lane 4
killed marionetted both times
didn’t get hit by scarlet’s sword attack both times
all other groups on platform finished wardens and destroyed generator

no achievement both times…

conclusion: this one is bugged

i got the first 3 but i’ve done this one 4 times in a period of 2 days and I just did it, did not get hit, did not get achievment, i wasn’t even standing where the sword attack hits..do i need to stand in it and dodge, or is it okay if i just dont stand in it ?

because it’s bugged from what i’ve seen

Are you Shpongled?

One possibility. What are your loading times like? If you’re like me and you take up to 10 seconds to appear on the platforms, it may be that you’ve zoned in and got hit by the attack before you even had a chance to respond. One time I zoned in to find my character flat on their face. It was only later after I got hit by the sword attack again and landed in the exact same pose that I realised I must have gotten hit by the sword while zoning in.

I’m a full zerker mesmer, so the first 2 times I got hit it was instant down. If I get hit by anything I’m dead. The last two times I dodged everything and I was standing clear of her sword attack. And when I zoned in both times I had 100% HP. So it’s not that. It has to be bugged, because I got the first 3 with such ease and I should already have this one. I also should have the last one, but all 3 times that I dodged it and wasn’t hit by the 5th one, the other groups failed and I didn’t get it…

Yes i am pretty sure it’s bugged for me too, twice for the second warden i never got hit and we severed chain but no achievement and same thing once for third warden. I was able to get 1st and 5th with no issue though. ’

edit: i was able to get the ones i had trouble with, it seems the problem was getting downed. (I cannot confirm this since a dev never said this would take away the acheivment, but i am nearly positive)

I’ve got the achievements (all of them, so they are not bugged in the classical sense)… what I’ve experienced was, that you have to meet certain conditions to get the achievement:
- don’t get hit by any of the marionettes attacks
- don’t get downed by the champion (it doesn’t matter if you’re out of the way of the attacks, once you get downed, you’re achievement chance is gone)
- don’t get hit by any of the champions aes (though I’m not really certain of this one)
- succeed in the warden event (isn’t really up to you… you have to be lucky with the rest of the players)

Then again if you meet all of that and still didn’t get it, I’d assume it has to do with your loading time, as other said already.

Hope this helps.

I’ve got all of the achievements too, but I feel this point is incorrect.

How I completed dodging the sword was by loading in and immediately rolling over to the border of the arena next to the chain generator. I decided to just tank any of the warden’s AoEs that show up as long as I was out of the sword’s reach; I have no idea how I didn’t get downed though. I did pop my invuln skills each time the warden’s AoE started which seemed to only do light damage on each remaining tick of the attack.
I do feel that the sword was the most difficult one to obtain though, just keep at it. It’s definitely possible.

I wasn’t sure about that point either, so I just wrote it down.
After not getting the achievements although the event was successful and I avoided the attacks of the marionette, I just tried to not getting any aoe dmg at all (including the aoes of the champions, and therefore not getting downed).

I, too, don’t think it matters if you get hit by the champions with their aoe. Personally, I think you should just stay alive and avoid the marionettes aoes. That is all

Hi,

the dodger achievement is the last one left for me but I can’t get it. I have tried several times to stay in front of the regulator, the free area from marionette’s sword swing. I am sure that I have never suffered damage from sword but the achiev does not pop. Most of the times, while being there, I suffer damage from the champion’s aoe, that sort of dark field that tics you down, sometimes I die for it, sometimes I survive, but I am 100% sure that I do not suffer any marionette’s sword swing. My question is, do you have to avoid also champion’s aoe to get the achievement?

I got it no problem. It took a few tries, but I got it. So I don’t think it’s bugged.

Don’t count on “safe” spots for this achievement. Chances are that it’s not really a safe spot and you caught the edge of the attack and it registered as a hit. Others may have just got luck is all.

The spot they refer to is in fact safe (infront of regulator). But if you get downed by the boss, you lose the chance to get the achievement. I’m not sure if this is a bug or intended, but its just the way it works atm.

Well considering that many others including myself got it by not sitting in the “safe” spot, I’m going to assume it’s working as intended.

The question isn’t the safe spot. It’s whether getting in the downed stay should forfeit the achievement or not, even if you are never hit by the Marionette.

Yes, you are not allowed to go into downed state. Otherwise you lose the ach.

I find this completely ridiculous. First your lane must not fail, then you can’t go down. Very poorly explained achievements.

The no-downed rule actually does make sense, is just poorly described.
Tying our achievements to the success of people on other platforms we can’t help is the design flaw here.

That said, i got my 1~4 achievements with no issues except for repeating them over and over until my lane succeeded to sever the respective chain. Mechanically, they’re really easy if you understand the fight and can dodge when needed rather than blindly spam it.

If you use a skill (utility) that makes you invincible or if you block attacks from the ennemy, you won’t have any achievment (Dodge + All champs killed)

How does it make sense? Yes, I understand that they don’t want people laying dead in a corner and in that way get their achievements. But downed does not equal dead. If I’m downed I’m still in the fight and should still get a fair go.

Exact, and if you die/get downed you won’t either.

I already got all achievements and the sword one was one of the easier ones to get, i was just camping near the generator (where sword can’t get) except when the doggies areas were in the outside circle. at that point i was just near the dog, meleeing it, but yet close enough to the generator to dodge back if sword appears.
