Flashing Blades: Lou, of the Knives (Am Fah, Shenzun Tunnels) [during the To Tahnnakai Temple Quest] and Waeng (Am Fah, The Undercity, during Assist The Guards quest) So the only possibility to capture that skill is during those quests?
Well that blows ... gotta grab some random pug.

Lou of the Knives can be found without a quest, I capped from him after finishing the PvE missions.

A guildmate of mine was in Kaigeng Centre with Gaile Gray today and asked her about the skill "Assassin's Promise". So far no-one found it apparently or they just didn't post it for some reason. Gaile Gray said that a Programmer confirmed that the skill is somewhere in the game. So if someone finds it, plz post. I believe I ran through the area's too often now. 1,5 week ago I allready had 175 elites and now 2 days long 179. And I'm starting to get annoyed with not being able to find it.

I agree, it's becoming very frustrating not being able to find Assassin's Promise. I'm wondering if only a specific quest triggers the supposed boss to spawn. Ever explorable area has definitely been checked, and nothing. I'll keep looking, but I'm getting close to giving up.

I wonder if this was in the game, like heal as one was. Where they thought they had added the boss but not the skill and had to slip the changes in after

I went over and reviewed Gaile's chatlog, here's something obvious worth noting:

Quote:
...and they tell me that Assassin's Promise is in the game now.
That seems to imply that it wasn't in the game previously, so we may need to go back and double check many of the explorable areas.

Oh yes, and Gaile did address the upgrade NPC status...

Or else A.net liked my Spontaneous Combustion spell suggestion.

Re: the Rez shrine, you have to get close enough to it to light it up, and which one you need to activate will depend on if you're Kurzick or Luxon. It's not a bug. Bosses deal 2x the damage by design in chapter 2. Since they are level 28 and has higher attributes than you can possibly reach, they will deal out more than 2x the damage than you can at 16 attribute level. Add to that the fact that bosses are accompanies by minions that also cast spells, it is real easy to go from full health to zero in a second when the damage packets all hit. Kunvie Firewing with the 3 other saltspray dragons is pretty wicked. There are some other elementalist and ritualist bosses that can wipe a party quickly too.

Hehe, got owned by the saltspray dragon did we ? Well main tric is to get those annoying kraken spawns first, then try and lure some saltsprays (watch out for spawning oni's) and then finish of the boss, as for his elite, I got lucky I think, I didn't get hit by it
And yes I already posted that the mesmer boss was already killed by the oni boss, you here them fighting when you reach the path below where they are

Here's a bit of an update on the narrowing down of the location of Assassin's Promise. I spent today hunting in the southern parts of Echovald Forest: Morostav Trails, Mourning Veil Falls, The Eternal Grove(Explorable) and Drazach Thicket. And of course, nothing. I've now searched every nook and cranny of the Kurzick explorable areas (with no quests active), and still am unable to find any clues. My guess is that it's in some Mission or is activated by some quest. Hope this helps in the process of elimination. :/

I did, however, find a Lorelle's Long Bow in the process

This skill is starting to stump me to all hell. When I get home from dinner, I'll take a team of hench and go back out exploring.

Think i can exclude Xauqang Skyway. Difficult to say in those city but im to 90% sure it cant be found there.
Other areas like Drazach Thiket are mentioned before, so theres nothing more new.

No, no one's found it yet (or at least come forward as to where it is). Many people are arduously hunting for it, including myself...we'll keep everyone posted.

Found another location for Beguiling Haze -

I think the devs might of gave the wrong bar to Defiant Anicent Sseer I spent an hour looking for him in the Palace Exploreable area hoping he was near the start since he was near the end of the mission. Not only was he way at the start he has the wrong elite! With a name like his you would think he would have Defiant was Xinrae which would match up with all the other boss elites (all the other bosses has same skills as bosses from thannkai temple) but nope he has Soul twisting.

Am I alone in thinking that its NOT actually IN the game and this is another (oh please I cant put C O C K UP? ) failure (happy now?)

I have yet to see a RELIABLE report of it in the PvE wild

YES, I have it unlocked in PvP too but that dont count waaaaah!

