Guild Wars 2

I’ve managed to find, by myself, 12 of the 20 ‘ancient holographic professors’ in Rata Novus for this achievement (and succeed by mainly guessing the answers), but I can’t for the life of me find the other 8. I looked on Dulfy, and there wasn’t a guide for it, I looked on the GW2 Wikipedia but that wasn’t helpful because there were no pictures of any of their locations, and half the answers on the wikipedia were unhelpful because the professors asked completely different questions to those listed on the wiki and I had to just guess them (usually wrongly), and wait a while to re-do them. I also looked on YouTube, and there was no guide for it either. It seems no one has a guide for this achievement :-/

But either way I can’t find the last 8 and I’ve searched all over the place :-( is there any guide out there on it that I’m somehow missing?

Although the Instructors have a certain cooldown time, if you ask them again after a while, they will pose another question (i.e. the questions are not tied to the hologram positions, rendering any guide quite useless)

the cooldown seems to be 10minutes

http://doncpauli.com/lore-untangler/ it shows all the locations but I question the answers provided ( yes I know they rotate and are different from his guide), but so far I haven’t seen one question he has in his guide.

There is a collection for collecting the daily page and you can save that to a journal. If I recall, all the questions are based off those journals.

Some of the Instructors are up high tucked into various ledges. By the falls if you take the jumping shrooms you can get up into some corners where they are hiding as well as being able to glide over to some. I do know there is at least one under water but you have to kill some stuff to be able to talk to it. If you answer wrongly you can go back after 10 minutes and try again according to the wiki. I don’t think there are 20 instructors, though.

This video guide shows where they are.

This achievement guide has some of the questions and the wiki seems to have all the questions. However I think there are so many questions that it is hard to look at the list and get the answer in the required time. I just kept coming back and guessing until I got the 20. Eventually I actually knew some of the answers, lol.

Assuming you can type at at least moderate speed, search is your friend. (My browser is currently Firefox, but I assume that some variant of the following will work on other browsers).

Open the wiki page. Open the browser search. Now (and only now), interact with the hologram. The timer is now running. Pick a slightly unusual word from the question, go to the browser search field and type it in. 90% of the time, you’ll go straight to the entry for the correct question (if not, hit the “find next” button until you do). Go back to the game and answer it

You ought to be able to do that with 25% or so of the time remaining, even if you don’t hit the right question first time.

Some of the locations. It’s incomplete. For example, there’s another instructor underwater to the south of the Rata Novus WP.

You really don’t need to visit all the locations since they reset. I got my 20 points and mastery in couple of days and can easily get 10 to open the chest on a daily basis now.

IThat’s the very last one on the page that was listed as bugged, but has never been updated. So I really believe they are all there.

You can taxi from a TD instance to another after answering the holograms that you can find. After you get to the new instance, the holograms should be interactible again as the timer resets.

Thanks for the tip.

So far I have found 19 of them. I’m certain that there are 20, but I just can’t locate the last one. There are four of them on the ledges above Rata Novus that can’t be reached from inside the city. They have to be reached from the Vista. I know of two underwater, but it’s possible the missing one is actually there, which would make some amount of sense.

Sorry to bump this but, they are seriously bugged! Only maybe 5 or 6 actually work at any given time the rest are glowing blue and one is totally off.
