Heart of Maguuma

2026-06-26T19:10:11Z

92.116.136.215: I wanted to unlock the map heart of maguuma and followed this guide to complete the prologue. However once completed and attempting to access the zone via the portal in tangled labyrinth, it says that it's insufficient and that completion of torn from the sky is required, hence I am updating since this information is either wrong or outdated.(This is pasted from the other page I just edited, because it's the same reason and basically the same edit.))

[[Heart of Maguuma]] is a [[region]] west of the [[Tarnished Coast]], just beyond [[Rata Sum]]. It contains the thickest forested parts of the [[Maguuma Jungle]] and is the longtime home of the [[Quetzal]] [[tengu]] and [[Itzel]] [[hylek]] who still live there today. In the past 200 years, it has seen the emergence of new groups and species to its local inhabitants, such as the [[Exalted]], [[Nuhoch]] hylek, and [[Chak]]. It was also once the home of [[druid (group)|druid]]s and the [[asura]]n city of [[Rata Novus]]. In the past couple years, it has largely become overgrown by [[Mordremoth]]'s corruption and [[Mordrem|minions]].

[[Malyck]], a sylvari that was not born from the [[Pale Tree]], originated from the direction of the Heart of Maguuma, indicating a second 'Pale Tree' in the region. So far no evidence of Malyck's tree has been found, though there are five [[Blighting Tree]]s seen, and given the description for Malyck's tree's location it is possible that it is east of [[Tangled Depths]].

== Getting there ==
* The [[Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns]] [[expansion]] is required to access this region.
** Activate the [[Heart of Thorns story]] in your [[Story Journal]] in the [[hero panel]], then go to [[the Silverwastes]] and talk to the scout at the green star near [[Red Rock Bastion]]. Complete [[Prologue: Rally to Maguuma]] and [[Torn from the Sky]] to gain access to [[Verdant Brink]].
** Alternatively, if your [[guild]] has the [[Lost Precipice]] or [[Gilded Hollow]] [[guild hall]] you can enter your guild hall via the [[guild panel]] and then walk through the exit portal. However, the exit from Gilded Hollow will not allow you to access anywhere useful in [[Auric Basin]] without further progress in Heart of Thorns.
** From the [[Silverwastes]]: the [[Portal (zone)|portal]] to [[Verdant Brink]] is in the south-western part of the map, through a door behind [[Amber Sandfall]]. First time access is activated through the [[Story Journal]] entry [[Prologue: Rally to Maguuma]] and [[Torn from the Sky]].

== History ==
=== Long ago ===
Sometime in the last awakening of the [[Elder Dragon]]s, one of them, the Jungle Dragon, [[Mordremoth]], went into hibernation deep within the Heart of Maguuma.

In the year 100 AE, the volcano [[gw1:Abaddon's Mouth (landmark)|Abaddon's Mouth]] which contained the fragmented [[Bloodstone]] erupted, sending the shards throughout [[Tyria]], with one of them falling in the Heart of Maguuma, forming the [[Bloodstone Fen]].

The [[Mursaat]] inhabited this region for a long time where they built a fortress known as the [[Stronghold of the Faithful]]. It is here that [[Saul D'Alessio]] arrived after his exile and met the Mursaat for the first time who welcomed him and gave him new clothes and food.

Through the [[White Mantle]], the Muursat used the [[Eye of Janthir]] to search for [[gw1:Chosen|Chosen]] among the people of [[Kryta]] and took them to the Bloodstone Fen where they would be sacrificed and use their souls to keep the [[gw1:Door of Komalie|Gate of Komalie]] sealed.

=== Intermediate years ===
Sometime after 1125 AE, a group of [[Zephyrites]], together with the [[Forgotten]], built a settlement in the [[Lost Precipice]], however at some point the place was abandoned. The [[Tarir, the Forgotten City|City of Tarir]] was later built where the [[Exalted]] would live to protect the entire world from the threat of the Elder Dragons as part of [[Glint]]'s prophecy.

In the deeper reaches of the Heart of Maguuma, [[Zinn]] formed the city of [[Rata Novus]] whose inhabitants were researching how to defeat the Elder Dragons. Following contact with the Exalted, the two groups became allied in their goal. However, Rata Novus would later fall to the local [[chak]] which were drawn to the [[Ley line|Ley Line]] energy stored within the city. Most of the population perished while a small group of refugees lead by Zinn managed to flee to [[Draconis Mons]] in the [[Ring of Fire]]. In that time, Tarir remained inactive waiting for [[Glint's Egg]] to arrive.

