Susimusta 48 Report post Posted February 22, 2016 This is a very simple guide into the organization of the Silverwastes Vinewrath event chain. The event is very straight forward and easy to do even without the Teamspeak, so don't be afraid to try it out as a commander! In the first part of the event, you need to defend 4 forts which are marked in the map below. Amber Sandfall, Blue Oasis, Indigo Cave and Red Rock Bastion. If possible, have a commander on each of the locations and 8-10 people defending each fort. Every once in a while a supply dolyak moves between the forts and from Camp Resolve to Red Rock Bastion. 1-3 people on each fort should aim to help them to safely get to their destination. When the Pact Assault Preparations -bar fills up to 100%, you will enter the second phase of the event chain, called Breach. A hole will be torn on the ground on each of the forts and you need to jump down to the hole (make sure you jump and not just run down - you'll die) and fight a boss there. Each fort has a different boss with a little-bit different tactic: Red Rock Bastion: COPPER HUSK - Vulnerable to conditions. Indigo Cave: GOLD & SILVER TERAGRIFFS - Stun the bosses by killing the Poison bubbles when they’re nearly on them, don't kill them too early or they'll disappear before the terragriff reaches it. If they happen to run together, they'll shout screechingly, dealing a lot of damage around them - go ranged dps and wait them to start running again. Amber Sandfall: IRON TROLL - Does AoE-attacks (a cone in front and rings around him) – Dodge! Blue Oasis: PLATINUM THRESHER - Teleports every once in a while to the next location inside the Breach. Use reflects on it when it spins. Kill poison vents when they appear. Once all 4 bosses are dead or the timer on the Breach ends, you'll enter the third event part, the Vinewrath event. Success on Breach will give you an extra Key of Greater Nightmares, you can use in the Hidden Depths labyrinth after killing Vinewrath. On Vinewrath event you should split into the three lanes showed on the map below. You might want to ask a few people to do the event close to the Hidden Depths waypoint to open it, so that people that die can get back to the lanes more easily. The Vinewrath event itself consists of 3 bosses which the 3 lanes will be fighting one by one. If the lane fails to kill their boss, the next lane will be facing that boss instead of their own. So for example if bottom lane (yellow) fails to kill their boss, the middle lane (purple) will be killing the yellow boss, and if they manage to kill it, the top lane (blue) will be fighting the purple boss. So the goal is to kill the boss on your lane, and to be honest - they aren't super difficult. While waiting to get to fight your boss, you'll be in Siege phase. Each lane has siege-carriers that they need to defend in order to blast through the vine walls in front of Vinewrath. Provide them with swiftness and stealth if possible. Restock their ammunition if needed (each lane has a bit different ammunition gather-up, Yellow/Bottom: Dig up; Purple/Middle: Take from the kites; Blue/Top: Dodge against trees to get coconuts). Build Arrow carts and Mortars and use them. 1st lane to go in is the Bottom lane, fighting the Bee-keeper Troll: Take bee-targeted by standing close to one of the "doughnut" shaped AoEs. Bring the bees to the Honeycomb to build it up. When boss goes to the Vinewrath to do an blast attack, stand behind the Honeycomb - little trolls will try to knock you out of safety. 2nd lane to go in will be Middle lane, fighting the Mangler Thresher: Use reflects whenever the boss spins (Feedbacks from mesmers, Walls of Reflection from guardians - for example are really powerful on this lane). Kill the Pustules when they spawn and run through the white circle they leave behind, this gives you a damage reduction and DPS buff. When the boss goes to Vinewrath, stand in the orange cone behind it, or you'll get stunned for a long time. 3rd (and last) lane to go in is the Top lane, fighting the Darkwing Teragriff: Boss charges around between the Trigger Blossom flowers in the room. Kill the Trigger Blossoms to open them, and when the boss goes to the Vinewrath, stand on them to avoid the AoE damage. Once all three bosses are dead, the path to Vinewrath will open and you can go collect your loot. Usually after this people go to either kill a few more champions that spawn or straight to the Labyrinth at Hidden Depths waypoint. Hope you found this guide helpful! If there's any questions you were left wondering, don't hesitate to ask. 1 Share this post Link to post
Nag 36 Report post Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) A very succinct guide. It made me nostalgic of the good old days of people map chat spamming "NO CC ON PLATINUM" and "NO AOE ON COPPER" and raging all over the place, and me getting into (utterly fruitless) half-hour long discussions about how they were wrong Edited February 22, 2016 by Nag Share this post Link to post
