Guild Wars 2

Hey there,

Just started the quest ‘Buried insight’ from the HoT storyline. I’m at the point where I need to find the elder dragon research. I realised that I should’ve stayed with the NPC’s in order to find out.

However, I ran around Rata Novus, jumped into the water, went all the way down, north and then up out of the water again and then jumped down into some kind of Asura chamber and I can’t find a way out.

Is it possible to end the quest other than running out of the borders of the instance? If not, does anyone know how I can get out of this chamber?

Ironically, you actually found where the quest will eventually take you. But, you found the hidden way into the area (the one that’s accessible in the open-world as well, there’s an achievement for getting there outside of the story instance). So no doubt you skipped a bunch of quest triggers, so even though you’re in the area you’re eventually supposed to be in, nothing is going to be working right.

In the open world version there’s some sort of portal that lets you get out of the chamber if I’m remembering correctly. However, that portal doesn’t work in the instanced version, so you’re pretty much stuck there.

You’ll have to log out back to character select. That’s the only way I know of to quit a story mission without completing it besides getting outside the borders, which you can’t do.

Oh wow, I didn’t even bother logging out. Tried it once with another quest and I was still in the instance when logging back in. Thought it wasn’t possible. very ironic though how I found the place myself where the quest will take me haha.

Thanks!

You are probably thinking of the first instance for the HoT story in Silverwastes. That one is a bit different and you can still get out of it.

Having run Buried Insight numerous times in the past week or two (for ley sparks), I am keenly aware of the discontinuity that baffled the OP. I’ve found that the trick is to run back up the path behind the NPCs then run back through them and forward until you proc your dialogue that starts things moving again.
