Guild Wars 2 – Help the Wardens in Wychmire Swamp

“Destroy Corrupted Plants, Husks and Thorns; Fight the Nightmare Court and their minions; and free prisoners.”

Head North from Falias Thorp. There you will find Laewyn who is the emissary for this quest.

Laewyn: This is a dangerous place. Hyleck douth south, husks and Nightmare Court up north, and the dangers of the swamp itself fill in the gaps.
Hero: A) How can I help? B) What can you tell me about the Warden's camp to the southwest?
Laewyn A) Drop any Nightmare Courtiers you see. Their camp is to the north, Banshee's Keen, wold be a good place to start. It's heavily defended, and they keep prisoners there. A good raid might teach them some manners.
Hero C) Any other tasks I can help with?
Laewyn B) Falias Thorp was once a Soundless Settlement. The Nightmare Court put an end to that. Now we're just a warden outpost, and I'm not sure how much longer they'll be staying, to be honest.
Laewyn C) We've seen summoned husks to the North. Wherever they come from, they're not friendly. I suspect it's the Nightmare Court, though I can't prove anything. Getting rid of them would help, though.

Head away from her and look into the Swamp to the North and to the West. You will find numerous mushrooms that have been corrupted. Approach them and crush them to gain credit for your work. If you notice an odd group then though are some corrupted thorns. Simply interact with them to tear them out.

Also to the West you will find the Summoned Husks. These can be dangerous in a large enough group but are otherwise fairly easy to deal with. It remains best to take them on one at a time if only to avoid getting mobbed.

After that it is time to head to the North toward Twilight Arbor and Banshee's Keen. There you will find them overwhelmed by Nightmare Courtiers. There is hardly a lack of them. Expect this part to be the easiest to gain progress but it does have the most enemies so it is also the hardest way at times if you get mobbed.

For your efforts you will receive the letter “Thanks!” with 90 copper:

“The Nightmare Court would have taken over the whole swamp, if not for your actions. Safe travels, friend. - Laewyn”

Laewyn will now offer the following Karma Items:
