Guild Wars 2

Am I missing something? Is the a trick to this, or do I need to have quicken in order to do this, because Stability sure doesn’t work, teleporting behind her sure doesn’t work, she just knocks me back, no grenades or anything. I’m an Elementalist.

The same to me…
I got like few seconds to finish her but she always knocks back…
even if im playing with full party. Is it bugged or just need to stealth or something?

The cutscene ends:
- Run to her, start the finisher
- The entire ground is now covered in orange
- Wait about 0.5s, DODGE ONCE TO THE SIDE, immediately start the finisher.
- Dodging to the side eliminates the time it takes to activate the finisher again!

This does not require any class or skill, any profession can do it!

Yeah, this tactic isn’t working for me. I’ve tried it couple of times and every time she ko’d me anyways.

Would it work if you had stability during the stomp? Or invulnerability/stealth?

Stability does not work, invulnerability does seem to work. I would record a video but … can’t be bothered right now ; ) I’m on a Guardian so I used all the stability and blocks in the world, but they dont work.
The problem I had for the first couple of tries was that I would evade her big AoE and then stomp her the second she pulled of the next AoE. The animations would literally overlap, yet I would fail.
That’s why it’s helpful to dodge sideways. So again: After the cutscene run up to her, dodging the first grenades she might throw, and start your stomp. She then does the huge AoE which you dodge only once, to the side. Dont double dodge back. Right after the dodge, hammer your f key and just watch her vanish.

I got it with time warp + finisher..didn’t have to do much dodging

Stealth working)) Done it as thief

Dodge everything until Kasmeer starts to spawn her illusions. Then, for a short time, her shield will vanish (if you miss the moment, no problem – the shield gets removed periodically). If it vanished, just dodge into the ring room and finish her from behind.

Nuked her in an instant with stability.

Yeah, we’re talking about the achievement that you get for killing her before this phase mate

I did dodge the first aoe field and started the finisher.
The finisher got executed but when I hit her I get electrocuted.
WHY???

I tried to use stealth aswell – did not work

Keneth.6490:

WHY would they make that stupid cutscene unskippable. I’m sick of wasting my time having to wait for this to play out and then getting owned by her bull abilities that bypass stability and dodging in 5 seconds like it was nothing.

I hate Anet so much sometimes. Like the character wasn’t annoying enough already.

She seems to knock me back at .1 seconds left on finishing her. 6th try now.

As an Elementalist, you can use two different things to make you invulnerable while finishing, which WILL work for her. The #5 skill on focus in earth attunement makes you invulnerable and you can stomp with it. You can also start the stomp animation and pop Mist Form and get the same effect.

Kahrgan.7401:

6th try now.

6th? I’ve tried it like 15 times now. Literally nothing works. That attack bypasses stability, dodge, invulnerability, everything. It just blasts you back and you gotta watch the whole kitten cutscene all over again. -____________________-

As Engi i just popped Finisher and Elexir S at the same time that does the trick for me

Guard, Aegis + Divine intervention = ez

This actually works…. make your dodge to the SIDE. If you dodge towards her (into the control room or w/e it is) you will be automatically pushed back and fail and get blasted etc.

Charak.9761:

Guard, Aegis + Divine intervention = ez

Thank you, Judge’s Intervention lets you get there fast enough to make up for that split second before her attack. I completely forgot guards had that.

I just avoided the orange circles gracefully and then walked peacefully up to her face and smacked her down. Simple as that.

Was pretty simple as a thief. Shadowstep in, pop haste + finisher. gg easy.

That does not seem to work, when I use Judge’s Intervention it gets me in range of that attack that isn’t blocked by aegis, result sent away then dumped further by AoE.

Anyone have a solution on warrior? What skills to use to not get pushed back?

When the other mesmer is interrupting her, her shield will go off for 1 second each time scarlet hits a clone and you can port or walk behind her and do the finisher

I assume that this is bugged like the knights. Stability, aegis, intervention, dodging all fail and you get launched into her minefield. I tried damaging her with a ranged attack and then use the finisher but got zapped.

If someone gets the achivement it’s probably by blind luck. I’ll check back after the inevitable bug fix patch.

If you play a guardian here is what a guildie and I both did on separate occasions to complete it on our first try.
Go up to her and get pushed back the first time, then quickly judges intervention back to her and stomp her. It’s simple

Yeah, Tried haste, stability and Divine intervention. Fail. She bumps me everytime

Just finished this with my warrior. I used Balanced Stance to get through the first knockdown, dodged the second then popped Frenzy to finish her quickly.

