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 Objective
The primary objective is pretty easy: simply follow the path northwards, working your way through the devourers, gargoyles and grawl. You will encounter one boss near a closed gate (which you can open with a lever), and another near the skirmish between the gargoyles and grawl. When you run into the Charr boss and his friends, you're almost at the end (point A on the map). Watch the cutscene, and then it's a mad-dash back to Captain Calhaan. 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. It is enough for one party member to reach the captain; if for some reason you get held up and the enemy forces get too close, someone can try to grab their attention for a few seconds, buying the others some time and probably dying in the process. You have three minutes to make the run, which you can complete in about 2:45 if you don't stop anywhere. Talking to the captain triggers the second cutscene and the end of the mission.

Bonus
Once the first cutscene and the end sequence is triggered, you will not have enough time to do the bonus. Therefore, finish the bonus before fighting the Charr boss.

Kilnn Testibrie's armor is found in the wreckage you find scattered about the second part of the map, past the levered door. Kilnn's tomb is located in the northeastern part of the second area. The quickest path to him is to go under the short bridge adjacent to the tarpit (where the grawls and gargoyles were/are having a brawl), and follow the snaking passage until you see his tomb to the right. Talk to Kilnn to get the bonus objective.

There are four pieces of armor; their 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

You can pick them up as you complete the primary objective. First pick up the crest, then go through the narrow ravine to the ruined arena for the cuisse. Go past the fighting grawl and gargoyles (and the boss), over the bridge and to the left to the greaves on a ledge. Finally, backtrack slightly and take the looped track to the pauldron; a boss will be guarding this wreckage. Stay on the loop to encounter Kilnn again, this time to your left.

Note: This bonus is occasionally buggy: the player finds only three armor pieces, with one of the wreckage piles yielding nothing. The bug can be worked around: as the armor pieces stay in your inventory, simply repeat the mission, retrieving the pieces of armor in a different order. Almost certainly, you will obtain the missing piece (in addition to duplicates of two pieces). When you talk to Kilnn, he will take all the armor pieces, including duplicates.
