Guild Wars 2

I wana start practicing lupi solos so what’s the fastest path to get to him? Should I just do p3 and pay someone to help with orbs?

Path 2 is easiest, and also has the shortest run back to lupi when you die.

P1 is easier than P2 and has the same way from the waypoint to Lupi. You will only need 3 more to help you at Tar. You can even sell the path after you are done practicing.

Cool I’ll have to learn how to solo those runs (usually I yolo it and die in groups XD) least I can do boat skip if I decide to sell the path

Path 2, as mentioned above, is the official answer.

Alternatively, look at Gab 1337’s youtube channel for a recent warr p3/p4 video that shows a 4 minute route to Lupi…

Yeah but I like to do thinks “legit” :p though it is tempting does this route prevent completion of p4?

Path 1 involves waiting an hour for pugs to arrive.

Path 2 is extremely easy to get to Lupi with, kill Belka in ~4 minutes, the skips are easy, kill abom in ~4 minutes.

The only annoying bit is honestly the trash pack with the hunter (and they path if you run past which is – - – - ing lame and then the turrets if you get a turret in the far corner.

Yeah I know, trash in arah is harder than the bosses. BTW how do you guys get past the blind spam turrets before lupi legit on a war?

axe/sh + gs
defiant stance/endure pain/berserker’s stance/utility of choice/signet of rage

pop swiftness with SoR, warhorn or whatever, jump down, shield block (assuming the worst turret rng with three of them firing on you), switch to GS, get to the corner where you pull the aboms, but rather than waiting there, just pop endure pain, berserker’s stance, hundred blades the turret down, whirlwind if no mobs nearby otherwise switch to axe, auto a bit, eviscerate it, go in to the corner and you’ll be out of range of the turret near the rock so you can pull the aboms safely

Me too, but for just practicing Lupi…eh. Not sure about completion, I haven’t done any Arah JPs since they wall’d up the coral by the entrance. I used to just jump around and explore, see how far I could get…it was a lot of fun. I didn’t finish those runs because it’s easy enough to just get some guildies together for a quick run and not have to worry about exploit bans.

I’ve heard of folks using similar skips to exploit and sell p4 (before flaming, not all sellers exploit…), so I don’t think it blocks completion.

Which is bullkitten. If they want to stop people from skipping bosses, they need to just make the bosses required to get rewards. Playing whack-a-mole with invisible walls is stupid. I really miss jumping around on top of Arah, the views are quite spectacular, and it gives a whole new meaning to “explorable” mode ;-)

p2 almost does this, all bosses except Lupi are required for rewards (and IIRC, they must be killed in the correct order).

Why they don’t do this with all bosses in the other paths blows my mind.

Well thank god I actually have a shield on my warrior! Now to figure out a use for my rifle…..

If you want to practice it would be better to just destroy all of them. You can outrange every turret with Longbow 1 (autoattack will not work, though).

Because setting up if/else tests are too hard? (For those who don’t program that’s sarcasim)

You can always run arah duo, that is what i do with a guildie. You can still learn lupi that way. And increases your chance to defeat lupi and sell the path ^^.

+1

Also, you can quick step to avoid the turrets blind spam and range them down w/ longbow. If you’re not in a hurry, you can lb 3 and not have to worry about them @ range, i.e. stand behind the hump on the left wall and lb 3 aoe until it’s safe.

It’s almost like they don’t read this forum.

Would probably delete it anyway. Why would you encourage bads to be bad?

ikr? That, and I was blatantly “advertising another website” by mentioning youtube >.>

And IMO (which I’ll admit, ANet probably does not share) skipping to practice Lupi but not finish the path isn’t really an exploit, as there’s not really any profit in doing that.

Would probably delete it anyway. Why would you encourage bads to be bad?

Hmm? How does wanting to practice Lupi solos make anyone a bad?

And OP — I definitely recommend duoing/trioing p2 as much as possible too. It’s a lot of fun and good practice. I rarely run Arah with a full party anymore, and then when I do, I’m always surprised at how quickly everything dies xD
