Mission Walkthrough
Vizunah Square is the first Cooperative Mission of the Factions Campaign on mainland Cantha. The native Canthans, investigating the Afflicted plague, follow Master Togo to meet Brother Mhenlo. Along the way, they are attacked by a swarm of Afflicted. The Tyrians, having followed Mhenlo to Cantha, enter to find Togo and his group under attack.

The mission begins with the Canthans starting from Vizunah Square (Local Quarter), getting a head start into the first courtyard area. The Tyrian team begins from Vizunah Square (Foreign Quarter). After fighting through a few Am Fah mobs, the two teams of 8 meet up, and a cutscene plays. It's important to note that while the cutscene is playing, characters are still under attack by the Afflicted, so it is in everyone's best interest to skip this first scene. The mission involves fighting through multiple waves in three areas, with bosses interspersed within the waves.

Upon completion, the players are introduced to the Envoys: Herald Demrikov, Emissary Heleyne, Messenger Vetaura, Courier Torivos, and Shiro Tagachi.

Glitches
Mhenlo sometimes gets stuck in bridges or floors. Since you cannot proceed without him, you cannot complete the mission. The only remedy appears to be to restart. Unfortunately. Also, if ANY of the Am Fah mobs from the Tyrian side are still alive when the first cutscene begins, Mhenlo will remain fixated on their position (even after you kill them) and will never initiate the conversation with Togo that sets them in motion. Killing the Am Fah may fix this, but if not you will have to restart.

--

Henchmen coming from Tyrian side, along with Mhenlo will continuously try to run ahead and join the battle with the Canthan team. This is more of an issue when there is a Tyrian team with only 1-3 players on it. To avert disaster (death of either team will bring a premature end to both teams missions) the Tyrian team will have to call targets repeatedly should the henchmen run ahead. Otherwise, they will get pinned down in the three Am Fah attacks enroute to the rendezvous with Master Togo and the Canthan Team.

By staying ahead of the Henchmen, and leading the attack on the three spawns of the Am Fah, the Tyran team will best keep everyone inline (except Mhenlo, he seems determined to reach Togo at all expense) The best method for this is to run through the attacking Am Fah, and attack from the other side of it. Mhenlo will stay for the fight, and provide some needed healing and support.

Talking to either Mhenlo or Togo will slow them up momentarily, allowing time to collect drops, heal, raise fallen comrades or raise minions.

This issue occurs most often when teams call targets in the initial battle(s). To save both teams much aggravation, avoid calling targets until joined by the players from the other team.
