Guide[]

Terra 1 Walkthrough

Equipment[]

Weapons:
- Zealous Scythe of Enchanting(If your run out Energy for any reason)
- Zealous Spear of Enchanting(for pulling in scattered enemies faster) with 2 different sets of shield, both should have +30HP mod or +45HP while enchanted mod(recommended), and either Armor + 10(vs Piercing) and Armor + 10(vs Fire), use the shield with fire protection mod in burning forest and Piercing Protection outside forest.
Armor: Full Radiant insignias, Runes of Attunement and a Superior Vigor rune and Blessed Insignia set for Burning Forest.
Infiltrator, Saboteur and Vanguard armor sets advised all Terra's for armor buff when taking more offensively orientated builds.

Usage[]

Maintain Shadow Form and Shroud of Distress. This only works when Essence of Celerity is up. Use Armor of Earth when needed (always maintain it in the burning forest, due to large damage from inferno). Also use Mental Block in heavy mob areas and when you are around skeletal impalers.
Use "I Am Unstoppable!" for Abyssals, and Shadow Warriors (If your health is below 50%). Alternatively, you can use IAU when Shadow Form skill recharge is around 70-100%, IAU provides protection when Shadow Form runs out and when casting it.
Use Death's Charge as a self-heal or a method for getting unstuck.
Aggro mobs, then use Ebon Battle Standard of Honor and then use Sliver Armor
It is highly recommended to use a speed boost consumable e.g. Birthday Cupcakes or Blue Rock Candy to counteract the speed loss from Armor of Earth.

Walkthrough[]

Terra #1[]

Start
Run to the Camp and aggro the caster group and the group with beserkers in. Use the aggro from the shadow rangers to sliver the beserkers down and then sliver the shadow group, starting with the monk. Avoid the skeleton patrol that comes down from the north. When the shadow group is dead, get the quests from The Eternal Weaponsmith and Kromril The Eternal.
Run to Priest of Menzies, aggroing as much as possible, as soon as you get a group with beserkers in, stop to sliver them down. Make sure you grab the two groups near the entrance to the burning forest and pull them back beneath menzies. When all the melee is dead, Death's Charge up to menzies and sliver him down. Pick the book up and run back to Kromril the Eternal, making sure to drop the book before recasting Shadow Form. If you wish, you can sliver the shard wolf on your way back to the camp.
If you haven't already, sliver the Shard Wolf in the middle of the battlefield.
Run through the burning forest and aggro the group of Mahgo Hydras near the Shadow Overlords. Pull them back along the right wall until the Smoke Walkers are at longbow range and then sliver the hydras down. If smoke walkers run up to heal the hydras, let sliver run out and wait until the hydras are back to full health, then pull them back again. Once the hydras are dead, run into the middle of the shadow groups and sliver the overlords down.
Kill the Shard Wolf.
Run to the Tower of Strength, you may have to wait for the quest to be taken. Pull the first 2 Shadow Patrols one by one and sliver them down, once you have 4 rangers you can aggro one of the abyssal groups and sliver the abyssals down, keep pulling and slivering the melee until they are all dead. Use cliff walls to block them if you have more than 3 attacking you. Once the melee is all dead. begin slivering the Shadow Rangers, you can pull the Shard Wolf wolf to help with this if you want. Do not try and sliver more than 3 at one time and if they are very balled up, run down towards the burning forest until some break aggro so you can sliver them easily. Make sure you don't kill the mesmers, as you will need them later. When all the rangers are dead, ask the T2 to send the Tower Mage. While you are waiting for the mage to arrive, pull the Shard Wolf back and use the Shadow Mesmers to kill it.
When the Tower Mage gets there, pull the Shadow Lord out of the tower and sliver him down.

Terra #2[]

Start
Grab quest from Miko the Unchained on your way past
Take quest from Nimros the Hunter
Kill this Shard Wolf. Lots of monks heal him so you might want to try pulling him into cave.
Kill the Beach Wolf, try not to aggro the warrior guys
Wait at beach for the main team to take the quest Restore the Temple of War. Work though the cave killing the Seeds of Corruption.
●●● - This is path where the Seeds of Corruption are. If you had trouble with the first wolf then ask where T1 currently is. If he is almost finished at Tower of Strength, wait outside forge so you can trigger the Tower Mage straight away.
●●● - Follow the yellow line to Lord Khobay. To kill, pull the drakes by the Giant Wurm with you, so you can get more aggro. Be careful not to let the drakes bodyblock the exit, then walk pass the Giant Wurm by Khobay. Death Charge to Khobay and sliver him to death. Now trigger mage if you have not already done so.

Terra #3[]

Start
Run to the wailing forest and grab all of the spirit shepherds you can, then sliver down the rock borer worms and the 2 spirit woods in the entrance to the forest.
Run to the bridge, sliver the 4 berserkers on the close side of the bridge and then use a bow to aggro the banshees, avoiding the two skeletal groups from the side. sliver the banshees down on the bridge and then take the quest from the wailing lord (make sure the team is off the battlefield before doing this).
Run up the hill and kill the shard wolf.
Death's charge down to a spider, pulling them along the path towards the wailing lord so you can death's charge down. Once this is done aggro all the shepherds again and use their aggro to sliver the nearby skeleton group down. Once the skeleton group is dead simply ball the shepherds up together and wait for the main team to arrive.
Once the shepherd group has been spiked wait until the main team is ready and then escort the griffons to the tower of courage, pinging targets to make them follow you.
If either of the terras die, it is your job to cover their areas.

Main Team[]

How to spike: Perma balls groups tightly, the ineptitude mesmer then calls arcane conundrum on a central target and all 3 spikers use their spike skills on that target.

Clear the way to the Tower of Courage and complete Rastigan's quest. Most likely the Rit will stay back to complete the quest while the rest continues ahead.
Clear the way to the Temple of War and clear it so the Eternal Forgemaster appears. Terra 1 takes the quests so you can go directly to the Temple of War.
Take the first quest once the Perma is waiting on the south side of the forge. Pull them towards the middle and kill. Once they are dead, the sin and two warriors should stand on the corpses to kill so the new Beast's that spawn don't jump around. Do the same for the North side.
Before leaving the Temple of War, make sure all three quests are taken - Khobay the Betrayer, Restore the Temple of War and Tower of Strength from Eternal Lord Taeres. The Rit stays back to take the quests while the rest of the team continues ahead.
Head to the wailing forest and spike the spirit shepherd group that the t3 is holding. (If the t3 has died or is covering another terra then you should spike your way to the wailing lord.)
The main team should clear the way back to the Tower of Courage. Once you are almost there, tell the t3 he/she can come with Griffons.
Pull and kill the last Shard Wolf. Wait in the Tower until the griffons get there, then head to forge for your reward.
