Guild Wars 2

I tried this and failed 2 times. Then I was able to win it. Here is my ‘theory’. First, the plant dude didn’t die, I protected him (based on what others said, not sure if this is the issue). The first 2 times (when I failed) I went into the cave and killed everything before going up to the researchers. They would not follow me down to the blocked exit. The 3rd time, I stayed close to the right hand wall and fought only what I needed to to get to the researchers. After the dialogue, I then fought down to the blocked exit. It seemed that the reseachers would only follow me and T if we were fighting a mob, so I kept running ahead of the group to keep aggro going on the next mob. Then we got to the blocked exit and the story with plant guy started, and after that I was able to finish the quest. The cave is like a triangle, so when you go in only kill on the right hand side till you get to the researchers, then have their dialogue, then kill the stuff you didn’t (again on the right hand side, although a ‘different’ side of the triangle) and keep pulling mobs so that the researchers will keep following you. If I didn’t do this, they would run back to their spot and not move. This is how I was able to beat it. Seems like there is a wierd mechanic going on in the cave for Anet to fix.
