The Vanquisher title tracks are granted to a character who clears all explorable areas of foes in hard mode. There is one single-tiered title track for each campaign. Acquiring all of them will complete the Legendary Vanquisher title track. These titles can be displayed in the "Honor" monument.
Vanquisher title track
| Title1 | Campaign | Areas vanquished |
|---|---|---|
| Tyrian Vanquisher | Prophecies | 54 |
| Canthan Vanquisher | Factions | 33 |
| Elonian Vanquisher | Nightfall | 34 |

Acquisition
Vanquisher is a title given for "vanquishing" all explorable areas found in Tyria, Cantha, or Elona. Only areas marked on the World Map with a small helmet (that appears while the hard mode option has been selected in the Party Formation panel) can be vanquished.
Vanquishing an area
To vanquish an area, you must defeat every primary foe that spawns in hard mode, which means you do not have to kill any of the following (and killing them does not add to the kill count unless noted):
- Summoned creatures (such as spirits or minions). Includes summoned animal companions (e.g. Drakes summoned by Charm Drake).
- Passive charmable animals, unless they become hostile (e.g. animal companions that are charmed by foes), which will add to the kill count. A minion master in need of corpses should consider killing them anyway.
- Popups or other types of hidden foes, unless you trigger them, which will add to the kill count.
- Resurrected foes.
You can track your progress via the hard mode indicator icon, which appears in your effects monitor whenever you enter an explorable area in hard mode. In hard mode explorable areas that can be vanquished, the red bar stretches to reflect the fraction of already-spawned total; the number indicates the total killed so far; since the number you must kill is not fixed, the red bar can shrink even as the number killed increases.
Should every member of your party reach 60% Death Penalty before completely vanquishing the area, your party will be defeated and be returned to its originating outpost. In contrast, if you complete a vanquish and then trigger new spawns (e.g. from a quest), those foes are not counted as part of your total; you still get credit at the original number.
Rewards for vanquishing
When an area has been successfully vanquished, a message will appear to notify you of your success. If this is the first time you vanquished that area, your title track progresses and the hard mode map icon for the vanquished area will change from a red color to a gold color.
You will then be rewarded with both experience and gold equal to 5 times the number of foes defeated in the area. In some regions, you will earn additional reputation with the local population:
- Guild Wars Factions: Kurzick or Luxon faction equal to 50 times the number of foes killed are awarded in areas in the Echovald Forest or the Jade Sea respectively, regardless of which nation controls the area at the time.
- Guild Wars Nightfall: Sunspear or Lightbringer points equal to 5 times the number of foes are awarded in areas in Istan/Kourna and Vabbi/the Desolation respectively.
- Guild Wars Eye of the North: reputation rewards are equal to 5 times the number of foes — Norn points are awarded in the Far Shiverpeaks, Vanguard in the Charr Homelands, and Asura on the Tarnished Coast. (There are no vanquishing rewards that progress the Deldrimor rank.)
Specific weekly bonuses can increase these rewards. An area can be vanquished multiple times, allowing you to repeat an area to gain the rewards.
Bug.The hard mode version of the World Map will mark all explorable areas in Tyria as if each is available for vanquishing, even if your character has only started either Prophecies or Eye of the North. The bug also applies to missions and dungeons, but only shows up if your account is linked to both campaigns.Explorable area kill counts
Hidden foes are noted in the rightmost column, but it's worth to check out the specific areas' page for a list of difficult enemies, bugs and other pitfalls.

Larger party sizes
You can increase your party size for vanquishing by starting from an outpost further along in the campaign; this is often called caravan vanquishing. Since you will not be able to enter outposts along the way, plan carefully, e.g. allow for sufficient inventory space and bring Death Penalty removal items.
The following outposts can be used to increase party sizes for the listed areas:
Prophecies
| Outpost | Party size | Vanquishable areas |
|---|---|---|
| Yak's Bend | 6 | all Ascalon areas. |
| Temple of the Ages | 8 | WEST: all western Kryta areas, Maguuma Jungle areas, EAST: all eastern Kryta areas (except Watchtower Coast), Northern Shiverpeaks areas and Ascalon areas. |
| Camp Rankor or Deldrimor War Camp |
8 | Dreadnought's Drift and Lornar's Pass. |
| Mouth of Torment (requires Nightfall) |
8 | all Crystal Desert areas, using the teleporter in Crystal Overlook to enter the Arid Sea. |
Nightfall
| Outpost | Party size | Vanquishable areas |
|---|---|---|
| Beknur Harbor or Blacktide Den |
8 | Zehlon Reach. |
| Dajkah Inlet | 8 | Plains of Jarin.
