==Quest information==
===Requirements===
*Has not completed [[Snowball Dominance]] or [[Wintersday Cheer]].

===Objectives===
*Speak with [[Gwen]] in the [[Hall of Monuments]].
*Speak with [[Keiran Thackeray|Lieutenant Thackeray]] in the Ice Cliff Chasms.
*Speak with [[Valgar Tempestcrafter]] in [[Olafstead]].
*Take the family crest pendant to [[Lefsi Spiritchaser]] in [[Varajar Fells]]. Don't take Gwen with you.
*Protect Lefsi Spiritchaser while he imbues the pendant.
*Speak with Lieutenant Thackeray.
*Speak with Gwen.
*See Lieutenant Thackeray for your reward.

===Reward===
*5,000 [[Experience]]
*500 [[Gold]]
*500 [[Ebon Vanguard rank|Vanguard reputation points]]

== Walkthrough ==
''Gwen '''cannot''' be in your party; NPCs will not offer you relevant dialogue and the spirit attackers will not [[spawn]].''

Start the quest by speaking with Lieutenant Thackeray (located in Ice Cliff Chasms, immediately outside of Eye of the North) then visiting the Hall of Monuments to speak with Gwen. Talk to Thackeray again and then head to Olafstead to talk to Valgar Tempestcrafter, who asks you to meet him in Varajar Fells. You can walk from Olafstead, but the easiest route is from the [[Central Transfer Chamber]] through the [[Battledepths]] (unlocked after completing [[Destruction's Depths]]). Regardless of the route, be cautious once you cross the opening into the target area: [[Shock Phantom]]s will [[pop-up]] along the way.

After arriving at the spot, you will need to defend Lefsi against the spirit attackers. There are six waves of enemies, spawning in three groups: to the northwest, west and southwest of the circle of stones. Each new wave spawns immediately after defeating the previous one. The spirits tend to target Lefsi first — since his death causes the quest to fail, bring heals or protection that affect allies, e.g. [[ritualist]] spirits or have at least one party member prioritize keeping him alive. It helps to spread out within the rock circle to avoid AoE damage or interrupts.

Once completed return back to Eye of the North and speak to Lieutenant Thackeray, then back to Gwen and back to Lieutenant Thackeray for the reward.

==Dialogue==
===Initial dialogue===
"After being away from the Eye of the North for so long, it feels good to be home. Things are, for the most part, as we left them. One thing troubles me though...

Gwen secludes herself inside of the Hall of Monuments, continually staring into the scrying pool as if waiting for some response from beyond. It would mean a lot to me if you could spare a moment to check on her and make sure she's doing alright. All that time spent alone isn't healthy."
{{offer dialogue
|accept = I always have time for a friend in need.
|decline = That's just how Gwen is. Now if you'll excuse me, this day will look even more beautiful through beer goggles.
|ask = Have you spoken to Gwen in the Hall of Monuments to see what's wrong?}}

===Intermediate dialogue===
;Gwen
:''"Did you want something (player name)? I was kind of hoping to be alone for a while. Some part of me knows that I should be with the other members of the Vanguard, celebrating our victories over the Charr. But somehow, all that we've won only serves to remind me of everything that I've lost. That's sad, isn't it? That I feel that way? Maybe it doesn't make any sense, but that's how it is. And that's why I need to be by myself right now. I don't want to be a burden to everyone else."''

;Lieutenant Thackeray
:''"I see. I understand how she feels. We need to make her understand that she's not alone; that the Ebon Vanguard is her family as well."''

:''"I have an idea, but it will take some work and a special kind of gift. If you're up to it, take this sketch of Gwen's emblem to Valgar Tempestcrafter. He's a Norn artisan who recently returned to Olafstead. He'll help if you tell him I sent you. We've worked together in the past."''

;Valgar Tempestcrafter
:''"You are a friend of the brave one called Thackeray? That one lived among us for a time. He has a Norn's courage and cunning, even if he has human blood. I am Valgar, shaper of fire-magic pendants, and steel. I see Thackeray requires one of my magical pendants, and wishes this emblem on it? The metalcrafting won't take long. However, to truly fulfill Thackeray's request, you must take the pendant into Varajar Fells where the shaman Lefsi Spiritchaser communes with the land of the dead. He will imbue it with the power of spirits drawn to this symbol. I warn you, human, this task should not be taken lightly.

