I do wanna take a moment and say that a being that takes parts of other dragon like beings and adds them to itself to make itself stronger isn’t an “Elder Dragon MADE of dead dragons.” Why you may ask? Well simple, he was an Elder Dragon long before he made the additions to his body, if this is even the case. At best he’s an Elder Dragon with additions from dead dragons, in this instance. Personally I 100% believe that he is dead and that we will never hear from him again. The only part of the story that makes me waiver in the slightest is the lack of a body in Arah.

It is in the background of the cutscenes with Ogden Stonehealer.

Do you even lift, bro?

Or living dragons*

So what you’re saying is that Zhaitan’s corpse is present in the cutscenes in Arah story – before his death?

That’s just aesthetic concept art used to make those cinematics more flavorful, and they’re different based on the location (zone, city, and dungeon). But both story and explorable of Arah share the same background piece.

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

Exploration, naturally. I wasn’t aware that Ogden was present in the story cutscenes?

You clearly misunderstood me. The same background image is used for all cinematics in both story and explorable mode – not just the one wit Ogden in explorable.

In other words, the concept art of a dragon’s corpse is seen in the story mode cinematics.
