Boreas Seabed (mission)

Primary
There are two parts to this mission: in the first part, the party is expected to best 3 Luxon teams, thus earning the right to wield the Spear of Archemorus. In the latter part, the party is to use the spear to defeat the mighy kraken named Zhu Hanuku.

Part 1: The two bosses that are with every team have a Resurrection Signet each, which they will use instantly when one of their team members dies.

The first team will come from the left, it will be a led by Daeman and Seaguard Eli. The biggest threat they pose is the interruption they can inflict. Daeman has Choking Gas and can shut down a spell caster completely for some time.

The next team will come from the middle and will feature Aurora and Seaguard Gita. Seaguard Gita is a monk so it's best to dispatch her quickly. Beware Auroras Barrage. Also, the two Luxon Warriors of this team can be a problem, if they gang up on a spellcaster.

The third team is Argo's team and he can be quite formidable for the unaware. His elementalist attacks and especially his special skill Argo's Cry can easily overwhelm the party if they are not prepared. The other boss is Seaguard Hala who is a mesmer. The party should focus its attack on Argo from the very beginning and make sure to interrupt his cry.

After the three teams are defeated, a cutscene will lead to the next part.

Part 2: Since the Spear of Archemorus does not have to be held to charge up its best to have the tank of the party carry it from place to place. The way the spear works is that it charges up as more and more creatures die around it. So, it's best that the wielder not be a monk standing at the back. The exact range in which the spear charges is unknown at this time. When dropped, the spirit of Archemorus will be seen emerging from the spear and then shortly after, the damage that was stored in the spear will be released to nearby foes.

To find the kraken, exit the arena through the gate that now opened (opposite the spear pedestal). You will be walking out onto the Jade Sea. There will be groups of Naga and Rot Wallows on the shore. Once you get to the sea, you will encounter groups of Creeping Carp and the like but you will also notice groups of Kraken Spawn. Should you destory these, they will spawn a single Kraken Spawn that will head to a destination further east (where Zhu Hanuku will spawn).

After reaching that area, you will notice a number of Kraken Spawn in a corner of the Jade Sea. Upon defeating a number of them, the kraken Zhu Hanuku will spawn in a cutscene.

The kraken has only two skills: Resurrect which enables him to resurrect the recently slain spawn and a very devastating spell called Jade Fury. Defeating the kraken can be easily achieved if the party has a dedicated interrupter who can shut down the monster's lone offensive skill, Jade Fury. If this skill is denied, killing the monster will noticeably easier. Rangers and Mesmers would be most qualified. A Ranger with 16 Marksmanship can use Broad Head Arrow (it can be capture from Daeman earlier in the mission) to keep Zhu Hanuku constantly dazed as long as they have enough Expertise to keep meeting the energy cost.

Zhu Hanuku still has a very high health and armor level, as well as a quite potent ranged attack. The damage dealt by the Spear of Archemorus is multiplied several times against him, though, so it is highly recommended to enter this battle with the spear fully charged.
