Guild Wars 2

For all that’s holy in the world of Tyria, since the OoM update I’ve been trying to get Rytlock’s dialogue documented in Bloodtide Coast.

Lose, win, fail, whatever happens I can NEVER find him after the event (Triple Trouble), nor before, nor while it happens. I’ve no idea of what triggers it, where it spawns or where he goes.

Does anyone have any idea?

Or a developer, that would be much appreciated.

What are we talking about here?

i think he or she is talking about the dialog for origins of maddness?
if i see rytlock i will let you know eh

Rytlock runs (ran?) around in bloodtide investigating the wurm site probes using the waypoints. It was on reddit a few weeks back.

Yes, he suppossedely appears at some point investigating the probes. But, yeah… I have not been lucky enough to find him.

did he have audio? that kinda sux if they called in the voice actor for something a lot of people missed.. prolly cuz of the wurm z_z

I believe so. I don’t know why so much secrecy around it. I asked a dev and was told she/he can’t say. I’m afraid he will be gone and forgotten. Just want to get the dialogue on the wiki.

Here’s the original thread documenting this.

Hope that helps. I haven’t run into him yet either.

I’m pretty sure he won’t spawn anymore now that the Origins of Madness event is over (just like how Rox and Co. disappeared from Lornar’s Pass after the initial 2 weeks were over). Which is a shame, really. A lot of lore is being lost to posterity because the Wiki archivists don’t get a chance to document it properly before it goes away.

I agree.

Although Rytlock’s aide-camp says he’s still there, so there still might be a chance to see him.

But I just don’t get why would you keep this hidden like this. Specially because it contains important and relevant information. It makes no sense.

Sadly we all got to nothing in that thread. Someone was lucky to record some of it, but that’s just it.

rytlock has no pants!

So, find the pants in order to find Rytlock? I’ll get on it!

From what I have heard the event only triggers after a successful wurm kill.

Sadly, I’ve won and never found him.

You must wield some impressive powers indeed, if you can just walk up to Rytlock and remove him. But thank you for sharing that.

Thanks so much for this, Sarah! Somebody grab Konig or one of the other Wiki gurus and get them over here!

Yes! I love reading all this stuff, especially if I missed it in game. Thanks for posting the dialogue!

Sarah, after a month of trying from all angles to get this, I truly appreciate this from the bottom of my heart! Thank you!

P.S. Someone said they had dialogues if you talked to Rytlock or Junia, giving background to Junia that might be implying she’ll be important at some point. Is it true? If so, it would be awesome to have them too if it’s not too much to ask.

He probably left the second Lion’s Arch got throttled, realizing that if it’s getting hit, the Black Citadel could be next. To be honest, I was rather surprised to see that Scarlet only hit Lion’s Arch, but didn’t bother sending any enemy troops into the other major cities. I was hoping to see the Charr blow apart the bridge and the Asura gate in the Black Citadel.

That would mean dividing her forces. Making them easier to break for us and to interrupt her machinations. Plus, she gains nothing from attacking other cities.

Sarah wears ascended Devlar armour and dual wields a pair of pearly handled Dev-olvers. Rytlock aint got nothing on her!

Thanks for posting the transcripts!

I tried the wurm event probably 50+ times and I never even knew this content existed! I think this is a major problem for the LS content in general. I know it’s nice for stuff to be hidden but there becomes a point where its ‘too’ hidden. As in, so rare or only triggered by a certain sequence of events that a very very small percentage of the playerbase ever gets to see it. Its such a shame that such quality content might only be seen and appreciated by a handful of people.

OTOH, there is an even bigger problem in my opinion in which player battle-cries and one-liners interrupt the flow of the LS conversations and make it ruin the experience of drawing you into the story. There is nothing worse than hearing “For Great Justice!” and “I feel…STRONG!” every 2 seconds while listening to Taimi and Braham talk to each other in the EotM. Adjusting audio levels can help to an extent except for the fact that Dialogue and Player shouts are tied into the same volume slider.

usually non-ambient npc dialogues are recorded in the log ^
also, it’s ‘scenes’ like this that make the game awesome.. it’s a bonus when you run upto a character and get a ‘talk’ instead of a ‘greet’ as long as such things remain simple to navigate.. i remember in “moment’s peace” logan kind of just walks off.. i was like q_q come back, i must read you..

anyway, thanks much for posting this.. i’m surprised arenanet doesn’t have someone working for them who has direct access to certain materials and free time to catalogue/record them so they can be released in an official/unofficial capacity.. again, i appreciate just being able to read that though

as for the lore.. i found it strange that the wurm appearance somewhat triangulates over http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Krait_Place_of_Power
although it’s a ‘krait’ place of power, and the location is overrun with risen.. i found the wording interesting.. Primal force, heart of the Planet..

kitten . I missed this one totally, mainly because I wasn’t at all interested in the Wurm events.

Maybe it’s an idea that after an event has finished, the scripts are made public on either the site or the forums for people to read them and use it for future reference

Well you could always enter them into the Wiki…

Wasn’t the point of this thread the fact that the event was gone before anyone had a chance to do that?

I’m pretty sure lots of people had that chance, none just chose to.

But yes, this was hidden pretty well from view. The best solution would obviously have been to have it more visible and/or advertised somehow so that more people would have happened to it (and thus more likely to add it to the Wiki).

Thanks for posting, Sarah. The dialogue you provided is very much appreciated. I added it into the wiki in Rytlock’s quotes page.

Such a shame I missed this dialogue in the game itself; it sure is interesting. Hopefully we’ll see more of Junia Twistgear in the future. ^^

Oh, nice log of the conversations. I missed them completely. Thanks Sarah.

I have to play without sound and I read fast, so the opposite can also be true…

Sarah Sperry.9301:

I mean…..errrrrr…..

He left all on his own! He’s got business to attend to!

:)

Thanks for the info

This is unfortunately exactly what is wrong with the living story right now though. All that work, and the only way we can ever see it again is to ask a dev on the forums to post conversation logs :/
I really hope you guys get the technology required to circumvent this problem before the next “living story chapter” gets started. Whether that be through some form of instance replay system, a restructuring of how the story is delivered, or whatever else.

I honestly want more of these transcripts done. It’s hard to get all of them specially if u don’t have enough time to play the game. Not to mention u can’t remember the continuation of the story and so on.

As for the triangulation… so it triangulated in Bloodtide Coast….but the probe went gree in LA which is another map. What’s up with that?

triangulation is a system of measurements.. scarlet used All the probes to ’zero in’ on Lion’s arch.. the ones near bloodtide shook up the wurm, but i don’t think it’s integral to what she’s looking for..
i just think the skillpoint there is part of a recurring theme of dark magic and dragon corruption.. a possible prelude? it’s interesting to see several variations of that throughout tyria.. as for logical deduction of where the living story is going.. *shrugs*

Oh that’s interesting , so there might be no dragon after all but a huge magical energy source which can make creatures stronger?

Mmm let’s say this source mutated tequatl and those normaly easy to kill jungle worms.

The thing scarlet may want is only this energy to transform herself into something?

in the tower of nightmares lab, i found the seed she was making more resilient interesting.. but then again, i found the steam creatures interesting and the only thing it had to do with the plot was she reverse engineered them z_z

I saw the original Reddit post about this a few weeks ago when the wurm event first started. I hung out after every event near Cobalt (event was always a failure) and I never saw Rytlock. I did this for a few days trying to catch him, but I never caught him. I’m wondering (because the dev said he spawned even if the event failed) if it might have been bugged? I seriously waited from one wurm event to the next in the cobalt area all day.
