Guild Wars 2

At the end of this quest, fighting the Krait Priestess to free Warden Hywel, the Priestess’s poison cloud AoE consistently kills Hywel requiring a restart of the quest. Tried twice now, twice Hywel has died and the quest cannot be completed.

I just had this problem. By the time I was done killing the priestess…the dude was gone from his cage….yet the quest never indicated this. My next step in my quest was to release him….but I couldn’t interact with his cage. I had to leave the instance and start all over. We even tried dying and restarting from a checkpoint.
Worked the second time, as we were careful to heal the dude in the cage whenever the Priestess got him with her AoE. I reported it as a bug.
I think he should either be invulnerable, or we should be aware that we need to heal him….and if he dies, the quest should update and let us restart from a check point.

Agreed. Not only is it a very dicey tower to climb (if you fall and die where your allies can’t get you), but Hywel was nowhere to be found after defeating the priestess, barring completion. A dismal end to a frustrating mission.
