The Vanquisher title tracks are granted to a character who clears all explorable areas of enemies in hard mode. There is one single-tiered title track for each campaign. Acquiring all of them will complete the Legendary Vanquisher title track. These titles can be displayed in the "Honor" monument.

[edit] Acquisition

Vanquisher is a title given for "vanquishing" all explorable areas found in Tyria, Cantha, and Elona. In order to successfully vanquish an area, you must defeat every enemy found in that area in hard mode. Your vanquishing progress can be tracked by monitoring the buff icon that is placed on your character when entering an explorable area in hard mode. As you defeat enemies, the number on the icon will increase with each kill. In addition to the counter, the progress bar found on the bottom of the icon will gradually increase as foes are defeated. The number of foes in an area is not fixed, and is influenced by random-size spawns and certain active quests. The total required to be killed does not include any hidden foes until they spawn (i.e. "pop up") and become visible. For example, the Am Fah in Cantha or the Mandragors in Elona will only increase the required total kills for the area when they appear.

Vanquished areas
Vanquished areas

When an area has been successfully vanquished, a message will appear to notify you of your success. You will then be rewarded with both experience and gold equal to five times the number of monsters defeated in the area. Additionally, the hard mode map icon for the vanquished area will change from a red color to a gold color.

After vanquishing an area, if a spawning of more creatures is triggered (such as hidden foes, or a quest trigger), the area does not become "unvanquished".

An area can be vanquished multiple times, allowing you to repeat a zone to gain the rewards. Progress to the title is still only counted the first time you accomplish it.

If your entire party is killed and every member is at 60% death penalty, all party members will be returned to outpost instead of being resurrected.

[edit] Larger party sizes

You can increase your party size for vanquishing by starting from an outpost further away into the campaign. Be sure not to enter outposts on the way, plan for inventory space, and bring plenty of death removal items. In parentheses is party size, and other required campaign.

[edit] In Prophecies

  • From Yak's Bend (6): access Ascalon up to Eastern Frontier.
  • From the Temple of Ages (8): access Ascalon up to Eastern Frontier, Northern Shiverpeaks, Kryta (everywhere except Watchtower Coast), and Maguuma Jungle.
  • From Mouth of Torment (NF; 8): access the Crystal Desert via Crystal Overlook then Arid Sea.
  • From Camp Rankor or Deldrimor War Camp (8): Shiverpeaks up to Lornar's Pass.

[edit] In Factions

  • From Seitung Harbor (6): Saoshang Trail.

[edit] In Nightfall

[edit] Notes

  • Unspawned popup enemies do not need to be killed to vanquish the area. However, once they have spawned they must be killed.
  • Neutral animals (e.g. Warthogs, Flamingos) do not have to be killed unless they become hostile. Once they are hostile, they must be killed, and will add to the kill count, and the vanquisher bonus for that area. A minion master in need of corpses should kill them anyway.
  • In many areas, the bar of the kill counter will show only a fraction of monsters needed to vanquish the area. As you move around, the monster count will increase while getting more monsters in your radar. Thus the bar may appear near-full well before killing all of the monsters.

[edit] Tips

  • Combines well with Cartographer titles, as both require you to scan the whole map. If doing Cartography, make sure you scrape the borders. In Cantha, for example, Vanquishing & scraping can earn you more than 90% of the Cartographer title.
  • Combines well with Allegiance titles (e.g. Sunspear, Lightbringer, Asura, Norn, and Ebon Vanguard) as you can use bounties to collect allegiance points. Players attempting Allegiance and Vanquisher titles should keep Allegiance for after, to avoid double work.
  • Owners of Eye of the North should consider using the Powerstone of Courage to remove Death Penalty on party members. Alternatively, one can use special festival or event items that reduces or removes Death Penalty for a higher success rate in vanquishing areas.
