Guild Wars 2

So I just ran Twilight Arbor for the first time, and we eventually reach Faolain and her merry band of Nightmare Destiny’s Edge.

So someone points out how the fight works, that when you kill one of the Nightmares Faolain will attempt to resurrect them and become vulnerable. He said that you have to get Faolain to 30% before she finishes the cast, or if the group couldn’t do that, we’d have to kill each Nightmare twice because Faolain wouldn’t resurrect the same one twice.

Well, we proceeded to try this, and the group wasn’t able to get Faolain down to 30% in time, so we just decided we’d kill the Nightmares off. We killed Eir 9 Times, Rytlock 6 Times, Logan 5 Times, and Zojja 5 Times, and she didn’t stop resurrecting them. So we just sat there unable to beat Faolain because she would go back to full health each time she completed the resurrection.

So I looked it up, and the way it was explained to us is how each guide says the fight works. Just wondering, is it bugged?

The best way to run TA ex mode is to take a ranged party in my experience. I’ve noticed melee has a really hard time in this dungeon.

Also it helps A LOT if ALL of your party is in rare to exotic gear. The dungeons in this game are extremely gear dependent and also require a party with patience and good communication.

Once you hit 80 and have all exotic gear you will love the dungeons or at least I do.

Not sure, never met a group that couldn’t DPS her down fast enough. Even with 4 people and me as a warrior who isn’t specced at all for DPS could get her to stop rezzing.

Did you make sure you assist targeted her <LCtrl click> and Everyone assist <T> to burn down? That usually gets most PuGs to go pew pew at a certain mob.

If you still can’t do it then it might be bugged. It has been a long time since I last ran it, but never had much of a problem with her.

I’m a little surprised to hear about anyone having issues with this. It’s unusual, to say the least. Even in the worst group I’ve ever had, we manged to one-shot her.

Could be a bug, though I would be willing to bet not everyone was hitting her.

you dont have to bring her to 30% IIRC.
you kill one of the 4 members of DE, she shows up and you burst her down (it’s much more like 90% AFAIK) then she stops rezzing and wont try to rez that member again (meaning the fight gets easier as it goes along)

the typical kill path is like this
1. mr sparkles – wont respawn/faolin doesnt try to respawn him
2. eir – lowish hp, most dangerous (her spreadshot can and will gib 1-3 players with ease)
3. rytlock or logan, whichever is lower after eir is dead – most dangerous after eir
4. zojja – least dangerous

You only have to do roughly 25%-30% of her health. It’s quite easy to hit that point as long as your group focuses her.

You guys probably probably misread whatever guide you were looking at. You don’t get her down to 30% health left, you deal around 30% of her health. Big difference. Then she’ll say something about how you’re a rude and terrible jerk and leave the the ghost for dead. By not focusing her when she came down you made the fight much harder than it needed to be.
