Guild Wars 2

I assumed Scarlet would be sitting inside the giant drill in LA, but according to Taimi:

“Oh, all right. I won’t go there. I’m not stupid. Besides, Scarlet’s not even there.”

So the big question is – if she’s not in LA, where the heck is she?

I guess she is in Lion’s Arch, we saw that in the cinematic. Why should she use a hologram instead? No one can reach her on top of the drill right now.

I guess the other characters (maybe just Braham) told Taimi that Scarlet isn’t there so she won’t get into trouble.

Well to me it seems Taimi knows more about Scarlet than she should. She could of course just mean that Scarlet is not in LA per se, but inside that big drill.

But still, it feels a bit weird for her to say that. Yes we see Scarlet in the opening sequence, but not after that. Besides, everywhere else she’s been around she has been taunting people through her loudspeakers, but not in LA.

I’m pretty sure she’s not there and my question remains.

Scarlet is disguised (poorly, might I add) as a human ‘Carnival Worker’ and is standing in Divinity’s Reach in front of the ‘Thump-em-ups Carnival’ tent near Dwayna waypoint.

kitten . Do you have a screenshot?

Taimi may be the closest thing we have to a Scarlet expert, but she doesn’t know everything. If you go to the camp outside Vigil’s Keep, you can see her running around asking people if they saw Scarlet during the attack. She tells the player Scarlet isn’t there, but if she knew Scarlet’s location, she wouldn’t be running around the refugee camp asking everyone if they saw her or not.

The player saw Scarlet during the attack, even though his/her character didn’t. So, Taimi might be making a semi-educated (wrong) guess, or Scarlet left after she positioned the drill.

I would consider our observation as players of Scarlet standing on the drill more reliable than Taimi’s assumption from a nearby camp. We have been in the city, she hasn’t.

Yeah you saw her in the cutscene, after which you were knocked unconscious and carried out the city. When you go back, there is no sign of her and she also stays silent, which is totally different from all the other events, where she has been present to taunt the players. How do you explain her silence all so suddenly?

She is in the drill.
The cutscene is out of character, not something our character sees, seeing as we were not actually there.

Taimi bases her comments on what she have heard from refugees at the camp.
She has never entered LA since the invasion. And none of the refugees was large (or flying) enough to see Scarlet at the top of the drill.

Simple as that.

No. It’s a conspiracy and you’re all part of it!
