Hello. I tried looking for a solution to my question but couldn’t find a final answer.
I still cannot get “No more tricks, Scarlet” even avoiding all lasers and scorches. The only attacks that hit me are from Scarlet Briar (not Holo) or the final aoe blast…so does these attacks actually count?

I had the same – only the aoe blast hit me and it didnt tick the achievement, so I am guessing that needs blocking or dodging too

There is residual scorch marks effects for 2 – 4 seconds after is disappears. If you cross it as soon as it visually disappears, you get “hit” by it which means you don’t get the achievement. When you see the scorch mark disappear from the screen, wait 3 – 4 (I waited 5 seconds) before crossing that area. As soon as I did that, I got the achievement. The bubbles didn’t seem to matter as I got knocked over by them a few times.

Thanks for replies.
I finally got it but I still wonder what really disqualify people for this achievement. I’m absolutely sure in both runs tonight I avoided getting hit by scorches, never got the “daze” effect or any of the visuals that tell you that the invisible scorch has hit you. The only difference was a glancing attack that I was sure came from Scarlet Briar since I was not moving from a safe position. Bubbles and final blast hit me both runs so in the end they really don’t matter.
If anyone is still getting a hard time for this achievement I suggest counting up to 5 before crossing area when scorches disappear, because probably counting less will disqualify you even with nothing on the screen telling you’ve been hit. So don’t count on visual effects for this achievement.
Oh forgot one thing: I fought Dynamic Hologram because it’s the easiest to deal with (no fire blasts, no aoe-debuffed people running on you) but even without scorches after the laser marks, it probably still “hit” like Prime Hologram lasers.

After 70+ fights with 50+ players in teamspeak getting their achievs, i can confirm how this work: First of all, breaking a rumour, the phase 2 attacks… NONE of them disqualify you for the achievement :P
The only damage that could disqualify you are the phase 1 laser scorchs on the ground (and due to a bad synchronized animation, the damage stays 2 seconds more after the scorch “dissapears”).
Phase 3 also have the same laser scorchs and you should be careful.
None of the little enemies attacks in phase 3 will break the achievement. And none also from the failed phase 2 if you happen to summon 18 enemies due to not killing all 3 holos at same time.
So… short story: only lasers and scorchs from Big central hologram.
