The Great Northern Wall (mission)

Mission Objectives
Scout for Bonfaaz Burntfur's Charr forces.
 * Search north of the Wall to find the Charr.
 * Report your findings to Captain Calhaan.
 * ADDED Find a new way back. Run to the Wall.
 * BONUS Recover the four pieces of Kilnn Testibrie's armor and return to his tomb.

Primary
(This mission can be easily solo'd if you take the healer, fighter, and mage henchmen with you.)

The primary goal is pretty easy to achieve. Simply follow the path northwards, working your way through the devourers. When you run into the Charr boss and his friends, you're almost to the second cutscene. (A on the map) After watching it, it's a simple mad-dash back to the captain. Do not stop to fight the two devourers you will run into and definitely do not try to fight the Charr that are pursuing you. Note that only one party member has to reach the captain; if for some reason you get held up and the enemy forces get too close, someone can try and grab their attention for a few seconds. They'll probably die, but it'll allow the rest of the group some breathing room.

Bonus
Kilnn Testibrie's armor is located in the wreckages you find scattered about the second part (once you've passed the lever door) of the map. There are four pieces, and Kilnn Testibrie's tomb is located in the northeast part of the second area (the Charr overlook would be the third area; if you're at the Charr boss, you went too far).

The locations are marked on the map to the right.


 * 1) Kilnn Testibrie's Crest behind a broken wall
 * 2) Kilnn Testibrie's Cuisse up some steps to the side of a round arena
 * 3) Kilnn Testibrie's Greaves up a hill, just before the Charr boss
 * 4) Kilnn Testibrie's Pauldron in a corner, guarded by a Grawl boss

Don't pass the boss in the far northwest if you want to be sure of completing the bonus. Two pieces are south of the tar, a third just before the last boss, and the fourth on the big loop track up to the north east (another boss spawns here).

This may be slightly bugged; it seems best to collect all four armor pieces first (on one character) and then talk to the spirit. Also if you are with henchmen, occasionally one of the pieces fails to drop and you have to repeat the mission if you want to get the bonus.

Note: This Bonus has displayed a bug at times. The player would find only three pieces with one of the wreckage piles yielding nothing [some say that pieces may be assigned to henchment]. The work-around is to do it once and keep all three and then do it again (making sure to open the piles of wreckage in a different order) and you'll have the missing piece (in addition to duplicates of two pieces). When you talk to Kilnn he will take all pieces including duplicates.
