I have completed the criteria for the achievement “Faster Than Light” many times (I’ve run the dungeon 9 times, completed the achievement 5 of them), but I’m not getting credited with the achievement. Today for the first time, a person I ran with died to the lasers and got the achievement, so there is obviously something wrong with the detection. I’ve submitted bug reports but I don’t it’s going to change anything.

I would be okay with bugs like this, if it weren’t for the fact that the dungeon is going away soon. This will be the first time-limited achievement I don’t have, even though I’ve completed it multiple times. I’m obviously extremely frustrated with this.

I made sure to avoid the laser walls that impede you earlier on in the dungeon, and I got the achievement. During a previous run, I got hit by one of those walls and didn’t get the achievement despite not getting hit during the fight with Frizz. Try that.

Try to die before the lasers are activated and just stay dead, maybe this will help.

Or maybe logging out during the fight? Someone know if one of these dirty tricks really works like the one on Personal Space and Unfriendly Skies?

Logging out works for Unfriendly Skies?

Dirty tricks, huh?

Doing FTL you can simply port to dungeon entrance waypoint right when your party enters and before frizz activates and, well, leave your party to handle the job. Make sure you are in frizz chamber when last golem still lives and hit it. Take note though that you are getting ported into frizz chamber automatically when approach second dungeon waypoint.

As for personal space, just relog on alt when Mai Trin is defeated and there’s only Horrik. Make sure to hit him and avoid his aoe.

I wish I would have read your post sooner! I found out what the issue was. I was 100% sure I was doing the boss fight properly, never taking damage, but I was however apparently taking damage from the laser walls on the bridges at the start of the dungeon. The tooltip of the achievement made me think only the boss fight counted.

Same issue here, only I didn’t take damage from the bridges neither…

Something else I suspected that caused me to not get the achievement even if I didn’t get hit by the laser walls was walking into the golems while they were super-charged by the lasers (i.e. their shield is up), although I can’t determine if that’s a completely valid cause for not getting the achievement (I couldn’t test it once I got the achievement >.<). Try that.

Ive done it twice w/o getting hit with lasers and didn’t get credit. that goes for the walls at beginning. I did get hit by golem shield tho the 2nd time. I guess that counts? So lame for a limited time achievement.
