[edit] Attributes and Skills

Warrior / Monk	Attribute Rank
Strength	11 + 2 + 1
Swordsmanship	10 + 2
Healing Prayers	10

[edit] Equipment

Any max Sword with Sword Pommel Of Enchanting and a strength requirement shield with Enchanted mods. A bow. If you are using full Sentinal's Armor you can make do with almost any max sword and strength req shield. Victo's Blade has been proven to work effectively against Ghial, but not against any mobs, so if you have Victo's Blade, equip it, but do not use it until you face Ghial.

[edit] Usage

Where Ghial is (click to enlarge)

Dolyak Signet, Healing Hands and Flail should be kept up as often as possible.
Charge adrenaline through attacks in Flail, and use Sever Artery followed by Gash.
Use Final Thrust when enemy is below 50% Health (only exception is Ghial, where it should be spammed as often as possible).

[edit] Getting to Ghial

TIP* If your region has favor, /kneel by the shrine outside Senji's Corner to buy some nice benefits like 3 life steal.
Upon leaving Senji's Corner, cast Mending on yourself. Sprint to the right, past the pair of Canthan guards, over the bridge. You will see a Jade Brotherhood Ritualist boss, Orosen, Tranquil Acolyte.
Upon approaching Orosen, he will suddenly come towards you, along with one or two Jade Brotherhood groups. Run back to the Canthan guards, allowing the guards to aggro Orosen instead. Run back over the bridge while the Jade are engaged with the two Guards. Use Enraging Charge when you are about to engage the group of Jade Brotherhood in front of the bridge.

-alternate: after aggroing Orosen run over the bridge and turn left on the roofs, walk to the back so you're out of range. after killing the 2 guards Orosen and his followers will kill a few other guards moving out of range, now you can slip past them. this route is slightly longer but safer because sometimes Orosen decides its more fun to kill you.

Pause on the bridge (after breaking aggro) to regenerate health.
At the end of the bridge, you will see 2-3 groups of Jade Brotherhood. Run past them, and activate Enraging Charge and Healing Hands when you aggro the last group. Pause at the area with the Tengu (should have broken aggro by now).
Follow the map, taking a left at the Tengu. Engage the first group of Jade Brotherhood you see and eliminate them (the Ritualist should be killed first).
Engage the two Knights on the bridge, and as well.
Using your Ranged weapon, lure the two Knights at the end of the bridge and . If they are accompanied by a Ritualist, be sure to pull the Ritualist back, out of aggro range of any other Jade Brotherhood.
Wait until the corpses have disappeared before pulling Ghial. If you see that Ghial is accompanied by a Ritualist, pull only the Ritualist until Ghial breaks aggro. Kill the Ritualist.
Do a quick count of how many enemies are aggroed when Ghial is pulled. If there is only one (or perhaps none), then follow these steps:
- Break aggro from Ghial with Enraging Charge.
- Go backwards on the bridge. You will see a group of Jade Brotherhood on a ledge.
- Kill all of them except for one or two Jade Brotherhood Mages (should only have two non-boss enemies when fighting Ghial). Break aggro and wait for corpses to disappear.
- Now Lure Ghial and the one or two Mages together so they are all attacking you.
Kill Ghial.
- ADDED**- If you are using full Sentinel's Armor then you can take down Ghial with up to 3 other non-ritualist casters.
- If you should choose to Solo ghial with no one around:
Lure Ghial out alone, this can be done by killing the 4 knights and any Ritualists accompanying them.
Make sure you have Vigorous spirit equipped as Healing Hands will not be enough with only him attacking you.
Wait until all corpses have dissapeared
Lure him out he usually comes out with a mesmer or a mage but he will go ahead of them.
Because he comes out ahead of them you can further aggro him across the bridge run until you reach the rooftop.
Now keep Dolyak Signet up as much as possible Flail is not needed and should not be equipped and replaced with Vigorous spirit.
Keep Vigorous Spirit on as it is your main healing factor when HH is not active.
Use HH as much as possible.
If a Jade Brotherhood member comes out right beside Ghial simply kill the member first than Ghial, unless it is a mage than you can directly aim for Ghial.

[edit] Notes

If you pull him and you happen to get a ritualist, kill the ritualist and run to the Tengu village (normally out of radar range of Ghial). Wait there for ~5 minutes and his Flesh Golem will be dead and the corpse will be gone.
If Ghial makes a golem but you have enough room to work, repeatedly pull Ghial and his golem, eventually you will get the golem out of Ghial's range. Kill it and then sprint at Ghial to keep Ghial from getting into range of the golem's corpse, or else he will make another Flesh Golem.
Victo's Blade is very useful