Titles WERE a cool idea... then this debacle happens.... grrrrrr

Well Ive CLEANED out Drazach and Mountain Veil 3 Times (Just in case of a dodgy spawn) NO luck there...

Thing is ... after the amount of negative press towards ANet recently I cant see them admitting "ooops that one slipped away from us". Anyhoo ...

Be vewy vewy qwiet .... I'm hunting cwocodiles......BOOM! Its out THERE > ...somewhere....

yes and people like you fail to see the good points of factions as do most people... *sigh* It seems for me 100% likely that this elite should be in the game for pve also. Just because you can't find it doesn't mean it isn't there.

saves re-doing sun jiang or going the kurzick territory to cap it from the construct. Also to note when you go explore the palace region after the mission you get your special skill from old dragon chops so have fun with that

Don't waste your post by asking about something already explained. Read what the first post says about Quivering Blade, and then look on the appropriate page.

Signet of Judgement and Shield of Regeneration are in Cantha and have been found. Shield of Judgement is a Chapter 1 only skill.

For those of you who don't remember how long it took to find Feast of Corruption in Ch.1, keep in mind that sometimes the info can take a few weeks to get out there. We'll find it...

I am CLEARLY NOT alone as this thread highlights and as for negativity... KMA ... I finished the game in around a week because I've played it religiously (I wonder why?? Possibly its because of the oh so many good points and the passion I have for playing GWx) So ... NO, youre wrong

And the "*sigh" ... please, .... youve made an assumption that I dislike Factions ... rofl ... you could not be further from the truth ... so stop the childish sarcasm and try to understand that after GG saying its THERE does NOT mean IT IS there.... there have been MANY MANY c o c k u p s in this game of varying degree and importance since its release

There has been how many people looking for this now, since the update..? 10's of thousands of players ..... dont you think that since then just ONE of us would have found it ..... look how quick the other MISSING elites were found after update.... so.... what do we learn?

Sycophantic support of Anet & GG is irritating and obstructive. They are a company that makes money from YOU, and GG is a point of contact to make the whole process more fun and dont forget they get valuable info from these visits so it's in their interests to have contact too. However, GG does NOT deserve the crap she gets from others for not having all the info... that fine line is dealt with elsewhere so Ill leave that comment to that thread. They DONT get it right all the time. And since when did everyone start believing everything a salesman says huh!?!?! Next thing, you'll start believing everything you read in the papers ...... I digress....

My passion has been significantly deflated but IM still here and I still love the game. But that does no mean I have to swallow PR as gospel.

I have done what I believe is a fairly good job of clearing Ferndale with no luck.

Maybe ANet could provide a clue..... then we'll have a better idea of whether its truly there......


PS ... Im looking forward to number 3 ... just hope its not too much like the Crystal Desert as thats not exactly an exciting zone is it? I wait with baited breath

ok ok.. i will try and search for this skill as all those 10000's have done. It can be found in Spearheadpeak Tyria, and apparantly not in Cantha. But as i have a ranger i will try and look to get that elite in Cantha. I want to get all elites for my ranger first then move on to my primairy secundairy and so on. So either i get this skill in Cantha in some cheesy cave or have to move to Tyria.

Quick Shot can also be found in Morostav Trail, south from Vasburg Armory toward Durheim Archives. Can't remember the name of the boss.

"Charge" is also held by "Merki the Reaver" one of the outcasts at Unwaking Waters explorable area.

Spellbreaker is held by "Untouched Ancient Ky" in the Raisu Palace or pavillion. I did it in the explorable area but I assume hes there in the mission also as most other bosses are. He is in the north by the docks in the middle area of the palace.

Agreed, Feast of Corruption is one hard elite to get But unless I'm mistaking, there are no reall places like that in Cantha, infact, there is hardly a mob who can match those stone summit of Feast of Corruption (maybe the mob in Kurzick forest, with the Blood drinker boss who has Gust and the assasin boss comes close, come to think of it, anybody checked that one again ?)

Is there anywhere else for equinox? The constructs have spawned for me in the explorable of sunjiang (warrior, mesmer, monk, ele, necro. always the same, at the same spots) and I know the rit is elsewhere, and I think the assassin elite can be capped elsewhere. Why not the ranger?

As for assassins promise - has anyone tried Shing Jea areas?
