Guild Wars 2 Trivia

1. Lion's Arch is the trading hub of Tyria. Parts of the old Lion's Arch can be found in which part of the city?

From Quiz Tyria, Then and Now

Answer: Sanctum Harbour

In "Guild Wars", the port city Lion's Arch was Kryta's capital and seat of the Krytan royal family. For adventurers making their way west from Ascalon, Lion's Arch was the first major outpost and economic hub, bringing together travellers from all over the world. After Zhaitan's awakening beneath Orr, the resulting flood waters engulfed Lion's Arch, leaving southern Kryta in an unstable state of disrepair. The Lion's Arch we know today in "Guild Wars 2" was originally a refuge for pirates and seafarers, seeking safety from the dangerous waters of the Sea of Sorrows (formerly the Bay of Sirens). With the flood waters subsiding, it was transformed into a neutral free city, acting as a hub for all major Tyrian races. Some remnants of the original Lion's Arch can still be seen in Sanctum Harbour, though the destruction caused by Scarlet Briar's Breachmaker has somewhat ruined this glimpse of the past and left them a little more worse for wear.

Answer: Storm Wizard

Where World 1 of the Super Adventure Box took place across glades, forests and swamps, World 2 headed skywards, taking players across river rapids, clifftops and and cloud-touched mountains. Awaiting players at the end of the world was the Storm Wizard, who used a variety of attacks including transforming into a dragon after seemingly being defeated. Although the Super Adventure Box was the main focus of this release, there were also some wider changes to the game, including Ascended weaponcrafting and magic find becoming an account-bound bonus rather than an armour/weapon stat.

Answer: Ascalonian Catacombs

AC stands for Ascalonian Catacombs. AC story mode is unlocked at level 30. The dungeon entrance is located in Plains of Ashford. The three paths are: 1) Hodgins Plan to collect the flaming scepters to defeat the Howling King. 2) Helping Detha trap and kill the Ghost Eater. 3) Helping Tzark obtain Ghostly Essence to kill the Colossus Rumblus.

From Quiz "Guild Wars 2" Basics

Answer: Salma District

Personal storylines tell the story of your character, right from humble beginnings in their chosen starting area to the climactic battle against Zhaitan, with branching quests determined by the choices you make throughout your story. For humans, their home instance is Salma District in the great Krytan city of Divinity's Reach, where they can interact with several key figures in their storyline. For norn characters, their home instance is contained within the Great Lodge of Hoelbrak, in an area called the Hunter's Hearth. Charr players will find themselves in the Hero's Canton during some points in their storyline, whilst the asuran home instance is the Applied Development Lab in Rata Sum, and the sylvari make their home in the Dreamer's Terrace section of The Grove.

From Quiz Where Are We In Tyria?

Answer: One of the three World vs. World borderlands

World vs. World pits three servers against one another in a battle for supremacy. Each of the three borderland maps is laid out exactly the same, as servers fight to defend their own structures and capture those of the enemy. While each server may have a slight homeground advantage in their own borderland, the Eternal Battleground, a fourth, much larger map, is a veritable battlefield with players battling against one another for bonuses for their home server. The Mistwrought Vault is contained within a jumping puzzle in each of the borderlands, requiring players to collect two halves of a key before opening the vault and receiving their loot.

From Quiz "Guild Wars 2" - The Living World, Year 3

Answer: Brisban Wildlands

Like Dry Top before it, the Silverwastes were also accessible from Brisban Wildlands, in an area which, up until that point, had been barricaded off and caused a great deal of chatter amongst players about what could be on the other side. The Silverwastes introduced a new zone-specific mechanic that repeats on an indefinite cycle. Players venture outwards from the Pact base at Camp Resolve to maintain defences at four key outposts across the zone, keeping Mordremoth's minions at bay as they launch continuous assaults. Completion of these assault events adds to that outpost's fortification meter. Once all four are at maximum defence, a new event is triggered whereby the ground opens up beneath each and players can enter tunnels below the surface to defeat some of Mordremoth's champions. All players in the zone participating in this meta event are rewarded according to how many champions are slain within the time limit.

From Quiz 9 for 10 - "Guild Wars 2"

Answer: Rata Sum

The Arcane Council presides over the asura, acting in much the same way that a government would. The council favours those who are likely to further the race as a result of brilliant invention. Despite their supposed influence, their reach doesn't extend much beyond Rata Sum, leaving those who are perhaps more wary of the council's motives and proclivity to interfere to set up workshops and work on projects away from the prying eyes of council members.

