Guild Wars 2

Specifically the dodge achievements for the various warden fights. I got the ones for wardens 1 and 2 without too much trouble, but hit a wall when fighting 3-5.

I know you have to both avoid her attacks and have your lane be successful at breaking chain. After completing wardens 3 and 5 multiple times with full confidence of avoiding all the orange AE zones I finally checked the combat log.

The log is for warden 5 as it won’t go back far enough for 3, but aside for getting knocked around a little by warden 3’s bombs I’m confident I was unscathed by marionette.

I think you may be right. It’s happened twice to me so far. I didn’t think to check the log though.

It may also be possible that Marionette Deregulator is bugged considering have completed the events with successful chain breaking for 1, 2, 3 & 5 and only have 60% credit.

I got Deregulator without problems, myself…

I think another requirement is that you can’t be downed at all during the fight.

It’s also possible that you take damage from orange AoE while still in the loading screen.

Doesn’t explain the OP’s combat log though.

That might explain why I didn’t get it on 3 since I was downed by a bomb, but like you said doesn’t account for 5.

Regardless, not getting credit because of a hit by the Warden is pretty dumb.

Or there’s a damage threshold and greatsword auto attack the entire fight on mesmer doesn’t give you credit.

Combat log doesn’t show phantasm damage.

Yeah. I remembered that after posting.

Still have no idea why I didn’t get credit for Warden V, but I’ve discovered that if ANOTHER PLAYER on your platform triggers a bomb on Warden III that downs you, you are once again prevented from getting your achievement.

I agree, these are bugged. I’ve dodge her attacks (after we’ve downed our warden) I get the message ‘evaded’ but no achievement. I’m not exactly what else you have to do to get the achievement for dodging her attacks.

It could be that you’re getting hit by the attacks while in the loading screen.

If that’s the case I’m going to stop trying to get them. It’s ridiculous to be penalized while in a loading screen, you don’t even have control of your characters.

That’s true, but that only seems to happen if you load into the fight while it’s already happening. This stopped being a problem for me once I showed up at the portal ON TIME (i.e. before the countdown hit zero)…

The following requirements exist for the achievements:

- You cannot be downed AT ALL during the fight or you lose the achievement
- You cannot be struck by the Marionette’s attacks at all during the fight or you lose the achievement
- Your MINIONS and/or SUMMONS and/or PET cannot be struck by the Marionette’s attacks at all during the fight or you lose the achievement
- Your entire lane must succeed at defeating all five (5) regulators for you to get the achievement

Being struck during the loading screen is a problem. Make sure you’re among the first into the portal when it opens to avoid this; there is a several second leeway before the Marionette actually begins attacking from the portal opening that helped me a lot personally.

Hopefully this helps.

Are you sure pets/minions/clones/phantasms count towards being hit?

I have not made sure of it personally, but purely anecdotally from friends who have, in their own words, “inexplicably been denied the achievement when playing perfectly”. Maybe it’s just a Ranger pet, or maybe they were just wrong. That is the only ‘rule’ that I am not 100% sure on, as I did every single one with a Guardian because Aegis gives you mulligans. (The only unblockable marionette attack is the stomp on the first warden)

The only thing we have had trouble with was the /cheer command, both me and several friends are not seeming to get that even though we have tried to cancel out of the cinematic and /cheer, we tried waiting until cinematic ended and /cheer, and we have tried it after going up to the chest…still haven’t gotten the acheive….anyone have ideas what we are doing wrong?

treborIRL.4521:

I finished up the rest of my achievements on my servers marionette kill last night, they are definitely not bugged.

Just because you got it doesn’t mean there aren’t bugs.

You have to do it just before the cinematic. Best advice is to copy /cheer into your clipboard and spam ctrl+v when people get to the end of chain 5.

Pets/minions/illusions getting hit by the Mari’s attacks does NOT invalidate the achievement. I have gotten Lightfoot (on my Mesmer), Sidestepper (Ranger) and Muter (Necro) and I know for a fact that my summons all got smashed by the Marionette at least once during the fight.

I suspect that the hidden requirement of “you can’t be downed” is what’s stopping people from getting the achievement. Or perhaps they’re getting hit by the Mari’s attacks while they zone in; it doesn’t do any damage as they’re invulnerable while zoning, but it still counts against the achievement.

I just tried for the Warden III Dodge achievement (Short-Circuiter):

• My lane won the round
• I never touched orange AoE
• I never got downed
• I didn’t have any turrets or other summons out

Did not get the achievement.

/map suggested that you cannot take damage from anything the entire fight – orange AoE or the warden itself and its bombs. That would be weird though as I got the other four dodge achievements relatively easily.

And more ideas?

Avoid the orange on the floor.

Keep trying

Twice i tried to do the scream achievement. Twice i successfully evaded everything. Twice i didn’t get the achievement.

Ok, I tried like 10 times to get Short-circuiter. I’m pretty sure I did everything right but never got it. So what I did was that I switched to another character and got it in the first try.
Try doing it with another character and see if it works. I get the feeling they are a little bugged.

Oh and I don’t think pets/minions matter. I did it on my ranger.

Thanks. I’ll try that.
