− | == | + | == Walkthrough == |
− | + | Travel to the [[Durmand Priory]], and enter the secret library again by talking to Seimur Oxbone. Inside, find Marjory and go down the spiral stairs to meet Ogden. After talking to Ogden, some books in the center area of Special Collections will unlock. Go to the south-western area of the library, pick up [[Fire of the Gods]], and return to Ogden. Next, you will need to collect three artifacts that are related to Turai Ossa. Pick up the [[Faded Map]] near to Ogden, the [[Elonian Basket]] in the southern area of the library, and the [[Journal of Lord Valodor]] on top of the shelf in the far west of the library. Return to Ogden to start the ritual. | |
+ | As the Echo of Turai Ossa appears, you are reliving the trials of [[gw1:Ascension|Ascension]]. In the first trial, you need to protect the Echo of Turai Ossa and keep the throne clear of enemies. In the second trial, you need to defeat six groups of enemies. Afterwards, walk into the well to become {{effect|Purified}} which lowers the damage you take in the final trial. In the third and final trial, you need to collect three vision crystals and carry them to the Echo of Turai Ossa. Note that you stop picking up the crystals when you are hit, so you need to defeat the enemy groups first. | ||
− | + | After completing the trials, pick up the torch and go talk to Ogden to complete the story chapter. | |
+ | Optionally, you can inspect the [[Old Mirror]] before talking to Ogden with the Divine Fire in your hands to start a fight against the Doppelganger, which was originally the final test to become Ascended in Guild Wars. | ||

− | + | Talk to Seimur Oxbone again after he opens the way into the library and he will offer you a [[Bloodstone Pot Pie]]. Accept and consume it. Note that your healing will be halved while it is in effect and it is a food buff. This achievement also REQUIRES completion of the Distorted Reflection achievement for completion. Just talking to [[Ogden Stonehealer]] with the torch in hand is insufficient to complete this achievement. | |

{{achievement|name=It's All About Timing}} | {{achievement|name=It's All About Timing}} | ||
− | + | The timer starts as soon as the first trial does. To save time on the first trial, try to fight enemies outside of the throne's capture circle (it will progress as long as no enemies are in it, even if the Ghostly Hero isn't in it). The second trial is straightforward, just kill the enemies as fast as possible. For the third trial, using obstructions against the ranged enemies can allow you to channel the vision crystal shards without needing to fight everything. [[Stealth]], [[Pets]] and [[Minions]] can also help in avoiding enemy fire. | |

+ | :{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''This is their symbol?'' | ||
+ | ::It is known as a [[gw1:Forgotten Seal|Forgotten seal]]. I've seen something like this before, in an ancient tome, here in the Priory. Based on Miss Delaqua's description, I'd say you found a slot for one of their seals. | ||
+ | ::{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''A sylvari once inserted a golden seal to trigger the cave's portal to open.'' | ||

+ | === Finding the relics === | ||
+ | ;Talking to Ogden again | ||
+ | :Need help, eh? Look, I may be as old as dust, but that doesn't mean I've been in every crevice of this library. Try looking among the boxes here and in the wings upstairs. | ||
+ | :{{dialogue icon|more}} ''I need more help. Do you have any idea what I might be looking for?'' | ||
+ | ::Hm, let's see. I remember seeing a map from his era. You might also keep your eyes open for the journal that belonged to Lord Valodor, Ossa's companion. | ||
+ | ::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''You can't think of anything else?'' | ||
+ | :::You're asking for a lot here. Let's see... Yes, I remember there was a basket of ashes said to belong to Kunai, Ossa's son. Be very careful with that one. You spill it and it will be a terrible mess. | ||
+ | :::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'll keep looking.'' | ||
+ | :{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'll keep looking.'' | ||
− | ; | + | ;Talking to Marjory |
− | :''' | + | :It's like searching for a needle in a haystack. Three needles. The relics could be anywhere. I really need to talk to someone about organizing the Priory's assets better. |
+ | :{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Do you have any idea what to look for?'' | ||
+ | ::Turai Ossa lived a long and busy life. It could be anything. I'd suggest we focus on finding things tied to the Crystal Desert, Elona, or Turai Ossa himself. | ||
+ | ::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''We're going to have to do an exhaustive search. Better get started.'' | ||
+ | ;Repeatedly, you keep checking the wrong relics | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' No, that's not it. | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Nope. That's not it. | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Let's keep searching. | ||
− | ; | + | ;Whenever finding a correct item |
− | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' | + | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' You're onto something there. |
+ | ;Approaching the Faded Map | ||