Try to Finish her, break away and dodge, dodge back in and use Finisher under Haste/Frenzy/QZ.
Alternatively, get hit by it and use a Stun Breaker to stick to her and use the finisher.

Did not work. I even applied a second aegis via the third virtue after getting knocked and interventioning back but it makes no difference. What a disappointment. Not to mention that the next two achievements are locked behind this one.

Greatsword 3 to her right from the start, if you get pushed back during the stomp then use JI and pop f3. I’ve done that 3 times now and it works each time

With mesmer I did the following:
1) focus 4
2) blink
3) dodge big red AoE
4) timewarp
5) finisher

This got me the win and achievement quick.

Attempt #4 was enough to get the “dodge-sideways” trick to succeed. As a Guardian I GS #3’d to her, dodged to the side when she lit her AOE, and ran back up to her and Finished her before her second AoE went off. No special skills required, just a bit of timing.

There seems to be some weird effect/bug that causes the finisher to fail if you channel it through her aoe attack. Tried with elixir U→S and got the “Invulnerable” message on her attack, but my character ended the finisher and then just sat there for a second before taking a blast to the face (with no red circle in sight)

Either damaging her right before channeling or canceling your first attempt (during her aoe attack) and then trying again immediately worked for me (I did both on that try, so no idea which part did it)

Warrior solution: after the cinematic i used Rush using a sword (attention don’t get too close cause you are gone) in order to avoid the projectiles. As mentioned above i used stomp – dodge back. After that i stomped her again but the key thing is to use (as also mentioned above) frenzy to cut down the finish move time. That’s it but needs some practise

Man, no matter what I try and on which class every time I get close to Scarlet some wierd little bubble just pops up and flips me away like I’m a pinball.

Well, here are the results of the previous 10 runs: figured out how to circumvent the carpet bombing and used the GS #3 skill + dodge sideway + finish method. Got zapped in the middle of the finishing then immediately knocked back after that. Rinse and repeat.

Looking forward to the non-bugged version.

gotta do it when she atttacks, like Intervention just before orange circles come

No, this does NOT work! Dodging to the side moves you FAR away, and by the time you walk back, she’s knocked you back again and then all the AoE is around you and you’re bounced around like a nub.

Why is this achievement not possible to complete?! It’s simply stupid! Fix this, make it do-able. And not just for your pet class Guardian.

Lastly, make the cut scene skip-able. I’m bored to death of waiting for the cut scene to end because I’ve had to attempt this rediculous achievement so many times!

I’ll wait for a patch/fix before trying this again.

Nowhere to hide? That reminds me of something.

The problem is: if you run to quickly at her you will be pushed back over and over again. Just dodge the first few circles (or run around them) and then there is enough time for the finisher.

Once I did this, meaning not go there as quickly as possible but let here do the first three attacks I had no problems getting the achiev.

Anyway, this achievement sucks…

This Achieve sucks!
But easiest way for me was on ele:
lightning flash , earth focus 5, and finish. easy.
no dodging no nothing

Bonus points to people who finish Scarlet with the Cow, Quaggan or Snowglobe finishers.

I don’t know what the hell is going on with this but it is really kittening me off. Twice now the finisher was almost done and it just reset for some reason. No knock back just the finisher bar restarted. And then after 30 min because of these stupid kittening cutscenes you can’t skip I finally get it easily, and the achievement doesn’t unlock.

This is really really annoying. I’ve been trying for over 30 minutes now to stomp Scarlet when the shield is down but nothing is working. Stability doesn’t work and with Time Warp I only get half way through casting stomp before I’m knocked back…..

I’ve tried these dodging “tricks” and they don’t seem to work. I either get thrown back mid dodge, or I successful dodge the first circle but there is no pause between the first and second circle, she just throws a bomb in my face between the two circles which knocks me back anyway. I managed to sort of do it once but it looked like the finish animation bugged and it didn’t do anything to her.

Has anyone found a way that doesn’t involve bugging the finisher animation between dodge rolls?

Schlez i am guessing you are on a Mesmer? I blinked in to her then used mirror images and and my F4 skill( Distortion)skill mid stomp ( as i do in PvP and WvW) i got her on my 4th try i hope it works for you as well good luck

just wait it out, eventually one of the NPCs distracts her and you can just walk up and stomp; it’s what I ended up doing.
