Soo-Won Mets is the most annoying thing that I have experienced in the game so far.

Did it twice now. It sucks. Just my opinion. Most times I couldn’t even figure out where to go.

I really like it tbh. Yes it’s long and complicated but I’d rather have this than another dps golem.

As where to go, here is a rundown on what happens:

Choose one of the three lanes: East, West or Center(pretty short one) When every lane finished, a few small bosses spawn around the center in the jade sea.

Go to the temple entrance north of the tower. Collect the magic kill the boss(pretty quick event)

Kill mobs and throw the orbs in direction of the pillars in the middle. 5 pillars, 5 locations to get matching orbs. Don’t carry the orbs, throw it as far as you can. Players usually set up a “bucket chain”.

Endboss time: take the zipline to the tower top. Don’t stand in orange AoE circles. Bash the dragon! There are four types of phases: Bashing, Crystals, Circle and Split. Bashing: hit the dragon, dodge orange AoE. If she is not attackable anymore (half platform aoe), move to the opposite side. Crystals: one player in each green circle. Those get thrown down as whisps. Jump up to the platform again and hit 3. Orbs floating around recharge your jumps. On the platform kill mobs, hide behind crystals when the waves come. Circle: kill mobs, collect energy. When your spear is charged target the dragon an spam special action key. Split: split equally to each platform around the center. Kill the bosses, they need to die at the same time.

That’s basically a full guide. If you die respawn at the air ship and rejoin immediately. Hope it helps for your next try :)

It took me many many runs to get the hang of the meta. It’s a reasonably chaotic meta anyway.

The final battle is dubious too: if the RNG slaps Soo-Won’s tail one too many times the whole thing times out and fails.

At least I don’t have to listen to Aurene anymore.

For a smooth run this meta requires an ok commander and good PUGs, to ensure both, join a couple GW2 discord servers like Hardstuck, where they frequently announce the runs with good comms.

Go to the map early and do random events all across the map, at least 5 of them, so you’ll be able to open more chests at the very end. Events give decent loot and writs too.

I also recommend watching a Youtube guide for this meta, because it has a couple of particular phases, where you just need to know what to do, much like the Octovine.

So, with some effort it really can go from annoying mess to engaging and rewarding experience.