− | ; | + | ;Interacting with the Faded Map |
− | :'' | + | :This map shows the route Turai Ossa and his pilgrims took from Elona to the lands of [[Palawa Joko]]. Turai Ossa himself has made notes on the map. |
+ | :{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''Take the map.'' | ||
+ | ;Leaving the lower area | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' That Ogden's a cranky old boulder, isn't he? But at least he's on our side. | ||
− | ; | + | ;Entering the southern area |
− | : | + | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Ogden said we should check the crates. |
− | : | ||
+ | ;Finding the Elonian Basket | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Ohh. What's in here? | ||
− | ; | + | ;Interacting with the Elonian Basket |
− | :''' | + | :This basket contains a sack full of ashes. An inscription on the inside of the container claims the ashes belonged to Turai Ossa's son, Kunai. |
+ | :{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''Take the basket.'' | ||
+ | ;Inside the western part of the library | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' I think I saw a book on ancient history over here. | ||
− | ; | + | ;Interacting with the Journal of Lord Valodor |
− | : | + | :Lord Valodor, a warrior who accompanied Turai Ossa to the Crystal Desert, wrote this journal. He reportedly recovered Turai Ossa's body after Ossa fell in battle. |
− | :{{dialogue icon|quest}} '' | + | :{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''Take the journal.'' |
+ | ;Picking up the first item | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Magical wards have been used throughout history to contain threats...or lock intruders out. | ||
− | ; | + | ;After collecting the second relic |
− | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' | + | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' That looks interesting. |
− | + | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Well, these look nice and dusty. | |
− | ; | + | ;After collecting the third relic |
− | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' | + | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Nicely done. |
− | |||
+ | ;Talking to Marjory | ||
+ | :I hope this ritual works...and doesn't kill us. You're confident this won't kill us, right? | ||
+ | :{{dialogue icon|end}} ''As sure as I can be.'' | ||
− | ; | + | ;Talking to Ogden |
− | :''' | + | :These ancient artifacts will do nicely to anchor you! I'll break the wax seal, then give the tome to Miss Delaqua. She can advise you while you complete the challenges. Are you ready for this? |
+ | :{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''I'm definitely ready.'' | ||
+ | :{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Give me a minute or two to collect my thoughts.'' | ||
+ | === The trials of Ascension === | ||
+ | ;During the cutscene | ||

− | : | + | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' That's him—right there! |
− | : | ||
+ | ;Walking past Marjory | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Stand over there and we can begin the trials. | ||
− | ; | + | ;Talking to Marjory |
− | : | + | :It worked! That's Turai Ossa, I'm guessing. An echo of him, according to the tome. The spell woven by the wax seal must have worked. |
− | :{{dialogue icon|quest}} '' | + | :{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''Read ahead. Does it say what I'm supposed to do next?'' |
− | :{{dialogue icon| | + | ::Let's see... Yes. It says you should "accompany the Ghostly Hero." Its words, not mine. One sec... It doesn't look like you fight it. The tome implies that you must work with the ghost...and protect it. |
+ | ::{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''Stay close. I may need more guidance.'' | ||
+ | :'''Echo of Turai Ossa:''' My people came to the desert and built a great temple. | ||
+ | :'''Echo of Turai Ossa:''' But while we labored, we were set upon by the stewards of the desert, the Forgotten. | ||
+ | :'''Echo of Turai Ossa:''' They slaughtered my people, and now another ghost sits upon my throne. I beseech you, help me return to the temple. | ||
− | + | ;Talking to Marjory | |
− | + | :We should stick close to the ghost. | |
− | :'' | + | :{{dialogue icon|end}} ''OK. Will do.'' |
+ | ;As the ghost reaches the throne | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' We need to help the Ghostly Hero reclaim his throne. Are you ready? | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Here we go. I hope this works. | ||
+ | :'''Echo of Turai Ossa:''' Help me reclaim my throne. | ||
− | ; | + | ;After fighting off the first group |
− | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' | + | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' We need to relive history. If I'm right, you'll receive the enchantment once you have passed all three trials. |
+ | ; During the fight, as groups spawn | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Boss! | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' What are these things? | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Watch out! | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' We're under attack! | ||
− | ; | + | ;After completing the first trial |
− | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' | + | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' What's our next move? |
+ | ''Echo of Turai Ossa bows to <character name>.'' | ||
+ | ;Talking to Marjory | ||
+ | :Boss, the tome says that in the next trial you'll be purifying the tainted souls of Ossa's army. Are you ready for this? | ||
+ | :{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''I am. We have to see this through.'' | ||
− | ; | + | ;Talking to Marjory again |
− | : | + | :Okay, prepare yourself. I can't find anything to indicate what they mean by "purify," but my necromancy instincts are telling me you'll have to put them to rest. |
− | + | :{{dialogue icon|end}} ''So, destroy them. Got it.'' | |
− | |||
− | |||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' This feels like we've taken a step back in time. | ||
+ | :'''Echo of Turai Ossa:''' Lead me safely, and I will perform the ritual to burn away your earthly imperfections. | ||
+ | :'''Echo of Turai Ossa:''' May Balthazar grant us strength and courage. | ||
− | :' | + | ;Talking to Marjory |
− | :'' | + | :How did I know that purifying spirits would involve them trying to kill us? Just once, I'd love to find an ancient tome that skipped the euphemisms and said exactly what it meant. |
− | + | :{{dialogue icon|end}} ''You and me both, Jory.'' | |
+ | ;During the battle | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Look out! | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Uh-oh. | ||
− | ; | + | ;Defeating all tainted spirits |
− | : | + | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' I didn't doubt us for a minute. |
− | : | ||
+ | ;Before the third trial | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Now, you must be cleansed. | ||
− | ; | + | ;Talking to Marjory |
− | :'' | + | :Staying ahead of things... Looks like the next trial is the last one. You have to find three special vision-crystal shards and give them to Ossa. |
− | : | + | :{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''Where do I find these shards?'' |
− | :'' | + | ::It doesn't say, but I think your best bet for finding them is to start by following the ghostly hero. |
+ | ::{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''Al right. Stay close.'' | ||
+ | ;Talking to Marjory again | ||
+ | :Proceed with caution, please. This is supposed to be the most dangerous trial. | ||
+ | :{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Just stay out of the line of fire. I can't worry about protecting you, too.'' | ||
− | ; | + | ;Arriving at the destination |
− | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' | + | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Lastly, we have to combine the crystal shards. |
+ | :'''Echo of Turai Ossa:''' Return here with the shards, and I will perform the ritual to fuse them back together. | ||
+ | :'''Echo of Turai Ossa:''' If I cannot have all three pieces, then all of this will be for naught. | ||
+ | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' Good luck, boss. I'll be here in case anything happens. | ||
+ | ;Talking to Marjory again | ||
+ | :If you find all three shards from Ossa's vision crystal, it says here he'll put them back together. Hm, these shards are different from the vision-crystal shards so prevalent today. | ||
+ | :{{dialogue icon|end}} ''These are clearly powerful artifacts and not just crafting materials.'' | ||
− | ; | + | ;Placing the final crystal |
− | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' | + | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' I've never seen anything like that before. |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
+ | ;Cutscene | ||
+ | :'''Echo of Turai Ossa:''' The Vision Crystal is complete. The gaze of the gods shall be focused upon you, and your path will be made clear. | ||
+ | :''Echo of Turai Ossa salutes to <character name>.'' | ||
+ | :'''Echo of Turai Ossa:''' May Balthazar grant us strength and courage. | ||
− | ; | + | ;Talking to Marjory after picking up the torch |
− | :''' | + | :What an exhilarating look into the past. My ancestors once spoke of Ascension as well, but they called it "Weh no Su," which means "to be closer to the stars." |
− | '' | + | :{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I agree. It was intriguing to come face-to-face with one of our ancestors.'' <small>'''(if human)'''</small> |
+ | :{{dialogue icon|end}} ''That was educational. I feel like I know human history better now.'' <small>'''(otherwise)'''</small> | ||
+ | ;Interacting with the Old Mirror while having the divine fire | ||
+ | :This mirror is coated with grime from centuries of disuse. It's impossible to see your reflection without proper lighting, but you sense something moving within the glass. | ||
+ | :{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Hold the divine fire up to the mirror.'' | ||
+ | ::A darkness coalesces inside the mirror and rushes toward you! | ||
+ | ::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Stay back!'' | ||
+ | :{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Leave.'' | ||
− | ; | + | ;Approaching Ogden |
− | : | + | :'''Ogden Stonehealer:''' So I was right! |
− | : | + | :'''Marjory Delaqua:''' The boss passed the trials. We have what we need. |
+ | :'''Ogden Stonehealer:''' Very good. Be careful on your journey. We don't have any information on what's inside that cave. | ||
+ | ;Talking to Ogden | ||
+ | :It will be interesting to see how the divine fire interacts with the entrance to the cave. Theoretically, it will have an effect, though I could be wrong. Take it there and see what happens. | ||
+ | :{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''This fire, it's not hot. Could it be dangerous?'' | ||
+ | ::Of course it could, but to whom is the question. For all we know, the fire could fade over time. And the wax seal is broken; we can't repeat the ritual. | ||
+ | ::{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''Take the torch, and go straight there. I'll meet you when I'm ready.'' | ||
+ | :::'''Marjory:''' You want me to take the torch? | ||
+ | :::{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''Yes. I trust you to keep it safe until I get there. I'll see you soon.'' | ||
+ | ::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''We must get in that cave. It may lead us to Caithe.'' | ||
+ | :::If I could impart one piece of wisdom upon you from this ancient noggin of mine, I'd tell you to be careful around anything ancient. Magic changes over time. Listen to your instincts. | ||
+ | :::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Thanks for your help, Magister.'' | ||
+ | ::::Oh, call me Ogden. Both of you. We've been through a lot together. No need to stand on Priory ceremony. I hope to see you again soon. | ||
+ | ::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''As do I. Jory, we should go.'' | ||
+ | :::::'''Marjory:''' So we're heading back to the cave, right? | ||
+ | :::::{{dialogue icon|quest}} ''Yes. Take the torch, and go straight there. I'll meet you when I can.'' | ||

I met Marjory at the Durmand Priory's Special Collections to consult with Magister Ogden Stonehealer on the arcane ward blocking our access. |

− | + | Ogden identified the barrier as made by an ancient serpent race called the Forgotten. As part of our research, Ogden broke the wax seal inside the old tome and the echo of a long-dead hero named Turai Ossa appeared. Marjory and I supported the echo as he retraced the Ascension trials, and in return, he gifted us with divine fire. Ogden believed the divine fire would open the seal on the mysterious cave, allowing us to continue retracing Caithe's past. | |
