GW2 Shadow of the Mad King Mad Memoires Act II quest guide with detailed walkthrough. Click here if you did not do ACT I yet as you will need to complete ACT I first.
Look at your Mad Memoires Book, it will say the following..
A recollection of the life and deeds of Mad King Thorn, as recounted by his loyal subjects and friends. The volume ends with the coronation of King Thorn. It seems incomplete..
Super quick run down (provided by Legionn)
#VII – Gendarran Fields – Ascalon Settlement Waypoint – Northern ruins
in an archway.
#VIII – Harathi Hinterlands – Demetra Waypoint – In the Martyr’s Tomb.
#IX – Bloodtide Coast – Laughing Gull Waypoint – NW side of island on a
wrecked ship.
#X – Harathi Hinterlands – Seraph’s Landing Waypoint – Look for a
building with supplies in the floor.
#XI – Harathi Hinterlands – Arca Waypoint – On the bridge to the East,
use Aqueous Scan to douse the fire.
#XII – Sparklfly Fen – Fort Cadence Waypoint – In the basement between
2 pillars to the left of the ghostly throne.
Act 2 Start – Gendarran Fields – Memoire VII: Handless
– Stories yet untold despite the power that marks a spooky site. When humans flee their homes of old, where they settle cannot be told.
Go to Gendarran Fields, Ascalonian Settlement and then locate the location indicated by the arrow (use the dotted line if you are unsure). If you use Corporeal Field scan (4), it will reveal a suspicious location.
This will trigger a new event called Drive Back the hands of the accused thieves. Completing the event will trigger the spawn of Cashel, who will hand you Mad Memoires VIII: Handless
The clue revealed in the book is ..
This hinterland village was home to a goddess and a martyr (site #6)
Mad Memoires VIII: Feast and Famine
To go Harathi Hinterlands, and go to the POI called Matyr’s Tomb in Ruins of Holy Demetra. Here you will see a Statue of Dwayna, clicking it will tell you to /kneel. This will spawn another ghost called Emissary of Dwayna. Use your candy meter near Emissary of Dwayna, press 3 (Etheric Scan) to spawn Fenn who hands you the book!
Here is the hint given for the next site…
These old bones are caught in the gullet, where laughing rises from sorrow (site #7)
Mad Memoires IX: Pains of Love
Go to Bloodtide Coast, head to Laughing Gull Waypoint. There is a sunken ship to the left of the island. Use Aqueous scan #1) There is a suspicious location clickable gear. Click it and a Haunted Door will open. An event will start to kill Mad Realm NPCs until a Veteran Candy Elemental spawns. After his defeat, talk to Seamarshal Bennu to receive the Mad Memoires IX: Pains of Love
The clue given is The landing at Arca struggles to fill its storeroom so it will never starve again (#8).
Mad Memoires X: Tax-o-Lanterns
Go to Harathi Hinterlands again, this time head to Seraph’s Landing waypoint in the NW corner, you will need to go a bit south from the armor repair guy and go up the stairs. Up top is store room with hay and pumpkin. Use your candy scanner here (Scan Corporeal Field #4 ) to reveal Rufus who will hand you Mad Memoires X: Tax-o-Lanterns.
Clue given: Green is the color I want to remember. Not the red of flames or the blackened plateau. The Bridge, even it was green (site#9)
Mad Memoires XI: Flames of Renewal
This one is also in Harathi Hinterlands. Go to the northeast bridge that spans over Arca lake.. Use your scanner ( gaseous scan #2) there to reveal a suspicious location on the bridge to start the flaming ghost event. Use aqueous scan to find suspicious spots to reveal buckets of water to douse the flame on the ghost. Anyways, the ghost is Portia and she will hand you the book Mad Memoires XI: Flames of Renewal after she gets doused off (some players reported able to run up to her and grab the book before they die form the fire damage if they can’t find a way to douse her off).
Clue given: Walk in cadence with King Thorn’s shattered subjects. They keep their hatred deep within (site #10)
Mad Memoires XII – Descension
This one is in Sparkfly Fens, under the crypt below Fort Cadence, inside the Shattered Keep. Go all the way to the bottom of the crypt. Here use your scan #3 (Etheric Field) to to reveal a suspicious location near the torch.
Now you are done! Head back to Lion’s Arch and hand everything back to Magister Tassi

