Q:

Whats going on with Captain Wiley in Gendarren Fields? I need to defeat him to get my last part of The Hunter precurssor tier 2 and have been playing hours at a time waiting for him 2 spawn and not single time has this happen for me in 2 weeks.

Any help on what instances work?

Where are you waiting for him?

According to the wiki, you should wait for him at Wiley’s Cove:
[&BHsAAAA=]

Wiley can be found as an elite NPC in Wiley’s Cove by default; when his event is active, he swims to a sunken ship in the northern part of Lake Gendarr and becomes a champion.

Killing either version of Wiley counts towards the The Predator III: The Hunter collection. However, spawn times are seemingly long, so it is recommended to wait in the cove for him to spawn.

Did you try seeing if his event is stuck in the lake?

Either way, use the in-game /bug reporting tool, too — that gives ANet additional information about the map/instance that will help in troubleshooting.


If the event is bugged, your best bet is to leave a character there and swap to it at the following times (or as close as your schedule allows):

  • After an update (next scheduled one: 10 January, but keep an eye out for bug fixes)
  • Whenever Gendarran fields is the location of the 4-event daily.
  • Saturdays
  • Reset

These are the times when it’s most likely for a new map to spawn for various reasons.

Good luck and please let us know if/when you succeed.
