[edit] Walkthrough

The easiest way to complete this quest is to map travel to Doomlore Shrine after accepting it and leave from there. Fight your way through Dalada Uplands to get to Sacnoth Valley. Once there head south until you reach a burning forest. In this forest you will find Ignus the Eternal. While approaching him watch out for Borrguus Blisterbark who patrols the area, fighting them both at the same time will probably kill your team. After you kill Ignus the Eternal head back to Captain Langmar for your reward.

As you will be fighting lots of fire Elementalists, skills such as Interrupts, Mantra of Flame and Ward Against Elements are good choices.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Captain Langmar

"You there, <Player name>. Our scouts have sent word of a towering beast to the south, one that leaves naught but all-consuming flames in its wake. This can only be a Titan, which leaves us all to wonder...how long before it turns north? We cannot fight such a foe when our hands are already full of Charr. I would have you travel to Sacnoth Valley and slay this Titan. Go, before we're all extra crispy."
Yes Accept: "This is one eternal flame that's about to go out."
No Decline: "I think I'll leave the fire-walking to professionals."
Ask Ask: "Look for the living inferno in Sacnoth Valley. The Titan's flames will consume everything if it is not stopped. Trees, fluffy bunnies...everything!"

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

When approaching Ignus:

Gwen: "Is this the last of the "gods" the Charr worship? We must destroy it! They deserve no deities." (if present)
Pyre Fierceshot: "A false god stands before us. We shall see if it can stand against the harsh realities of my wrath!" (if present)

[edit] Reward dialogue

Captain Langmar

"You say the Titan is dispatched, but the fires still burn? Perhaps in time we can find a way to quench the flames, but I am too preoccupied with Charr now to worry about that. We will simply have to sacrifice the forest. Your victory over the Titan has assured our safety. For that we are grateful."

[edit] Notes

  • While Pyre Fierceshot is in range of any of the creatures spawned by the quest, he will automatically resurrect after approximately 3 seconds with the cry of "A false god stands before us. We shall see if it can stand against the harsh realities of my wrath!" If there are a lot of enemies surrounding him when this occurs he is likely to be overwhelmed very quickly by their numbers. It may be necessary to flag him a sufficient distance away so that the enemies that trigger this move away, allowing the party to resurrect fully at the active shrine.

[edit] Trivia

  • The name of the quest is likely a reference to a well-known quote from the movie Apocalypse Now, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning!"
