[edit] Objectives

  • Follow Rurik and help him defeat the Charr.
  • Return to Prince Rurik for your reward.

[edit] Reward

[edit] Walkthrough

Meet Prince Rurik just outside Ascalon City. Stand by him for a few moments so he starts following the road to the Northlands. After you arrive to the gate, kill the four Charr located there. They are level 5 but Rurik and the two NPCs that follow him are able to defeat the group by themselves. Even though the monk that follows Prince Rurik is quite an efficient healer with her Heal Other spell, you may wish to keep your distance from the Charr if you are a low level.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Prince Rurik
"A group of Charr have broken through the gates! They must be stopped at all costs! Meet me at the gates just outside of town in Lakeside. What say you? Will you help me drive these Charr from fair Ascalon?"
Yes Accept: "I'm with you!"
No Decline: "I don't think I'm ready for this."
Ask Ask: "Meet me outside! Hurry, we haven't much time."

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

Prince Rurik: "To the gate! Follow me!"
Prince Rurik: "Quickly! This way!"
Prince Rurik: "Stand your ground!"
Prince Rurik: "That's the last of them!"

[edit] Reward dialogue

Prince Rurik
That should teach them to fear the might of Ascalon! You fought well; I see great deeds in your future, young [Character Name].

[edit] Notes

  • Repeated completion of this quest (and subsequently abandoning the reward) is the usual way to start for those chasing the title of Legendary Defender of Ascalon. The XP reward for killing the enemies here will gradually advance your character through level 10.
  • The best way to gain XP for this quest is to map travel back to Ascalon after 3 Charr die. This will cut at least 25% from the XP per run but saves a lot of time taking and abandoning the quest every time. This can be difficult to time correctly.
  • The Rogue Bull is also level 5 and is near by (unless you have finished the A Mesmer's Burden quest) and can be killed after a run of 4.
  • The information below is the highest possible amount of XP which is when none of the Charr are martyrs, who are 1 level lower than the other Charr.
