Prepare to embark on a thrilling adventure in Guild Wars 2's upcoming living story chapter, What Lies Within. The update arrives on May 23rd in line with ArenaNet's new quarterly update cadence, and will be the second of two free updates for the End of Dragons expansion.

In What Lies Within, players will dive into the treacherous depths of Gyala Delve, armed with the support of the formidable Jade Brotherhood and powerful weaponry. Their ultimate mission? Defeat the Ravenous Wanderer that first appeared in February's update.

“After investigating troubling rumors surrounding a Jade Brotherhood mining operation, the commander and allies uncover the source of the mine’s bizarre happenings,” teased ArenaNet. “A wayward demon, found within the depths of the mine, is using its malevolent influence to torment its victims through manipulation of their most vulnerable memories. Armed with the knowledge of this discovery, and an invention designed to harness emotional energy, the commander and allies must face their literal and figurative demons to heal what lies within.”

Aside from marking the end of the Ravenous Wanderer storyline, the update will also introduce a plethora of new activities across the breathtaking landscapes of Cantha. Engage in heart-pounding Adventures, such as the adrenaline-fueled Jade Bot drone mode collection challenges, hone your skills with siege turtle target practice, or participate in thrilling skiff races. But beware, as the dreaded oni pose a constant threat, hunting down players throughout Cantha, adding an extra layer of intensity to the gameplay experience.

With What Lies Within, Guild Wars 2 continues to captivate its audience with an immersive world, gripping narratives, and exhilarating challenges. Get ready to uncover the secrets hidden beneath the surface and emerge as the hero Cantha desperately needs.
