Guild Wars 2 – Help Lionguard Cern Safeguard the Road

“Repair signs, Light torches, and keep the road free of dangers. Destroy skull monuments, poison troll food, and drive the trolls away.”

Cern, the contact for this quest is found along the road to the North of the Lionguard Outpost in the Wychmire Swamp.

Lionguard Cern: Stay vigilant if you're traveling through Wychmire Swamp. The Lionguard tries to keep the route through safe, but this stretch is still dangerous. We don't have enough patrols to keep the trolls at bay.
Hero A) Any news? B) Anything I can do to help?
Cern A) A caravan came through not too long ago, headed northwest. Merchants don't often take this route; it's too risky. Could you keep an eye on them?
Cern B) The most important thing is to clear out any trolls you find. Just make sure your head doesn't end up on their trophy spikes. There are other pests around the road but the trolls are the worst
Hero C) Got it. Anything else?
Cern C) We mark troll territory with signs, but trolls are smarter than they look. We can barely keep torches lit around here. We'd welcome any help you can five. Poison their food, kill them off, whatever you can do.

With the instructions laid out it is time to start working on the quest itself. The easiest things to find will be the torches. They are just off from the road so just head over to one and repair it. Another thing you might notice are the Warning Sings and the Troll food. The Warning Signs just need to be repaired and there is minimal to no risk in doing so. The Troll Food usually takes the form of a deer carcass. Just poison it and you are done. There is a chance that doing so will cause 2 trolls to come after you.

The rest is really moving around and attracting the attention of trolls. These are hardy foes that are harder to take down the more there are.

For you efforts you will receive a letter titled “Heartfelt Thanks and Good Luck” with 94 copper attached:
“I've been getting fewer reports of trouble in the swamp recently, and I suspect you're responsible. It's still dangerous here, but I'm grateful for all your help. You've saved a lot of grief for a lot of people. Good luck! - Lionguard Cern”
