Talk:The Great Destroyer

From Guild Wars Wiki

Great Destroyer = Gwen??? Why not? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:201.9.197.153 .

Because there's absolutely no evidence, maybe? An innocent girl doesn't become an epic villain without a very good motive. I could just as easily say Lady_Althea is the Great Destroyer.-- Mafaraxas 21:04, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Wait, she isn't? :P --Santax 10:25, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

• Im sure u can guess who i'd call the Great Dwarf then... I have my reasons, but im at work so no time to give more... well what do yas think?--Midnight08 03:55, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

if it is whom you say it is, it would make balthazar the great dwarf. could be true, i mean god of fire= smiting(making stuff and such). great dwarf. dwarfs make exelent armor. you could be right with this --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:82.136.203.25 (talk).

[edit] Great Destroyer

what? This doesnt make any sense at all, why did the "great destroyer" wake up when nobody read the tome of rubicon? For that matter where is the tome of rubicon? Why was "the great destroyer" such a push-over? From a lore point of view, the whole eotn story line doesnt make any sense. What the hell is that huge statue? Answers!! I demand spoilers for gw2! --Lou-Saydus 19:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

What you don't realize what the real Great destroyer is? And btw You can read form the tome of rubicon. Its saying the Great destroyer's True name that wakes him.. ~ Zero rogue x 09:22, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Or the Great Dwarf's true name, saying either one is supposed to set the final battle in motion. I have a feeling that the Dwarves used his true name in that ritual. -- Gordon Ecker 23:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure you're wrong about that. Otherwise the world would have ended a few hundred times in just the past year if that was the case (the great dwarf is shown to be Droknar). --70.51.121.212 21:22, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually,I think there is mention in either EN, or the Sorrow's Furnace quest that naming either the Great Dwarf, or the Great Destroyer would destroy the world. Yukiko 21:30, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Well I have and an answer for your statue question. The staute is one of the ancient dragons, promehious. The great destroyer was merlery his greatest general.There'll be more with the release of GW2. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:65.33.248.77 (talk).

Primordus. -- Gordon Ecker 00:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Zelda

does anyone else see a strong resemblence of the end boss from Zelda - Minish Cap in the cave of flames? it's exactly the same strange creature, and in the Third Vision, it even spits out those flames just as in the zelda game. of course, in zelda it's sitting in its lava pit, so you can't see its legs. - Y0_ich_halt 19:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that as well. the resembelence is quite striking, to say the least. be interesting if we had to defeat the great destroyer in the same way.... Wandering Traveler 02:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

nope, it's a stupid bare-hit fight. zelda is so much more interesting when it comes to that :P - Y0_ich_halt 13:05, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I beg to differ, I think physically The Great Destroyer has nothing in common with Gleerok. In fact, their only similar characteristics are that they are both lava dwellers. If we're comparing them on that sole fact, then obviously The Great Destroyer resembles The Great Dodongo. Hey! They both have The Great in their name!!! Oh, I was being sarcastic. --ChristopherRodrigues 17:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

um... do you even know what Gleerok looks like? - Y0_ich_halt 19:19, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

emily just confirmed it was not intended. - Y0_ich_halt 19:23, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Really A God?

"Primordus was the first of the ancient dragons to awaken, calling his servants from their slumber. With his breath, he twisted earth and stone, shaping creatures and giving them life. Although the death of the Great Destroyer, his most powerful general, set back the dragon's awakening by two generations, Primordus once again rose to create ever more minions far beneath the ground. To this day, he continues to spread his power throughout the deep caverns beneath Tyria." Doesn't that mean he isn't a god, only a powerful monster made by a Dragon?--TimOfDoom 16:04, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, what are you referencing? -Kumdori (to lazy to log)-160.23.244.253 16:15, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

