Guild Wars 2

These rocks give me trouble like nothing else in tribulation mode. Is there some kind of secret to getting by them? In my experience they’re very inconsistent in regards to whether they activate at all and how far away they’ll hit me from. For the next time around I’d really appreciate some visual feedback, a little cloud of dust or something, to let me know how wide their AoE is. I’m fine with them basically one hit killing me, this is tribulation mode after all, but having a more clear idea of their zone of death size would just be lovely.

You can evade their attacks, some stuff require you to jump at em, then away then hurry and jump at em while they twomp, and also if u get damaged by another monster it can help too for a few seconds.

I usually jump on them, then jump dodge out of them.

Dodge jump on and/or off them (press dodge and jump at the exact same time). I would love to have a single button for this because it’s a really limited timeframe and it sucks to just evade straight into the lava

Yeah, the jump dodge has been an invaluable skill in dealing with the world 1 zone 2 rocks. I went from barely being able to pull it off to being decent at it pretty quick. Honing skills like that is the majority of the fun in Tribulation Mode. Mostly it’s the little rock gauntlet in world 1 zone 1 where they really bug me. Eventually I get through it but it really feels more like a matter of luck than knowing what to do. I suspect it’s a lag issue but I was kind of hoping there was a bit of secret to it. It’s fine if not, it’s not really tribulation mode if it doesn’t cause a little frustration after all.
