There are people asking about this in most of the major towns in-game also. I have spent many hours clearing out the entire forest and have not found it yet. Done every mission (except challenge and PvP) and have not found it. Every other elite skills location can be found on the net somewhere except this one, I am really expecting to see "Added boss to supplement elite skill capturing" in the next update notes.

The boss with "Coward" was added to the game, and same with "Heal as One" I havent yet gotten around to re-exploring all the luxon and kurzick territories. I think he exists now after a recent update that added more bosses to the game.

Yeah I asked Gaile Gray if the boss does exist and she asked some programmer and it does.I'm thinking its going to be somewhere in the forest or jade sea as thats where the new bosses were added to.

Agreed, even though A-Net supposedly confirmed it is in the game somewhere. I've searched every possible spot in the Echovald Forest explorable areas, and came up with nothing. I have a friend who's done the same on the Luxon side, and also has came up empty handed. I've searched most Missions, and many quests in the Echovald Forest/Jade Sea areas, still no Assassin's Promise. I've never had this much trouble or been this stumped by anything in this game. It seriously is nowhere. Unless it's in an Elite Mission...

I doubt it is in an elite mission. All other elites are attainable outside of those missions I do not expect Assassin's Promise would be any different. Anyway I started a support ticket on this, lets see what anet says.

I wouldn't think it would be in an Elite Mission either, that's just ridiculous. But being that no one in the game (or at least in the Guru community) is able to find it, there's something very wrong.

Elite missions dont have capable bosses.

No go there.

I'm convinced a bug or something is keeping it from spawning if it does exist.

There is that possibility that when gaile asked in the middle of the E3 confusion the dev heard wrong and said yes when it really isn't in there.

It's probably meant to be right outside of Kaineng Center or something.

I believe that Master Togo is secretly the holder of the skill, and you have to spam the cap button when he gets killed to aquire it.

After weeding through some 'form' replies, got this:

Is it possible an assasin boss has been added to a Tyrian area, UW, FoW? and maybe cap from there?

although players without the 1st game would potentially be denied the skill...

when u go to a skilltrader, and then sort by campaign, u will see, that it(Assassines Promise) is listed by Faction-Skills.

Faction skills are supposed to be ONLY available in Cantha, Prophecies only Tyria, and coreskills in both chapters.

so i would say, that there is no bozz in tyria.

anyway, i hope, that they fix it soon, too, or at least, that someone finds it...

just a thought:
could it be an Oni boss that only appears when u hit the right spot on a map? everyone who scouted the whole map cannot say, that he/she searched for onis, cause normaly u sheck for non-hidden monsters.

Onis are always Assassin as far as i know, so maybe we should check that.

Ok I know where it is... I am not certain of this but I heard it from the grapevine that is the blackblades alliance that I am in.. Assassin's promise is a cap in the UW which can be reached from Xin Ku corridor.. I repeat I do not know any of this for sure but you guys should go check that place out when we get favor..

Why would it be the only cap in UW for assassin, or even GW for one class when all others are in the normal zones?

Besides some posters have said they already checked due to the Shiro reference.

I have explored every zone in factions without running through, so far nada..
Which leads me to believe it's a boss that can spawn in a challenge mission, or it's not ingame, it has been suggested that Shiro has it, but I don't think anyone has been able to check as anet decided as usual to end the mission on his death..

Ok i heard on another forum (gamefaqs) that shadow blade assasins have assasins promise, although they never use it. the guy used a skill to steal it temporarily (that mesmer skills that copies foes elite forgot name)

there are 2 quests which involve this group of foes, although when i did them..no sign of any assasin boss, might be worth trying both quests again and seaching the undercity. I'm quite sure neither quest actually involved any boss....

i have no idea in the truth of all this, i heard on another forum (could easily be all fake)

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/The_Shadow_Blades

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Lambs_to_the_Slaughter

EDIT: Im quite sure shadow blade assasins are only found during these 2 quests, so possibly if a boss was only decently added (in an update), people may have missed it due to the fact most have already done these two quests..

maybe searching the entire undercity while both quests are active will yield a boss and/or disturbing the ones you must listen to on the 1st quest (possibly a boss spawns when you do this
