Stability, stun-breaks, and condition removal will be useful to counter the knockdowns and fear effects. Skills that group enemies together are extremely useful here. The Ghost Eater is protected by a Ghost Shield. This shield protects the boss from all damage, and spawns ectoplasmic oozes when the Ghost Eater is hit. The three traps installed by Detha will remove the boss's shield, but they must be charged first. To charge these traps, the party must pull the ectoplasmic oozes to the traps by using the guns, Anti-Spectral Ordnance , that are near the traps.
Skill One will lift the oozes with a yellow beam, and skill two will pull the lifted oozes with a green beam. Only oozes lifted in the air by skill one can be pulled by skill 2. Players have to pull, or lure, oozes to Detha's trap.
When the oozes are inside the area of the trap, players have to lift them using skill 2, the trap then consumes the ooze and charges up. Three oozes are needed to charge a trap. Once a trap is charged and the Ghost Eater itself is pulled within range of the trap, the trap fires and discharges, removing the boss' Ghost Shield. At this point, he is vulnerable to the player's attacks. Players have to drop the guns and attack it.
The Ghost Eater spawns deadly area of effect attacks, blue pools on the ground, it is imperative to get out of them as soon as possible as they deal massive damage over time. Path 3 begins after killing Kholer. The party heads east into The Lovers Crypt. The path is guarded by spiders, Ascalonian ghosts, and traps. The party should decide whether to kill the mobs or skip past them. In this section, players must defend two asuran beacons.
If either of the beacons is destroyed, the event resets. Graveling burrows will spawn one after the other and gravelings will spawn from them. A new one burrow spawns every ten seconds. This fight is fairly simple as burrows do not have much health, and enemies take a few seconds to spawn from them once the burrow is created. The party should stay together and quickly kill the burrows.
If the party has low damage and gravelings do spawn, they should cleave them down while focusing the burrows. Afterwards, players are transformed into Ascalonian ghosts, and the north door opens. The dungeon continues in the Hall of Champions, the path there is guarded by spiders. Inside the Hall, five graveling burrows will spawn, each spawning hordes of gravelings. The party needs to destroy all four of them. Gravelings disappear when their burrows are destroyed.
Clearing the fifth burrow opens the exit and unlocks a waypoint. The Ascalonian ghost Warmaster Grast joins the party to help them defeat the final boss. Players then go to the Rockfall Chamber, and enter the Graveling Tunnels.
These tunnels are, as expected, infested by graveling. The party should decide if they are going to kill them, or simply skip past them. Skills that break stun or provide stability will be extremely useful for these tunnels.
Colossus Rumblus is notorious for one dangerous attack players should take care of. It will get on all fours and flail its arms for a while as it sways in a circle.
This creates a cave-in, rocks will fall from the ceiling, dealing massive damage in a large area. To dodge this deadly attack more easily, players can use skills that destroy or reflect projectiles. If present, the ghost NPC Warmaster Grast should throw up a protective blue shield that destroys the rocks - as long as he stays alive, the party doesn't need to bring their own projectile negation.
It may benefit the party to keep a target above the Warmaster's head so it is easy to find him when the boss does this attack. The boss has other less dangerous attacks, including a swipe that will Launch and add various conditions to a single player, and a seismic attack that sends out radial earthquakes which Knockdown.
Players should take note that these attacks might throw them outside Warmaster Grast's protective shield during a cave-in. If the Ascalonian Catacombs feel too easy, try the explorable mode. It's more challenging and has greater rewards. The story version must be completed first. This article is about the explorable mode of Ascalonian Catacombs dungeon.
For story mode, see Ascalonian Catacombs story. Ascalonian Catacombs explorable 7 6. Your Herald Continuing trouble in the Ascalonian Catacombs Congratulations on defeating King Adelbern and foiling his plot to send his ghost army to Tyria 's surface.
I thought that you of all people would be interested in returning to the site of your previous triumph and setting matters right! This key section of the article is incomplete. You can help the Guild Wars 2 Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Missing dialogue from Detha, possibly Tzark as well. Bugs :. Detha Tremblebones will occasionally not trigger the flooded temple event required to progress the dungeon. As a workaround, players can lure Gravelings into the room and have them kill her. Upon revival, Detha will proceed with the event as intended.
