[[Jennur's Horde]] is a mission which represents a branch in the [[Guild Wars Nightfall|Nightfall]] storyline. Either this mission or [[Nundu Bay]] needs to be completed to progress the storyline.

==Mission information==

===Requirements===
* All party members must have accepted the reward for [[Heart or Mind: Garden in Danger]].
* [[Koss]] must be present in the party.

Defeat the [[Harbinger of Nightfall]] before it summons enough demons to destroy Seborhin.
*Protect the [[Spirit of Seborhin|Spirits of Seborhin]] from the onslaught of torment demons.
*The [[Light of Seborhin (bundle)|Light of Seborhin]] is the only thing that can harm the [[Harbinger]]s. Drop the Light of Seborhin when you are close enough to an enemy to release its energy.
*[[Horticulturist Hinon]] must survive.
* *[[Bonus]]* Defeat the additional Harbingers.
* You have defeated [0...2] of 2 additional Harbingers.

==Walkthrough==
The goal of this mission is to stop the corruption of the entire Garden by defeating the [[Harbinger of Nightfall]].

There are regular [[Harbinger]]s and also two types of Margonite groups; stationary groups and groups that spawn every two minutes and [[patrol]] towards [[Horticulturist Hinon]] - who must survive. The patrol will either go north or south around the large trench in the floor, but they always start in the same place. Any character with a [[IMS|speed boost]] should be able to lure the patrol back to the party before they run to Hinon.

At the start, Horticulturist Hinon will create a [[Light of Seborhin (bundle)]] which is the only tool that can harm the Harbingers and the final boss, the Harbinger of Nightfall. Dropping a Light of Seborhin beside a Harbinger will kill it (granting a morale boost) - and then the Harbinger will be replaced by a [[Spirit of Seborhin]], which will [[Create Light of Seborhin|create]] another Light of Seborhin. Try and keep these Spirits alive since they shorten the distance the player has to run to fetch a Light of Seborhin. (Note that although the Lights of Seborhin are destroyed when they kill a Harbinger, if they are dropped in the wrong place they can be picked up again.)

The easiest tactic to avoid the threat of being overwhelmed by the patrol is to alternate between killing a stationary group and a patrol group of Margonites.

To make things easier for you, only eliminate the Harbinger located at the top of the stairs, so the groups of Margonites that appear every two minutes will be limited to 4 members. To do this, quickly tag your group where this Harbinger is located, and thus avoid the two located in your path.

Repeat this same pattern (i.e. Patrol → Stationary → Patrol → Stationary, etc.) until you reach the Harbinger of Nightfall. This end boss will only die after three Lights of Seborhin have been dropped on it. Either have the three needed ready somewhere nearby before engaging, or have three players carry each of them.

=== Bonus ===
The bonus consists of killing the two additional Harbingers ''and'' their Margonite company located at the top of the north and south stairs. Ideally, lure some of the foes down the stairs towards where the patrol will cross - so that you can catch the patrol before they escape your party - walking next to the edge of the staircase and then away, is usually enough to pull the Margonites down the stairs. Note that killing only the Harbinger is not enough, and you must kill the entire group of Margonites near the Harbinger to get credit.

=== Skill recommendations ===
* [[List of Lightbringer skills|Lightbringer skills]] and [[Lightbringer]] title active.
* A [[speed boost]] to intercept the patrols and transport Lights of Seborhin.
* A [[minion master]] to provide a [[meat shield]] and prevent [[Margonite Warlock]]s creating wells.
* Martial professions should focus on bursting down [[Margonite Cleric]]s who use [[Spell Breaker]].
* Abilities that [[blind]] such as [[Blinding Surge]] and or [[Ineptitude]] can be helpful against the melee [[Margonite Reaper]]s and [[Margonite Executioner|Executioner]]s.
* [[Interrupt]]s are important to bring, not just for [[Margonite Cleric]]s, [[Margonite Sorcerer|Sorcerer]]s and [[Margonite Warlock|Warlock]]s, but also to interrupt the [[Margonite]] monster skill [[Abaddon's Chosen]] which will lengthen a fight drastically.
* Martial professions should bring [[unblockable]] skills or [[Asuran Scan]] as [[Margonite Cleric]]s use [[Aegis]].

