Guild Wars 2

The first part of the quest is swimming across a large expanse of water towards a ship, and you have to kill sharks to clear the area. The problem is these sharks are impossible to kill. I read on a fan sites that you only need to kill the shark closest to the ship to progress.

The shark very nearly one shots and will always apply a bleed that will kill you.
The shark is a lot faster than you.
The water you are fighting in is full of floating ship mines at various depths which makes it near impossible to kite and only with cripple effect, If you aren’t blessed with a spammable underwater cripple then it not doable.
The shark normally comes with mini baby sharks which seem to hit the same amount as the main shark.

If the stars align and you do have a spammable underwater cripple effect, get incredibly lucky with not hitting the underwater mines, manage to stay in the shark tiny leash range, don’t pull anything else and be patient enough to cope with spending hours failing.

I assume the intended idea was that the underwater mines damage the sharks and you are meant to do some kiting. But after several tries of this I can guarantee they don’t.

Other than this problem me and others have experienced terrible fps issues looking at the ship and apparently the end cut scene was bugged with subtitles for voice overs but no voice over and an obscure camera shot of water which clearly isn’t intended. (I am yet to see this due to King Killer Shark the Mighty still being alive)
