Talk:Wanted: Inquisitor Bauer

Res Shrine?
Should there not be a res shrine right outside Gates of Kryta? It shows one on mini map but it wasn't there. We went out three times and it wasn't there any of them. Em Jae 04:02, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Should be. You get 2 shots and that’s it. After a second wipe, your party returns to Gates of Kryta regardless of DP. Sardaukar  [[Image:User_Sardaukar_sig.png]] 04:25, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * True. He sends you to CTU or something. --[[Image:User Large sig.png|talk]] Large 16:55, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Jade Bows
Don't appear to spawn in NM, rezoned several times and never saw any. Are they only HM, and is this the case with all of the areas? Briareus 04:08, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Scratch that. One spawned by Bauer after 4 times. Briareus 04:08, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Not very nice to have Jade Bows when the henchmen you take with from Lion's Arch are not infused. -- FreedomBound [[Image:User_Freedom_Bound_Sig.png|19px]] 11:49, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * True-especially in Hard Mode.--Burning Freebies 14:08, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Way too OP
Seriously, an instant cast for all spells and he's with a jade cloak, who has Sandstorm and Churning Earth? Plus a bunch of resses? This entire group is way too OP and needs nerfed badly. Tender Wolf  17:50, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It wasn't too bad with a full team of people, but henchmen should be infused if you're going to be facing foes with Spectral Agony. I'd like H&H to still be viable for these quests. Sardaukar  [[Image:User_Sardaukar_sig.png]] 19:39, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I can recommend a minion master and spirit spammer, the meat shield/increased damage output makes H/H doable (Aura of the Lich works nicely in combination with the stack of dead mergoyle), though you still have to have some luck in spawns. Certain combinations of foes are just too much, for a 6 man team. Twam Valandil 94.209.65.245 19:57, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * When suggesting minions to deal with shouts instead of vocal minority, you remind me of someone who urged people to use "there's nothing to fear" against aaxtes. Are you the same person ? Yseron - 90.14.101.176 22:23, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Most certainly not :p Nah, as far as I'm concerned Bauer isn't the problem so much as the Jade constructs and some of mantle builds surrounding him. The amount of raw damage they deal makes it tricky to deal with the entire group at a time; not Bauers shouts. As a matter of fact, "there's not enough time" was more of a buff to my party than to his allies, I suspect. I merely suggested the cannon fodder as a means to make sure you have ample time to take out the jade, rits and savants. Twam Valandil 94.209.65.245 22:32, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * K, note is taken that you werent commenting on "Seriously, an instant cast for all spells and he's with a jade cloak, who has Sandstorm and Churning Earth?". Yseron - 90.14.101.176 22:44, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * stop whining, jesus christ. 77.162.63.219
 * I had very little trouble, but I was able to separate a single jade bow before taking out his group. This was HM, myself as warrior imbagon, H&H with original sabway, fire henchy, and Olesia.--174.23.188.4 22:47, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * You made me curious so i tried the wanted:bauer quest in nm to see what it was all about. Sabway is all but mandatory. Gwen and 25 seconds did suffice for our 4 men (1+3heros) team. Yseron - 90.14.101.176 23:48, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Its not so bad if the Jade Constructs don't immediately go for the henchmen. They probably will if you rune or otherwise equip your heroes though beyond their defaults. Though it doesn't really matter, you just have to fight through a WM group and kill Bauer to finish the quest. 173.88.136.15 00:05, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1 MM, 1 Spirit Spammer, 1 Healer, One Meatbag warrior (me) Done it with little help from the hench first time.-- Nei l2250  ,    Portal Jumper User Neil2250 sig icon6.png 00:09, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1 MM ? 1 spirit spammer ? Henchs ? I begin to think that people will soon use a super star destroyer. Yseron - 90.14.101.176 00:17, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Cause in PvE everything must be way too easy right? Infested Hydralisk  14:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Requirements
The previous dialogues are not needed to complete this quest. I hadn't even heard of the guy before today, I certainly hadn't encountered him.Dakota 20:13, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think you may have inadvertently seen him interrogating Farmer Dirk and then Camryn Jamison as both dialogues are required before a character can find Inquisitor Bauer and his reinforcements in and kill him for this bounty.  Bearz  [[Image:User Bearz pawprint.png|19px| ]] 21:48, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * nope... I have not seen the previous dialogs and he spawns with quest... Got War in K content with Zinns Trial and 3 visits to the war camp... MrPaladin  &dagger;  talk 11:11, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

