Guild Wars 2

So I always hear everyone talking about Scarlet and such on these forums. How do I get up to date on the story? Am I too late? I went to the wreckage of the nightmare one where you get the tricolor key but I don’t think that was the full dungeon or story. I got a tricolor key from completing it. Do I use that somewhere? Please help, I would really like to get involved with the story and take advantage of the content. Thanks!

In-game, you’re too late. That’s the “joy” of the living story – it’s temporary! Best you can do is do the current aftermath of the Tower of Nightmares content, which is a series of new events, NPC dialogues, the instance you did, and changes to the hearts that were around already (and a good portion of it likely disappears forevermore coming January 21st), and look on the incomplete GW2W for the LS summary for the story thus far:

As for using the Tricolor Keys – you use them at the Tricolor Chest. It’s just a chest though, open with a key and get some goodies!

The key used to open a chest at the top of the tower, when the tower was destroyed the chest was tossed on to the northern bank of the lake. You should be able to see a chest icon on your map of a chest if you search around by the northern shoreline.

We’re putting some content in the upcoming releases that will recap the Scarlet LW releases to put it into context.

Looking forward to that! I am playing since beta and I know what is going on, but I understand how one can be confused if one is new to the game. Keep up the good work!

I think a quite relevant reddit post:

I love all the speculation about the Living Story finale, tons of great theories…

so a part of me thinks that it’s awesome to have many open questions. On the other hand, will we get indepth answers at some point in the future?

Awesome! Thanks for the info everyone. Looks like I need to go looking for that chest and I’m looking forward to the recap on the new update Bobby.