Blimey you’re quick to start this!
Guilherme Martins
the clue… is it about the haratih hinterlands ruins of the holy dementra
Dulfy
my bad, correcting it now. it is indeed fenn.
Bikkstah
This is wrong. You use the candymeter at the Emissary of Dwayna and then an NPC called Fenn spawns who gives you Book 8.
TooTer
I didn’t use any scan. I knelt at the statue and then talked to it and it gave me the page.
Arya Beth Stark
Dwayna appears, wont hand me the book 🙁
Joe
talk to fenn, not dwayna
Arya Beth Stark
No Fenn here
Bikkstah
Use your Candymeter. Dulfy’s post is wrong, Emissary of Dwayna does not give the book, an NPC called Fenn that spawns on top of her does. It’s very confusing.
Joe
Is site #7 the Pirate jumping puzzle in LA?
Arya Beth Stark
Ok, you have to talk to Fenn, but you have to summon him with the scanner by pressung 3 (Etheric Scan)
Dulfy
ty
nagrom
speculation: the gullet of bone = sharkmaw caverns?
Isami
Been there, haven’t found anything 🙁
Dulfy
ocean’s gullet in sparkfly fens which we checked, now checking laughing gull in bloodtide coast
Dana
Dulfy, page 12 is in my comment above you.
Dana
have found this site: go to sparkfly fen, and go into the crypt/tomb at north fort cadence. when there on the bottom floor, south wall on a column there is an unlit torch. scan there for page 12.
Withabix
Give Bloodtide Coast and Laughing gull island a shot 😉
derms
I think it’s at Bloodtide coast: laughing skull island is close to sorrowful sound
katreyn
leaning towards this as well. can’t really find a place or remember a place thats full of bones or anything here though.
Ted
Laughing gull island in bloodtide coast?
Koclobster
3rd is the small boat south of Sorrowful Sound in Bloodtide Coast
Edric
On a ship between sorroful sound and laughing gull island
Mark
9th page is in bloodtide coast, laughing gull waypoint, on a half sunken ship on the northern part of the island.
BB
Maybe it’s in one of the gullets? Ocean’s Gullet and Gasters Gullet
Bikkstah
Page 9 – Bloodtide Coast, Laughing Gull Waypoint. Go to the half sunk ship in the water north of the island. There is a suspicious location clickable gear. Click it and a Haunted Door will open. An event will start to kill Mad Realm NPCs until a Veteran Candy Elemental spawns. After his defeat, Seamarshal Bennu spawns who gives you page 9
Grizz
site #7 is here http://i.imgur.com/6KGhN.jpg
Lsy
thanks
Marketh
The third one is in Bloodtide Coast, Sorrowful Sound. Go south from Sorrowful Waypoint and the ghost can be found on a boat wreck, Seamarshal Bennu. The ghost was already there for me, but I assume you use the aqua-related scan.
Akiyama
4th one is from Arca Waypoint in Harathi.
Bikkstah
Page 10 – Seraph’s Landing Waypoint in Harathi Highlands. Go South of the Armorsmith icon (The “helm” icon on the map) and go up the stairs. There is a storeroom with hay, use your candymeter to find the ghost NPC Rufus.
Ted
Arca lake hattari hinterland?
BB
I found Mad Memory’s XII : Descension
Morgan Sedeyn
any idea what the acra reference is?
redhead
Clue from 10 – “green is the color i want to remember. not the red of flames ofr the blackened plateau. the bridge, even it was green.” any ideas?
derms
diessa plateau?
Rozyn
Page 11 is still in Hinterlands, southern side of the northern most bridge over lake Arca, she’s on fire, basically, just south of the stand of 3 trees on the western side of the road just before the bridge. There’s an event to extinguish the flames, but water buckets don’t work. You can roll into her real fast and spam talk before you get killed to get the next page though.
Rozyn
uh, meant eastern side of the road just before the bridge.
katreyn
Yeah I dunno what to do. Spamming her doesn’t work. And I can’t find any buckets. >.<
Hugo
To get water buckets, use your candymeter to reveal a shiny near the ring. Putting out the flames with that bucket works fine, but you must put out the entire ring…
Bikkstah
Page 11 is in Harathi as well. Take the Arcallion WP and go SW to the bridge on your map. it is covered in green moss. Portia the ghost is surrounded by flames here. Kill nearby NPCs to get buckets of water to douse the flames. When they subside, she hands you page 11.
Dana
have found this site: go to sparkfly fen, and go into the crypt/tomb at north fort cadence. when there on the bottom floor, south wall on a column there is an unlit torch. scan there for page 12.

Dulfy
thank you 😀
Legionn
Thank you for the credit above.
Shepardx
the seraphs landing is in NW corner, no NE 🙂
Bikkstah
Page 12 is in Fort Cadence in Sparkfly Fens on the very bottom floor. Take the Fort Cadence Waypoint (or Mire Waypoint if Fort Cadence is contested). Head north and go down to the bottom floor. There is a ghostly throne and a veteran captain. Use your candymeter between the 4th and 5th pillars from the throne, on the left. Wynn gives you page 12.
manniL
For Tax-o-Lanterns you need to scan w/ the last option
thepoet
Thank you so much for updating so fast; must be really stressful.
Nubb
X is in NW not NE, thanks for guide 🙂
theguf
Mad Memories X: Tax-o-Lanterns
“Go to Harathi Hinterlands again, this time head to Seraph’s Landing waypoint in the NE corner”\ Seraph’s Landing is NW corner
Gantoris
Flames of Renewal there is a suspecious location on the bridge that triggers the flaming ghost event
Gandolfi
With the ghost Portia in Harathi Hinterlands, we tried an aqueous scan which seemed to douse the flames…
Guest
For page 11, during the flame event, you use aqueous scan to find a susicipous spot and that spot allows you to pick up buckets of water to douse the flames
VanishN
For page 11, during the flame event, you use aqueous scan to find a suspicious spot and that spot allows you to pick up buckets of water to douse the flames
Jason Young
Does this change the book’s appearance or stats in any way?
Dulfy

Jason Young
Oh wow, just saw a vid of it, very nice!
xvicex
Thank you for compiling all this .\ Tons of help..saving alot of unneeded aggravation:)
Faalagorn
Two typos:\ – It’s “Mad Memories VII: Handless” not “Memories VIII: Handless”
– The fort name is Fort Cadence, not Fort Cadenza 🙂
Just a small typos, that are a tiny bit confusing, but as always, a great guide anyway 😀
Dulfy
thanks for pointing them out, wrote them in a hurry 😀