;Lefsi Spiritchaser
:''"There have been whispers in the other world, and an echo of your footsteps. You walk the path of destiny tonight, human. I will perform the ritual of spirit-finding for you, but you will need to protect me while I commune with the dead. The gates to the spirit realm are weak this time of year, so be wary. There is no telling what might come through while I hold open the door."
''
;During the battle:
:'''Lefsi Spiritchaser:''' ''"Hear me, Raven!"''
:'''Lefsi Spiritchaser:''' ''"We Beseech you, oh spirit of trickery and cunning"''
:'''Lefsi Spiritchaser:''' ''"Send us an emissary from the lands of the dead."''
:'''Lefsi Spiritchaser:''' ''"Imbue this pendant with your spirit to protect its bearer."''

;After the battle:
:'''Lefsi Spiritchaser:''' ''"Welcome, spirit, back to the mortal realm. What connection do you have to the sigil on this Pendant?"''
:'''Sarah:''' ''"This design was for my daughter. I embroidered it on her cloths when she was a child. I can feel that she has been much saddened through hardship and loneliness, and I weep for her."''
:'''Sarah:''' ''"I give a piece of my heart to ensure her happiness and give her strength. Tell her that I have never forgotten her, that I will always love her."''

;Lefsi Spiritchaser
:''"It is done. The spirits have spoken. Return with this pendant, now imbued with the spirit of family."''

;Lieutenant Thackeray
:''"Welcome back! Yes, this pendant will work perfectly. It holds the feeling of true family within the steel now, a love that cannot be severed even by death. Well done <player name>. I think, though...perhaps you should present this gift to her. It may make her uncomfortable to receive something so exquisite from someone whom she hardly knows."''

;In the Hall of Monuments:
:'''Gwen:''' ''"A special gift...? Wait! This...this is my family's crest. What gives you the right to do this?"''
:'''Lieutenant Thackeray:''' ''"Peace, Gwen. There's no need to be upset."''
:'''Gwen:''' ''"Of course there is! The symbol on this pendant..."''
:'''Lieutenant Thackeray:''' ''"Represents both your past and your future. Your memories will always be with you, but you don't have to be trapped in them. Life must go on...and so can you."''
:'''Gwen:''' ''"Why? Why go to so much trouble? I...I didn't ask for this!"''
:'''Lieutenant Thackeray:''' ''"There was no need to ask, Gwen. Everyone deserves a little happiness, even you."''
:'''Gwen:''' ''"A little happiness...? But I..."''
:'''Lieutenant Thackeray:''' ''"The Ebon Vanguard is your family. We may all have different blood and different backgrounds, but we're all in this together."''
:'''Gwen:''' ''"My family? I don't have a... No. You're right. I guess I do. Thank you, Lieutenant Thackeray."''
:'''Lieutenant Thackeray:''' ''"Please, call me Keiran."''

===Reward dialogue===
;Lieutenant Thackeray
:''"She seems so much happier now. That meant a lot to her, and to me. Thank you for the part you played in all this. Consider me your friend and know that I will do everything I can for her, and for you if you need me. Please, take this small token of my gratitude."''

== Notes ==
* While ''A Good Deed.'' is active, you will not be able to complete the following quests that take place in [[Varajar Fells]]:
** [[The Path to Revelations]]: the Facets will not spawn.
** [[Haunted]]: the spirit of [[Tanto the Grim]] will not appear.
*You may need to return to the Hall of Monuments several times to listen to Thackeray and Gwen before the quest will update.
{{Anomaly|This is one of only two quests with an official name that uses a period (''.'') as punctuation.}}
{{Anomaly|If Lefsi dies, the quest spawns will still come, as well as Sarah, who will still say her dialogue, despite the quest failing upon Lefsi's death.}}

== Trivia ==
* This quest was originally called [[Wintersday Cheer]] until it was renamed in the [[Feedback:Game updates/20101118|November 18, 2010 update]], as it is a requirement for the [[War in Kryta]] and to introduce Keiran to the storyline.
** {{anomaly|It remains listed as a [[:category:Festival quests|festival quest]] (rather than a [[:category:Far Shiverpeaks quests|Far Shiverpeaks quest]]), even though it is not linked to any [[event]].<ref>[https://forum.guildwars.com/forum/forums/gamebugs/A-good-deed/3445 Post by Zack Nickerson], Guild Wars Support Forum</ref>}}

Obtain the papers required for the adventurous Jatoro to travel Elona.

