Guild Wars 2: The Story of Elder Dragons - How It All Began... (Soo-Won/Aurene Dialogue) 

I followed my heart, and everything was so spontaneous, it all just felt right for me. I'm glad to see I didn't fail to capture what the writers at Arenanet shared with us

I have seen her final scene a dozen times by now, and it is just so damn powerful. We've lost good characters before, but never a character that made you feel like they took all the goodness with them. I mean seriously. We were getting together in Arborstone afterwards to celebrate our victory, the credits are rolling... and the music in the credits says it all. "Can we go on without you?" Kralkatorrik's death was sad, but you could celebrate the win and look forward to what was next. Soo-Won's death just leaves you feeling... hollowed out. The victory is there, but it almost doesn't feel worth anything. Yay! We won! World saved! But... for who? What's the point of saving a world without her in it? IS there even a world without her? The fact that they can do this to you with a character you just met that season and have no history with is truly astonishing. Brava, ArenaNet! I am very interested to see where you take us from here. I love this game more now than ever before, but good grief do you make it hard to go back to doing events and grinding legendaries after that beautiful anihilation you just subjected my heart to.

ugh im crying again

This was awesome

You left out Primodus 😂

@@MangaMel Primordus can cause great wars and torment but shown bravery and courage

And primordus showed us they can be corrupted remember out of all the dragons he really was the largest yet he really stated dormant

🥺🥰

She wasn't an Elder Dragon, she was not born yet

Thanks for watching 💓🥺😭

evrey time I see a mentor tag in the mini map I think of our apple-loving comrade. Of all the order's mentors he was my first and my favourite.

No, because Aurene is the Prismatic Dragon, which means she does not need to fracture herself. Soo-Won was not a Prismatic Dragon, she was a Water attuned being and then she formed other beings we know as Elder Dragons out of chaotic elements of nature. Aurene will be the only Dragon now, and all she has to do is let the cycle go on. Until someday something else causes the Void to appear, but Aurene will not make the same thing Soo-Won did, because she physically cannot. Aurene's children are Mortals.

except it is also the biggest spoiler of the entire 10 years of built up story... but I get where you're coming from. Personally I prefer my trailers to have teazers not spoilers

Thanks 🥺 the track is called Shadow in the Ice by Brendon Williams

@@michram Ooh, thanks! Sorry for offtopic but didn't expect that to be an IBS piece. Some sort of trailer music or something?

@@eldrevo Well, yes, but also it was re-arranged as "Eagle Flight" - which is one of my favourite tracks ever. Can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iW1bI2cPBcg.html

The dialogue between Aurene and Soo-Won takes place just after the Dragon's End meta event - big red arrows on the map will lead you to this place 😊

@@michram Ohhh nice! I've only ever managed to complete the meta once, and had to leave very quickly after. Thank you!

Whatever it is i hope its something completely fresh and doesnt rely on already-told stuff too much (Gods, Dragons, Political Stuff).

At the end of dragon's end meta, you can visit aurene and soo won in mother's lament to listen to all these. There are 5 conversations, but only once per 5 minutes, which means you need 2- 3 runs to complete all. Listening to all grants an achievement 6:50 is the end scene of the story's final chapter However, the author here added various cutscenes from teasers, living world 4 and icebrood saga to give the story more life :)

@@SingaporeLyfe Thank you!

😭😭😭

Hey, yeah I do 😁 How do you want me to send it?

@@michram oh thank you so much ^^ is there a way to contact you with email? :) dont think it is wise if I just put mine here xD

@@michram perhaps a wetransfer link would be an option? :)

@@AngelOfDaydreams Ohh yes... my email is michram142@gmail.com, just send me a email with "hi" and will send the file to you :3

@@michram do you still have copies of those conversation sound files?

The whole arrangement of videos and music is put together by me, but few footages in the end are from End of Dragons.

My understanding is... We know there's another world. There is Tyria and the Mists that are tied together and were created by Soo-Won, but humanity came from somewhere else, a world beyond the Mists. Maybe they work like parallel worlds, each world has a creator, but the histories are much different and lands developed differently. What ties the worlds together are the natural elements of the nature. That's why the beings such as the Gods share a piece of creation. But the parallel world's magic isn't exactly the same and while on Tyria Soo-Won decided to give each of her children something to handle to create a counterbalance to the Void, she turned them into mindless beings. In the parallel world it seems to be that Gods were meant to be highly aware and could work together. They colonialized the Mists, and tried to colonialize Tyria with humans, yet they quickly found out that their magics are different from the Dragons' and over time they preferred to first stay in the Mists, but when Balthazar went rogue, they returned to "a new garden", which may mean that their world is perhaps at the beginning of renewal. I would speculate that the Gods left their world with their favorite race, because the Void won at some point, and now they may be trying to restore it back to order.

@@michram wow thank you so much, you were right, since Abaddon’s magic at the first place corrupted the whole magic in tyria. One mystery still remains, the six gods capable to kill the elder dragons, but they said, they will end up to destroy both tyria and mist. Why they didn’t bring back all the human to the original world?. What’s really happened to the original world at the first place, that they try to involve themselves with others world? And somehow the gods, human and dragons kinda capable to absorb or steal each others magic 🤔.

Dragons and Gods didn't have any relations. We still know almost nothing about the gods. They came from an other world, they bring humans from an other world too (maybe from their world). they provided Blood Stone magic to humans. And they learned of the existence of the ancestral dragons who slept (they arrived after the last awakening of the dragons). But they didn't worry about it at that time. It's when Abaddon got rogue and he was killed that things got bad. Upon dying some of his magic was absorbed by Kormir. But the other part is found loose in nature and it is this surplus which triggered the beginning of a new cycle of awakening of the Dragons (especially since Abaddon coming from another world his magic is "too much "in this world). the gods have calculated their chances of defeating the dragons and have arrived at three possibilities: 1 the dragons hunt them (because the gods are the greatest source of magic in the world) and kill them. 2 the dragons hunt them, but it is the gods who kill them. 3 the gods start from the world and therefore there is no conflict between them. first option: the gods are dead (so they are not too hot just for that) and the dragons become worse (since having absorbed magic not native to this world) and the world will be radically transformed into something else. Second option: the dragons dead, Tyria is destroyed. So the gods at best manage to leave, at worst die. and third option, the gods are gone and Tyria undergoes a new cycle of the Dragons which is only temporary (and that the species can cross). And with luck, the new species will find something against the dragons. (what happened). So the best choice was the third. except for the God of War who wanted to fight because it's in his nature. the other gods therefore had to imprison him in the mists. But so now that the Dragons are dead and have been replaced by a lasting and peaceful solution. The gods are likely to return. and otherwise you forgot to mention other gods that we meet: Dhuum. The ancient god of Death.

​@@michramSoo Won didn't create the mists. Humanity came from another world IN the mists

I wholeheartedly agree with you, but it's the Western story, you can't really expect it to be anything original, the storytelling of EoD was amazing, rarely to see a coherent story in a game. But don't expect something genius out of it. I rather want to watch cdramas for a good story and storytelling. I also agree with Li story involvement, the whole political thing was really mediocre, but probably because the Saga was all about politics, so probably they didn't want to make another interesting arc about it, just basically created this character to be a villain. I honestly really enjoy the voice acting of Soo-Won, but I have known she is a mother ever since War Eternal, when we hear Kralk saying "Mother", it wasn't a last minute decision, they already planned it. Think about it more, if you want, perhaps you will understand why Soo-Won is the Mother. But I am 100% with you on this, thank you for this comment 😁
