This guide is meant to give new players an idea of what this thing called “Ascension” is and why it is beneficial to your character. We will walk you through the steps necessary to get your character ascended in any campaign. We have also tried to include some helpful hints and guides along the way, to make your climb into the elite more enjoyable. So sit back, relax and enjoy the wonderful world of… ASCENSION!
All characters, when they reach a certain point in the game, have an opportunity to become “ascended.” Ascension brings two benefits to the character:
1. They gain access to the Realms of the Gods (the Underworld and the Fissure of Woe).
2. They gain the ability to change their secondary profession.
In each campaign (Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall), Ascension is earned in a different way and has different meaning:
Tyria (Prophecies)
Ascension in Tyria means that your character has received a hallowed, legendary status. Essentially, they have earned the blessing of the Gods of Tyria.
Here’s how you become ascended in Tyria:
1. Find your way to The Crystal Desert.
2. Once there, you need to complete the following Missions (they can be completed in any order):
3. After you have completed each Mission, find your way back to Augury Rock.
4. Speak to Great Ritual Priest Zahmut and gain access to the Mesa.
5. Once you’ve zoned into the Mesa, you will need step on the 3 runes on the ground (glowing) to open the portal to the Mesa cave.
6. The final task you’ll have to go through is defeating your Doppelganger in the Mesa cave. Your Doppelganger is a mirror of your character, even though it doesn’t look like you. It possesses the same skills as are in your skill bar and is armed with both an Eternal Bow and a Chaos Axe. Your task is simple: defeat your Doppelganger before it defeats you. Here are a few guides to help you in defeating your Doppelganger:
7. Once you have defeated your Doppelganger, you are Ascended! You will then be taken to The Dragon's Lair to continue on in Tyria.
Cantha (Factions)
In Cantha, ascension is not called “ascension” but rather Weh No Su, or “Closer to the stars.” It is believed that to defeat Shiro Tagachi, one must become enlightened enough to be able to see the Envoys from the immortal world. Hence the need to become Weh No Su.
Here is how to become Weh No Su or “Closer to the Stars:”
1. First you must have completed the Finding the Oracle quest.
2. Then you must obtain the quest Closer to the Stars from Nika in Bukdek Byway.
3. Here is a guide to the completion of the Closer to the Stars quest.
4. After completion of this quest, you will arrive in Nahpui Quarter and must complete the mission there.
5. Once you have successfully completed the Nahpui Quarter mission, you are considered Weh No Su or ascended in Cantha.
6. Upon completion of this mission, you will find yourself in Senji's Corner.
Elona (Nightfall)
Ascension does not factor in to the storyline of Nightfall. Rather, through the completion of quests, one gains the benefits of Ascension mentioned above, but it is not essential for the continuation of the storyline.
Here is how you become ascended in Elona:
1. After the failed attempt of an assault on Ganadara, you will find yourself in Yohlon Haven.
2. Obtain the quest entitled Hunted! from Sunspear Modiki.
3. Simply follow the quest through its completion. It will take you from Yohlon Haven, through the Marga Coast to Ronjok. There you will meet with Elder Jonah, who will tell you about a sanctuary in which the defeated Sunspears can take refuge. Once you’ve talked with Guardsman Bahsi, he will grant you access to an explorable version of Sunspear Sanctuary. Once you’ve vanquished the insect hordes there, you will be mapped to the outpost of Sunspear Sanctuary.
4. Talk to Lonai and receive your reward for completing the quest.
5. You are now “ascended” in Elona!
Notes
- Any characters, regardless of where they were born, can attain Ascension in Tyria and Cantha. Only Elona-born characters can attain Ascension in Elona.
