The Great Northern Wall (mission)

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

Primary
Observe the Charr camp

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. After watching it, it's a simple mad-dash back to the captain. 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
Find the spirit's armor

The spirit'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 the spirit 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).

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.