From Quiz Tyria, Then and Now

Answer: Iron Marches

Back in the days when humans and charr were locked in a bitter war with one another, the catastrophic event known as the Searing dealt a massive blow to the Ascalonians. Using devastating magical power given to them by the titans, the charr turned the idyllic countryside of Ascalon into a smouldering wasteland rife with destruction and death. The Cauldron of Cataclysm was accessible in pre-Searing Ascalon, in the Northlands. It was guarded by a small army of powerful charr, including four shamans. After the Searing, the site of the cauldron was still accessible, though it was located off the beaten track in the Great Northern Wall mission. Mysteriously, the cauldron itself was not there; only the plinth remained. Fast forward 250 years to "Guild Wars 2" and the Cauldron of Searing is a point of interest in the Iron Marches. The cautious charr of the Iron Legion think it's best to prevent another potential Searing-like situation and destroy the cauldron before the Flame Legion get their hands on it, but the Durmand Priory are keen on studying the cauldron as a site of significant historical importance.

From Quiz Help! There's Magic Coming Out Of My Hands!

Answer: Arcana

Investing points into the Arcana trait line enhances the elementalist's ability to switch attunements. In addition to benefiting special arcane utility skills, each point added to this trait line reduces the recharge on an attunement by a small amount. A fully-traited Arcana line with thirty trait points can reduce the recharge on attunements to a time in the vicinity of nine seconds - in line with weapon switch recharges on other professions.

From Quiz "Guild Wars 2" - The Living World, Year 1

Answer: Southsun Cove

What appeared to be a delightful tropical resort destination had a far greater menace lurking beneath its pleasant facade. Once the home of the karka, a race of crab-like creatures who were driven to the surface of the ocean by the movement of the dragons, Southsun Cove was a dangerous place for holidaymakers and heroes alike. The anger of the karka saw their leader, the Ancient Karka, attack Lion's Arch and destroy the iconic lighthouse on the peninsula. The fight was taken to Southsun Cove, where players joined forces and destroyed the Ancient Karka in its volcanic hive, preventing further large-scale attacks on the mainland of Tyria.

Answer: Dredgehaunt Cliffs

Located right in the middle of the zone, Dostoev Sky Peak is home to a dredge mining operation and can be quite tricky to navigate, what with dredge popping up all over the place and guarding the elevated platforms. Completing Arcanist Dotta's renown heart task will unlock her as a merchant, at which point she will sell various Dostoev items, including helms, hammers, and torches. Not only is the area a reference to the Russian author Dostoevsky but the dredge race itself is very derivative of Soviet Russia.

From Quiz "Guild Wars 2" - The Living World, Year 2

Answer: Bloodtide Coast

Prior to this release, the Tequatl encounter was fairly straightforward: when the dragon landed, players would simply attack it until it was defeated. Having seemingly learned from this, the new battle takes place in several stages and requires a fair amount of coordination with other players. Special hylek turrets need to be operated (and defended) to prevent Tequatl from gaining stacks of invulnerability, while others focus on getting its health down. Once it reaches a certain threshold, Tequatl flies off briefly and players need to defend three special batteries and the Vigil Megalaser they power for a set time. If everything remains intact, the Megalaser charges up and shoots Tequatl out of the sky, stunning it temporarily and leaving it very vulnerable to attacks. It will regains its composure shortly afterwards and the cycle will start again until it is defeated. The Great Jungle Wurm (not to be confused with the one in Caledon Forest's Wychmire Swamp) requires even more coordination, as players tackle three independent heads of the wurm, located across Bloodtide Coast.

From Quiz "Guild Wars 2" Dungeon Abbreviations

Answer: Caudecus' Manor

CM stands for Caudecus' Manor. CM story mode is unlocked at level 40. The dungeon entrance is located in Queensdale.

From Quiz Where Are We In Tyria?

Answer: Temple of the Silent Storm

Temple of the Silent Storm plays out as the other Structured PvP maps do, with teams fighting for three control points. Bonuses will appear periodically, giving teams extra points per kill or extra points for holding control points. The map's overall design is more vertical than others, offering unique opportunities for ambushes and quick escapes.

