Mission: Nolani Academy

I've done this mission several times and died but now I have a problem. I can't seem to finish the first objective even though I've killed everything. Mind you I've gotten to this point before so I know what to expect. Basically the objective is to sneak out and ambush the Charr forces besieging the academy. Well I'm not sure how to sneak out but before I've opened the gates and the Charr charge. Once all of them are dead it moved to the next objective. Now they're all dead, everything nearby is also dead all they way to the next checkpoint but i can't progress until the first objective is complete so the Prince can tell the guard to open the gate. Any ideas?

I had this probelm the night before.

Odds are you haven't killed all of the Charr.

If you "sneak out" like you're supposed to you might run into the final groups of Charr.

Start the mission again. If you look on the radar you should see several red dots on teh map. They are sneaking out the "back way" of the academy. Just stay on the top level of the academy and follow them out.

Right after I posted I found the backway and killed everything but still stuck.

Is there a way to abandon the mission without exiting the game?

press M for map, and teleport out back to the mission staging area

Ok, I might be confused here, so ignore if I'm not answering your question correctly. From your posts, it sounds like you are sneaking out then trying to get back to Rurik as soon as possible.

I snuck out and followed the path all the way to the other end of the valley, passed the guards at the gate on the other side and fought my way back up the middle through all the Charr. Basically, you have to run all the way to the other gate and back, then Prince Rurik opens the original gate himself. Most everything was dead by this point because my party killed everything in sight. We just had to follow Rurik all the way to the second gate.

Hope this helps.

If you still have problems... look me up. I've been through Nolani about 6 times helping my guildies. IGN: Inez Houndstooth

Perfect! When you mentioned the other gate that helped me a lot. I had been back there but didn't notice that it twisted back around and down to the gate. Good to know another Dallasite can help. Thanks!

Screw the sneaking around.


Bring an elementalist and a Ranger with Ignite Arrows. All stay ABOVE the gate by the lever. Open the gate - let em come - dont move. Start nuking, wipe em out untill ther is none left, then just run out and kill a the 2-3 to the left. Get rurik and head on home....

since i'm at level 20 now i like doing that mission and opening the gate to see how many charr i can kill before i have to use my healing sig they seemed so hard before but now it's a lot of fun to just destroy mobs of them i know i may be bragging a bit but when you reach that level you should go back and re do old missions just for the absolute fun of it

Heh, I went into the flame temple corridor and cleaned house with barrage
