Part 12

Complete Part 12 of Guild Wars 2, including Nolani Academy and Ascalon City Quests like The Krytan Ambassador.

Nolani Academy Mission Details:

There are two methods for the first half of the mission:

• Recommended: Sneak around the entire level and take out the bulk of the Charr army from behind. Once done, the doors will open and Rurik will rush out.
• Alternative: Pull the lever near the start to open the gates. The Charr will rush in. Stand near an obelisk and protect/heal Rurik as they swarm him. This is faster but makes the bonus nearly impossible until the very end, requiring backtracking.

Either way, Rurik will eventually run to the gate and demand entry. Follow Rurik to Stormcaller; he will play it.

For the remainder of the mission, all Charr will have approximately 50% of their maximum health, making them easier to defeat. Rurik will lead you to the final Charr boss, Bonfaaz Burntfur. Kill him to end the mission. If you have not yet completed the bonus, you can turn back after defeating the final Charr before Burntfur to get it.

Nolani Academy Bonus:

Watchman Pramas took the tome of the fallen under orders from his superior. The spirits are displeased and roam the area, attacking those who venture near, especially the person with the tome. You need to carry the tome back to the statue in the back of the field they patrol. Talk to the ghost who appears when you do.

Ascalon City Quests:

All of these quests start from either Ascalon City or just outside of town in Ambassador Zain's encampment. This section also includes some other quests in Old Ascalon.

• The Krytan Ambassador [roa1]
  • Quest Starter: Captain Osric [Old Ascalon]
  • Objective: Inform Warmaster Tydus that an Ambassador from the former enemy nation of Kryta has arrived in Ascalon.
  • Reward: 500 experience points (xp).
  • Reward Giver: Warmaster Tydus [Ascalon City]
  • Difficulty and Comments: Get this quest immediately after the cinematic that brought you here from pre-searing. Ascalon City is nearby and already on your map.
• The King's Message [roa2]
  • Quest Starter: Warmaster Tydus [Ascalon City]
  • Objective: Get someone to party with and tell Ambassador Zain that your king does not trust his nation.
  • Reward: 100 xp, 50 gold.
  • Reward Giver: Ambassador Zain [Old Ascalon]
  • Difficulty and Comments: This quest can sometimes bug. Rather than taking a human, take Alesia the henchman as suggested; you will be back in town within two minutes.
• Helping the People of Ascalon [roa3]
  • Quest Starter: Ambassador Zain [Old Ascalon]
  • Objective: Deliver the supplies to Ellie Rigby [Ascalon City].
  • Reward: 200 xp. The specific skill reward depends on your profession: Elementalist - Lava Font, Mesmer - Energy Tap, Monk - Mending, Necromancer - Vile Touch, Ranger - Penetrating Attack, Warrior - "For Great Justice".
  • Reward Giver: Ambassador Zain [Old Ascalon]
  • Difficulty and Comments: None.
• The Ambassador's Quandary [roa4]
  • Quest Starter: Ambassador Zain [Old Ascalon]
  • Objective: There is a bandit named Torin in the Regent Valley. Zain wants him dead but fears Ascalonians may be enraged if he kills any of them, even a thief.
  • Reward: 500 xp.
  • Reward Giver: Ambassador Zain
  • Difficulty and Comments: This quest is designed to send you near Fort Ranik. However, due to some quests you will receive shortly, it makes more sense to wait rather than do this now.
• Rastin's Ritual [roa5]
  • Quest Starter: Witness Rastin [Old Ascalon]
  • Objective: Take Rastin's materials to the crafter Daved, near the Sardelac Sanitarium, and return to Rastin with the final product.
  • Reward: 500 xp, 50 gold.
  • Reward Giver: Witness Rastin
  • Difficulty and Comments: This quest serves the purpose of showing you where the Sardelac Sanitarium is, as well as introducing you to a materials crafter.
• Defend the Wall [roa6]
  • Quest Starter: Warmaster Tydus [Ascalon City]
  • Objective: Report to Squire Zachary at the Great Northern Wall, located off the back exit to Ascalon City.
  • Reward: 500 xp.
  • Reward Giver: Squire Zachary [Great Northern Wall]
  • Difficulty and Comments: Do this quest immediately, but rather than entering the mission, go back to Ascalon City for a bunch of new quests.
• Cities of Ascalon [roa7]
  • Quest Starter: Symon the Scribe [Ascalon City]
  • Objective: Find three historical monuments: one in the King's Watch of the Regent Valley, one in the Ruins of Surmia, and one near the Nolani Academy in the Diessa Lowlands.
  • Reward: 1000 xp.
  • Reward Giver: Symon the Scribe
  • Difficulty and Comments: It will be quite a while until you complete this one. You will be doing the Regent Valley defense and the Red Cloaked Deserter when you find the one in the King's Watch. The Surmia monument takes place in the Surmia Mission, and the Nolani Academy one is right outside the door of the Nolani Academy.
• Counting the Fallen [roa8]
  • Quest Starter: Symon the Scribe [Ascalon City]
  • Objective: Find the Census in the ruins of Old Ascalon. It is inside a pile of wreckage.

  • Reward Giver: Symon the Scribe
  • Difficulty and Comments: This quest still drops only one census, even if all of the wreckage is searched.
