[edit] 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 somewhat speeds up fights if you bring it along. 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 pose as 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.

[edit] Master's reward

Since the "normal" way to fight the mission is very quick, all groups should be able to achieve master's reward, unless there is a wipe.

[edit] 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 capturable 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 time.

[edit] Opening Cinematic

Togo: "First we locate Elder Rhea. She is the key to finding and securing the Spear of Archemorus."
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."

[edit] Initial dialogue

Elder Rhea: "Hear me, Luxons. The imperial dragon of the north has sent its champions in search of the Spear of Archemorus. They shall have it only if they are worthy.
Elder Rhea: "Enter the arena, outsiders. Fight for your lives. Fight for the spear. The Convocation has begun!"

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

When Daeman's team enters the arena.

Daeman: "No outsider shall steal what belongs to the Luxon Armada. We are the Crab! Unrelenting. Unbending. Unbreakable.

When Daeman's team is defeated.

Daeman: "How is it possible?"

When Aurora's team enters the arena.

Aurora: "Do not think the Serpent will fall as easily as the reckless Crab. Be warned: where the Serpent strikes, death is sure to follow."

When Aurora's team is defeated.

Aurora: "I welcome this death."

When Argo's team enters the arena.

Argo: "It has been many years since the roar of the Canthan dragon has been heard in the Jade Sea. Your strength and courage brings honor to you and your people."

When Argo's team is defeated.

Argo: "Forgive me, my friends."

[edit] Intermediate Cinematic

Elder Rhea: "You have bested our champions and earned the right to fight Zhu Hanuku."
Elder Rhea: "I believe this is what you came for. The Spear of Archemorus is yours."
<player name>: "Thank you, Elder Rhea. We accept the spear and the honor of fighting the kraken."
<player name>: "We shall make you proud."
Elder Rhea: "Yes. I expect you shall."

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

Elder Rhea: "The Spear of Archemorus becomes more powerful with each death that occurs within its range. Try to kill enemies at close range whenever possible while carrying the spear."

[edit] End Cinematic

<player name>: "The kraken is dead."
Togo: "A more well-deserved victory I have not witnessed."
Brother Mhenlo: "Master Togo. Master Togo."
Togo: "Mhenlo, come celebrate with us. We have the Spear of Archemorus."
Brother Mhenlo: "It's none to soon. Shiro is on the move."
<player name>: "What? Where?"
Brother Mhenlo: "He was last seen in the undercity, below Kaineng."
Togo: "Then we must go the undercity."
Togo: "We will take this fight to Shiro."
