Flameseeker Chronicles: Guild Wars 2's dragon evolution
I'm praying to Grenth -- not just because he's lord of the dead and my human Necromancer's supreme master but because being in Sparkfly Fen during a Tequatl-stomping session has been threatening to down my usually robust computer and I'm hoping Grenth will take mercy on it. That, or I could just upgrade it. Every little bit helps, though. I've spent most of this past week finishing up the move to a new apartment, but I've still made time to throw myself at Guild Wars 2's buffed-up Tequatl the Sunless fight. I was pleasantly surprised by the encounter and the community's reception of it, and it's definitely given me hope that ArenaNet will be able to add more complex and fun fights of this kind to GW2's open world in the future. Tequatl is like the star of a teen movie, turning every head at the prom after a radical makeover. I know you needed that mental image. You're welcome.
Guild Wars 2 world first: Tequatl the Sunless is down
It's official: The Blackgate server is the first to down redesigned Guild Wars 2 world boss, Tequatl. Less than 24 hours after the Tequatl Rising patch went live, players from across Blackgate rallied to the cause and managed to down the beast after several failed attempts. The kill was confirmed by ArenaNet on the Guild Wars 2 Facebook page. Our own Richie Procopio was present for the killshot; check out his video of the encounter after the break.
Guild Wars 2's Tequatl Rising is live today
Any players planning on a journey in Tyria today had better watch their step; Tequatl the Sunless is back and is none too happy. Undead dragons have never been known for taking defeat well, and this one has evolved and returned to devour and destroy all who cross its path as Guild Wars 2's latest chapter of living world content, Tequatl Rising, goes live. This new update offers players a new group-combat experience as they band together to try and defeat this threat again. Victory, however, is far from assured, and failure is a very real option. So to help increase your odds, devs offer the following combat walk-through video from PAX Prime that might just have enough hints to help you hone your tactics. You can also join the devs for a livestream on Friday the 20th at 3:00 p.m. EDT on the official GW2 Twitch channel. [Source: ArenaNet press release]
