Shards of Orr to Gadd's Encampment

An ancient ghost recounted a haunting tale of piracy and betrayal. Following her defeat during the Second Great Corsair War, the corsair leader Lady Glaive sailed the tattered remnants of her fleet north to the Tarnished Coast. There, she parlayed a deal with King Zoran of Orr, father to King Reza, to gain amnesty for her forces within the caverns we now call the Shards of Orr. Unbeknownst to Lady Glaive, one of her own lieutenants, a young corsair named Fendi, made his own deal with the king's adviser. Fendi betrayed his leader and his crew. Glaive escaped, but most of the crew were slain. Their spirits remain enslaved by the betrayals of the past. Soon afterward, the dark pact Fendi made with the adviser showed its true nature. Fendi joined the ranks of the undead, forced for all eternity to draw his power from the souls of those trapped with him.

— in-game description

The Shards of Orr was originally an armory and storehouse for Orr, before being turned into a refuge for the Queen of Fools crew. After Fendi Nin's betrayal, Glaive escaped, but her ultimate fate remains unknown, and she had to leave the bulk of her crew behind.

Magical energies washed the Tarnished Coast shores after the Cataclysm, making already deadly monsters more powerful from these energies. These energies attracted the Asura as well, who established a secondary Asura Gate to Sparkfly Swamp within the Shards.

Getting there[edit]

From Vlox's Falls head south. You will also pass through this dungeon as part of Finding Gadd. If you have access, you can start directly from Gadd's Encampment (however, if your goal is completing Lost Souls, you will need to visit the other entrance to find Crewmember Shandra; only she can open some of the dungeon locks).

Notes[edit]

  • Completion of this dungeon rewards 1,500 Asuran points in normal mode and 2,250 in hard mode. Completing the dungeon for the first time in each mode rewards twice that.
  • To complete the dungeon, you must destroy the Soul of Fendi Nin.
  • Although Shandra cannot be killed, she does not attack or use skills in the dungeon. On the contrary, she often body blocks allies trying to maneuver.
  • On the second floor, the Northernmost room with three interlinking traps allows an entire party to walk behind the traps against the wall, bypassing them entirely.
  • Completion of this dungeon will fill in page #12 of the Master Dungeon Guide storybook.
Anomaly Anomaly.If Fendi Nin is killed by a flame jet without any interaction from your party, the Soul of Fendi Nin will not appear. Instead, as you approach the jet, Fendi Nin will respawn with full health.
Bug Bug.On very rare occasions, Fendi Nin will not spawn. Unfortunately, there is no work-around; you must restart the dungeon. This happens if you have quests for other dungeons.
Bug Bug.There is an interval of approximately 2 seconds during which Fendi respawns and the soul disappears (these two events do not occur simultaneously - Fendi respawns first). If the soul has been killed before its disappearance and after Fendi's respawn, its death will trigger the chest but will not unspawn Fendi and the archers.

Trivia[edit]

  • The third level's map resembles an extended level of Forgewight's map in Slavers' Exile.
  • In the Eye of the North fankit, a statue of Balthazar was shown in the area visited in level 2. At release, this statue was replaced with a sunspear statue.