How to defeat in HM
I've managed to kill this guy with standard Discord + Orion+ Alesia. I went after Lashona first so I was able to cap the res shrine, next to the portal which is on the left side of Scounder's Rise. Anyways, don't fight any groups, other than Bauer coz they WTFOWN! I slipped pass the other groups, hugging the left wall and was albe to get Bauer's group. He took me down once coz I got consued, after he used his shout :/ The 2nd time he was all MINE! Did it in HM and I wasn't even INFUSED 0_0 --Monolito 19:18, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, worked well. 77.99.136.218 22:04, 3 June 2010 (UTC)


 * One other way to kill him in HM with H/H. Bring your standard HM Hero complement (although Minion Masters and Spirit Wranglers are highly recommended to provide extra targets for the Jade constructs' Spectral Agony), and the two henchies of your choice (I brought Alesia and Reyna). Kill the groups of Mergoyles and White Mantle on your way to Bauer, then pull Bauer's group to your position (it's much too easy to draw aggro from the other WM groups near him if you fight him in his starting position). Now just concentrate fire on Bauer; ignore all of his minions and Jades (hopefully this is where your minions and spirits will provide a useful distraction). Bauer himself isn't that tough and doesn't have much in the way of defenses or self-heals. As long as there isn't a healer in his group (and there usually isn't. His group consists of 1 Jade construct, 1 Peacekeeper Enforcer, 1 Peacekeeper Marksman and 1 more random enemy), he'll go down fast. As long as he dies, the quest is complete, and wiping against his group afterwards isn't an issue. - Zaxares 12:02, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

bauer should be tougher to kill

Bug/Glitch?
Whenever I try to find Bauer in HM, his group doesn't spawn. I'm the party leader, I have the quest, and am taking some guild mates with me who haven't seen his other dialouge, but that shouldn't matter, right? Everytime I zone in from another portal other than Gates of Kryta, it still doesn't spawn him. Any idea what's going on? Carious the Bear 06:23, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Stupid questions: Did all of your guild mates complete the requirements to enter the War in Kryta zones? Even one without the requirements (Completed Eye or Prophecies) will ruin this. Beyond that I don't know if there is another requirement that all members of the same party must share. I do know that not having the quest does not cause him to fail spawning for this quest. I have also never seen what you are experiencing. Kyubiko 06:52, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Well I know one of them has not completed Prophecies or EotN on that character (most of them are from Factions anyways), so that might be it. Other than that, that's the only thing preventing me from doing this I guess. Thanks. Carious the Bear 19:00, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Possible reference
Isn't his name just a reference to Jack Bauer from the TV series 24?--Burning Freebies 10:49, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I recommend to look on the actual NPC page. Infested Hydralisk  13:55, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure it is, all his quotes make it seem like they're trying to make a reference to him. 69.138.164.205 17:08, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Bounty recurrence
i seriously want this to come up again for the bounty because i want to take my warr (i'm too lazy to do war in kryta stuff with my other chars) bring staff and mod one of my armor sets for energy and just spam flare while under there's not enough time. instant cast, no recharge. of course i'd be doing this in NM though because doing that would be a horrible idea in HM. Daeheru 21:25, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The three Inquisitor bounties are tied to the main quests from Salma, so I doubt they will be repeated.--[[Image:User Pyron Sy sig.png|19px| ]] Pyron Sy 21:41, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Ya i expected that they wouldn't be repeated because of that too. Would still be nice though. Daeheru 22:04, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

has anyone tried this?
Particularly in HM. Fighting this son of a bitch by going from Temple of the Ages and take a long trip all the way to his location. I think that would have helped GREATLY. --Dark Paladin X 04:53, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I think wasting 10 minutes to build a better team to fight him in 5 minutes is easier than wasting 30 minutes to cross 4 zones just to face him with a bigger party.--SharkinuUser Sharkinu sig.png 06:56, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Requirements
I have access to LAK but I don't get the quests offered. Is it because I have the stupid new "The War in Kryta" Quest activated? I can't abandon it. Please tell me that I don't have to do the stupid "Ebon Vanguard Allies" Quest. 88.70.96.233 18:33, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure that is the case. It's not like it's hard to do that though, just takes a bit of time. --Gammastar 03:08, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
