Guild Wars 2

I got through it second try but it nearly failed again. I think the hatchlings are the problem. Just after the veteran spider dies the guy yells to get set up, you get a delayed set of hatchlings spawning after that yell and I think that is what breaks it. The NPCs fight the fresh spiders and it deletes their setup order, the charr never repeats the order so it hangs.
So tip of the day, try and time the big spider dying to be just before she lays more eggs (ie just before the next batch hatch).

I tried again today and got it to work. I made sure I had no pets up when I got to the second group and it actually worked. Even skipping the convos etc it still took the best part of an hour to carefully grind my way though the mobs. Fair enough if it actually works but when it’s buggy, man it’s not funny.

I wish I’d read this before trying to do it, what a waste of time. 90 minutes down the chute with the dumb NPCs standing around refusing to go south (which is completely clear). 2:30 am and I have the prospect of repeating the whole lot again with all the talky talky and gang attacks – I’m really looking forward to that :-/

I had the same issue, I had to leave the instance and restart. Also handing the player a completely unknown weapon then spawning a bunch of monsters on top of them (without any time to read the skills or know what it does) is a great way to ensure they die in the vault and get trapped.
