Guild Wars 2

Hi all. So I got a problem, and probably more people who would like to finish Mawdrey.

I’m at the point where I have to go to Flame Tomb tombs and get the Water of Rhand. When you enter the tombs, should destroy the statue, grab the head and go left to the room with the mortar. Use the mortar, which will bring the roof down and grab the needed item from the water.

But the problem is that the mortar will not bring the roof down. I’ve got the head, clicked on the mortar but nothing happens.

Any ideas how to fix it? Can someone check it if its working normally or bugged.

It is, as you suspect, borked at the moment. However, there are two reliable work-arounds:

• Walk in front of the mortar, atop the ‘floor’ over the water. Logout the character and log back in; you’ll be under the water and can proceed as normal. OR
• Get one of the frequent ports to rhendak’s tomb and work your way backwards. Each of the ‘gates’ can be unlocked from the ‘wrong’ side.

Good luck.

Thanks a lot. First advice worked!

I swam down from the opposite side and swam back thru the puzzle that way.

“Opposite side” in the mortar room? Or someplace else? If there’s a third work-around, I’d like to add it to my list of suggestions going forward. Thanks.
