Hey guys,

this post is about the mysterious underwater dragon. In the chantry of secrets !is a board with a poster on it showing a sea monster and some kind of a trap, i guess.
My first thoughts were that this is the dragon. But by time realised thakittens more a minion.
So, lets collect first:
- minion of the dragon
- and trap

Now lets go on…
I got information about a dialogue in CoE that says that the inquest has recently captured one of the minions of the deep see dragon. Now the plans maybe are stolen by the order of whisperer? <- Remember this i will come back later on it.

Collect:
- plans from inquest
- inquest researching the minions of under water dragon

Ok, next…
Then i went to Durmand Priory because they know A LOT so i searched for information there and what a found was sceleton which looks very very very similar to the drawing on the board in the chantry of secrets AND a dairy. When i interacted with the dairy it described a picture in the book which u can see if its it. The book says thakittens a sceleton of a sea monster and that it killed a member of the inquest. Maybe the inquest member is a hint on the captured minion.

Collect:
- sceleton of a sea monster
- hint to the inquest (?)

Ok. Time for explanation:
1. How do the Durmand Priory and order of whisperer got the plan and the sceleton?
- I think it has something to do with the explosion of the thaumanova reactor. Maybe they where thrown all over the world
2. Why is the inquest researching for the dragon?
- They want to use them as a weapon against all.

Lets complete the theory:
The inquest is doing research into the dragon because they want to use them as weapon. They cought a dragon minion and brought him in theit labour under thaumanova reactor.
The reactor blew up because of the imense amount of magic they had to handle with.
So thats how the Durmand priory and order of whisperer got these “artifacts”.

What now?
Remember the fractal Ellen Kiel promised about the thaumanova reactor? Maybe that will bring us to another dragon?

What are ur thoughts? Am i crazy or does that makes sense for u? Anything i could make better?

And the Inquest are capturing dragon minions to
1) study them
2) harness their energy to further their goal of making Asura the top race.
3) as you said, use them as weapons (Subject Alpha, Bjarl the Rampager, Evolved Husk, Evolved Destroyer, Kudu’s monster, and Kudu himself.
The whole “use them as weapons” thing is explained in CoE story mode.

The skeleton found in the Durmand Priory is a Leviathan, which is a natural sea creature – not related to the Elder Dragons (directly at least).

BTW, the “diary” you make mention of – is a research journal which has a sketch of an Inquest member getting eaten. The game even makes mention that it’s comical, which means it’s not likely to be an accurate case of what happened.

This journal contains notes about a sea beast’s skeleton. There are sketches of what the creature looked like when alive, including a humorous scene in which it’s eating a Inquest agents.

The thing shown on the board in the Chantry of Secrets is also a Leviathan, btw. Not a dragon minion. Nor is there any reason to suspect either Order believes it to be a dragon minion. But… what trap do you talk about? On the board I see with the leviathan sketch, there’s an asura gate and what seems to be an LA arch with ships. No trap designs on it.

(Though now I"m more curious about what the text on that thing says).

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

Can you proof that it is Leviathan?
Well, if its Leviathan or not it can still be a minion of a dragon right?
And why i think its a trap not an asura portal? Because the head of the sea monster and this arch are connected.

From the wiki: "The currently unnamed Elder Dragon from the depths of the sea has the power to create tentacled creatures from the water. It is said that through its powers, it has been creating servants from every lake and river around its location. "

The leviathan was a serpent in ancient mythology, which is also shown by the concept art. So I don’t think these are the ‘tentacled creatures’ made by bubbles. I could expect more kraken-like beasties.

@ Bellyboomer From the same wiki post: The Inquest have captured a dragon minion and are preparing a water-themed area called “Zone Blue” in the Infinite Coil Reactor for it to be stored.
Where is this Infinite Coil Reactor?

If you read the wiki page, you should have noticed that there was a link to the said Infinite Coil Reactor. It’s right on top of Crucible of Eternity.

Only fools and heroes charge in without a plan.

The six zones all represent a certain dragon, blue is for the yet unseen dsd. The green one predicts Mordremoth.

And why i think its a trap not an asura portal? Because the head of the sea monster and this arch are connected.

The PoI in Claw Island titled “Pride and Maw” is the wreckage of the Pride and corpse of The Maw seen in Sea of Sorrows. The Maw uses that same skeleton.

Leviathans can be corrupted (the Maw was a risen leviathan), but that looks like a standard leviathan sketch and as far as we know, the DSD only corrupts water. But leviathans by themselves were outright stated when the manifesto trailer came out (the creature seen at the end is a Leviathan too) to be unrelated to the Elder Dragons.

And no… the leviathan sketch and the arch were not connected. Either way the arch on the bottom right is an asura gate concept art from Matthew Barrett – you can find it among the sketches here. The other doesn’t look like a trap at all.

Plus, such a shape for a trap would require placing it on the ocean floor, which wouldn’t be very viable.

Where is this Infinite Coil Reactor?

Mount Maelstrom. It’s the big kitten hexagonal Inquest lab – underneath which lies the Crucible of Eternity.
