Talk:Boreas Seabed (mission)

Umm hello....i just confrim that the master reward is under 20 minutes....I've done the mission in 20:19 and didn't get it. ~Torins

I recieved the Master's bonus with a time of 19:49, so I think that the 20:00 minute time limit can be confirmed.--Damasus 18:41, 4 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Yup, I received Master with a time of 16 mins. I'll remove the unconfirmed note. --MasterPatricko 12:04, 7 May 2006 (CDT)

Rewards
I think I might've gotten 500 faction for completing the main objective, I'm not completely sure though. -- Gordon Ecker 20:36, 13 May 2006 (CDT)
 * You are correct. I also recieved 500 Kurzick from finishing Aborstone.  I don't know if this was a recent change or if I always did but I can confirm Boreas with a screenshot.  Chuiu (T/C)  20:47, 13 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I can confim that. I had 250 Luxon points (from the quest in Tyria) and couldn't buy anything in Aborstone. Than I made the mission and wondered why I couldn't buy anything in Boreas Seabed. Than I looked into the faction listing and was surpised that I got 500 Kurzick points. --Khan Reaper Kerensky 18:58, 4 June 2006 (CDT)
 * The 500 Faction you get do even show up in the chat log. --Chi Li [[Image:Chi_Li.gif|Chi Li]] 16:31, 7 June 2006 (CDT)

Spear doing damage to team
This happened twice to me. The spear did damage to my ranger before we took it. The first time, we were fighting Argo and the spear does exactly 600 damage to me (I had frenzy). Second time was when we were watching the cinematic, bone minions were dying and the whole party was a bit below half their health. I don't know what triggers this but it possible has something to do with people dying near it. Also, it seems like you have to be somewhat near it to get hit by it (I was up the cliff near it on the first time)
 * If you approach the spear before you're "allowed" to take it, it deals damage to you. --68.142.14.52 19:26, 4 June 2006 (CDT)
 * It is my observation that the spear will charge up during the convocation (normally, by deaths near it) and automatically discharge as soon as it is fully charged, dealing 300 damage to everyone in the area (both players and opponents). I am not entirely sure, though. --84-175 (talk) 19:47, 4 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I was doing a "Turtle" strategy and camping out near the Spear with the entire party. Argo and the Elementalists came and started using AoE...and then the Spear zapped all eight of us for 300 damage. It nearly caused us to wipe! Pretty brutal...I think it should be put into the Notes or something that players should keep away from the Spear during the fighting, since it can potentially kill the entire party with one discharge. Thankfully, that was the most difficult part of the entire mission >.> [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:44, 18 April 2007 (CDT)

Favorable Winds
Anyone know why the Boreas Seabed outpost has a constant Favorable Winds all over it? --aCynicalPie 21:51, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * It's not all over it, just by Aurora, who keeps using it. --68.142.14.37 09:32, 21 June 2006 (CDT)

Elder Reef Lurker
You can capture a level 20 elder blue reef lurker. However, they are hostile towards you even before you use Charm Animal.

Looks like they might have fixed this, it worked a few weeks ago when I tried with my Warrior, but did not work with my Ranger today - I just got invalid target messages.Ynara 08:44, 13 November 2006 (CST)

Location
Where is this mission? --Vindexus 01:28, 5 August 2006 (CDT)
 * In terms of geographical location, or place in the storyline? --Lemming 18:54, 5 August 2006 (CDT)

Should we put this in here?
Err, I know this is gonna sound kinda stupid, but I speak some Spanish. Boreas means "north wind". Should we put that in the trivia? Maybe it has something to do with the Jade Wind? Since the source of the Jade Wind was at the Harvest Temple (Kaoya Zun Temple), it would've had to come north to hit Boreas Seabed and turn the waves to jade. I just had to get that off of my mind...sorry. Shade Griffin 12:58, 15 January 2007 (CST)

Sounds pretty valid but somewone would need to comfirm it before they put it in the trivia
 * Boreas was a Greek north wind god, but nowadays boreas/boreal is usually a reference to the north in general - so this could just as well be simply the Luxon's North Sea. - Fourth Horseman 17:36, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

HUGE GLITCH
I noticed that people had been commenting that they were hurt by the spear before they could pick it up. I believe that the last boss Argo actually carries it with him although you don't see it. I was fighting him and after the cut scene ended there were two spears on the pedestal. I will upload a picture to photo-bucket so you guys can see.
 * Argo doesn't carry it, so long as you're near the spear, whenever anything dies, that death will charge it up. Once it reaches level 5, it will unload it, dealing 300 damage in the range specified by the effect (which I think is nearby, have to check on that). Attempting to pick it up early (before beating Argos' team), will also unload the charges, dealing damage based on its current level. --Kale Ironfist 19:02, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

Ritualist can hero/hench this mission easily
If you have a ritualist, you can use the NF skill Warmonger's Weapon to turn this into a total cakewalk. You can cast it on a teammate, or just cast it on yourself and fire away with your staff/wand. You can totally shut down Argo and the Kraken, as well as any other casters in the mission. My ritualist H?H'ed this and easily mastered the mission. Before each battle, I cast a couple spirits, and then cast WW on myself and proceeded to use staff attacks. With my continuous interrupting attacks, Neither Argo nor the Kraken managed to successfully cast a single spell! &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kalendraf (contribs).


 * Would you believe I've easily mastered it on an ele, warrior, necro, ranger, monk and assassin as well? Lord of all tyria 15:43, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Odd glitch..
I was running through today with my ranger and I noticed something kind of odd...When I faced zhu hanuku, he spawned, and then about 2 seconds later, an npc version of him spawned with the same spawning animation, and disapeared almost immediatly. Has anyone seen this before?-Warior kronos 15:19, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah I saw that as well, I was wondering what it was too --Blue.rellik 09:42, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * It's the "cinematic Zhu Hanuku" probably. Did you skip the cutscene? --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 09:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No Blue.rellik 10:01, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay. Weird --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 10:08, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It's probably Hanuku Claus, bringing presents for all the good little massive arthropods. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 10:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Helpful bug
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else, but i didn't see it so i'll post it here. I was just doing this mission with an alliance friend, and just as we killed argo, we took 300 damage from the spear (which we had accidently stood next to). Then after the cinematic, there were TWO spears on the dais. This made the mission a lot easier though it also seemed to have some weird effect on WASD movement for both of us (we were carrying the spears - all other party members were heroes) - so we had to use the mouse to move around. I didnt think to take a screenshot untill after we took them off the dais, but i got one when we dropped them next to the final boss - http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/4903/gw031bi8.jpg

This seems to be triggered by activating the spear at roughly the same moment argo dies - maybe worth mentioning in the article if someone can be bothered to confirm it's not a one-off? --Cobalt 20:42, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Interesting, Be bold next time and add it yourself! RT | Talk  20:40, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