==Quest information==
===Requirements===
{{ Standard prerequisites

===Objectives===
* Travel to Kamadan and speak with Clerk Arlon.
* Acquire [[Official Papers|official papers]] to grant Jatoro diplomatic status.
* Relieve the clerk of some of his duties so he can draft Jatoro's diplomatic papers.
* Bring Jatoro the official papers proving he has ambassador status

===Reward===
* 1,500 [[Experience]]
* 125 [[Gold]]

==Walkthrough==
After accepting the quest, travel to Kamadan and speak with [[Clerk Arlon]]; he stands near the exit to [[Consulate Docks]]. He gives you the quest [[One Good Turn Deserves Another]]. Complete that quest and then speak again with Clerk Arlon. Now you have the diplomatic papers for Jatoro. All you now need to do is get your reward from [[Jatoro Musagi]] at [[Kodlonu Hamlet]].

==Dialogue==
===Initial dialogue===
;Jatoro Musagi
:''"Ah, I see you are a Sunspear, «name». I entreat you to speak on my behalf to the Istani government. I am the son of a Canthan nobleman, and have found myself stranded on Istani soil. I wish to travel these lands, but apparently cannot do so without government permission. I beg of you, trusted Sunspear, go to '''Kamadan''' and convince the '''clerk''' to grant the official diplomatic '''papers''' I need. If you do this, I will sing your praises to all I encounter as I travel throughout this lush island paradise!"''

===Intermediate dialogue===
;Clerk Arlon
:''"Diplomatic papers, eh? Tough job. Lots of paperwork. Great deal of red tape. It's no easy task to give someone diplomatic immunity, and as you can see, I'm already swamped with work from the Kournan and Vabbian delegations who arrived today. I tell you what, if you can lighten my duties a bit, I might have time to help your friend."''

===Reward dialogue===
;Jatoro Musagi
:''"Oh wonderful. And so quickly. My friend, I will not ask you what you had to do to get these papers for me. I will only rejoice for having such a trustworthy and honorable friend in this new place. If you have the time, someday, I would love to tell you of the wonders I have seen."''

== Notes ==
* Unlike other quests, the quest item [[Official Papers]] will only be taken once you accept the reward.

[[Annihilator]] is an [[April Fools' Day]] [[quest]] asking you to save [[Sarah]] in the past from a time-traveling golem.

== Quest information ==
=== Objectives ===
* Travel back to the year 1059 AE.
* Make your way to [[Lakeside County: 1059 AE|Lakeside County]] before the [[Annihilator Golem]] kills [[Sarah]].
* Destroy the Annihilator Golem before it kills Sarah.
* See [[Corporal Bane]] for your reward.

=== Reward ===
* 2,029 [[Experience]]
* 1,000 [[Gold]]
* 1,984 [[Vanguard reputation]] points

== Walkthrough ==
You will be under the disguise [[Going Commando]] and separated from your party for the duration of this quest.

Follow the quest marker through to Lakeside County. You can choose to fight or evade any of the groups you find, as they will mainly be fighting each other. If you choose to fight, focus on using AoE damage to take out multiple enemies. One effective strategy is to stand in the middle of a group, use [[Riot Shield]], and then use [[Land Mine]], which will deal upwards of 300 damage to enemies nearby and usually won't be interrupted as you're immune to attacks. If Corporal Bane is killed, he will automatically revive the next time he would say a battle quote.

When you find the Annihilator Golem, it will be standing next to Sarah. Use a [[Stun Grenade]] as soon as you are in range to allow her the time to escape, then destroy the golem. It is difficult to kill, but it will usually focus on attacking Corporal Bane or the [[Ascalonian Warrior]] in the area. The skill [[Damage Assessment]] will shadow step it and remove all conditions, so focus on using your skills ''after'' it shadow steps to ensure the most effective use. You can try to push the Golem towards the barn by the lake to prevent it from shadow stepping as much as possible as the wall seems to prevent it at the right angle. Try to stay in the area where you found it with Sarah, as there are corpses nearby to fuel the skill [["Tango Down!"]], which is the only healing skill you have available. If possible, try to let the Ascalonian Guard that helps you die next to a corpse so that your "Tango Down!" lasts longer. Also, if Corporal Bane is low on health, lead him to these corpse so that when he dies, he can be used to increase "Tango Down!"'s duration. If done properly, you can keep up "Tango Down!" indefinitely until Corporal Bane revives. Set [[Land Mine]]s as often as possible and lure the golem through them. (If you move far enough away from Corporal Bane, approximately beyond earshot, he will follow you, so if the golem is targeting him, move away in the direction of your mine.) The golem is not resistant to knockdown, but only Stun Grenades and [[Bludgeon]] will inflict a [[condition]] for [[Club Strike]] to knock it down. It is possible to build up enough adrenaline for Bludgeon then use Land Mine for knockdown, then follow up with Bludgeon for Deep Wound. This will allow you to use Club Strike as a knockdown and interrupt. When the golem nears death, he will use [["I'll Be Back!" (monster skill)|"I'll Be Back!"]]. When he does, back off for about 15 seconds and use this time to heal with "Tango Down!". If you try to kill him while "I'll Be Back!" is in effect, he will recover 500 health resulting in you having to do more work to bring him down.

