Guild Wars 2

I’m trying to get a skill point located to the far west side of the map. It’s in the water right by a Grenth statue in the Drowned Brine area. The problem is the statue is always contested so defeating the veteran and a couple of drakes does no good. Can someone tell me what event needs to be completed so that the statue becomes uncontested?

The temple of grenth in cursed shores needs to be uncontested. Then all Grenth-statues in all off the 3 Orr zones becomes uncontested.

You can always guest on a server where it is uncontested.
For EU-servers that is Drakar Lake (DE) (see this for the current situation

NA-server currently has any server uncontested, but you can keep checkling this

But if I remember right it doesn’t have to be uncontested. Grenth only gives a continous poisened effect. Conditions are no direct damage, so it shouldn’t interupt the communing. The foes off course have to be taken care off. I remember avoiding them though by coming from the other side.

Thanks for the reply. I went back and tried again except this time I snuck up the side like you suggested and didn’t kill the veteran. I was able to commune with no problem. I think this must be the secret.

It is also possible to kill them then commune even with the statue contested. It depends on how your character is built.
