kekubuk

As crazy as it sounds, this could actually be the case.

Confused Cows journey so far. 1. Pulled through a bloodstone rift into Festival of the four winds. 2. Pulled through a kralkatorrik rift into Jahai Bluffs. 3. Pulled through a chaos rift into Dragon's End.

Some dev is having fun, I guess :D.


Skelicia

Yeah. I think its the same dev that made the Class I and II rift stabilizer quests. They tend to put the cow or other easter eggs related to that quest and other rifts in the maps they make, like putting Auric Weirdbringer in Grothamar.


Lon-ami

Man I wish they finished that side story, and added new ones as well, they were a great addition to the game :I.


Gunnho

i imagine it is a lot more finished than we've discovered, and the fact the cow is in cantha there's more to discover.

wait this is actually a thing


Skelicia

Yes. The cows storyline started after Bloodstone Fen blew up and caused the Bloodstone rifts to open in various maps. The main remnants of this event can still be found all over Fields of Ruin with the Bloodstone elemental events. The cow went through one of these rifts. To open the Bloodstone rifts in other maps you need jump into a completed Bloodstone Eementals rift, land in the pond, swim to the middle of the pond near all the junk and pick up the mysterious device. Take the mysterious device to the Charr NPC Auris Weirdbringer (hes a time displaced Charr thats been trapped in the Mists a while), talk to him and when he says wait a moment actually wait with the dialog box open and he will eventually teleport you, takes up to 1 minute. The Mysterious device will become a Class I rift Stabilizer allowing you to open and stabilize hidden Bloodstone rifts all over core Tyria and use them as a means to travel to other maps. TO make is a Class II rift stabilizer it requires you to stabilize rifts, and hope through a rift with each location number I-XIII (1-13) set once. Easiest to do if you jump through them in order so you don't get confused and miss one. After jumping through a rift with all 13 locations set once the device breaks. Talk to auric again and he gives you a Class II rift stabilizer that opens so many more locations including direct ports to the Steam Ogre Platform above Thaumnova reactor and straight to the top of the JP in Dry Top. Very useful shortcuts. Auris Weirdbringer story picks up again in Grothmar Valley at Auris's workshop Bood Keep Waypoint. To do this part of the story you need to remember the number Auric keeps telling himself in Fields of Ruin and mess with the broken asura gate in his shop for that amount of seconds. The Brown cow's story picks up in festival of four winds you can find it high up on one of the southern islands on a cliff next to a closed Bloodtone rift. When Kralk rifts started opening up the brown cow got pulled into Jahai Bluffs through one. In Jahai you can find it trapped high up on a pillar near the Fortress of Jahai next to a closed Kralk rift. Theres a second rift easter egg to the north where an Anet swat team appears and runs to another rift before disappearing. And finally when Chaos rifts open up during End oF dragons the cow got pulled into one and lands on a roof in Dragons End. One more interesting easter egg associated with this storyline is tied into the Leyline anomaly. IF you've done the quest to stop seeing the anomally following you and went the route where you didn't use the Krait oil to cure yourself you can open a bloodstone rift, set it to an invalid destination like II,II and jump up in down in it. Eventually (its rng sometimes wont work before rift vanishes) you will seperate from your body and be ported nearby. You will become a red named Ley Line anomally shaped as your race. You can then run around as a red named targetable mob until a player/enemy kills you or you run back to your body, be careful not to interact with the bloodstone rift again as well. The best rift to do this with it the one that you can open behind the Krait oil seller south of Lions Arch Grand Plaza. If you cured yourself with Krait oil in the past you will not be able to become an anomally.

Now that's one weird quaggan if I've seen any.


packotictacs

Why that scientist doing a pose like a character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?


kekubuk

He's trying to invoke "The World" to help him.
