Semilegendary Treks
Добавлен 30 окт 2023
I am Semilegendary, a lonesome wanderer on a perpetual trek across Tyria. Haunted by a troubled past I seek mindfulness and inner peace in the beautiful landscapes of this world. I find moments of serenity as well as adventure, unexpected friendships and even love. You are welcome to join my journey, friend.

Guild Wars 2: The Lost Quaggans of Bitterfrost Frontier
@semilegendarytreks
SORROW AND LOSS will always be part of life. While battling the hostile climes of Bitterfrost Frontier I was made painfully aware of this truth. The Durmand Priory had sent me to study the history of the kodan sanctuaries, but premade plans where upended by more urgent matters.
The subject of the many notes I took during my travels were indeed of sorrow and loss, but also pride and identity. After all, the result of any journey is more than a mere change of scenery.
One will always face oneself at the end.

Guild Wars 2: A Wanderer's Chronicle of Gendarran Fields
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Месяц назад
@semilegendarytreks THIS IS MY LOVE LETTER to Gendarran Fields - a chronicle of places, people, and events as encountered during a full day’s journey. One day, when Tyria has disappeared into the Mists for all eternity, I hope my account will remain as a memorial of days great and incomparable. I set out from Vigil Keep with a reminder that freedom has its price - and concluded my trek with the...

Auric Basin: Eastgate to Fahautl Grounds (seeing old friends and making new tiny ones)
Просмотров 853 месяца назад
@semilegendarytreks Taking a short breather after my trek from Wanderer's Waypoint I subsequently entered Tarir through Eastgate, in my opinion the most magnificent entry to the forgotten city. My plans were however not to explore the home of the Exalted but to press on west and south after exiting the city through Northgate. It had been a long time since I visited my Itzel friends in Fahautl G...
Auric Basin: Wanderer's Waypoint to Eastgate (silent trek)

@semilegendarytreks Ambient golden light and hazy blue shadows create a beauty that stuns the beholder, but the wild jungles of Auric Basin can easily deliver death if one is caught unawares or tread with disrespect. Yet, with a mind in balance and senses keen even this wild locale can become a source of inner peace. Beginning at Wanderer's Waypoint in the northwest corner of Auric Basin I made...

@semilegendarytreks Eager for more adventurous treks I travelled to the northwest corner of Desert Highlands where the land is covered in perpetual snow and the wildlife is... well, wild. I prepared for my journey in Derelict Delve, my goal being the majestic Transcendent Falls in the south.

@semilegendarytreks After enjoying the hospitality of the ogres at Lommuld Kraal I continued my trek heading south, through Lifeblood Ravine and further on to Salt Flats. My plan was to rest by the Giant's Tea Table rock formation until dark so that moving on I could enjoy the splendor of this region's starry night sky (which I truly love). This stage of my journey was to end by a campfire at t...

