Re: Balthasar statue

All the statues of the gods offer various temporary rewards and/or access to UW/FoW. We've not mapped out which Statues offer exactly what yet. An attempt to do so a month ago died out unfortunately. These rewards are only given when your Realm (US/EU/Korea) has the Favor of the Gods though.

Re: Balthasar statue

Ok, But can Fow or Uw be offered if you are with henchmen?

The statue i was is in The Fall. And Fow wasnt an option...

Re: Balthasar statue

I honestly don't know. It has never ocurred to me to take henchies in there. Waste of a perfectly good Platinum piece in my opinion.

Re: Balthasar statue

There's also a Statue of Dwayna on Nebo's Terrace, A Statue of Lissa in Sage Lands, another Statue of Balthazar in Majesty's Rest and a Statue of a Dragon for which I've found no practical use in Salt Flats.

There's more scattered allover the place, but I don't know those, yet.

Re: Balthasar statue

there is one about 1/4 of the way in the drok's run, down a pass on the right, if it wasnt mentioned in any of the above posts... no idea why, and it's he** to get to with all te baddies out there, for those that's ever tried to run to drok's. I see no purpose for an UW entrance in any of these places, tho buying off a DP may be helpful

Re: Balthasar statue

As for the henchies question, I know for a fact (I tried) you cannot get there in ToA with henchies in your party. I can only imagine that it is the same everywhere else.

Then you find the statues of the god in your travels around Tyria, they don't take you to the Underworld or Fissure of Woe. If you have the favor you can give them a donation for one of two conditions.
The first, for 50 gold if I recall correctly, gives your character a +4 health regen. This isn't an anchantment and cannot be removed. It does end when you zone.
The second, for 100 gold if I recall correctly, gives you a +2% morale boost. You can keep buying this one until you have the maximum of +10%.
Both of these blessings have names, I just don't recall what.

UW: Underworld
FoW: Fissure of Woe

Both are high challenge area's that can only be reached when your Realm has Favor of the gods.
In both area's rare items drop including Obsidian Shards (FoW) and Globs of Ectoplasma (UW) which you need to have for the ultimate armour (in terms of cost, not stats) of the game, which you can only get inside FoW.

Re: Balthasar statue

As of right now the statue that was mentioned in the Jungle does NOT bring you to FoW or UW. In Temple of Ages you must talk to the Voice of Grenth, or the Champion of Balthazar to get to the Underworld, or Fissure of Woe, respectively.

There are rumors that you can get to FoW or UW running from Deldrimor War Camp, but I have not seen it myself, or has anyone else verified it to me.

I think that people are probably talking about the shrine/broken down cathedral south of Beacon's. You can get there from War Camp by going through an ice cave in Grenth's Footprint to the west of Sorrow's entrance then going north through Snake Dance, continuing of the normal Beacon's-Rancor route.

And to fully nail it down, if you have henchies in your group at one of these statues and you are given the option to enter the underworld you can't do it. You can click that pay 1K option but it gives you the same message that you get in ToA, "so and so is not ascended and is unworthy... blah, blah, blah" The difference being that you can't just kick a henchman when you're in an instance like you can in a town. So if you have henchies at a shrine in an instance you will not be able to enter the underworld.
