So Kaineng just managed to kill this kitten, and some of us are hoping to keep the temple clear for a few hours. How long is it till he respawns to retake the Temple? I tried timing this a long time ago, but I can’t really remember my results. I’m thinking a little past an hour. Does anyone know for sure?

there was already a thread for this…. just look down a few posts. There’s even a Red tag in front of it ..also; most temples remain that way for 90 minutes before reverting to Risen control

So I did some more research on this.

A buddy and I have been killing the Risen Priest of Grenth for the better part of the day to find out more about his spawn time. I think I have it pretty much down.

The first time you cleanse the temple, he returns 90 minutes later to retake it. If you kill him after he comes back, he’ll respawn in 80 minutes. Kill him again and it’s 70 minutes, then 60 after that. We waited around near 50 minutes, expecting him to follow the pattern, but he instead respawned at 70 minutes.

We’re currently waiting for his next respawn as I post this, and I’ve got alarms set for 50 minutes, 60 minutes, and 70 minutes, so we don’t miss him. I’ll update more times as he comes back. Anyways, it’s been a blast fighting the guy and keeping the temple clear for our server.

Also, some things I found out about the event…
After the temple is cleared, an Asura named Xanf will have an event that you can start where he leads you to the back of the temple to set up a machine to keep the Orrian Spectral Weapons out.
The Champion Risen Spider is by far the most dangerous foe in the entire chain. When it rears back, dodge it’s web or it will pull you in to lay eggs, which Veteran Risen Spiders hatch out of. Not sure of the number but I think it spawns around 5 each time.
The Champion Wraith can be interrupted during it’s massive life-siphoning move, despite how many stacks of defiance it has.
When the Priest comes to retake the temple, you don’t have to protect Jonez, nor does he spawn any shades. You do have to kill him within 6 minutes though.
The Priest launches MANY more AoE’s during the retaking event, which I’m guessing makes up for lack of shades.
Lastly, during the retaking event, a cool black flame burns in the back of the room, where the Priest spawns. It doesn’t seem to do anything.

So this time it was 80 minutes. Looks like he might keep up with this pattern, which right now is 90,80,70,60,70,80. If everything goes as expected, he’ll show back up in 90 mins. I think a spawning pattern might have been introduced as to counter players who were timing the event to keep it clear. Yeah, we almost missed him a few times, but the event doesn’t appear to get any harder after each time he comes back. Anyways, gonna come back one more time to see if he stays the pattern, then I’m probably gonna leave it be. I don’t know if this information is ever gonna be useful to anyone else, but the endless players that have been flooding in all day to get Jonez’s gear says otherwise to me. Also, if you don’t need to keep it cleansed for any other reason than just because, then don’t. The Shades, Champion Risen Spider, Champion Wraith, and the multitude of mobs that spawn make the event MUCH more rewarding the first time around.

An Anet Dev actually clarified the point on Channeling champion Wraiths.
….said that they lose a stack of Defiance per tick as they’re channeling.
So the longer they channel, the eaiser they become to interrupt.