“This is a fanmade work of art.” I’d say. Wow. Just. Wow.
GW is my canvas 😁
A fantastic blend of storytelling and visuals, together with enchanting music makes this a masterpiece in the GW2 World.
Another masterwork!! I don't regret a second spent on your videos as they're always so beautiful :) I love the incorporation of NPC voice lines in this video. You chose the right lines and made sure that the voices didn't overshadow the music. And the music choice was on spot as always, I love the track when we delved into deep water and when we bid farewell to the quaggan. Bitterfrost Frontier has some of the most magical places in Tyria. The forest was one of them, and I adore that shot of the canopy from the ground. Another shot that left me a deep impression was when we delved into the deep, that shot from underwater with the ice layer growing distant from sight was simply amazing. The part when we slowly walked into the small cave of the Bitter Cold with light disappearing behind was cool too. On the story... I remembered the lost quaggan quest to be a cut part of the main plot in A Crack in the Ice. Nevertheless it is intriguing in the lore it talks about, and you managed to make it emotional as well. The quaggans are usually seen as these cute creature with nothing else, but this quest tells us that they can also be brave and adventurous, and they can understand sacrifice too. It also made me wonder, will we one day see Semi's trek through Metrica Province and learn more about our adventurer's backstory? On a last note, I'm curious about the various "tricks" you used. Was the ghost quaggan's aura Bifrost's rainbow? I noticed the ghost quaggan appearing near Joyless Fall in the video, where did that ghost effect came from?
Sorry for the wall of text XD I tend to write too much when I like the video
Hi! Don't worry about writing too long comments, it's amazing to learn of the impressions. Yeah, quaggans are a bit misunderstood I think. They have wisdom in their generally pacifistic outlook but that also generates tragedy aa they tend to give way rather than stand and fight... The ghost effect came from munching a Strawberry Ghost. The aura comes from wearing the Prismatic Champion's Regalia amulet. And yes, there will be more on the backstory and a visit to Metrica. Thank you so much for your interest in what I do! It makes it all the more meaningful ❤
Your wall of text had me going back to see some of the things I missed ❤
This is amazing! I was glued to the screen the whole time! Very well done!
Wow! This is quality arm- content!
Happy you liked it ❤
this is like watching those Mount Everest documentary ❤❤😊
Quite wonderfully told, very well done. I hope more people will watch this.
Thank you so much! Reaching a large audience was never really the aim for my channel but I am happy if people find beauty and peace in what I do. I will continue my treks across Tyria and tell my story for all who would listen.
This is a beautiful video taking a small achievement quest and telling it's full story through some great camera work and enchanting music. Loved it :} Keep up the great work! I look forward to more videos in the future!
Thank you my friend! My treks will continue.
Thank you all who support my channel by subscribing, commenting and hitting that like button. You're simply the best <3 Spend a month in Bitterfrost Frontier and you will grow to love it! Admittedly, it was a challenging map to make a video out of for a number of reasons. Even though it's quite small, the dynamics of the day and night cycle required some planning in order to get the right shots at the right time. And the ice storms drove me nuts! Not making it easier for myself, I decided early on that I would love to make a video where presenting the various locations I visited was interwoven with the Quirky Quaggan Quest (I love quaggans) as well as a developing personal story. The project turned out to be rather emotional and time consuming, but I think it all came together nicely in the end. I hope you will enjoy the result. See you in Tyria! /Semilegendary
Thank you very much for your hard work! As I was watching it my first thoughts were that the ice storms would have been so annoying! Even when I'm just passing through that area I always feel like slamming my head on the keyboard when I get shot from across the map by one! (At least it feels like its across the map!) Keep up the great work :}
@@Tankunish I'm glad it's just not me those storms are after 😅 And the fact that you can't hit them with anything but the flame makes it even worse!
First ^^
Greetings, friends old and new! It’s been a while now since this video was published and I’m glad it's appreciated as much as it is in spite of it admittedly being a, well… rudimentary first attempt. Chapters are now added to make the trek easier to follow. The recording process was (and still is btw) learning by doing with camerasettings, angles, transitions, editing and whatnot. A rewarding experience in itself, it is also a part of my efforts to combat personal stress issues, which is still one major reason to why I keep making these videos. I also love playing the game, of course! If watching my videos help YOU to slow down, relax and seize the day it’s all the better. Take care out there, and I’ll see you in Tyria!
@@semilegendarytreks Would you please share what you use to “film” yourself?
@@ksfarmmom Of course! I film the gameplay with the GeForce Experience recording software.
Taking a moment to appreciate the details in the game-the sound of the snow, and not only the footprints in the snow, but the little clumps of snow that get kicked up when walking, as well as how long the footprints last.
I love the footprints. They add a genuine feel that would be lost otherwise.
Please keep making content like this. I love it!
Thank you! More treks will come!
I have traveled this land myself. You have stirred many memories. Go in peace, my friend.
Perhaps some day our paths will cross.
