[edit] Walkthrough
There are two ways to defeat this mission: The normal/front way and the back way. The back way is easier and guarantees a master's reward, however, it takes considerably longer.
[edit] Front way
Walk up to the turtles and get all three smoke canisters from Petras, which provide targets for the Siege Turtles. These can be used to do mass damage to enemies as they try to make their way to the turtles. Since the Young Turtles die very quickly, keeping the enemies from getting close is essential. Especially the devastating Kurzick Juggernauts, which can kill your Siege turtles. Good placement of the smoke canisters is key to survival. Place them in front of groups approaching. Tanks should try to hold enemy aggro while standing on top of a smoke canister.
Once the group has made its way to the southernmost mark and killed the Kurzicks located there, a brief cutscene will show, and then the Afflicted will start their assault from the northern gate. After this, the mission is complete.
Note that the enemies will spawn once the siege turtles reach certain points on their way and might come from all sides, including the back. All the places where a battle will start are marked on the map.
[edit] Back way
Talk to Petras to get a smoke canister and run to the right, NW corner, and drop the cannister there. Hug the right hand wall and make your way to the very south of the map. Then move up the mission path "backwards", killing all Kurzicks on the way. Since you lack the siege turtles' firepower, be careful not to be overwhelmed - Best technique here is to lure Juggernaught group and then run out of the way of massive Kurzick forces that rush to that location. Kill these, with good lures, at your leisure. Draw each subsequent group and keep an eye on rush attacks. After arriving back at the turtles and killed all but one group of Juggernaughts (marked on map), take the remaining smoke canisters and immediately drop them on the baby turtles. Kurzick groups will charge at the turtles from the sides while Juggernauts will come from the North. Dropping the canisters on the baby turtles will help take care of most of the Kurzick forces and the Juggernauts can be killed before they reach the turtles. Grab a cannister and follow the group. There will be 2 short fights left on the way, so don't rush ahead of the turtles, but those will not pose any danger to the group. If the turtles get stuck drop a cannister and let the siege turtles shoot for a bit and pick the cannister back up. The dialog should continue. The final attack of the afflicted is easy to defend against by making use of the smoke canisters and the NPCs around.
[edit] Skill recommendations
- Minion masters can prove very useful whichever route you take. The large numbers of Kurzicks will easily provide enough corpses for 2 MMs, and the extra bodies serve to distract them from the baby turtles (if going the front way) or from your party members (if going the back way).

[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Opening Cinematic
- Argo: "Let's move it out. The gods know we move at barely more than a crawl."
- <player name>: "Here they come."
- Argo: "Damn predictable Kurzicks."
- Argo: "I knew those cowards would come for the young turtles."
- Argo: "You, take up the right. Don't let those Kurzicks within a hundred paces."
- Argo: "I'm glad you're with us. We'll need all the help we can get."
- <player name>: "Your fight is my fight."
- Argo: "Watch yourself out there. The Kurzicks are a dastardly bunch."
- Argo: "Pay particular care to their juggernauts, the golem-like things that resemble walking trees."
- Argo: "They're especially dangerous to the turtles."
- <player name>: "I'll take care of them."
- Argo: "Well then, good luck. We'll see you at Creon Jade Mine."
[edit] Initial dialogue
- Petras: "Do you see those engines of war mounted on the turtles down there?"
- Petras: "They can do a lot of damage, especially if they all fire on the same target."
- Petras: "We use smoke canisters to designate targets for the siege turtles to attack. Just drop one on the ground and get out of the way."
- Petras: "The canister will emit smoke, and the turtle will fire on that location."
- Petras: "I've only go three of them, so be sure to reuse the ones you take and don't leave them behind. Just take them from me as you need them."
- Argo: "Turtle clan, move out!"

- Petras: "Your options are limited."

[edit] End Cinematic
- Luxon Soldier 3: "I say we skin them and use their hides for sails."
- Luxon Soldier 4: "No. They'd be far more valuable as workers."

- Kurzick Soldier 1: "You scum."
- Kurzick Soldier 2: "You will pay for this."
- Luxon Soldier 3: "Those are pretty big words from someone who's about to learn the true meaning of pain."
- Master Togo: "You must stop your squabbling. This feud has gone on long enough."
- Luxon Soldier 4: "So why should we stop it now?"
- <player name>: "Because you now have a common enemy."
- Luxon Soldier 4: "Who?"
- Master Togo: "Do you not see? Shiro the Betrayer has returned."
- Luxon Soldier 3: "Shiro is dead. Even the Kurzicks will tell you that."
- <player name>: "How do you account for the Afflicted then?"
- <player name>: "Where Shiro goes, the Afflicted are never far behind."
- <player name>: "He's the source. And if we're fighting these monstrosities, then he's sure to be near."
- Kurzick Soldier 1: "As much as it pains me to admit, Togo is right. There is no other explanation."
- Kurzick Soldier 1: "Shiro has returned."
- Luxon Soldier 4: "They make sense."
- Luxon Soldier 3: "And what would you have us do, Master Togo?"
- Master Togo: "I would have you stop bickering like school children and start forming an alliance."
- Master Togo: "Only together will we have the strength to defeat him."
- Luxon Soldier 3: "Forgive me, Master Togo. You have never steered us wrong before."
- Luxon Soldier 3: "We will do whatever it takes to destroy Shiro once and for all..."
- Luxon Soldier 3: "...even if that means allying with the Kurzicks."
- Master Togo: "Then let us find Brother Mhenlo."
- Master Togo: "I hope he has made as much progress with the Kurzicks as we have here today."
- Kurzick Soldier 1: "Brother Mhenlo... he was with Baron Vasburg. They were on their way to the Harvest Temple."
- Master Togo: "Then we too must head to the Harvest Temple. Thank you."
