Longest video on my channel EVER. This is The Ruined City of Arah Story Mode in all its glory or lack of thereof... Now here's a TON of time stamps AHOY.

0:44-Intro Cutscenes.

4:20-First Core hunt begins.

11:25-Second Core hunt begins.

14:41-Third Core hunt begins.

22:21-Valley of Giants segment while on the Airship. Just spam 2 here. It's kinda dull.

27:59-Tower Segment. This one is rough we didn't put together a strat this time so...yeah. Take out all three towers to proceed. The toughest tower is the one with the Orrian Gorillas. They are not Magilla Gorilla, they want to smash you and eat you be careful I just recommend ignoring them and taking out their tower. Then run and break aggro from them.

36:18-Mouth of Zhaitan. This one is annoying, he absorbs your boons and unleashes fire orbs. These orbs however can be tossed at him when he is inhaling to prevent him from pulling you all and to do some ok damage.

46:40-Dragon Champion. Eh just have someone deal with the Risen Mobs the rest operate cannons and fire on the Champion.

50:55-Dragon Champions. Same as before just with two dragon champions at once. So man cannons at both sides. This part is buggy and I got stuck, the only way to get unstuck is if you go down and get revived or die. Or when the cutscene happens.

1:06:45-Zhaitan battle. If you can even call it that. It's just pressing 2 on the cannon until it dies.. Boringgg and a huge let down. When are they going to take the time to change this battle and make it something good?



I mean it has some fun moments but...They really need to cut down on the boring wait times during the airship segments. I made cuts there since it takes sooo long for things to happen. I also watched all cutscenes minus one.

Dungeons in Guild Wars 2 just...aren't that great. They drag on, there's nothing stopping people from kicking you for no reason, sometimes you may even be refused entry into a party because of your profession lol. Luckily with story modes that doesn't happen but..It takes time to find a group for story modes since they aren't very popular and only this one is mandatory to complete your Personal Story.

Don't get me wrong some dungeons are fun though, like the Molten Facility was...But that wasn't permanent content sadly. Oh well. My party was decent for mostly first timers but had some moments that showed we had little team work at all. So not as fun as my first time was. No one even said thanks for the group or anything at the end, all just left.

The most disappointing thing is the battle with Zhaitan by far. You already were spamming buttons while operating stationery cannons so you get to do it some more! This is the opposite of an epic boss battle folks, an Elder Dragon shouldn't go down like such a chump.

That and certain other MMOs have much more satisfying end game dungeons*coughFF14cough*.
