Guild Wars Afterlife Guides: Xotecha, Dungeon & Co-Op Tips

Guild Wars Afterlife guides on the Xotecha jungle, the Unformed dungeon, skill drafting, reward unlocks, co-op play and the Reforged base-game requirement.

These guides cover the systems that define the Afterlife expansion. The Unformed is a dynamic dungeon that reshapes itself run by run, so learning its rules matters more than memorizing one layout. Skill drafting changes how you assemble a build, rewarding players who adapt their profession kit to the options drafted each run. Start with the beginner guide if you are new to Guild Wars Reforged, then jump to the specific system you are stuck on. Every page is written from official announcements and community sources rather than datamined assumptions.

You need Guild Wars Reforged

Afterlife is a paid expansion for the original Guild Wars (Reforged edition), not a standalone game. Own the base game before the January 13, 2027 launch so you can play on day one.
