 * Mhenlo must survive
 * Master Togo must survive
 * ADDED: Destroy Shiro's construct

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). If you are Canthan, when no more afflicted spawn in, rush towards the other team, and you better have healers. Mhenlo is not good at keeping himself alive. After fighting through a few Afflicted 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. In the near end of the mission, you'll fight a Shiro'ken along with another group of high level Afflicted.

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

Glitches

 * Gaining Access to Vizunah Square (Local Quarter) as Tyrian Born Character. You must complete both Minister Cho's Estate and Zen Daijun Missions, then join a team doing the last part of Mayhem in the Marketplace (Note, it appears that for this to work for tyrian chars, the team leader must have the Mayhem quest). You will be teleported in with the team into local.
 * Gaining Access to Vizunah Square (Foreign) as Canthan Born Character. You must complete Nahpui Quarter (Mission). After that simply run yourself to the entrance of the Foreign Gate. It will be open.
 * Mhenlo and Togo sometimes get stuck in bridges, stairs or floors. Since you cannot proceed without them, you cannot complete the mission. The only remedy appears to be 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. It is not advisable to try and run past the Am Fah as this will confuse the henchmen and Mhenlo.
 * Henchmen on the Canthan side will try and go to the Tyria side as soon as they are in radar range. This is because henchmen will always follow a moving party member as opposed to a standing party member. The henchmen seem to consider both sides to be one party and will start running back and forth between the two. To circumvent this, the Tyrian side could split into two sub-groups, one to fight the Am Fah (with Mhenlo supporting) and one to help the Canthan party deal with the loss of henchmen.
 * Sometimes the main gate will not open at all and so far the only remedy is a restart.


 * Sometimes death would be counted after the cut-scene. This might prevent people from getting the survivor title. (NOTE: This is most likely because Minion Masters are used in most mission attempts here, and when you die in the cutscene [This death isn't counted against you] the minions become hostile and will continue to kill your party members throughout the cutscene)

Additional Notes

 * The players will be taken to Dragon's Throat (Location) at the completion of this mission.