Dockmaster Dimedeh will teleport the party to Kamadan: |
Post-mission caravans
A party of 8 can also caravan vanquish the Plains of Jarin after completing one of the following missions:
| Mission | Arrival point | Party composition |
|---|---|---|
| Blacktide Den | Sunspear Great Hall | Same as Dajkah Inlet above (players, henchmen available in the hall, and up to three heroes per player). |
| Venta Cemetery | Kamadan | Same as Dajkah Inlet above (players, local henchmen, up to three heroes per player). |
| Abaddon's Gate | Kamadan | Players only (speak to Volatiss in the Throne of Secrets to be transported back to Istan). |
Notes
- Unspawned popup foes do not need to be killed to vanquish the area, but they must be killed once they have spawned. However, if a Wurm has been spawned but it is underground at the time when the last foe has been killed (except for the Wurm), you will have vanquished the area even though the Wurm will pop back up. These foes can greatly impact the amount of kills required.
- Quests often change the type and quantities of enemies in any given area, and can heavily change the number of kills required to vanquish an area.
- Unlike bounties, the Vanquisher kill counter will include all enemy deaths, even those not caused by the player's party. This can happen when multiple groups of foes engage each other.
- "We have vanquished 0 foe[s]!" appears in team chat if you call the Vanquisher kill counter before the area has been vanquished. "We have vanquished every foe in the area!" appears in team chat if you call the Vanquisher kill counter after the area has been vanquished. "We" is used even when your character is the only party member.
Anomalia.There is at least one area in which the kill counter might not properly reflect progress under some narrow conditions. For details, see the Wajjun Bazaar article.Tips
- Remember to bring Lockpicks to open chests along the way.
- Combines well with Cartographer titles, since both require navigating the entire area. Remember to scrape the borders; for example, in Cantha, you will earn 90% of the title simply by scraping while vanquishing.
- Combines well with allegiance titles (Sunspear, Kurzick, Luxon, Lightbringer, Asura, Norn, and Ebon Vanguard) as you can use bounties to collect allegiance points. Avoid unnecessary work by completing the vanquisher titles first; you have a good chance of maxing Sunspear and Lightbringer ranks by the same time that you vanquish the last area in Nightfall.
- In the Jade Sea and Echovald Forest:
- You can accept an opposing allegiance blessing and end up collecting faction that will be wasted. (However, you still receive health bonuses; if both sides have shrines in the area, you can gain both bonuses).
- Attempt to vanquish areas that currently do not have opposing priests (i.e. Kurzick Priests when you have more unspent Luxon faction than Kurzick faction; Luxon Priests when you have more unspent Kurzick faction than Luxon faction), pull foes away from an opposing priest, or kill opposing priests instead of bribing them, since they will heal allies and foes (which can prolong vanquishes) even after you bribe them.
- Death Penalty removal items are very useful, e.g. Powerstones of Courage or Honeycombs.
- Bring Mercantile Summoning Stones on long vanquishing routes so that you can sell off accumulated drops to free up inventory space. You can use another summoning stone instead of a Mercantile Summoning Stone when vanquishing an area with a merchant (e.g. faction merchants in the Jade Sea and Echovald Forest), artisan, and/or weaponsmith.
- Some players prefer beginning with the Canthan Vanquisher title: it has the fewest required areas, some of the smallest areas, and all the areas can be entered directly from an outpost or town. Tyrian Vanquisher has the largest areas, the greatest number of areas, and the highest percentage of areas that cannot be entered directly from an outpost or town (which is also the reason Prophecies has the most areas that can be caravan vanquished).
- Vanquish in sections, to avoid having to return to find a missing patrol or group — choose a small room or area and clear it before moving on. This allows you to move methodically around the area with efficiency and speed.
- If you go clockwise around an area and miss a group, try moving counterclockwise, and vice-versa. Some groups can have long, cyclical patrols, and may be travelling the same way you have been.
Trivia
- Faction or reputation points are awarded for vanquishing since the November 13, 2008 update.
