Основная статья: Twisted Marionette Weapon Test

The Origins of Madness release focuses on the Twisted Marionette world boss and the corresponding Twisted Marionette Weapon Test meta event. Players must guard 5 gates from Scarlet's minions and destroy the generators to prevent the railgun from firing and take down the gigantic watchwork marionette. The meta event starts every 2 hours and alternates with the wurm event to avoid overlapping. The Twisted Marionette event occurs on even hours (PST) with the wurms starting on odd hours (PST).

New Threats Are Upon Us

---

<Character name>,

I'm asking friends to meet me in Lornar's Pass, where Scarlet's dropped some new type of twisted monstrosity from one of her portals. Local Priory observers are convinces that she's planning to set off a doomsday weapon in their remote end of the Shiverpeaks. They say she's recalling her twisted watchwork troops from all over Tyria to power her weapon test, and I say that we need to shut it down before a lot of innocents get killed.

One more thing. You know those mysterious probe devices that have been found all over Tyria? I've heard that the Vigil are looking into three of those discovered only recently in Bloodtide Coast. These are dangerous times, and I'm sure those Vigil crusaders would appreciate your help reaching the investigation sites.
