Walkthrough[edit]
“Use the icons to emote as directed by Historian Minna.
— Respect for the Ancients
- Speak with Historian Minna to initiate the event, then follow her to each of the relics.
- She will instruct you to perform a ritual before the relics, which correspond to one of the five skills located on the right side of the skill bar.
- The required skill is static for each relic:
- Depending on players in the area and the event scaling, the skill may have to be used multiple times at each relic.
- Once a progress bar is filled, a wave of enemies will spawn.
- The final enemy wave is very dangerous when upscaled, and its reflect and fire trails can quickly down players and kill Minna.

Dialogue[edit]
- Occasionally while waiting for event to start (one of the following)
- Historian Minna: How is it still so well preserved after all these years?
- Historian Minna: I can't believe I'm really here.
- Historian Minna: So this is where it all happened...
- Talking to Historian Minna to start event
- Historian Minna: Ah! Isgarren must have sent for you. I am Historian Minna. Please, I could use an escort through the temple. I don't know what it was used for, but its cultural significance to the seers must have been considerable.
Why not. Lead the way, historian.
Sorry, I have more dire matters to attend to.
- Event start
- Historian Minna: I need to get as much information as I can on what this temple was and how it was used.
- Historian Minna: The seers had more of a cultural religion than a spiritual one, but this place would rival any holy structure in Tyria.
- First relic
- Historian Minna: Here! It says, "Kneel, oh pilgrim, in the Temple of the Blessed Mantle, for..." That's all I can make out.
- Historian Minna: I guess we should kneel.
- Historian Minna: Oh dear, it appears they were prepared for intruders.
- Historian Minna: Clearly pilgrims passed through here, in addition to Divitium Nava aspirants.
- Historian Minna: But what brought them all here specifically? Was it merely to witness the rite?
- Second relic
- Historian Minna: Another inscription! This one reads, "And lift your hands, that you may exalt the seer itself..."
- Historian Minna: Let's see. So we stand here and sort of...reach out, I suppose.
- Historian Minna: These defenses surely weren't part of the temple in its prime. Far too dangerous.
- Historian Minna: "The seer itself"... It seems they weren't worshipping anyone specific, but rather the very concept of being a seer.
- Historian Minna: There's more to this, though. I need to figure out what.
- Third relic
- Historian Minna: Wait, here's something. "Lay your offering at the foot of the All Seer, then focus inward."
- Historian Minna: The All Seer? Well, let's focus, I guess.
- Historian Minna: Really, now. We're not going to damage anything, you know.
- Historian Minna: Lay your offerings... This doesn't seem like a place for tithes, so it must mean some kind of votive offering.
- Historian Minna: A symbolic giving, perhaps, like they were offering a piece of themselves to the culture as a whole.
- Fourth relic
- Historian Minna: Ah, here!
- Historian Minna: "In the shadow of the All Seer, bow your head and..." Hmm. The shadow of the... Oh!
- Historian Minna: They never let up, do they? I guess that's how this place stayed intact all these years.
- Event success
- Historian Minna: The guardian is the All Seer.
- Historian Minna: To turn such a sacred statue into a weapon...how desperate must they have been?
- Historian Minna: I'll go get all these findings compiled. I am immensely grateful for your assistance.
