I don't know if this is old news or what, but my guild members and I were just venturing deep into the underworld doing the monuments quest from grenth and we got pretty deep into the underworld. while we were running through the quests and all, one of the party members, went one way and i went the other. we didnt clear up who to follow so the members followed me (cause i was party leader) and the single party member went off the other way. i noticed him on the mini map but i believed he was just getting someloot. like 5 min later, he said in the team speak. I found gwen! and we all said, she's dead got trampled during the charr invasion. and he said no really, i found her. and then he directed us to him, and there she was, gwen, in the underworld. how did she get to the underworld i do not know. i can only imagine, u must return her items to her for some great reward as it has been building since the ascalon city and i've been finding her flute/cloak in the most random areas. i actually just deleted them from my inventory as i got to higher levels. we didnt really stay there long and we continued on our quests. i'm trying to get her items and deliver it back to her.

I'll try to go there again with the same group and take screenshots.

Fascinating, if true... did she allegedly ask for her items back, or for that favorite thing that she gave you after giving her things?

While I must admit to a fair degree of skepticism... I do hope this turns out to be true. I've been holding on to Gwen's old stuff forever, much to the amusement of my guildmates. Just for quick referrence in case this IS correct, I thought I would post where you can find Gwen's stuff.

-Her flute is in Old Ascalon, usually in the ruins of Ashford village somewhere.
-Her cape is in Stingray Strand, oddly enough, usually somewhere in the hills just west of Fisherman's Haven
-Then there's the Tapestry Shred. The OP didn't mention this, but I suppose it'd make sense if this was involved too. You get this in Pre-searing from Gwen herself when you give her the flute, cape, and flowers.

I really hope this turns out to be true... otherwise I'll feel pretty silly for posting all that.

Yes please post screenshots. Especially the route to get there. I still have the stuff in my storage. I'm interested in seeing what she gives you.

This is the first post I've seen that someone has seen Gwen post-sear. NOw, I'm glad I didn't get rid of her stuff. I'd almost gotten rid of the tapestry thing several times now.

A friend of mine told me the same thing. He found Gwen in the UW, he said. He couldnt give me proper directions and I never found her in 50 trips down there :/
He was blabbering something about "Gwens Fortress"...I dont remember.
I think the presence of Gwen's items scattered throughout post-sear Tyria makes sense if this is indeed true.
But damn, I need directions...exploring the whole of UW isnt pertinent...as I goto UW with PUGs...and not everyone will be interested in exploration :/

Oh and UW is the ONLY place where Gwens Presence makes sense...cuz she died...

Like others, I would love for this to be true. However until I see a screen shot I'm going to continue to believe that Gwen is living with General Leo and both can be ressed by fighting on the veldt until you kill 255 perl dragons and the last one might drop a "true phoenix down" for you.

Unless I'm forgetting something, I don't recall any direct proof that Gwen ever died. A broken flute and a tattered cape do not prove that she actually died. Granted it is the explanation that makes the most sense, but I don't think it is the ONLY possibility.

Yeah, you can find little tom's whole body and he's not dead

P.S. I forgot, that Akuma lives with Gwen and Leo, they can all be had if you survive for 10 mins vs M.Byson without taking any damage

I spent over 15 hours in pre searing looking for every possible hint to lead to the answer of the gwen mystery.

I collected everything, the three beautiful items, i have the flute tapestry and cape.

I knew this all would lead up to some big secret, I just hope im right. Keep working on directions

If we do receive directions, I would definitely like to be there (although I think I threw Gwen's stuff out already )

Do you think you can use the tapestry shard from another character when you had already gotten the tapestry shard in pre-seering then trashed it?

It's not class specific You get it after Rurik and ... >_> Someone... finish talking right outside of the gates of Pre-Sear Ascalon.

Anyway. About the OP, why do you have to go back through UW again? Because if you did see her, why just not take a screen cap right then?

im not completely sure about the directions and u cant just press 'm' map to see where you are or i would just take the screenie of the map and use the photoshop and draw line to her...and im not completely sure where she is either..i have a group right now going to find her so i'll keep you all updated. the thing i can make sure, is its after the monuments quest, and it's not like she's in the middle of the road, it's kind of like a bonus i guess, she's away from the road near a big building. I'll be sure to take a screenshot if i find her. if you want to go hunting for gwen with me you can pm me. i can only imagine what the great reward. the best thing is probably attrib points but yea, i'll keep u all updated about this gwen thing. im also starting to trade with my guild members for gwen things

Well good luck to anyone who trys. BTW the best party to pick in the UW is in my opinion..

If you whisper me now and you know where to find Girl's Tattered cape I'll pay you 1k per cape found. I'm in Fisherman's Haven.

I do not want to buy them. i want to pick them up off the ground.

What kind of tattered girl cape?

There are two kinds, one was salvage-able and one stated that it was a quest item.

I havent seen either since one of the more recent patch updates from 2 weeks ago.

Nope, tried it. You can't get Sarah to say anything, even if you're carrying the broken flute, tapestry shred, tattered cape, new cape, new flute and a bunch of red iris flowers. I've still got all that stuff, tried it, and nothing happens.

(Never knew the purpose of Arnaud and the other ghostie there either, aside from the rather pun-filled conversation they have)

Never tried it with Gwen, though, because I have yet to see her there. But I'm all for XP questing in UW anyway, so if anyone wants an experienced W/Mo (Sister Mercy) or a Blood Necro (Sister Sin, w/ Well or BiP, + Ritual) to go spelunking with and see if there's any truth to this, message me in-game. I'll bring all that junk.

I'm guessing though that if there's a quest, it's broken.

bitorrent: what kinds of creatures were you encountering at the time or in that area?

The one between FH and Sanctum Cay. My guildie saw one last night and someone named Fatty Jr said that he picked one up on the way to FH last night.

I have found both kinds in that area. The salvage version is the older of the two. I still have both types though.

As said its not class expecific, you just need to listen to Rurik talking with someone near the gate and when Rurik walks away the other guy will eventually get a green ! ... its easy to miss like Old Mac showing up to talk to Althea about his bull being killed when you make the Mesmer quest.

Can any of you actually believe that an entire group finds Gwen and yet, not a single one of them thinks it worth grabbing a screenshot?

Puuuleeeaze!
