The Five Temples of Orr: Temple of Balthazar

Excerpt from Thelemic Influence Hunt (Every Tuesday, Darkhaven Server 21.00 GMT+7)

Orr was a devout country dedicated to the five original Gods of humans, it sunks into the depth of ocean before the Elder Undead Dragon Zhaitan raised it and it's dead denizens as minions, now the five temple of gods are also corrupted and cleansing them is a group event worthy of a big rewarding chest

Balthazar the God of War has a temple called Cathedral of Glorious Victory on Straits of Devastation, the first part of Orr. The pre-event must be completed if you want to liberate the temple, all of them are group event and can be a drag (almost impossible) if you do it solo, they are:

A. Escort The Invasion Pact
- Escort the northern invasion Pact squad to the Pact rally point at Triumph Plaza. Begins at Royal Forum Waypoint
- Escort the central invasion Pact squad to the Pact rally point at Triumph Plaza. Begins at Armada Harbor in Fort Trinity
- Escort the southern invasion Pact squad to the Pact rally point at Triumph Plaza. Begins at Fort Trinity.

Note: You can do one of any of these chain events, but if another escort event have been triggered you must finish it before the next progress can be started

B. Help the Pact reach the Altar of Betrayal before their morale is depleted
This is probably the most annoying escort mission on all Guild wars 2, the pact force consists of some NPC and when one of them killed their overall morale depleted, they have little HP and can't be revived but can be healed with wells and AOE heals. The NPCs are also like to rush the risen so it's your job to get the risen before they got the NPCs, sometimes Risen spawned right in the middle of the NPCs and must be interrupted/knockback before they do much damage to them. the NPCs are also like to bug out, stopped in their path, halted the entire progress of the mission and locked the temple of Balthazar until the next server reset =((

C.  Seize the Altar of Betrayal before Pact morale can be broken
When the pact troops arrived on the temple it become the defend area mission, just wipe all the spawned risen before they got to the big blue defend area and you'll be fine

D. Legendary Fight: Defeat the Risen Priest of Balthazar before it can summon a horde of Risen

This is the final mission on liberating the temple of Balthazar, the Risen Priest of Balthazar can do a one-hit-kill AOE well, summon Risen Acolyte that will heal him, and when you thought you're safe after dodging a well he fears you to it =)) and yeah he also have TONS of HP and 10 minutes countdown before he summons a horde of risen, despawn, and failed the mission.

The key to this fight is to kill the risen acolytes as soon as they spawn and watch for the priest's AOE, if you're defeated just get back to the Rally Waypoint and run from there, it's not that far, you'll probably need 20++ people for this fight. It's somewhat hard since you have to sometimes switch DPS for the risen acolyte and still must have a good chunk for the Risen Priest to counter the timer, after he goes down the pact will liberate the temple, a big chest will spawn (Rare guaranteed now) and Tactician Deathstrider will set upa a shop selling the +prec +tough +cond damage Armageddon Armors and Obsidian Shard for your Legendary needs
