Boreas Seabed

Win at the Luxon convocation to claim the Spear of Archemorus.

Objectives
Triumph in the Convocation and earn the right to use the Spear of Archemorus against Shiro.
 * Defeat the three Champions and their Seaguard.
 * Retrieve the Spear of Archemorus.
 * Defeat Zhu Hanuku using the Spear of Archemorus.

Reward
Note: You can only earn the faction reward the first time you complete the mission at a certain level in either mode.

Walkthrough
To earn the right to challenge Zhu Hanuku, the party first has to defeat the champions from three Luxon clans. Each group includes two bosses. The next group will spawn and move towards the center of the arena as soon as the last mob of the previous group is killed. While the first two groups should be fairly easy, the third one includes Argo, a very hard hitting Elementalist boss. Keeping him interrupted will be very helpful for the party.

After defeating the champions, the party gains access to the Spear of Archemorus. While it is not needed to finish the mission, it will deal 1900 damage at level five to Zhu Hanuku if it is dropped near him. You can drop it more than once during this fight, which will hasten the fight greatly. Make your way directly towards Zhu Hanuku. The patrols on the way can mostly be avoided, only kill those that might aggro while you fight Zhu Hanuku.

Zhu Hanuku can be a dangerous enemy. Its Jade Fury skill will deal large amounts of AoE damage in a wide range. Additionally, Zhu Hanuku resurrects the Kraken spawns that also spawn once the fight starts; however, both the resurrect and the Jade Fury skill have long activation times. A ranger or mesmer with interrupts can completely shut Zhu Hanuku down, making the fight very easy. In absence of these, the melee fighters should bring interrupts to do the job.

Skill recommendations

 * Plenty of interrupt skills for Argo and Zhu Hanuku.
 * As a Ranger (or bow-wielding Ranger secondary) you might consider bringing Broad Head Arrow (or a Signet of Capture, since it is one of the elites that can be captured during this mission), as this will ensure that both Argo and Zhu Hanuku are interrupted constantly; however, against Zhu Hanuku, the Broad Head Arrow Dazed effect lasts for only about a quarter of the normal duration.
 * Consider bringing a minion master as minion deaths charge the spear.
 * Frozen Soil can be useful in dealing with the Luxon clans as the bosses carry Resurrection Signets.
 * Consider bringing Pain Inverter to use against Argo and his elementalist to make short work of them.

 * Togo: "Ah, there she is. Come. The spear is within our reach."
 * Togo: "Elder Rhea. Elder Rhea. It is I, Togo of Shing Jea Monastery."
 * Elder Rhea: "Master Togo, you are quite a sight. I wondered when you would emerge from your self-styled exile."
 * Elder Rhea: "How you manage to live within the confines of that stuffy monastery I'll never comprehend."
 * Togo: "Ah...well, I suppose my spirit does not crave the wide open spaces as strongly as yours."
 * Elder Rhea: "Well, it's good to see you. What brings you all the way out here?"
 * Togo: "We have come for the Spear of Archemorus."
 * Elder Rhea: "Togo, you know full well I cannot just give you the spear."
 * Togo: "Oh no?"
 * Elder Rhea: "No! Today Zhu Hanuku, the great kraken, returns from the deep."
 * Elder Rhea: "What do you study in that monastery of yours?"
 * Togo: "Apparently not enough Luxon culture."
 * Elder Rhea: "Apparently."
 * Edler Rhea: "Every year Zhu Hanuku returns. And on that day we hold the Convocation."
 * Elder Rhea: "The strongest among us fight for the right to be the one who defeats the great magical kraken, returning him to the waves."
 * Togo: "That is very nice but-"
 * Elder Rhea: "The Convocation is today. The spear goes to the winning clan."
 * Togo: "Rhea-"
 * Elder Rhea: "Togo, if you want the spear, you'll have to fight them for it."


 * Argo: "Another Convocation has come, and with it Zhu Hanuku, the mighty sea beast who has terrorized the Jade Sea for hundreds of years."
 * Argo: "I return the spear to the pedestal, the prize of today's contest."
 * Argo: "May the strongest clan take up its haft and once again slay the magical kraken."
 * Argo: "To all those we are about to defeat, I salute you."
