The Darkened Sea Info & Guides: Overview | Progression & Task List | Raiding | Visible Armor About Heroic Adventures: - They use the task system (steps are shown in task window, but steps are only revealed as you get to them). - From the moment that you request the adventure, the countdown to request another adventure is 3 hours. - Scale in difficulty, loot quality, and mob levels (based on your group's highest level player - as low as 85). - Tuned for 2-3 players and their mercenaries. - Nameds can spawn as you progress through the task (you usually have to complete a few steps before this can happen). - Collection items can drop from mobs in the instances, and ground spawns appear midway through tasks. - Expected time of completion will vary by your group's makeup (anywhere from 30-90+ minutes). - There is some variations/randomization in the task steps you'll be assigned as you progress through the task. About Our Documentation of Heroic Adventures - We only display task steps we know about. --- If you encounter a step that isn't documented here, please post the details (or email us) and be sure to indicate which step number it was so that we can display it in its proper place.

TASK IN DETAIL ======================================================================== TRIGGERING THE TASK ======================================================================== You say, 'Hail, Praetoria Okkirus' Praetoria Okkirus looks deeply into your eyes with a sorrowful expression, 'I know not why you have set foot upon this island, but I implore you now adventurer, leave lest you suffer the same [fate] as my crew.' You say, 'What fate?' Praetoria Okkirus says 'These ruins mark the death of our ambition, of our desire to expand the territory and knowledge of our people beyond the small refuge we huddled wearily within. What we encountered beyond the beach of this impregnable island were creatures stronger than anything we were equipped to deal with. I offer you a chance to [see] it for yourself.' You say, 'Let me see it' Praetoria Okkirus says 'When you are [ready], I will show you the land as it once was.' You have been assigned the task 'A Fateful Arrival'. The last Combine crew to sail here was ill equipped to deal with the harsh terrain and fearsome creatures that inhabit the island. Relive the land as it was and do battle with the beasts they encountered. ======================================================================== STEP #1 ======================================================================== Clear the western forest of saurek 0/6 (Thuliasaur Island) Task Window Says: ?

If You Get This Step: Kill updates. ===================== Clear the western forest of drogmors 0/6 (Thuliasaur Island) Task Window Says: A small contingent of our bravest warriors set out to recover whatever resources could be scavenged from the western forest. Only one of them returned, but was mocked when he revealed his party fell to a pack of wild drogmors. Prove your strength by putting a few of the beasts down. If You Get This Step: Kill updates. ======================================================================== STEP #2 ======================================================================== Kill a few soulsippers and glistenwings 0/7 (Thuliasaur Island) Task Window Says: Scattered throughout the forest are a number of monstrous flying insects that proved to be deadly encounters for our scouts. Exterminate any colossal butterflies or mosquitoes you come across while exploring the forest. If You Get This Step: Kill updates. ===================== Kill a few ebonwings and ebonwing guardians 0/6 (Thuliasaur Island) Task Window Says: ? If You Get This Step: Kill updates. ===================== Put a few wandering shades out of their misery 0/9 (Thuliasaur Island) Task Window Says: The members of our crew that did not fall to the beasts of the forest remained here on the beach, trying to maintain hope while awaiting rescue. As hunger and melancholy began to overtake them they grew evermore bitter and hateful. Their souls now haunt these ruins unable to continue on into an afterlife. Put their souls to rest by dispersing their undead remains. If You Get This Step: Kill updates. ======================================================================== STEP #3 ======================================================================== Take down a few triceratopses 0/5 (Thuliasaur Island) Task Window Says: Every scout that returned to camp after setting out into the forest spoke of only one thing, beasts with the size and fierceness of dragons yet none of the expected cunning.

I can confirm that the 3 named can spawn at the same time just after the 3rd step as they did to me today 05/15/2017, so the "NAMED MOB" section where it says that they spawn after the 1st, 2nd and 3rd step should be fixed.

Thanks, fixed.

This HA has been "fixed", named or PH only spawn after stage 3 and I assume (although not verified) that only one or none spawns
5 posts
Confirmed that you can get at least 2 named after stage 3, so it is likely but very rare to get all 3 spawn

I got Serthuliakar after the first step. I suppose the named's can spawn in a different order than what it says here.

You ALWAYS will get this step, no "IF."
Contrary to some of the other comments here, this is an excellent HA. It's very easy to complete, since it just involves killing about 41 mobs, with no nameds to complicate the grind. I found the XP in the instances to be excellent. Yes, it "only" gave 4 AA's upon completion but I always see that as gravy. I got 2 nameds to spawn, and neither was particularly tough (beyond getting TO them) altho I didn't tackle them until I had finished all the mission requirements, which took under 2 hours of casual effort. (Could be banged out in an hour by an efficient group who is hustling.)
No collectibles, unfortunately. At least I didn't see any. All three faction races spawn KOS and many of them see thru invis so it's not a trivial effort to search their buildings for collectibles. Faction is the good news, however, since there are no faction hits for killing any of the sentient races: giants, lizards or birdmen. I left this for last for fear I'd end up trashing a faction prior to doing the augment combines. This was the 28th mission of the 28 I needed to finish off the achievement so I didn't want to linger as I'd rather finish off the combines for my skeletal parrot! As much as I enjoyed these missions I'll be glad to see the last of Thuliasaur Island, at least for awhile. (Probably will tackle the hunter achievement eventually, to keep busy until the next xpac.)

OK, with the usual wrong information from our fellow players I expected some AA in the Darkened Sea Adventures. The last one in Call of Forsaken gave 56AA with 160% Anni-Bonus and Lesson. But this one sucked completely: 8 AA at Lvl 105 with Lesson + Double XP Bonus Weekend. WTF? 232 Pieces of Eight is slighty above normal and 210pp as addon and no single Named out of the 3 possibilities....
Never waste a Lesson on Darkened Sea.... even if somebody pretends that its working...

I've done this at least 10 times in the last 2 weeks and only had 1 named spawn. WTF? I'm wondering now if there is a timer that has to be exceeded.
I took my time. Killed a lot of unnecessary mobs farming for Kapok Leaves and Giant Reptile Tooths (used in Tae Ew Armor ornaments). Got all 3 named to spawn!
It's possible for all 3 nameds to pop at the same time in a single HA.
Dropped a Flame Keeper's Ceremonial Cape with a full group at level 100.

The collectibles have all been spawning for me in the Thaell Ew area, in either the temple, the east corridors, or the left corridors. They often spawn right on top of see invis mobs and are difficult to pick up.

The Tiny Parrot's Right Humerus is not unlocked by this mission. It was available to me on the Skeletal Vendor after acquiring every other piece of the aug, without completing this HA. It appears, that said piece is simply unlocked by having everything else

It appears there is something more required to unlock the Tiny Parrot's RIght Humerus, I completed the HA, and see nothing available on the vendor.
