatedly being hammered in the what up to now are proving unbeatable missions which are left to me in Nightfall & EOTN. (Little did I know)
Roll on GW.2 maybe it will give me winnable challenges or just maybe I am not cut out for this game.
