Guild Wars 2

Ok before anyone says you need to sever the chain before getting achievement, I know that.
So yeah, twice in a row now I have done the sword attack platform on 4th chain and both times have evaded the sword attack more than once and all platforms killed their boss and we severed the chain, yet still I haven’t gotten the achievement.

Someone else on my platform said they didn’t get the achievement either after dodging the attack too. So is the achievement currently bugged? I have all other achievements and this is the only one I need for OoM.

During one of the sword waves, you would probably have to stand in the black vortex for a bit of time.

The timing of the sword waves and the location of the wardens AE’s cause you to either get hit with the sword, or stand in the deadly black goo.

I have the achievement done, so it’s not bugged (2 days ago), unless it’s a recent issue.

Hmm, guess I just need to keep at it, though I’m almost certain I have evaded the sword at least twice.

Achievements like this are kind of annoying because it encourages people to play for achievements instead of actually trying to succeed at the event. Like we always need more people on lane 3 but most people stay in the lane they need achievements for, like me I’m always going for 4th chain so I can get my last achievement, and even when up on the platform I’m usually paying attention to sword attack rather than focusing on the champ.

You can’t get downed either, or you will fail the achievement.

You can’t get downed either, or you will fail the achievement.

First time ive seen this mentioned. This might be whats prevented me getting chain 3. Either all goes well and the other groups fail or I mess up and down briefly at some point in the fight.

Say what! you can’t even be downed?

I can’t remember if I was downed during the times going for this achievement, but that may be why I’m not getting it. Now time to dodge sword and camp in corner

I’ve played Marionette, everyday. Sometimes I’ve done it several times in a day. The only Achievements I am missing are Dodger and Muter.

I have now beaten Warden 4 at least twice where both those times, I have not been downed (or even hit). Both those times the chain was severed (actually Marionette was beaten as well). I’ve made a point of being near the Warden and to dodge out of the AoE.

No achievement. What is going on?!!

I don’t do it for the achievements. I do it for the loots. So I go to whatever lane needs me. Most of the time that is L3.
