The Story of the Bastion of the Penitent

"A thief. A gambler. A drunk. This is who Saul D’Alessio was. A man who gambled himself into debt and found the best way to relieve that debt to be stealing from others. Eventually caught, Saul was exiled from Kryta. Blindfolded and escorted for three full weeks deep into the wilderness. Saul was left to fend for himself.
...
In the wake of the Bloodstone’s explosion, Scholar Glenna discovered a strange portal that had appeared in Bloodstone Fen. Remembering the group of adventurers who had assisted her in the rescue mission turn full-on assault in the Forsaken Thicket, Glenna called upon them to investigate this mysterious portal. Upon entering through the portal, the group looked at their surroundings. A cavern with lush foliage falling down the cliff faces and a heavy waterfall in the distance. The adventurers were able to discern that they are deep in the Woodland Cascades. An expansive forest that covered much of the land north of Kryta. Nearby, Glenna stood awaiting the adventurers."
The Bastion of the Penitent is the 2nd raid and 4th raid wing introduced into Guild Wars 2, introduced alongside Living World Season 3, Episode 4: The Head of the Snake. With its in Bloodstone Fen via a magical portal or a second entrance located in the Lion's Arch Aerodrome, adventurers are able to assist Scholar Glenna in learning more about this forsaken place. There are many secrets to discover and truths to uncover. Join me, as we explore this twisted place.
The raid bosses included in this video are Cairn the Indomitable, Mursaat Overseer, Samarog, and Deimos.
This raid wing is wing four, commonly referred to as w4.
Honestly, I am very proud of this video. I learned a lot from my Forsaken Thicket story video and directly applied that to this video. Which as a result, made what I believe to be one of the best videos that I have made so far, if not my best. I hope you all enjoy it too! Let me know if you do! If you have any feedback, please let me know! I want to continue improving the quality of my videos so that I can continue making great videos in the future!

Which boss is everyone's favorite boss to fight in this raid wing? My favorite is Deimos! Who may actually be my favorite boss out of all of the raids!

Nice job

[@Azsharah]

Well done! The white mantle arc from gw1 and the raid arc frommthe forsaken ticket and bastion of the penitent are for sure one of the best lore bits from the entire game! I started to play gw1 bc of the mursaat lore and (as crazy as it seems) started raiding just because I love the story! You should do more similar ones from all raid wings bth, very well done! And would kill to see u do this with wow raids as well, vault of the incarnates would make an excellent one!

I recently finished all of the raid wings and have started expanding into other parts of Guild Wars 2's lore!

[@euclxd8033]

This is definitely a must watch for newer players who participate in raids where people speedrun the entire wing. You even added subtitles! Your channel deserves more views.
