The Living Story of Guild Wars 2 is the major highlight of NCSoft’s online role-playing game. Especially Season 1, where the legendary thief Scarlet Briar kept players on their toes, is still remembered by many fans. Some players have compiled the events of Season 1 and the battle against Scarlet into a fan film over two hours long.
Newcomers to Guild Wars 2 may struggle to keep up with the living story. While the events of past seasons are now repeatable, there are often long and tedious grind segments between the cool highlights. Therefore, some players have summarized the most significant events of Season 1 of the Living Story in a fan film lasting 2:40 hours!
Reunion with Scarlet
Especially the first season of the story was outstanding as the high mistress Scarlet Briar was a wonderfully crazy final boss. The insane Sylvari inventor was somewhat reminiscent of the Joker from Batman, and players both hated and loved her equally.
Unlike the boring, characterless dragon Elder Dragons that usually appear as main villains in Guild Wars 2, the humanoid Scarlet was much more tangible and cooler. Therefore, the fan film is worth watching just for Scarlet’s wicked shenanigans. The film is embedded here for you; enjoy watching.
Jürgen says: I remember well the first season of the Guild Wars story. It felt like an eternity before Scarlet even showed up for the first time, and each time I eagerly awaited further updates, wondering, “What kind of villainy does this insane Scarlet have planned next?” When she was ultimately confronted at the end of the season in the spectacular battle for Lion’s Arch, Guild Wars 2 was never the same again, as the vegetable dragon Mordremoth and his dragon companions could never hold a candle to her.
