Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if anyone has gotten this achievement?

I have tried a handful of times to do this achievement, but in the fray of things I can’t tell if we’re destroying the cocoons or if she’s eating them. XD So, I just want to know if other people have this and to be sure it’s not bugged. Thanks!

SPider Queen works like the one in Kessex Hills… she attacks someone and transforms that person into a coocoon… and runs to him.. kill the coocoon before she reaches it and gg

…yes, I know this.

I am wondering if people have gotten this achievement. I assume you have?

Yes I have got it and it was a pain. People didn’t seem to realize what to do. Some even pulled the Spider Queen towards the cocoon…

It is possible, though.

Okay, thanks. That’s all I was wondering.

The cocoons kept appearing right on top of the spider, so we couldn’t be sure if we were busting them or if she was eating them. Very annoying!

She can be pulled, though? That’s good news.

Just like any champ she can be pulled, but after that she gets that immunity to control effects… don’t know the name right now ^^

Defiance? Boo. XD

I got it a few hours after the patch. Seemed to me one of the easier achievements. Now finding Peter, there and annoying challenge.

I was in a group of strangers who waited for it to spawn to get the achievement, with everyone standing at range and the spider permanently immobilised it wasn’t very difficult.

There was one ranger though that felt like meleeing the mob instead of ranging like everyone else, fortunately the spider killed them with irony instead of using a cocoon.

I’ve gotten it after 7 attempts.

You have to keep calling cocoon and try to encourage people to range. If they just run in and go toe to toe and spam the 1 key, it is very likely you will get someone eaten. Speaking of spamming the 1 key, those in the cocoons need to remember to do that as well.

This and the cannoneer were the two most frustrating fights cause of the zerg. Some of us were screaming ourselves hoarse to move the guy into the laser, but because they were doing minimal damage they’d rather take 30 minutes to kill him than strategize at all. In fact! Some even were complaining it was bugged cause they couldn’t just stack and spank.

I appreciate that ANet is shaking that trend with the LS stuff, but man when people are coming up through the ranks, doing the QD or FGS trains, or lots of dungeons and fractals where that sort of stuff still works, it is not all that surprising that translates into what it does for more challenging LS content.

Thanks for explaining the move into laser thing. I was yelling in map chat during the fight to ask if anyone knew what aether attack was. Of course no one responded an people beat on it forever.

Trying to accomplish a goal with random zerg is frustrating as hell, especially if you get stuck in a overflow where half dont speak english.

This spider queen has been my personal nightmare for the past 14 hours, and still going strong. I cannot for the life of me find a zone where people understand how to fight it. And the insanely slow respawn dosnt make it any better.

If you can gather enough people, the spider will go down so quick, you can get the achievement almost too easy. So maybe spam map chat or bring your guild buddies?

Yeah, it wasn’t super clear initially. Once I read that the achievement was to avoid getting hit by said laser, it clicked.

Got it in the second attempt. We had a more organized group and burned down the spider pretty quickly which reduced the chance for failure.

Spider isn’t too hard as long as you have people paying attention to the chat and killing cocoons. Failed the one attempt I went to so far, but I’m sure I’ll get it sooner or later.
