Ever since the world boss update, this world boss is on a 10min time limit. Failure to kill her before 10mins and she escapes and you fail BUT the island is suddenly filled with risen as though you killed her (as was pre update). It strikes me as odd that Lionsguard Jenny says: “Hurry and take her down now, before she can muster reinforcements.”
I would have thought Taihda Covington would go into hiding whilst pushing out the lionguard and there be a cool down timer before the lionguard rallies another assault. (the Ulgoth event chain does this very well)

But instead we have the lazy option of placing the Hydra queen on its ridiculous ‘pre’-event’ cycle (how many times do I have to escort the two guards to the OP hostile risen champions again?) to attempt to ‘reset’ the whole world event regardless of success/failure.

tldr: I hope Anet change the Hydra queen pre-events to differentiate between success and failure. Improve above the old system.

you have to do the pre-event three times before it goes to the next phase. The port in front of the pre-event npcs has a ship sitting in the water, once the pre-events to kill the champ risen have been completed enough to move to the next phase the ship will sail away.

In over a year not once have I managed to get this event-chain working.

I have never seen the Hydra Queen despite numerous attempts.

What server are you on because I’m looking to find one where the event can actually be triggered and completed.

I did this once, maybe twice, and months ago. It was organized by other people and just happened to be going on when I was completing the map. iirc there is a random NPC that must be protected during the pre events. Protecting her isn’t an event and I don’t think there are any hints that you have to do it, but monsters spawn on her and if she’s down the event won’t trigger.

Myself, as well. I gave up on ever seeing the Hydra Queen long ago. One of my guild mates stumbled into the queen and got the achievement a long time ago.

This no longer works. If players fail to take down Taidha Covington’s ridiculous HP scaling, the meta event stops working. Doing the “pre-events” will not restart the main meta event.

Currently, killing Taidha Covington is a one-time deal until next game update, or until it’s fixed.
