Notes

The Guild Wars 2 Wiki has an article on Vehtendi Academy.

• Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 2.9% to the Elonian Cartographer title.
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 242 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 225 to 259 foes.
  • The quest Rally The Princes reduces the number of foes and removes the bosses Bohdalz the Furious and Jarimiya the Unmerciful.
  • Starting the vanquish from Yahnur Market minimises the amount of backtracking to clear out the area on the other side of the outpost.
  • If you are having trouble getting to the space in the center islands, recall that the path leads from the hanging gardens in the northeast.
  • Be careful when vanquishing the southwestern area of the map. Four boss groups are relatively close to each other.

Trivia

• This is one of the few areas in Guild Wars where the ambient environment of the area resembles nighttime.
