GW2 Southsun Survival

Posted on by

GW2 Southsun Survival is a mini game introduced with the latest GW2 game update Cutthroat Politics. If you watched the movie or read the book “The Hunger Games”, you will like this mini game as well. Up to 20 players will be dropped into Southsun Cove with only a bow with which to survive. Scavenge for supplies and kill other Survivors to become the last one standing and secure your victory.
 

How, Where to start?

Talk with Evon Gnashblade inside the Labyrinthine Cliffs area, in order to start this mini game.


 

General information about Southsun Survival Event

When the event starts you will find limited resources around big bone fire, in Southsun Cove, like arrow, rations, camouflage kit, throwing dagger, alarm trap and more. After 3-5 seconds, you can run and try to collect these rations and face many enemies in close combat, or just run away and try to find rations on other places.
 

Goal of Southsun Survival is to survive 15 minutes. This is rather difficult due to couple of aggravating circumstances. Your 1 000 health pool for example is depleting constantly, this makes hiding at one spot almost impossible since you should look for rations that can be used for your healing skill. Every resource you use, depletes one of the same resource. You can see their numbers above the skills, to the right from large circle health bubble. Resources are at the open, or hidden inside rations fruit bushes, or supply camps. The creatures of Southsun Cove slowly move in from the beaches, be sure to check the status of a camp before you enter or you may find a deadly serving of karka.

GW2 Personal Space Achievement Guide

Posted on by

GW2 Personal Space Achievement can be acquired during the last boss fight in Aetherbalde Retreat instance.
 
GW2 Personal Space Achievement
 
According to the achievement information, you can obtain the achievement if you avoid area attacks while fighting Horrik. This basically means that you need to dodge all area attacks until the fight ends. Defeating Horrik at start will not help you, since Mai Trin resurrects him as soon as you defeat him. Avoiding Horrik’s Area of effect spells is the easiest part of this achievement, while the hardest part is to avoid cannon fire. Try to position yourself as far as possible from cannons in order to have enough time to dodge cannon fire.
 
Keep in mind that if your gear or specialization do not give you enough vitality, Mai Trin stealth attack will probably bring you to down state in one attack, and it is going to open a clear road toward the Horrik’s AOE attack.
