Talk:And a Hero Shall Lead Them

I hate this quest! That is a really high rank to get to... I HATE IT! ARGGH! --Frvwfr2 15:39, 2 November 2006 (CST)

I thought this game said there would be no grinding.....--French Hobo 14:57, 4 November 2006 (GMT+12)

This game doesn't have a leveling grind that most other online games have. Grind exists in every game in one form or another but this req isn't that high and should be no problem for people killing every mob while exploring or doing other quests.--Bane of Worlds 08:45, 8 November 2006 (CST)

For the record, I'm trying to get Castillion (or however it's spelled) before doing Venta's Cemetery (again, or however it's spelled). It's not too hard. --Armond Warblade (talk) 21:49, 28 November 2006 (CST)

Bug
I just finished the quest at the rank of Commander with my Tyrian Necromancer. -- Gordon Ecker 00:55, 1 December 2006 (CST)
 * And it is a bug. The quest log still says you need to gain the rank of Sunspear General. That objective was crossed off after I talket to Koss, I'm not sure if it was crossed out before talking to him. -- Gordon Ecker 04:21, 1 December 2006 (CST)
 * Actually I missed the updated objectives, and only noticed that the first objective was crossed out. -- Gordon Ecker 04:24, 1 December 2006 (CST)
 * This quest was changed with the last game update so that non-Elonan characters don't need the General rank. HarshLanguage 04:47, 1 December 2006 (CST)
 * Much better than before. You can practically get to Sunspear Commander on the noob island if you're Elonian born, so this makes it much easier for everyone to pass the quest quickly.
 * I'm pretty sure the changes were only for foreign characters. I think Elonians still need to get to General. Spectrus 23:17, 3 December 2006 (CST)
 * Yeah, just did this quest, and was confused to how I got to this part so quickly, comparatively to my Assassin who had to Grind the 2.5k points. &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 18:26, 4 December 2006 (CST)

Speaking of bugs, my tyrian ele doesn't get a green arrow when I head out to Sunward Marches. If I look on the big map, Sunward Marches is in green and it shows me in that area, but there's no "go this way to blow stuff up" thingie. She's a Sunspear Commander. By the by, the walkthrough isn't very helpful in this situation. --Armond Warblade (talk) 03:33, 18 December 2006 (CST)
 * You didn't have Koss with you. -Scyfer 06:43, 10 January 2007 (CST)

Is there any known way to "become a hero in a foreign land?"

Major Bug
People doing this quest: Watch out! If you forget to talk to Koss in the Command Post it won't let you finish the quest. I just made this mistake. You can get the captured Sunspears but you cannot trigger the end movie that will put you in the next town (And in that, let you actually do the mission)
 * Just tested this for my own amusement. When you don t speak to Koss the Captured Sunspears wil stil Spawn but like it's said you can t end the quest. But also the direction indicator on your radar wil point you back to The Command Post, and the speak to Koss in your quest log wil stil be there so i don t think that this is a bug.Father Silencio 02:44, 20 January 2007 (CST)

Capturing Avatar of Lyssa
I am adding a remark about capturing elites. When you go out into Sunward Reaches with or without speaking to Koss with this quest active you can get a extra army of hench in the form of the Captured Sunspears. To get the avatar of lyssa in the fort was very easy to capture this way for me. Don t know what happens when one of those sunspears die. Wil you have to restart the quest or not? Father Silencio 02:50, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * Good tip. I think it's even more useful on the Acolyte of Lyssa page, so I added a version of it there and cleaned up the note here to make it a bit more general. Take a look and make sure my edits retained the info you wanted. — HarshLanguage [[Image:qswearing_small.png|HarshLanguage]] 03:29, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * Have done the quest again now with speaking to Koss in The Command Post. The Captured Sunspears appear in your party panel as Allies and follow you around. One of the Sunspears even died but i could stil finish the quest. So i think you can do both the capturing and the quest at the same time. Only thing i don t know is how many of the captured sunspears must survive to be able to end. Father Silencio 03:51, 20 January 2007 (CST)

Just completed the Capturing Avatar of Lyssa using the 6 "extra" sunspears. You can still get the quest reward as long as one sunspear stays alive. Mendel 17:35, 1 February 2007 (CST)
