Guild Wars 2

Hi!

I’ve been trying for 4-5 days now to finish the event chain connected to the inquest lab on Jinx Isle. This so i can get the final piece i need for my Twilight I collection.

However the event has been bugged for so long now. It has stopped at the point where you are supposed to escort the agents to the secret entrance, however there are no agents to be found and the door is locked.

Submitted a ticket for this as well in-game, but after some googling I saw that I’m by far not the first one to run into this bug.

Is there something I can do about this so I can carry on with my precursor hunt? Or do I simply have to wait for a server to reboot or something?

Backdoor…

If you swim around the island to the bottom southwest corner you will see a climbable slope that leads up to a point within a short jump of a large ledge with a double door topped with an electric field and next to it a Mithril Ore node.

To the right of that door are some small rocks, which you can jump onto and then jump onto the top of the door and drop down inside the rear ‘exit’ tunnel.

Just follow the tunnel and it leads inside the base right to the final boss room. The boss can be solo’d and once defeated (an underwater fight) still activates the boss chest. Boss Golem regularly respawns without having to have the Agent team present as long as the event is active.

Tip: You can use the columns/stairs to shield yourself against the Boss’s non-AoE attacks, or as a ‘safe’ spot to heal if downed.

Use the Ore node as a marker to help you find the rear entrance ledge, the slope up to the entrance is to its left. If the event/boss has been recently completed you will also see a marker for a trader golem next to the ore node, so you can use that as an indicator of roughly how long to wait before entering, if trade golem not there and event active your good to go.

Good Hunting.

Hi Bbear!

Thanks a lot for the answer and good description of how to reach and getting into the base through the back door!

I tried this several times, getting in behind the door without any trouble, however on entering the tunnel i instantly get teleported back to the karma merchant on the southwest side. So this does not seem to be working either, at least not for me.

I don’t know if I’m doing anything wrong but seems like either anet has fixed this backdoor or the event is frozen in a way that it’s not possible to get into the chamber at this point.

So event is still frozen at the “revive the agents” part, getting close to a week now I’m starting to give up hope on this one. Sigh.

But as I said initially, thanks a lot for trying to give a solution!

Edit: Should add that the trade golem is active and is not disappearing, so seems like the event is stuck just in the wrong state for this backdoor to not work.

Hi Sub…

Sorry to hear the workaround didn’t.

The presence of the trade golem is the reason why you can’t get in, it marks the fact that ‘lorewise’ the base has caved in/collapsed after the Order raid and the game treats it as if there is nothing to enter.

Backdoor workaround only works when the trade golem isn’t there.

Added you to my friends list, I’ll check the location each time I’m there for the Ore node and message you ingame if your online and the way is open.