he's talking about the gods overview box. - Y0_ich_halt 16:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree. It should be removed from the god box, and so it the Great Dwarf. If the Great Destroyer is not a god, I don't think the Great Dwarf is a god either. Lightblade 18:10, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Begging the question of what the Great Dwarf really is. --24.179.151.252 21:55, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Balthazar's general maybe...Great destroyer is Primordious's general, Dragons have the same strength as a god (or hopefully a lot more, abbadon was pitiful) and a God Level Creature's general should not qualify as a godKiller Revan 23:21, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I think the point is not that he was actually a god, but that the dwarfs revered to him as the god of evil. Much like the Unseen Ones Rhydeble 07:56, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I think we should just stick with the true 5 gods in the navbox. — ク Eloc 貢 05:38, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I think the navbox should include all current and former members of the main pantheon (in other words the five plus Abaddon, Dhuum and the Goddess of Truth). -- Gordon Ecker 11:21, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, Abaddon was a god, but he was such a pushover because, don't forget, he was chained down and had limited power. He was weakened by being exiled for so long, otherwise he wouldn't need any help getting out. Kormir and Dhuum on the other hand, are not gods. Kormir was given "god-like qualities/abilities", despite the fact that they call her Goddess of truth. I'd say, at the most, she's an immortalized martyr. Dhuum was the god of Death, but then was overthrown by Grenth. Doesn't that imply that he is no longer a god? Let's see... if you're the God of america, then you get overthrown, then you're no longer god of anything, right? I'd say he was severely weakened by grenth, and became, let's say, a "lesser god." Oh, boy, I wish they made like a expansion where you could relive the past when the Gods were still in Tyria. --ChristopherRodrigues 17:40, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Or one where you could be a god back when there were like, millions of them!--70.71.240.170 08:37, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Flame Jet

New HM skill? The description says "Skill. A jet of lava shoots out to target foe dealing 600 damage. If that foe is under the effects of an Enchantment, the damaged is halved.". He's used it twice on me, both times doing more than 1k+ dmg >_> --Doll 21:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Seems like it, maybe now he'll be a challenge? ~ Kurd 21:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

prot spirit... union... idk... ia is still predictable. - Y0_ich_halt 21:59, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

The behavior is unpredictable. 1k... T.T Lightblade 01:44, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

have two monks in your party, both with prot spirit equipped. or use a bonder that stays completely outta range somewhere on another platform. - Y0_ich_halt 18:22, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BUG

Here's a bug I discovered last night - when the destroyer sinks into the larva, summoning ebon vangard assassins (I used 2x L21 assassins with signet of illusions and arcane echo), will break its invulnerability, causing it to take damage.

how, exactly? you mean you just use that skill and he's vulnerable again, or you summon the assassin and it can attack the destroyer? - Y0_ich_halt 15:04, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A minor tip is to try and interrupt Lava Ground (see skill) and Lava Wave (heals).

I don't think this is a good tip. I brought Zho into my party and she said interupting just makes it madder, so use them wisely.--§ Eloc § 02:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

because he uses Enraged Blast whenever he gets interrupted. it's good to interrupt as long as your monks can carry that. - Y0_ich_halt 13:18, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Pain Inverter + Enraged Blast = very dead Great Destroyer (or did, it was nerfed after all)Killer Revan 23:23, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Makes me glad I beat the mission before the nerf :) — ク Eloc 貢 23:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I think they buffed its' Health. They seem to have done the same thing with Ilsundur. -- Gordon Ecker 04:33, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't know what they did to him, but he is tough as nails now....--76.2.225.9 00:46, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Really? I had a tough time before they buffed him =S — ク Eloc 貢 04:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Just finished it, and Pain Inverter + Enraged Blast still = very dead Great Destroyer. -- 121.44.83.214 07:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm interested to let the great destroyer kill himself, you sure zho can activate this skill? not sure if zho is the leetest interupter out there or not...Also, just go with Pain inverter then 2 Echo[elite] + Obsidian Flame earth eles, have the rest of their build random wards, stick alkar's acid and breath of the great dwarf on your build and this is the easiest quest in EoTN -Rella --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:68.116.156.71 .

I just saw a 55hp pwn him with Illusion of Pain ~ SCobra 15:18, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

It's really sad that the final boss in the entire GW1 world can be solo'd by a 55 using Shield of Regen and a simple degen spell (The 55 I just saw used Conjure Nightmare)...--Srakin 18:16, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Enraged Blast Is A Self-Kill

Just defeated him with heroes and henchies using no special builds. Simply put Pain Inverter on him and DO interrupt his skills whenever you can - I am R5 Asura and, when he used it, the yellow 80s were flying out of him like crazy. Eldin 19:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Is there an actual reason he's killable? There was for abbadon, but there hasn't been anything offered here.--142.22.186.7 17:41, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Great destroyer

any connection to Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails Song, the great destroyer that last part of the song is i hope they cannot see the limitless potential living inside of me to murder everything I hope they cannot see I am the great destroyer Shadowshock 01:00, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

none whatsoever. this is why trivia is a bad idea --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:67.160.44.175 (talk).
