Demeter (Δημήτηρ) was the goddess of the harvest, fertility, agriculture, nourishment, growth, nature and the seasons in Greek mythology. Endowed with the power to bring feast and famine to the world, she was said to have the ability to control the seasons and transform the face of nature. In fact her powers were able to influence Zeus (king of the gods) into making Hades (god of the dead) bring her daughter Persephone up from the underworld. She had been playing with some Nymphs, whom Demeter later changed into the Sirens as punishment for not having interfered, and the ground split and she was kidnapped by Hades. Life came to a standstill as the depressed Demeter searched for her lost daughter with the aid of Hecate (goddess of magic). Finally, Zeus could not put up with the dying earth and forced Hades to return Persephone by sending Hermes (messenger of the gods) to retrieve her. But before she was released, Hades tricked her into eating six pomegranate seeds, which forced her to return for six months each year. When Demeter and her daughter were together, the earth flourished with vegetation. But for six months each year, when Persephone returned to the underworld, the earth once again became a barren realm. (Marchesa Spring 2020 Ready-to-Wear Collection)

GW2 advice to do a clean 250 HP run!

First of all the pics are from Game-Maps! So all credits to them, I tried to keep the logo in every pic but The Desolation is really huge sorry.

Click on the images for a better quality.

This is the path I use with every lvl 80 character I have when I want an elite spec! I know it by heart now and here’s some tricks!

Crystal Oasis:

3 be sure to clean elite sand shark, hydra and sand lions around before clicking on the Djinn!

5 you can either do on foot or on mount (skyscale is easiest, griffon and springer work well too)

Desert Highlands:

2 is the ogre that pushes you off the platform, put your character on the broken planks to avoid that! You can always glide and mount again if you are ejected tho.

3 to 4 you can enter from the other side of the cave, cling to the wall!

7 you can just WP and go do it then WP back again to leave.

Elon Riverlands:

2 be sure to clean the elites hydra and devourer if they’re here!

4 is best if you can fight distance, if not, block and dodge a lot.

5 is fun to do alone, clean around and do the 3 small sand lions before the elite.

Use your skimmer to go to 6, it doesn’t require any fight (or maybe one or two eels but they die easily)

7 and 8 require a bit of skill, don’t stand in the fire!

The Desolation:

1 you focus the 3 small harpies before the elite.

Use your skimmer to go to 2, then a mount to get in the middle, kill patrol and get your point then leave on a mount (if you have Bond of Life and Bond of Vigor use them so you won’t get dismounted)

Use the jackal temple to access 4 easily from gliding/griffon aerial finesse, you can also go on foot tho.

If you need more informations don’t hesitate to ask me! I hope it can help. Once again, Game-Maps is the website I checked when I needed a map completion!
