Guild Wars 2

Golem Army Captures Askalion Hills Keep in 2 Minutes and 52 Seconds on September 23, 2012, 12:48pm Central US time.

16 Golems operated by Caedas Guild and our Stormbluff Isle allies set a new world record for the fastest capture of a fully upgraded keep. By the time Henge of Denravi knew their keep was under attack, we were already through the first Reinforced Gate. This type of blitzkrieg strategy works best with the element of surprise. We moved the Alpha Siege Golems into position quickly enough to avoid being spotted.

Counting from the first hit on the gate to seeing the “Secure the keep” event completion message:

2 Minutes, 52 seconds to capture Askalion Hills Keep with Reinforced Gates

Is this the world record? If you know of a video with a faster or similar time, please leave a comment! Thanks for watching.

Thats not my video btw. I was at the event and was lucky to snag a golem:)

Nice. Took 3 minutes and 25 seconds to take SBI Garrison with six regular golems.

@Thorvald Thanks!

@Jamaz Stay tuned and I can upload their tragic end, lol.

@RoRo Mmmmk that’s pretty epic. xD It just occurred to me after seeing those pics that the golem glows the color of your team. Pretty sweet.

@Nevron Ooo that’s pretty good considering you had ten less and it only added about 30 seconds.

They look so cool crossing the bridge together.

thats the keep you lost immediately after you took it….right?

use omega golems instead of alphas next time.

@Ristlin Thanks.

@Lofty Nope, we took it at 12:48pm and held it until around 9:30pm Central US time yesterday (8-9 hours). ET started pushing back across all maps, and Henge used a nice diversion on us. They distracted us with an attack on Woodhaven Tower while they mustered a golem army of their own to blitz AH like we did. The keep was lost before I can reach it after hearing it was in trouble. :’(

@Malediktus Mmmm I like this idea.