=== [[Living World Season 1]] ===
[[File:Heart of Maguuma cinematic art.jpg|thumb|right|Magic of [[ley line]] addressing the Heart of Maguuma.]]
In the year 1327 AE, Mordremoth awakened deep in the jungle, thanks to [[Scarlet Briar]] tapping into the Ley Line hub underneath [[Lion's Arch]] with [[The Breachmaker]], which shortly resulted in him spreading his influence and [[Mordrem]] minions in some regions of [[Central Tyria]].

=== [[Heart of Thorns]] ===
In the year 1328 AE, the [[Pact]] entered the region along with some members of [[Destiny's Edge]] to strike at Mordremoth early in his awakening. However, they were caught off-guard as most of their fleet was destroyed by Mordremoth's long-reaching vines shortly after their arrival.

During the Pact's advance through the region, [[Caithe]], who had stolen Glint's Egg from the [[Master of Peace]] earlier that year, resurfaced and was able to hand off the egg to the Pact Commander so that it could be brought to Tarir for safekeeping among the Exalted.

After a 43-days campaign, Mordremoth was slain by the [[Pact Commander]] along with their allies deep within his [[Dragon's Domain|domain]].

=== [[Living World Season 3]] ===
During the year 1329 AE, The Bloodstone shard that was in the Bloodstone Fen exploded due to the manipulation of the White Mantle that they had been working on for years in secret. This resulted in the entire area around the shard being ravaged and tainted with bloodstone magic and releasing the [[Bloodstone ghost|ghosts]] of those that were sacrificed to the Bloodstone long ago.

In that same year, [[Aurene]], the second [[scion]] of Glint was born within Tarir, which was soon attacked by [[Primordus]]' [[destroyer]]s. To the surprise of the Pact Commander and their allies present during the defense, the last surviving Mursaat known as [[Lazarus the Dire]], made his appearance and helped them drive away the destroyers.

== Geography and climate ==
The Heart of Maguuma is a region full of wildlife and features lush vegetation, swampy places like the [[Bloodstone Fen]] (where the [[Bloodstone]] used to reside before it exploded), and with big, dangerous canyons leading deep into the earth. Due to its overgrown nature, subterranean caverns, canyons, and massive trees with large crowns, some view it as a maze and get lost or twisted within the foliage and its many pathways.

It has a network of underground caverns, where it is inhabited by various creatures such as the [[Chak]] and at the top of the treetops it is usually inhabited by tribes of [[Hylek]]s, such as the [[Coztic]], [[Itzel]] and [[Nuhoch]]. And on the surface it is usually inhabited by [[Saurian]]s, as well as a little-known species like the [[Exalted]]s that usually live deep in the [[Tarir, the Forgotten City|city of Tarir]]

With the awakening of [[Mordremoth]], the region has been affected by the dragon's corruption and the [[mordrem]] invasion of the place.

== Notes ==
* Guild halls in this region can be accessed by all players regardless of expansion ownership, so long as they are members of a guild that has a guild hall.
* [[Ember Bay]] is apparently considered as part of this area since its lumber count towards the [[Daily Heart of Maguuma Lumberer]] achievement.

== Trivia ==
* Prior to the [[Game updates/2016-04-19#General 2|April 19, 2016 game update]] the region was known as '''Magus Falls'''.
* Internally at ArenaNet, this area was known as "Jungle."<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/5oao34/lake_doric_north_of_divinitys_reach_accidentally/dcjq4bo/?utm_content=permalink&utm_medium=front&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=Guildwars2 Comment by Linsey Murdock], Reddit</ref>

The [[Verdant Brink]] is the first major [[zone]] players enter in the [[Heart of Thorns]] expansion pack, and is the entrance to the [[Heart of Maguuma]] region. The aftermath of the [[Pact]]'s disastrous assault on [[Mordremoth]] is most visible here, with massive vines and still-burning airship wreckage strewn across the landscape. The local [[Itzel]] [[hylek]] have made fast friends of the newcomers, and will accept [[Airship Part]]s for unique and valuable supplies.

To secure the area, pockets of Pact survivors and the Itzel tribe can be assisted in their survival against the [[Mordrem]]. In the daytime, each outpost needs help in gathering survivors and assembling defenses. During the night, the Mordrem attack in full force, creating a zone-wide battleground to hold rally points and recover supplies. Towards the end of the night, powerful Mordrem lieutenants take residence in the canopy of Verdant Brink, and must be brought down.