From Quiz 9 for 10 - "Guild Wars 2"

Answer: Omphalos Chamber

All sylvari are birthed from the Pale Tree, and the Avatar of the Pale Tree is a physical manifestation of the tree's spirit. As such, she is well-protected and held in the same regard as Queen Jennah is to humans and Knut Whitebear is to norn, for instance. Players can meet with the Avatar of the Pale Tree at any time and she plays a vital role in the personal story of those playing as sylvari.

From Quiz Tyria, Then and Now

Answer: Mount Maelstrom

Often reached earlier in the game for armour-hungry players, Droknar's Forge was, chronologically, the last major place of refuge for Ascended players, prior to their journey to the Ring of Fire Islands. The city is named for one of dwarf history's most famous kings, Droknar, a character instrumental in uniting the dwarven factions. Much like Lion's Arch, the rising of the Sea of Sorrows, coupled with the activation of a nearby volcano, caused Droknar's Forge to become engulfed by water. The forge's foundations can now be visited in Mount Maelstrom. Perhaps as a result of mistranslation through the years (from the old languages of Tyria into New Krytan), the location of the city's place of rest is called Sunken Droknah.

From Quiz "Guild Wars 2" - The Living World, Year 1

Answer: Tixx

Lion's Arch once again got a makeover, transforming it into a wintry wonderland. For all the danger and chaos caused by recent events, the Wintersday celebration was rather relaxed in comparison. Players could visit Tixx himself in his Infinirarium airship and stop his malfunctioning toys from getting out of control, a brand new jumping puzzle saw players delivering presents to children, and a bell choir allowed players to ring in the spirit of Wintersday with a selection of festive tunes. Players hungry for action could participate in fast-paced snowball fights, collecting gifts and prizes for their team.

From Quiz Outside References in "Guild Wars 2"

Answer: Skrittsburgh

Skrittsburgh is built inside Mount Gnashington in Brisban Wildlands and frequently comes under attack from Inquest, bandits, Nightmare Court sylvari, and destroyers. As such, it's up to players to pitch in and help protect the skritt king when he is threatened. After all, these skritt are friendly, and who wouldn't want to help these poor, helpless creatures? Also located in Brisban Wildlands is Skrittsatawney, a much smaller skritt settlement that references the American town Punxsutawney, located not far from Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.

From Quiz "Guild Wars 2" - The Living World, Year 2

Answer: Forward/Up (Fyonna's Path)

With the Aetherblades still roaming Tyria, a new base was discovered inside the Twilight Arbor, leading to the creation of a new dungeon path. This encounter is noticeably more difficult and more time-consuming than the other paths, as players fight their way through hordes of enemies and solve some tricky puzzles to reach the centre of the Aetherblade base where a giant mechnical oakheart (appropriately named the Clockheart) resides. The destruction of this creation doesn't necessarily signal the end of the Aetherpath; upon the Clockheart's defeat, Lionguard forces sweep in and a number of optional supplementary tasks begin.

From Quiz "Guild Wars 2" Dungeon Abbreviations

Answer: Twilight Arbor

TA stands for Twilight Arbor. TA story mode is unlocked at level 50. The dungeon entrance is located in Caledon Forest. The three paths are Up+Up, Forward+Forward, or Forward+Up.

From Quiz Delving the Depths of Tyria's Dark Dungeons

Answer: Queen Jennah

The dungeon begins with a garden party where Queen Jennah is planning to meet a Charr ambassador in regards to a treaty between the two races. Uzolan, an inventor, interrupts the party with his golem, and in the ensuing chaos, kidnaps Queen Jennah. Players then fight their way through the dungeon, fending off Separatists and outlaws to find Jennah being guarded by an elite Separatist captain.

From Quiz "Guild Wars 2" Basics

Answer: Cube

In the previous game, 'Guild Wars: Eye of the North', the asura were driven out of their subterranean homes when the threat of the Destroyers and the movements of the dragons began. They constructed a crude, but functional outpost on the surface of Tyria, which became a major hub on the Tarnished Coast. 250 years on, and the asura have progressed phenomenally, leaving the rest of Tyria behind with their incredible technological and magical advances, allowing them to create a new Rata Sum, a giant city cube suspended high above the Tarnished Coast, connected to the continent by portals known as asura gates.

From Quiz Where Are We In Tyria?

