Talk:Fire and Pain

This mission is triggered also by the Tattered Girl's Cape if you still have it. I checked with the Cape alone in my inventory and the mission was avaiable. Sotaknuck 17:19, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

Sorry for the doble edit, but the mission is triggered also by a simple red iris flower.Sotaknuck 17:22, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

It is important to note that the third and final group of Charr you must defeat is actually an effigy. It will not appear until you have cleared the burning forest of monsters.

Umm, what EXACTLY triggers this quest? I've spoken to her in the HoM with both a red iris flower and her broken flute, yet no quest comes up for me. So there's apparently some requirement to it other than just having one of those items present. DKS01 05:14, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Has anybody tried this with Canthan or Elonian characters? While I was successful with my Tyrian-born characters, it seems many people simply can not get the quest. Vlatro
 * I got this quest with my mesmer, who is Canthan, so I don't think it's that. - Spectrus T 20:36, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
 * got it with elonian char after finishing ebon vanguard, asura, and norn questlines, and i'm pretty sure i couldn't get it after completing norn and vanguard alone.SuicideBunny 20:45, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

I only got this after i won the game.. so maybe you have to win the game before you get the quest Axel
 * I agree with this. If you talk to her before finishing, she says that there's more important things to do. - Spectrus T 20:36, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
 * I got it after completing the Ebon Vanguard primary quest (only) - you don't need to win the whole expansion. Incidentally, I found the patrols of Burning Spirits to be a much greater threat than the quest spawns. Draxynnic 20:40, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
 * I've completed the Ebon Vanguard primaries and it's still not available to me. DKS01 23:35, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
 * I've completed the Ebon Vanguard primaries and the Norn primaries, along with most of the optional Ebon Vanguard quests. This quest shows up just fine for me, so it seems to require one of the optional quests in addition to the main quests.  The one to kill a titan stands out, since this quest takes place in the same area, though that's just a guess. -Gildan Bladeborn 11:32, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Already got and completed the titan one, still no luck. DKS01 17:44, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Completing the game is definitely not needed, I didn't finish the last two primary quests (No. 15 and 16 in the hero's handbook) and got the quest from Gwen. I completed the Asura, Ebon Vanguard and Norn primary quests though and I finished a lot of side quests ...--Guu 13:00, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
 * I've completed all Norn and Ebon Vanguard primary and side quests (no Asura quests at all) and this quest was available. &mdash; Perfectsam  [[Image:PerfectsamPiano.png]] 18:50, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
 * I've completed all Norn and Vanguard primary quests and most side quests, done little on the Asura side, and it's not available for me. DKS01 20:52, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Check if you've done The Smell of Titan in the Morning. It takes place in the burning forest too. Might be required too, who knows... &mdash; Perfectsam  [[Image:PerfectsamPiano.png]] 03:39, 6 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Already did that one too, still no luck. I'll keep tryin though. DKS01 05:27, 6 September 2007 (CDT)
 * You need to complete all the Ebon Vanguard quests.  I have completed the Norn and Asura primary quests but not the Ebon Vanguard.  When I talk to Gwen, she says "I can't belive you held onto that for so many years.  But, with the Ebon Vanguard missing, my own past must be put aside for now.  We'll have time for this matter after my friends are rescued."  After I completed all the Ebon Vanguard quests (I just had one remaining) then she would give me the quest.  --Selflove 01:53, 8 September 2007 (CDT)
 * I already HAD completed all of them, and she wouldn't give it to me. Then I went back yesterday, with the same items in inventory, without having completed ANY more quests, and then it was available. Weird. Oh well, at least I finally got it. DKS01 00:20, 18 September 2007 (CDT)

Hard?
lol.. has anyone found this quest particularly difficult.. do to the fact that there are hundreds of SF and SH eles flying around?

Yeah, it's crazy with all the elementals and fire spirits, not to mention the boss is fire ele as well. I managed to get through with Power Block interrupt Gwen, SF Vekk, LoD Holy Haste monk hero, Cynn, Mhenlo, Lina, and Herta, but only with careful pulls. It's possible to get one group at once. The fire spirit mob was close though, thankfully Gwen had CoF and PB. --Milo 23:44, 2 September 2007 (CDT)


 * I managed to kill the Boss' group with only one death. All you have to do is spread out as much as possible. --Curse You 15:01, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

Requirements
There is another Item that works to trigger the Quest: The Broken Flute. I had both, but the Gwen's Broken Flute was as Offhand item equipped to my Master of Whispers, and she take the Broken Flute when i accepted the quest. —  Zerpha The Improver  15:05, 9 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Tapestry shred worked for me
