[edit] Quest information
[edit] Objectives
- Help the Dwarves locate and flee through the Asuran Gate.
[edit] Reward
- Hero: Ogden Stonehealer
- Hero: Vekk
[edit] Walkthrough
A timer will appear showing "Time remaining to escape", giving you 3 minutes. The easiest way to complete this quest is to double-click on Vekk, Ogden Stonehealer or Borvorel. Your character will follow them, trying to catch up as they run their way to the Asura Gate. A lot of Destroyers will spawn behind your party and chase after. They can be ignored, and it is best to do so as fighting them will eat up time. As you approach the gate, be prepared for your character to stop moving when the NPC you were following enters the gate. Using this strategy, you reach the gate with roughly 40 seconds left – provided you didn't stop to fight.
[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
- The Destroyers are near. We have no choice but to quickly flee to the Asuran Gate.
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
Vekk: The Destroyers are near. We have no choice but to quickly flee to the Asura gate.
Vekk: The gate! Go through the gate! It's that big purple glowing thing! (quote)
[edit] Notes
- Going through the portal will send you to Into the North.
- This quest is automatically added to the quest log upon completion of the cutscene of any one of the preceding quests. This quest is also automatically completed and removed upon entering the Asura Gate, and the follow-up quest, Against the Destroyers is automatically added.
- Trying to fight the Destroyers is a bad idea: The chance of winning is slim and it takes a great part of your time. Also, you can easily walk to the gate without a speed boost and without any combat.
- The quest log says the quest is given in the Tunnels Below Cantha regardless of which continent you came from.
- During the flight, the Guild Wars Eye of the North overture (from the login screen) plays.
