[edit] Walkthrough

Shortly after the cutscene, your party will be attacked by a small group of Charr. Dispatch them, then move on. Your party has the choice of assaulting the Charr garrison, or participating in optional objectives to weaken the garrison. The optional objectives are not difficult as long as you don't get overwhelmed by the roaming patrols.

Charr Firereigners drop explosive charges after they are defeated. These charges are used to destroy the supply caravan (optional objective 1), destroy the watchtowers (optional objective 2), and launched by the siege devourers at the garrison (optional objective 3). Either have a caster in your party carry the charges, or wait until you are ready to use them. Once the charge is placed on the ground, it detonates.

The supply caravan (location number 1 on the map) is guarded by a few groups of Charr. Dispatch them, and then use an explosive charge to destroy the caravan. The siege devourers (locations number 2 and 4 on the map) are guarded by one or two groups of Charr. Dispatch them, then feed an explosive charge to the devourer. Shortly after the devourer launches a charge, he will be bombarded and killed. The watchtowers (locations number 3 and 5 on the map) are guarded by one or two groups of Charr. Again, dispatch them and destroy the tower.

The garrison (location 6 on the map) consists of several groups of Charr in a small area. Use normal pulling strategies to separate the groups and dispatch them accordingly. Then, move in and destroy Harvest Soulreign. This will lead to a cutscene and begin The Dawn of Rebellion.

[edit] Repeating

Having completed the quest once, you may want to rush through the mission when repeating it for your Hero's Handbook. If so, run to the helmet in Grothmar Wardowns to get the mission and:
rush / repeat mission path
  1. As soon as the mission starts, set off to the South East - the group approaching from the North East will not follow you.
  2. Cross the bridge, waiting for the two groups of Charr to separate before attacking them.
  3. Head East along the bottom of the area, avoiding the few groups of Charr nearby. when you reach a cliff, you will need to kill two more groups on the road.
  4. Head straight to the stronghold. If you wait just South of the mission objective star, a devourer catapult will come towards you separately from its group, making it easier to kill.
  5. Kill the Charr in the fort. Be careful, as there will be more enemies than you might have previously encountered here (this is because you have not completed the optional objectives).
  • If you follow the repeat map, from the moment you exit Longeye's Ledge until you finish the quest, it shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes.

[edit] Grothmar Wardowns

Vanguard Helmet
Do you want to examine the helmet?
YesYes. (The Battlefield plays)
NoNo.

[edit] At the carts

Groknar Weazlewortz: Prepare for battle, prey. You will find no mercy here.
Gwen: You're the ones who will be begging for mercy. (only if Gwen is in the party)
<Party leader>: We're not here to seek mercy, unfortunately...for you. (only if Gwen is not in the party)
Groknar Weazlewortz: Grr. Impudent whelp. I shall skewer your body and devour your carcass whole.

[edit] Approaching the northern Devourer

Anmat the Trickster: Look lively, troops. Our lunch has arrived.
Vekk: Ha ha ha ha. Good one. The big oaf thinks you're his lunch. Wait, was he referring to me? (only if Vekk is in the party; takes precedence over Ogden)
Ogden Stonehealer: Bah. You'll break your teeth on my hide, kitty. (only if Ogden is in the party)

[edit] Approaching the southern Devourer

Gwen: Hand over the devourer, you mangy beasts. (only if Gwen is in the party)
<Party leader>: We need this devourer. Walk away and we'll spare your lives. (only if Gwen is not in the party)
Frazar Frostfur: We don't take orders from prey. And we never walk away from a fight.

[edit] Completing all optional tasks

<Party leader>: That's as much as we can do from out here. Let's make our way to the camp.

[edit] Entering the Charr camp

<Party leader>: Where are the Vanguard captives? What have you done to them?
Harvest Soulreign: You slaughter your way through my camp and demand information from me? You'll find no answers here, only death!
Gwen: Death is what we seek. It suits your kind well. (only if Gwen is in the party)
Ogden Stonehealer: Perhaps we should jog his memory...with our weapons. Answer the question, furball. Now! (only if Ogden is in the party and Gwen is not)
Vekk: If you're ignorant of this information, simply admit as such. It's a simple question, really. Do you know where they are, or not? (only if neither Gwen nor Ogden are in the party, and Vekk is)
<Party leader>: I ask again. Did the captives pass through here? Tell us what you know and we shall spare you. (only if neither Gwen, Ogden nor Vekk are in the party)
Harvest Soulreign: You dare speak to me as an equal? The Shamans command here, and we command you to die!