If you are having trouble fighting the golem head on, try using a house or the ridge as a shield when low on health. Most of the golem's offensive skills require [[line of sight]], so he will not be able to hit you with most of his attacks. There is a corpse near this house, so you can "Tango Down!" while hiding to recover health. You can run around the house planting Land Mines to knock him down and use grenades for addition damage. If Corporal Bane is alive, you can use the house to redirect some of its attacks by throwing grenades until he starts casting [[Plasma Shot]] and running behind it before it finishes, giving Corporal Bane some free hits.

Alternatively, you can take advantage of Corporal Bane's self-resurrection by using him to hold the Annihilator Golem's attention while the player attacks from afar or plants Land Mines next to it. As long as the player retreats out of the Golem's range when Bane is near death this provides a safe, if tedious, way to complete the quest.

When the Annihilator Golem is defeated, you will be returned to Embark Beach.

; Corporal Bane
:''Let me know when you are ready to travel!''
::{{yes|ingame}} '''Let's do it.''' (sent to [[Regent Valley: 1059 AE]])
::{{no|ingame}} '''Not now.'''

After arrival in Regent Valley: 1059 AE:
:'''Ascalonian Warrior''': ''"What sort of Krytan trickery is this?"''
:'''Krytan Elementalist''': ''"You will not fool us that easily, Ascalonian! We know these strangely dressed soldiers serve you!"''
:'''Ascalonian Warrior''': ''"Your false words will not cause my blade to hesitate. Kill them all, men!"''
:'''Corporal Bane''': ''"We seem to have arrived during a battle of the Guild Wars. We cannot allow this to distract us from our mission. We must make our way to Ashford."''

If you die or resign in the instance:
:''The future refused to change...''

After passing the first group:
:'''Corporal Bane''': ''"Our ammunition didn't make it through the rift. We're going to have to rely on our riot gear and grenades."''

After passing the second group:
:'''<Character name>''': ''"What is going on here? The Guild Wars have been over for almost 10 years. Where are we?"''
:'''Corporal Bane''': ''"It's more a question of when. The year is 1059 AE."''
:'''<Character name>''': ''"That can't be; time travel is impossible! No one has that technology yet, not even the Asura!"''
: '''Corporal Bane''': ''"Not yet. Not for about 250 years."''

Later:
:'''<Character name>''': ''"So you're saying you are from the future, and now we are in the past? What exactly are we doing here?"''
:'''Corporal Bane''': ''"We are here to prevent the Charr from reshaping history. There is a great hero that is yet to be born. The Charr refer to her as "The Goremonger", but you likely know her as Gwen."''
: '''Corporal Bane''': ''"They have sent a powerful Annihilator Golem to kill her mother, Sarah. They hope to prevent Gwen's legacy from ever coming to pass."''
: '''Corporal Bane''': ''"I was sent back to prevent the Annihilator from completing it's{{sic}} mission. There were...complications along the way, and I had to improvise. That's where you come in."''

Near portal to Lakeside County:
:'''Corporal Bane''': ''"We're nearing Lakeside county. Sarah should be in Ashford right now. We need to hurry before the Annihilator reaches her!"''
:'''Corporal Bane''': ''"I hope you've gotten used to your new weapons. You will need them if we hope to defeat the Annihilator."''

Southeast in Regent Valley:
:'''<Character name>''': ''"Wait, if we're back in time, before [[The Searing]], couldn't we just prevent it from happening?"''
:'''Corporal Bane''': ''"Searing Day is inevitable."''

