Walkthrough

This quest requires the completion of four sub-quests given also by Instructor Ng. The order of completion is entirely optional.

Skill Chaining

If you are a Monk focused on support, Skill Chaining is a rather difficult part (depending on your secondary class). Support Monks tends to struggle with dealing enough damage, and chaining alone does not complete the quest. It is advised to alter your build to something more offensive. Temporarily investing points in Smiting Prayers is a good choice. Use interruption and knock-down skills such as Leech Signet (Mesmer) and Bane Signet, as it buys you some time to deal more damage. Otherwise, focus on your secondary class as much as possible.