==Dialogue==
===[[Heart or Mind: Garden in Danger (cinematic)|Opening cinematic]]===
:'''The Horticulturist''': ''"All is lost! We are doomed, I tell you, doomed!"''
:'''Koss''': ''"We're here to help, old man!"''
:'''Melonni''': ''"This place is lost, I fear. We should worry about Ronjok."''
:'''The Horticulturist''': ''"There is no help! There is no hope!"''
:'''The Horticulturist''': ''"The world is ending! Nightfall is at hand!"''
:'''Koss''': ''"Is everything lost, then?"''
:'''The Horticulturist''': ''"No, but the corruption is spreading! Soon it will engulf everything!"''
:'''<Party leader>''': ''"Not if we can stop it."''

===Initial dialogue===
:'''Horticulturist Hinon''': ''"Normal attacks are useless against the Harbingers. We must rely on the power of the Light of Seborhin."''
:'''Horticulturist Hinon''': ''"Defend the Seborhin Spirits from those wretched demons! The Spirits can gather the Light of Seborhin into a form we can use to defeat the Harbingers!"''

===[[Jennur's Horde (cinematic)|End cinematic]]===
:'''Koss:''' ''"So much of the garden has been corrupted..."''
:'''<Party leader>:''' ''"More would have been lost had we not been here."''
:'''Koss:''' ''"How is Melonni?"''
:'''<Party leader>:''' ''"Better. The visions seem to have passed."''
:'''Koss:''' ''"We had to come here. It was a real threat. You have to think things through to realize what's important."''
:'''<Party leader>:''' ''"I understand. And I think Melonni understands as well."''
:'''Koss:''' ''"Melonni. She's just so...frustrating!"''
:'''<Party leader>:''' ''"Agreed. But sometimes you have to think things through to realize what's important. Or who's important."''
:'''Koss:''' ''"I suppose you're right. You think we should talk, her and I?"''
:'''<Party leader>:''' ''"Yes. And you will, when the time is right."''
:'''Koss:''' ''"For my sake, I hope that time is soon."''

::''Meanwhile...''
::''(The Desolation)''
:'''Margonite Reaper:''' ''"Mistress. Is something wrong?"''
:'''Prophet Varesh:''' ''"The Ruptures. They have stopped."''
:'''Margonite Reaper:''' ''"It matters not. When you free our lord, the Torment will wash over the world, transforming it."''
:'''Prophet Varesh:''' ''"You are right. I can feel Abaddon's presence, like a weight in my mind. It is nearly overwhelming."''
:'''Margonite Reaper:''' ''"Abaddon depends on you. Would you hesitate now?"''
:'''Prophet Varesh:''' ''"No. No. Abaddon's will be done."''
:'''Margonite Reaper:''' ''"It is, Mistress. And your reward is coming, when you loosen the last barriers. Hail Abaddon!"''
:'''Prophet Varesh:''' ''"Yes. Hail Abaddon!"''

==Notes==
===Patrol group composition===
The types of Margonites found in the patrol group depends on how many Harbingers have been killed. However, the composition of the teams does not affect the above strategy.

*The Margonite patrols do not [[drop]] loot or give [[experience]], possibly to prevent farming exploitation.
{{bug|On rare occasion, killing both additional Harbingers and their support groups will not progress the bonus objective ({{quote|You have defeated [0 or 1] of 2 additional Harbingers.}}). Players will have to restart the mission to get master's reward. (Let the Bonus Harbingers hit you before you drop the Light and kill them, the bug seems to trigger when they get killed before they have the chance to land a single blow.)}}
*After completing this mission, your party will be taken to [[The Kodash Bazaar]].
*Completion of this mission will fill in page #11 in the [[Night Falls]] [[storybook]].
