This achievement is next to impossible to do, maybe I lag to much or something but Ive tried to stomp her before her shield about 40 times now with no success.

I’ve tried stability (she still knocks you back)
I’ve tried quickness (she spams skills faster than you can do the stomp)
I’ve tried stealth (she still spams skills on you as if she knows where you are)
I’ve tried following the vid on dulfy (never seems to go my way even if I do something identical to the successful vid)
I’ve tried the using quickness and then stealing with the daze on steal trait (still no success)

The most annoying thing? Not all the failures or attempts, but having to watch the cutscene over and over and over again. The first time I saw it I thought cool. Now I see and think ug here it goes again. Please give me a skip scene button!

1. target her
2. use a dmg skill (any)
3. dodge the aoe
4. hit F

Did it 1st try, no stability or anything.

You can also use mist form on an Ele while doing the stomp when you see the orange circle. It’s pretty much easy mode rather than having to continuously watch that cutscene for each attempt to learn when to dodge.

I did exactly what you said and…random knockback mid stomp with 0 warning.

This achievement requires skill to understand the mechanics of her stomp interupt. You can get tips from Dulfy if you feel you’re stuck.

I followed dulfy’s guide and vid exactly, it didn’t work. I am getting a random knockback with 0 warning, unlike in the vid.

I do not have an ele. Considering that my post made references to steal and stealth I thought it was obvious that I play a thief. And I am dodging the giant orange circle fine, that is not what is knocking me back.

For better reference:
I run towards her. Steal in to avoid having to dodge the small circles. Dodge the big circle. Hit F. Randomly interrupted with no warning mid stomp. Any ideas?

Unlike other classes Necros can’t stomp while in any transformation. However if you follow Dulfy’s guide it should still be possible for necros.

I found that steal puts you too close to the control room. The room behind Scarlet has an invisible shield that KB’s you through any buff at random times if you so much as sneeze near it. Stay the max distance in FRONT of Scarlet that still allows you to stomp. Don’t worry about any fancy tricks, just run up to her, dodge to the SIDE (if scarlet if facing north you want to dodge from west to east or east to west) when you see the choking animation on your character then immediately start stomping and don’t hit any buttons until it is complete.

Well a lot of people have more than one class. You also just need to level an Ele high enough so to can use the mist form. You only need to be level 5.

Yes. I got tired of watching the cutscene so I hopped onto my Ele and got it my first attempt. Later that night I figured out the timing of the dodge and did it on my other account. Both ways are doable.

Every class has a way to make this easy. One way of course is to make her cause the knockback prematurely, activate any skill that gives quickness, and then stomp her. Invulnerability skills (Elixir S, Mist Form, Drink stolen from Aetherblades, etc) also work for this job.

Completely agree, nothing works! The most frustrating thing is that people have somehow exploited it and seem to think they did it legitimately and want to try suggest it’s achieveable when it’s blatantly not!

Firstly, fix the cut scene so it can be skipped.

Secondly, make it so the achievement is do-able.

You can stomp players with Plague form. Start the finisher and then use plague while in the finisher animation.

It doesn’t work on Scarlet, though; she just removes your stability and knocks you back anyway.

I seem to be experiencing the same problem that Thighum is. I am using an Elementalist and mist form helps up to a point, but then I’m randomly knocked back and interrupted without any warning.

I feel like I’m getting closer every time, but it would make things much less frustrating if I could skip the cut scene on retries. I enjoyed it once, but now…

Two things to consider.

1) There’s an invisible barrier near Scarlet, so if you get too close, or too far into the doorway, it’s an insta-knock back. You have to spike her from the outside edge of your stomp circle

2) Even if you do start your stomp on the outside edge, her red circle is a tell that she’s about to stun lock/knock back combo you. So when you’re in the stomp motion, 1/2 second after the red circle shows, you need to dodge backwards. As you evade the knock back, you need to dodge or rush back forward to start your stomp again. You have just enough time to pull it off without quickness before her knock back cooldown is up.

I haven’t seen the video but I think I’ve got the mechanics down. I failed to dodge at the critical moment and that’s why I failed. I’m pretty sure the next time I’ll be able to do it.

Done it a couple of times now on my Mesmer. Followed Dulfy’s way with a slight mod. The second time I did it I actually missed the dodge and was knocked back. Time warp was still active so I hit Decoy and ran back in for the stomp. Scarlet actually went for the decoy and the stomp was mostly out of stealth.

I’ve only attempted this once so I’m not sure if Kasmeer does it all the time .. she surrounded Scarlet with Phantoms which Scarlet proceeded to hit. I noticed she alternated north and south sides. The shield drops just before the red circle comes up. Wait until she dumps on one your side, then immediately run in (time it so you are beside her as the shield drops), pop stability (I’m a Necro so, press F then hit plague immediately on or after F) and enjoy the stomp.

Unlike other classes Necros can’t stomp while in any transformation. However if you follow Dulfy’s guide it should still be possible for necros.

You can’t stomp while in transformation, but neither can anyone else. You can do a “kara-cancel” style thing and stomp with it though.

But it’s irrelevant. Stability doesn’t work here.

It was made harder in the hotfix. I got it by using arcane shield to block the initial attacks, start stomping and then mist form.

Couldn’t manage it on any other class because of the modifications to make her start attacking sooner, most of the guides are no longer relevant. I couldn’t manage to dodge both of her initial volleys and still dodge the knock back.

Note: Blocks do not work on the knock back, only the volleys. When stomping her you either need to evade or use an invulnerability skill.

I just did this without using any Stealth or Quickness. All you need to do is avoid the red circles, know when to dodge, and stomp quickly. Practice makes perfect. If you hate waiting through the end cutscenes, go watch Dulfy’s video.