Detha Tremblebones will occasionally not trigger the Ghost Eater in the Hall of Champions required to progress the dungeon. Also in Detha's path, when you get to the Ghost Eater in the Hall of Champions, the boss may reset its original position to the corner of the event area, thus, not allowing you to use traps East and North since it will go out of combat and regenerate it's health as soon as you try to lure it to these other two traps. I find it to be borderline unfair when a startout enemy can do this sort of damage to you.
After that section of the dungeon there are traps flames and spikes from the floor that have a really good chance of killing you with one hit.
Now it's not like it is game over at that point and you can retry as many times as you want, but isn't this a bit early to be instakilling our customers? I mean it's the very first dungeon and we are gonna crank the difficulty up to 11? There are some segments of the dungeon where the intention is to completely skip masses of enemies and veteran players will do exactly that.
The hardcore players have figured out an exact formula for where you need to stand, when, and exactly what skills to use in order to get through the dungeon as quickly as possible and I have to say, Now the video above maybe makes it seem like I am full of crap because these guys get through path 1 relatively easily, but you can tell by the vid that they are very familiar with how the dungeon operates and are well above your average player in terms of dedication to the game.
The point I am trying to make is that I feel that this, being the first dungeon in the game, is far more difficult than it should be. The other, later dungeons, should be very difficult, but the very first one?
If entering this dungeon with a group of people who have never done it before very unlikely to happen these days I would bet the farm on failure or at the minimum many many deaths on the part of everyone in the group. Basically, while somewhat fun and a nice break from the tedium outside of the dungeon I really feel as though ArenaNet made this entirely too difficult.
What do you think? I know there are a few Guild Wars players out there but for me anyway, i find the gradual increase in difficulty existent in other MMO's out there are far more conducive to the average player. Just my 2 pennies!
Regarding the difficulty of the first dungeon I think it is kind of cool if it is difficulty. But more if dungeons would keep difficult through the game. I started writing all down and noticed there were too many. Ok i need to know something before i decide wither to bother with dungeons in this game or just forget about them completely and only play for another 5 days or so until ROS comes and we give up.
Will the rest of the dungeons be like this? Posted by: Carpboy. Yes all the dungeons are like this. You need to l2p the game before you can succeed in the game :O shocker. Posted by: Dalanor. Posted by: Izaya. I run this path almost every time I log in to play GW2 and mostly pug it. Even in melee range, there have been instant wipes once the players start moving around. When instructed not to move, we get the job done. I rarely did it ranged because this was what was shown to me in AC.
So do almost all the runs I have been in. And while any corner might work, there is one corner which is optimal.. Posted by: AdaephonDelat. Yup dungeons work the same here. You get armor and such from drops and doing explorable mode gives you tokens to buy armor and weapons.
This dungeon can be a bit of a shock the first time you walk in straight out of PvE. You need to learn the mechanics i. Bad idea that. Well, this applies to any boss really.. But perhaps you are right, for lower levels without dps, range on her might be better. Posted by: Aden Celeste. Aden Celeste. OP, I dont want to sound rude, but you need to practice and learn to play. If you need to complete AC, and want some training regarding the dungeon and your class, feel free to contact me in-game.
I promise that you will be soloing storymode after our training. Posted by: Thaddeus. Keep in mind that a group of normal player will do a most dungeon path in 30min A group of experienced players, with ok build will do it in 20min A group fo experienced players, with good build will do it 15min A speed clear group can do it in 10min.
You really have nothing on your side, so of course you gonna get kitten. Try to 5 man it, check if your gear is near your level, check for the Dungeon Mentor or a friendly guild so people can show you how to complete a dungeon. Its weird but you are better with the dungeon CM or TA first. Posted by: RoseofGilead. You took only three players into a dungeon that says five players are recommended.
It seems like this is a simple of case of needing to learn to play, as well as actually making sure you have a full group for dungeons until you know them well enough. Next time, try to find someone either in guild or through LFG who knows the dungeon well enough to tell you what to expect.
And check out the guides other people posted above.