Answer: Bloodtide Coast

The Vigil make their base in the northeastern portion of Gendarran Fields, atop the Vigilant Hills, while the Durmand Priory is nestled away inside a mountain in the snow-capped Lornar's Pass. The Order of Whispers' secret base is the Chantry of Secrets, a location found hidden in Bloodtide Coast. Most players may not notice this place during their travels, but it is an important location for those seeking world map completion as it contains a single point of interest.

From Quiz "Guild Wars 2" - The Living World, Year 3

Answer: Tangled Labyrinth

With the release of "Tangled Paths", an additional objective became available at the conclusion of Silverwaste's meta event in the brief window of time before the cycle began anew. Players are able to access the Tangled Labyrinth deep beneath the surface for a chance to obtain some extra loot. A Greater Nightmare Pod sits at the labyrinth's centre, only openable with a Key of Greater Nightmares (a reward for successful meta event completion). Scattered throughout the maze are smaller Lesser Nightmare Pods which give minor loot but contribute to the overall pod-opening event inside the maze. Therefore, the more players there are opening these pods in the maze, the quicker the meter fills up to complete the event. The event occurs three times during the reset period, which each successful completion of the previous tier causing the next one to require more pods to be opened. The rewards, of course, scale with each successfully completed tier.

From Quiz 9 for 10 - "Guild Wars 2"

Answer: Southsun Cove

Launched on 15 November 2012, "The Lost Shores" brought a new temporary storyline in which a sea-dwelling race known as the karka attacked Lion's Arch and players were able to travel to the idyllic but dangerous Southsun Cove to investigate further. The story culminated in a one-time-only worldwide meta event to defeat the Ancient Karka and protect the mainland from future attacks. In May 2013, players returned to Southsun Cove in "The Secret of Southsun" as a new temporary storyline began involved increased aggression amongst the island's wildlife.

From Quiz Tyria, Then and Now

Answer: Henge of Denravi

During the events of "Guild Wars", the only way for players to access the Henge of Denravi was to activate a Henge Portal, defended by an army of White Mantle. Tucked away in the jungle, 250 years on, the site of the Henge is slightly more accessible. Nowadays, it is the stomping ground of Durmand Priory researchers and Inquest alike, both keen to investigate the strange druid magic resonating from the old henge for different purposes. The great plant fountain, a central feature of the original settlement, can be seen in Brisban Wildlands' Shattered Henge area.

From Quiz "Guild Wars 2" - The Living World, Year 1

Answer: Flame Legion & dredge

With the Flame Legion's power and the dredge's subterranean prowess, the Molten Alliance became a significant force in Tyria for the duration of the "Flame and Frost" arc, which included the "Prelude", "The Gathering Storm", "The Razing" and "Retribution" releases each furthering the story. Two new allies were introduced to players: Braham, a norn guardian and son of Eir Stegalkin, and Rox, a young charr gladium. Covering the Shiverpeak Mountains and Ascalon, the fight against the Molten Alliance culminated in a showdown against two very powerful Alliance leaders and the destruction of the huge Molten Alliance facility deep below the surface of the land. During this arc, the Super Adventure Box was unveiled: a homage to 8-bit video games of yesteryear and, lore-wise, a source of entertainment for players and refugees of the Alliance attacks alike.

From Quiz Outside References in "Guild Wars 2"

Answer: Timberline Falls

"There is no Dana, only Zuul!" So goes the famous quote said by Zuul, the Gatekeeper of Gozer, in the 1984 film "Ghostbusters". The quote is rather true in terms of "Guild Wars 2": there is no Dana, only Zuhl (Sector Zuhl, that is). This particular area is located in the northeastern part of Timberline Falls and contains another reference at its end. The treasure chest that marks the end of the jumping puzzle looks and opens like a chest in the "Borderlands" video games. Of course, you need to get rid of the destroyer troll that guards it before you can open it up and claim your reward.

From Quiz "Guild Wars 2" - The Living World, Year 2

Answer: Edrick

After the defeat of Mad King Thorn in "Shadow of the Mad King" (who cruelly burst through the iconic fountain in the centre of Lion's Arch), it was time to send his son, Bloody Prince Edrick, packing in his reliquary beneath the ruins of the Nolani Academy. Last year's Halloween activities returned, including the fiendish Mad King's Clock Tower jumping puzzle and the Lunatic Inquision PvP challenge.
