Get To The Point: A Statues of Grenth Guide for Guild Wars 2

[@MuklukYoutube]

Here is a link to the full text guide for those who prefer it: guildjen.com/hall-of-chains-wing-5-raid-guide/

[@DrOpossum]

For the broken king (the first encounter) there is no enrage timer, it's a strict time limit and you'll automatically fail once you've reached it. Also time stops once the boss reaches 1%.

[@MuklukYoutube]

I'm honestly just used to "enrage timer" being slang for "this is when your attempt ends" and forget sometimes that some groups can push past that >.

[@DrOpossum]

@@MuklukKZbin I mean largos always enrage if one of the dies :P Just a small detail, nevertheless people should avoid hitting the time limit.

[@riddlesphinxx]

Me, who got pulled into a hardcore raid static who /gg between every statue: “There are jackal portals???”

[@midorikami2537]

Gotta save that 0.2356 seconds after each statue.

[@Zyga21]

0:00 - Intro 0:11 - Ice 1:02 - Eater 2:35 - Eyes 3:29 - End Having chapters might be more helpful with this one just in case someone needs to find the specific boss they're doing mid raid quickly

[@ItsASleepySheepy]

My group actually came up with an interesting strat for the eater orbs. We skipped the first one, then sent a bigger group up during the second green, and designated one person (usually me on QB) to just fly directly into the eater's mouth since that just downs you instead of killing you outright. It ended up saving us a lot of time when we were trying for the CMs, as long as a healer stayed down to pick up the s(n)ac(k)rifice.

[@Akronox]

I think this is the main strategy for that boss since quite a while now. It is not really a time gain though, it is just safer and easier because sometimes spawning the orbs before the green happens is a bit tricky, you don't have to CC and you don't have an extra risk of losing progress if for whatever reason the 2nd green is missed.

[@13lacklagoon]

1 thing About Eater of Souls many groups will kill 2 spiders and send 6 people up 1 person will sacrifice themselves to the suck and the other 5 will get the orbs. (extra person just in case) if you don't get enough orbs you can run off the edge to just go down instead of die.

[@noelic6744]

Oh! I just did this two days ago in a training! We decided to vote on Hall of Chains as a joke since we had a lot of time left after our usual training and after teaching us Wing 4, Soulless Horror, and River in one day our commander burned out so he just said to hell with it, you guys figure it out yourselves I'll just quietly play my role. And somehow we still successfully did it while running around like a headless chickens! (Well, to be fair the commander did give us a few instructions during the fight, like telling only four people to go into the green on the second statue, etc. But it was still minimal instructions.) Anyway, it's surprising the number of mechanics we just ignored or accidentally did right. I still don't know how we succeeded. Looks kinda difficult after watching the video. Haha

[@noelic6744]

@Scuttle Scrub Yea, it's so much more fun if you're struggling and figuring things out yourselves. There is a bigger sense of accomplishment and you get to be surprised during new mechanics and use your head to come up with strategies during the fight. Just more fun and frustrating in general. lol

[@MaxSeidel1]

Great as always. Nice reminder for a casual like me during downtime!

[@Ankah]

Best raid tutorials on KZbin, period

[@daltempla]

Thanks you a lot! Now waiting for the dhuum vid :D

[@riddlesphinxx]

Step 1: Turn on Challenge Mote. Step 2: Cry.

[@shinjimirou928]

@@riddlesphinxx only mean instructors do that *remembers my instructor who turned on cm for the trolls*

[@midorikami2537]

I wonder how short he will manage to make the video, given that basically all the other dhuum videos are 10mins long

[@Adamzychu]

0:35 3 debuffs is fine. The 4th one hurts.

[@Wendigoop]

Just to add more information. The 4th stack freezes the player and does heavy damage over time. But it can be survived if a healer is constantly healing the frozen player.

[@Akronox]

@@Wendigoop Why would you waste your healing on someone who cannot contribute to the fight anymore though? Oddly enough, skills like rebound and AED work on that mechanic.

[@Wendigoop]

@@Akronox They are only frozen for 10 seconds. If they survive they can still contribute. And sometimes it is more beneficial for the team if someone catches a 4th rather than letting a green explode.

[@RaviVemula2]

I'm sensing a pattern here in these Get to the Point guides about "red circle bad". Do you have some trauma from teammates there, muk?

[@MuklukYoutube]

Yes, I've seen many teammates die tragic deaths in red circles (mostly dps) and I have made it my personal mission to warn the world of their danger.

[@RaviVemula2]

@@MuklukKZbin bless you in your noble undertaking 🙏

[@kvhidersine1857]

PRAISE GRENTH! \o/

[@GabrielxMetronix]

Another awesome video. In the intro, how have you made one of your eye glow like that?

[@dimitarivanov8864]

Do you have to start from the first one if you wipe or each statue has a checkpoint

[@MuklukYoutube]

When any of them are dead they stay dead.

[@LCAyoutube]

cant believe the minotaur wasnt mentioned!

[@lyokhamishukov3513]

Dude how are you going to do Dhuum like this? That boss has so many moving parts it'd be like trying to get skritt to build the Twisted Marionette

[@MuklukYoutube]

dhuum was disappointingly easy. I've already done it and sent it to be edited. Honestly I consider some fractal bosses tougher than him. Qadim though has a mountain of mechanics so that one may be longer

[@lyokhamishukov3513]

@@MuklukKZbin Qadim 1.0 is probably a bit easier now that the pylons don't give him retaliation, but yeah you're right he's probably a more complex fight

[@Guillejin]

CA guide pls

[@tracephage]

I will not be fine :(
