Cleansing the Silent Surf (Hard mode)

Clean Silent Surf of the Afflicted.

Objectives

 * Defeat the Afflicted in the Silent Surf.
 * See Initiate Zei Ri for your reward.

Reward

 * 5,000 Experience
 * 1,000 Gold
 * 2 Ministerial Commendations

Walkthrough
Start from Unwaking Waters and kill the Afflicted. There are 2-3 waves with several groups in each wave. The groups in each wave stagger from each other, but do overlap. It is easy to get quickly overwhelmed. The resurrection shrine is nearby - either at the entrance if aligned with the Luxons or on the island to the North East if aligned with the Kurzicks.

However, you can stay away from where the Afflicted converge and pull foes away from the area to make the encounter less deadly.

Initial dialogue

 * Initiate Zei Ri
 * "This is our last battle here on the Jade Sea, but this won't be easy. The Afflicted have massed in incredible numbers at the Silent Surf. Other members of the Ministry of Purity are traveling there, as well. We will need a large show of force if we are to win this battle. It's almost as though the Afflicted know that their backs are against the wall, and all they can do is desperately lash out like this. It's a futile effort, though. For the good of everyone, we will put them to rest. Will you fight with us?"

Intermediate dialogue
Upon arrival at the spawnspot.
 * Initiate Zei Ri: "Look alive! Our enemy is upon us!"

During the battle.
 * Initiate Zei Ri: "For the safety of Cantha, you will be terminated"
 * Initiate Zei Ri: "Come! Come to us and find your final release! We will free your spirit from its torment!"

At the start of the second wave.
 * Initiate Zei Ri: "Impossible! There's still more of them? No matter. We will take all that come!"
 * Initiate Zei Ri: "Fight on! They may have numbers, but we have justice. The ancestors are on our side!"

After the second wave.
 * Initiate Zei Ri: "Their numbers swell, we are nearing the end. Brace yourselves and fight! Fight for Cantha!"

When all Afflicted are killed.
 * Initiate Zei Ri: "To think that there were so many of them. I've never seen them fight like this."
 * Player: "It's almost like they knew what they were facing and what this battle meant. Do you think...?"
 * Initiate Zei Ri: "We did what was right. That is what's important. Come on, the Echovald Forest awaits us."

Reward dialogue

 * Initiate Zei Ri
 * "The Jade Sea is cleansed. We are finally at the end of our task; the next battle will be our last against the Afflicted. Are you ready?"

Note

 * When ministry allies die during the battle, they do not resurrect (with the exception of Initiate Zei Ri).
 * You dont need to kill all the afflicted. Some mobs do not count to the quest progression. Though it is nearly impossible to know which groups count to quest after they gather on the center, if you pull and kill certain groups you will get the credit for the quest while some groups of afflicted are still alive.
