Forsaken Fortune mini dungeon and achievement guide (2024)

GW2 Forsaken Fortune dungeon/jumping puzzle guide with detailedexplanations. ForsakenFortune is anew dungeon/jumping puzzle introduced with the Halloween patch andlocated in Dredgehaunt Cliffs. The actual entrance is just west ofWyrmblood Waypoint, across the icy bridge. This place is similar to thedark room in Obsidian Sanctumjumping puzzle and require extensive use of torches to fend off nastycreatures. It is recommended that you bring a friend or two to thisplace.

Pre-dungeon event

If you attempt to enter the dungeon (assuming others are not doing it),it will tell you that the door is locked and you will need to seekGerrvid in Travelen’s Steading. If someone is already inside doing thedungeon or if the dungeon is bugged, it will allow you to enter rightaway without doing the pre-event.

There are three books nearby Gerrvid you can read. I read all of themand once you done, talk to Gerrvid again and tell him you have solvedthe dwarven riddle. This will trigger the pre-dungeon event, which isbasically escorting Gerrvid to the dungeon entrance.

First Room

You will need to grab the torches and escort Gerrvid across the room tothe other side. Grubs and stelks occupy this room and they cannnot bedamaged but you can drive them off with torches (use 2 and 3abilities).

Beware of spike traps on the ground and red circles (there is a spiketrap right in front of you between the two rock thingie that hold thetorches). If you get hit by a red circle, you will lose the torch andneed to run back to the entrance immediately to grab it again. Failureto grab a torch in time will cause you get swarmed by grubs and stelks.If you die, you will need to rez back at Wyrmblood Waypoint and runback (entrance should remain open until you have completed it).

Once you escort Gerrvid across to the other side of the first room ofForsaken Fortune, he will start an event called Help Gerrvid find thedwarven treasure. You will need to gather 5 door pieces scatteredacross the room. They are contained in rubble piles. Just press ctrl andthat should highlight any rubble piles nearby.

Once you grabbed all 5 door pieces, hand them to Gerrvid and he will letyou into the second room.

Second Room

The next room contains the jumping puzzle portion of the dungeon. Onceagain, you will need to escort Gerrvid to the other side. Make that youare not in combat when you jump and that you do not get hit by any redcircles. If you get hit by a red circle, you will lose your torch.Luckily, if you missed a jump or lost your torch, you can just jumpoff and it will respawn you at the start of the room with all thetorches.

Once Gerrvid gets across to the other side, he will start another eventcalled follow Gerrvid deeper into the ruins and asks you to activate 4levers.

The levers are on the sides of the room, there are two that are together(you need to climb the stairs behind one of the levers to reach it).They are often guarded by cave bats so if you see cave bats around,then you are near a lever.

Third room (actually just the first room again)

Once you activated all the levers and the event completes, he will openanother door that actually leads back to the first room. This time,there is a Veteran Fleshgrazer and the same swarm of skelks and grubs.If you die, you will need to waypoint back.

There are 4-5 torch pits around the room and Fleshgrazer will attempt todouse them off to invite the swarm of skelks and grubs. You can eitherlight them back up or just pull Fleshgrazer back to the entrance andhave one person hold the torch to drive off the skelks and grubs (bewareof the spike traps near the entrance).

Fleshgrazer has a very nasty frontal attack that you need to avoid ordodge out imemdiately.

Once you defeat Fleshgrazer, the room will lit up, giving you the chestand achievement!
