So I tried several times now:

- Go to the first pillar during Tetris, avoiding the electric fields
- Jump onto the pillar after it as been activated by another player and stay there
- Mesmer Portal
- Invulnerability

I don’t get this last achievement. I’ve done it so often that this path became as easy as CoF 1 if there is a decent group. But it is so annoying wasting 30 minutes just for one attempt. And I cannot just quit afterwards (I am not a leaver) so I complete the run with the rest of the group.

So anyone else having similar problem not getting it?

And before someone ask: just rainig blues and greens… But that was expected anyway.

a tip to get it really easily: while Caithe is talking, head over to the door and stand on the little ledge on the door. It’s slightly raised and you don’t get hit by the floor. Wait until your group has gotten to the other 3 platforms, then with for the cost to be clear and hop two steps to the last platform. Makes the last platform easy and gets you the achievement easy. It’s a plus plus.

Tried that a few mins ago. Does not work.

So it is officially bugged! At least for some accounts!

Also tried to be the fifth person ranging the holo. No achievment either :-(

The game acts like it thinks I got the achievement, but I was never awarded it. So the issue must have happened the first time.

I remeber what happend the first time: I jumped on the second raised pillar (not hitting the floor) and it didn’t activate. The thingy on top of it was gone. So I had to jump down and up again so it appeared. I bet the root cause lies there. Maybe internally the game awarded me the achiev two times but the script schecks for “if equals 1 award or discard”. And now I am stuck in Anets DB with some bogus entry.

There were similar bugs in the past where some people were not awarded an achievement (I remeber that from patch notes). Looks like this happened again but got no attention yet, because not so many people do this stuff compared to the usual casual festival achievements where similar things happened.

Wrote to support explaining this and ask to investigate and at least reset the flag in the database so I can do it once more. And then I probably fail over and over again because I want it to hard.

Now the fun fact: I got all other achievements on the first run…

I hope they actually care for this one and not ignoring it. I am sure I will get a statement of “we are aware and working on it” and that’s it then. :-(

It’s always annyoing when it’s not you but the game.

Guess I am a pro runner of this dungeon now… A few more runs and I probably can do foreman and clockwork boss solo with ease. ^^ Need to work on Slick and Spark and I’ll upload a solo video. xD

would love to come with you once to have a look at this bug you have got :P are you in EU server?
hope they respond to your technical support enquiry

Yes, I am on an EU server. Taking a break from this path until I hear something from support as I am officially out of ideas how to overcome this bug / trick the system to properly award me the achievement.

Only thing I have not done yet is doing all pillars and killing the holo as well. But I doubt I can manage without having enough time to memorize the patterns by heart and paractive a bit…

Hopeing for next Tuesday. Maybe another ninja patch as it happens often for not very visible issues.

Support replied to me. Just telling me they cannot manually award me with the achievement which I fully understand and the long standard text to use the in game reporting tool. Hope they actually investigate it even if it is low on their list of priorities.

OK, I tried it again with the last idea I had. I activated all four platforms and killed the mob. This somehow reset it for me what was stuck and I got the achievement.

But it it still bugged for sure.

Are you sure you did not get hit by the electricity even once?

I am 100% sure. If you get hit you have this electricy buff symbol over your head. You can’t miss when you hit the electricity. And it’s not like I just tied once.

Also I made sure that I always jump onto an empty platform. It is known to bug if you jump onto an occupied platform and stays there. In the later case you have to jump to the floor and up to the empty one to get it.

But as said, doing everything reset what was stuck for me.

The way I got it was to jump on the first platform after someone else went there first. Once someone jumps on it, the floor momentarily deactivates, and you can go hop on the first platform with them. In my case, this guy decided to move to a different platform, so I got to stay there and not have to worry about the floor.

Almost got it on the weekend with a Mist Form Ele. Unfortunately, it seems that the diagonal trip from the 2nd to the 3rd platform is a split second too long before Mist Form runs out. For anyone planning to use this method, play it safe by Mist Forming back to the first platform, then Mist Forming to the 3rd platform after recharge.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if Shield Stance or Endure Pain prevent you getting hit by the electrified floors too?
