Guild Wars 2

what on earth am i meant to do here exactly?
i got to a part of hidden arcana that says “determine your next course of action”, but suddenly i was pushed in to the domain of light without being given any courses of action and now it’s… im not even sure what im meant to do here lol

it says something like “sync with a similar colour to create a protective bond”… this isnt helpful to anyone

is there a way past this or do i need to restart hidden arcana? its probably very simple but im quite confused

Killing one of the small crystal creatures give you a colored aura. Bring that aura to a similarly colored pillar of light to gain a temporary shield to bypass the high damage areas.

The real “fun” begins when you have to fight a miniboss that is protected from projectile attacks unless you use the same mechanic to step inside its barrier. The damage once your shield drops is massive, btw…

oh, thank you! just finished the malevolent memory too

The mechanic of this boss is really annoying for my Mesmer.

As I am reliant on my phantasm I can not use it to hurt the boss, since they get instantly defeated as soon as they enter the battlefield.

This considerably drops my damage output and this boss is just a pain (It doesn`t help that he resets health, which is even more annoying if you get downed, just because you went brain afk for a bit, sicne it is just soo boring after the tenth charge at him).

Is it possible to give my phantasm the shield as well? It is quite infuriating to see my phantasm melt instandly, but my Mini, who has no health or damage in any way, running around with a giant shield bubble.

Same old, same old. The devs don’t play or test this stuff with mesmers, and I still haven’t figured out how to start this part of the story with my thief.

Figured it out. I have to start right back at the ghosts in Salma. Great.