Southwest in Regent Valley:
:'''<Character name>''': ''"What's stopping the Charr from just sending back another, more advanced golem if we beat this one?"''
:''' Corporal Bane''': ''"What? That's dumb. If they had a more advanced one, why wouldn't they just send that golem back to begin with? Or better yet, both at the same time?"''
:'''<Character name>''': ''"Yeah, I guess. But hey, won't all these people we're killing affect the time line too?"''
: '''Corporal Bane''': ''"Don't think too hard about time travel; it will melt your brain."''

[[Lakeside County: 1059 AE]]:
:'''Farmer Hamnet''': ''"What is that metallic beast?"''
:'''Corporal Bane''': ''"Where did you see it? We are here to destroy it!"''
:'''Ascalonian Warrior''': ''"It's heading towards Ashford. I don't know who or what you are, but if you are truly here to destroy that monstrosity, follow me!"''
:'''Annihilator Golem''': ''"SARAH?"''
:'''Sarah''': ''"Yes?"''
:'''Corporal Bane''': ''"There it is, and it has Sarah cornered! Hurry, use your Stun Grenade!"''

After damaging the golem with a Stun Grenade:
:'''Sarah''': ''"How can I ever thank you?"''
:'''Corporal Bane''': ''"You can survive. Now, get out of here! We'll finish this."''

After Annihilator Golem falls:
:'''<Character name>''': ''"You're annihilated!"''
:'''Corporal Bane''': ''"The golem's destruction has opened another time rift. Hurry, it's our only way home!"''
:''The future is what you make!''

: ''"We've done it. The future is now safe, and I can return to my time. Thank you, <Character name>. You make a fine Commando!"''

== Notes ==
[[File:Extra map.png|300px|thumb|right|Southwest reveals bonus cartographer points via [[Texmod|Cartography Made Easy]].]]

* This quest is offered by the "Lvl 20 Corporal Bane" (to the east); the "W20 Corporal Bane" offers the [[Annihilator 2: Searing Day|sequel]].
* Even though it is possible to enable [[Hard Mode]] in [[Embark Beach]], it is disabled upon entering the areas for this quest.
* You can maximize your [[Ebon Vanguard rank|Ebon Vanguard title track]] by completing this quest 81 times.
** This also allows characters without [[Eye of the North]] to earn this title.
** To speed up reputation-point [[farm]]ing, make use of [[speed boost]]s (e.g. [[Birthday Cupcake]]s or [[Rock Candy]]).
* You can gain slightly less than 0.1% towards the [[cartographer|Tyrian Cartographer title]] by scraping the southeastern and southwestern corners of what will become unreachable areas of [[Regent Valley]].
** If you go Northeast towards the [[devourer cave]] in Lakeside County instead of Northwest with the Ascalonian soldier, you'll be able to explore a completely empty map.
* At over 100 experience per kill and with the quest reward, this repeatable quest is an easy way to level up a low-level character.

{{bug|The [[Quest Log]] says the quest is given in [[Lion's Arch]], instead of Embark Beach.}}
{{anomaly|If you die and Corporal Bane kills the Annihilator Golem before you are automatically returned to Embark Beach, the quest is completed and the reward can be collected.}}
{{anomaly|If the Annihilator Golem [[drop]]s an item and you do not pick it up before you are automatically returned to Embark Beach, the [[Unclaimed Items]] will not appear.}}

== Trivia ==
* This quest was introduced during [[April Fools' Day 2011]] and included as part of the [[Feedback:Game_updates/20110401|April 1st, 2011 update]].
* [[gw2:Unknown (NPC)|The rest of Corporal Bane's squad]] was thrown off course all the way to Jahai over 250 years later, presumably because of Kralkatorrik's actions in The Mists.
* The quest name, experience and Vanguard reputation points reward amounts, dialogue, and NPCs are all references to the movie [[w:The Terminator|The Terminator]]. 1984 is the year the Terminator arrives, while 2029 is the year from which the Terminator originates.
* The counter when returning to the outpost displays ''"Returning to the future in: <seconds>"'', which is likely a nod to [[w:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]].
* After beating the Golem, the message ''"Your future is what you make"'' appears; when failed, the message ''"The future refused to change..."'' appears.
** ''"Your future is whatever you make it"'' is what Doc Brown says in [[w:Back to the Future Part III|Back to the Future Part III]]
** ''"The future refused to change"'' is a reference to [[w:Chrono Trigger|Chrono Trigger]] when the main character dies in key points of the story.
