Guild Wars 2

I’m having some serious problems trying to beat this event. I’m a level 23 Ele and even though they boost you up to level 80, it doesn’t seem to help much. During the second wave with the first veteran is when I usually die because I try to take him out but all my helping NPCs end up dying and then I’m left by myself. I’ve made it to the end with only 3 enemies left, but again, I was left by myself and killed. It’s very frustrating that even though you are raised to level 80 that this is still difficult. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m normally level 23 or what? But I’m just looking for some advice to try and clear this, but it’s seems impossible right now.

I was able to complete the solo Ceremony and Acrimony instance with a low level character (lvl 7); however, it was very difficult as I just started the game not even a week ago for the first time. The veterans nearly killed me each time and I had to lure them back and have assistance from the NPCs. I finally managed to run past most of them and had one follow me at a time, picking them off. No easy task, so I would say that the instance should scale with your current character otherwise, all new content that ANet releases seems that newbies will get frustrated with and essentially not play as much as the developers want them to. Thoughts on this?

I definitely think they should scale it to your current level, especially if they are wanting you to solo this with basically useless NPCs. It’s very frustrating trying to pick off the veteran, but then lesser enemies get pulled from afar and end up in a circle around you.

Yep same thing happened to me. I had to replay from the checkpoint several times before I was even remotely successful. It can be done, you just need a ton of patience. Believe me, if it was a group one, I would assist you in a heart beat sir. Your best course of action is to slowly bring one at a time back, so you don’t get overwhelmed. The only issue you can encounter with this method is they tend to run back if you don’t stay close enough. You need to ensure you are still hitting them otherwise they run back and any damage you did, they get full health again!

I’d very much appreciate some help. A buddy of mine was going to help me do it, but we quickly realized that Anet screwed everyone who isn’t normally a level 80. I’ll try picking them off one by one, but I’m just worried about pulling the others while in the process. Thanks for the advice, maybe I’ll beat it eventually, but it’s very discouraging not being able to clear this.

Okay that sounds good. Picking them off one by one will work well, just when you turn the corner, try to get some of the grenadiers and vets to pull them back to the NPCs right before the bridge. Once you have most of those, run as fast as you can pass the rest and head up to the stairs around the bend. Pull one by one for the remainder there and pull them up the stairs and next to the guards with the giant shields and swords, they help out immensely. If you manage to move all enemies away from the caravan, it will auto complete the mission for you. I was still fighting the vet, and it said I got the achievement and I was like, wow! Finally! LoL.

Well I picked them off one by one and used the guards help at the first gate opening. That helped with most of them. The problem was at the very end and I had a veteran and 6 enemies left. I ran to the beginning of the quest to see if that would rez some party members and it did. They only took out one member before being killed again. So I did the same thing and when I came back the party members were revived and they were still fighting, but it said I completed the quest. Everyone died AGAIN, but I was just happy that it was over with. I still say this is terribly flawed. If I hadn’t had the patience to pick them off and then wait for NPCs to revive then I wouldn’t have ever completed it. I just say good luck to anyone else who has been having trouble with this.

Glad I could assist you, believe me I was getting highly frustrated with this as well. At least you can continue the next story line portion and get one step closer to getting your shattered dragon wings chest item,

Yes, finally, lol. Thank you very much. I just feel bad for anyone who is also a lower level. The level 80 raise does nothing.