These are really funny hahahaha well edited and relatable XD That part where the sand eel just jumped out of nowhere had me laughing very hard 😂 Makes me think of the countless times I tried to RP walk or stop to take screenshots only to be ambushed by some random mob
Those darn mobs, right? 😉
This one's funny and light-hearted haha After the first chase, I started guessing when the second one will take place XD Also after I watched your behind-the-scene video I can't stop laughing whenever I see a random player haha
Glad you found both this one and the behind-the-scenes fun! I sure had a lot of fun putting both videos together! 😅
I love the format you used here, writing a travel journal as you go along all these wonderful scenery. It feels like we're following an adventurer in Tyria, it's really immersive!! Thank you for your work!!
Also, what's the first track you used in the video for the skimmer ranch trek section? It feels so atmospheric and perfect for the desert!
This is such a masterpiece, how did I miss your channel before 😭 I can't imagine how much time it took to create such a beautiful and inspiring work. I'm sad we didn't get the chance to pay respect to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the settlement, but this is still an amazing trek. Thank you for writing this love letter and sharing your journey with us!!
So happy you accompanied me on my trek :) Yes, it took some time and patience to make this video but I had a vision I just couldn't let go of. Sharing my journeys so that others may join is one reason for starting this channel, my love for the game another. And it's always a hard choice to pick what to cover in a trek, but who knows. One day I might return and look for more wondrous things...
This is truly an ART. LOVE your work.
Thank you so much! :)
A very enjoyable chronicle! but but but... those benign swashbucklers did not tell you of a not so secret Aetherblade hideout just south of their happy li'l camp? rumor has it the perils of that cave-like dungeon far exceed those posed by the centaurs... maybe when you come back by Gendarran Fields some day...
Glad you enjoyed it! Alas, I did not speak to the swashbucklers. Should I return one day I'll certainly question them about the Aetherblades and complement my chronicles with their information.
So beautiful and relaxing!
Thisis fantastic, thank you very much! I look forward to seeing more of your creations! How did you get the camera to flyover and handle so freely?
I'm happy you liked it :) As for the camerawork, it has taken a bit of trial and error and tinkering to find out what I could do or not with the limitations of the game. The flyovers are done by me or my friend Parvati gliding in first person view. And yes, more treks are coming!
Well-done, beautifully captured !
Impressive to avoid aggro that long in such a dangerous place! Would love to see a Caledon Forest trek one day :)
Really cool video! love it
Absolutely beautiful trek ❤. Thanks for sharing xx
Fantastic! More maps, please?
There will be more maps :)
Incredible video. As a big Guild wars 2 fan, this is a gift to behold. Thank you Semilegendary Treks.
I'm happy you liked it! I feel like I am the one who should be thankful, though. The response to this video has been beyond what I ever expected ☺
Your comment in the description is exactly why I take screenshots and tell stories of my characters. It's sad to think one day I'll never log in and see them again, but at least I'll always have the memories, screenshots, and videos ♥ This is inspiring me to try making a video on my favorite maps and places, you did such a fantastic job!
Thank you so much for appreciating this video and yes - I feel just like you do. My characters (and this little asura in particular) take on a life of their own and will always be a part of me. I'd love to see your video when it's done!!
Loved the ride. Thank you
Glad you came along!
bit of a hidden gem of gw2 content here <3
Glad you found me :)
Awesome ! :)
Thanks!! :D
This is amazing! I just discovered your channel... I know what I'm going to binge in the coming days :D
Thank you so much! Hope you'll enjoy my other treks and adventures as well and let me know what you think of them :)
What a lovely letter, thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it, great to see there is more than all the hypes and fast content you find here.
So glad you liked it!
i really appreciate this content, watching this drinking coffee, feeling relax,. thank you for this
Happy you enjoyed it, and ye that's how I envision one would watch my videos: sipping tea or coffee, just relaxing and feeling comfortable :)
Very well made video.
Thank you very much!
love and enjoy the game :D
Still a beautiful game! Thank you for this, and for crediting your second camera. I thought that was how you got the shots. Did you have someone else go ahead of you to kill off mobs?
I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) Yes, it's important to give credit and certain shots that I want to do require the assistance of a second player. Killing off mobs is something I've done myself up to this point, even though I try to plan my treks so so as to avoid the need for it if possible. Needless to say there are areas that probably are too difficult to do alone, so when I credit someone for "Mob control" then you'll know I got help ;)
peaceful little trek
It was very soothing :)
and then in a moment's notice they whipped out their staff and killed god.
Lovely to calm the mind. I wouldnt had mind some extra text at those points you stop to look around, like in some of the other videos. I found that always cute and it gave some sort of connection :)
Thank you for commenting and giving feedback :) I am working on on more videos with travel journals and storytelling. I make my videos to calm my own mind and they reflect my current mood. I guess right now I needed a bit of silence...
I love your job thank you
Thank you, so happy you enjoy it!
Very cute and fun! Your short lured me in. You made this looked so nice.
Thank you so much :)