== Getting there ==
* Complete the story steps [[Prologue: Rally to Maguuma]] and [[Torn from the Sky]] from the [[Heart of Thorns]] story once, which then unlocks account-wide access to the portal from the Silverwastes described below.
* From [[the Silverwastes]]: the [[Portal (zone)|portal]] to Verdant Brink is in [[Tangled Labyrinth]], through a door just west of [[Amber Sandfall]].
* From [[Auric Basin]]: the portal to Verdant Brink is in the north-west corner of the map, near {{waypoint|Wanderer's Waypoint}}.
* From the [[Lost Precipice]] [[Guild Hall|guild hall]]: the portal to Verdant Brink is in the southeastern corner of the map.

== Events ==
{{event timer|hot-vb}}
The majority of events in Verdant Brink are part of the two consecutive [[Map meta event|map-wide meta events]] based on the in-game [[Day and night]] cycle. Events during dusk will count towards the day events and during dawn – towards the night events.

During daytime, the map meta-event is [[Securing Verdant Brink]], which focuses on building up the five [[outpost]]s through their respective [[event]] chains in order to prepare for the night. At night, the map meta event is [[Night and the Enemy]], where players need to defend multiple [[rally point]]s against waves of enemies and, in the later half of the night, fight the [[boss]]es in the canopy. Successful completion of events during the night increases the level of rewards in 4 tiers.

=== [[Securing Verdant Brink]] ===
During the day, each of the 5 [[outpost]]s has its own meta event chain, which must be completed to fill its bar. After these main chains are completed, small events will occur frequently near the outpost, and a few of the chain's events may repeat.

=== [[Night and the Enemy]] ===
During the night, events are at first focused on building up and defending [[rally point]]s and then on slaying the bosses in the canopy during the second part of the night. There are up to four rally points per outpost, for a maximum of 20 in total. Maintaining control of rally points around an outpost during the three defense waves which occur during the first half of the night is critical for map meta-event progression. When under [[Pact]] control, each rally point has a supply level which can be filled by bringing Pact Supplies to the rally point and [[Escort the Pact soldier to the nearest rally point|escorting soldiers]]. Raising the supply level of a rally point allows it to build extra defenses such as barricades and turrets, making the rally point easier to defend. Each Pact Supply that a player deposits increases the supply level by 1/5 of a tier and each escorted Pact soldier raises it by a full level.

Once the Pact Choppers descend halfway through the night (20:30 left on the timer until daybreak), bosses appear in the canopy, one corresponding to each outpost. Along with defense of rally points, killing all the bosses is critical for progressing the map meta-event to tier 4 as these two event types contribute the most to increasing the night-time security level.

Thus, during the first half of the night, making sure rally points are defended during the Mordrem assaults (and retaking any which have been overrun by Mordrem) should be the main priority, followed by escorting soldiers, running supplies and killing rampaging Mordrem. When the bosses appear, slaying them should be a first priority. To achieve these goals, it is important that players spread out evenly across the map in small groups. To reach tier 4 night, about tier 2.5 needs to be achieved from the defense events and all the bosses need to be slain. Completing any Nighttime event will award the player one stack of {{effect|Pact Supplier}}. This increases experience gained from kills by up to 5%.
;Rally point defense
:''These are the rally point defense events. There are a total of three defense waves, and they occur during the first half of the night at 44:30, 34:30 and 24:30. Each camp has a primary rally point and 3 secondary rally points.
*{{event|Retain control of the rally point}} (x20)
**Failure: {{event|Recapture the rally point from the Mordrem}} (x20)

;Supply events
:''Wreckage of crashed pact choppers periodically appear which produce a large number of Pact Supplies. Pact soldiers appear back to back at set locations to be escorted to rally points. Successfully escorted soldiers upgrade a supply by a fully level; however, if they reach the rally point and it is not under Pact control, the event can quickly fail.

== Map bonus rewards ==
{{map bonus reward}}

== Rewards ==
{{token|ap}} [[Airship Part]]s are the zone's currency, awarded for completing events and opening [[Airship Cargo]]. These can be used to purchase pieces of [[Bladed armor]], recipes needed to craft [[Prefix#Quadruple_attribute|Minstrel]] gear, various [[collection]] [[trophy|trophies]] and more.

{{item icon|Pact Crowbar}}s are awarded for each day-time event completed, and for each tier reached during the night-time meta event. These can be used to open [[Airship Cargo]] chests that are scattered throughout Verdant Brink. Cargo spawns will be indicated by red pings on the minimap.

Night-time rewards revolve around getting the map meta event completion to tier 4. This is done through completion of events and killing area bosses. Upon successfully reaching tier 4 night, the map meta event reward will have a chance of awarding a {{item icon|Bladed Armor Box}}. The chance increases with higher map participation, with it being a guaranteed award with 100% or above map participation.
