Guild Wars 2

I need some help with this achievement, i tried this dungeon several times and i didnt touch the fire, but for some reason, i never get it, i play as a sylvari ranger, maybe my pet cant touch the fire aswell? or am i missing something? please help.

My guess would be your pet.

It’s the same as the achievement in Fractals, when you fight the fire boss. Turrets and pets seem to count towards taking damage.

hmm, i might try keeping the pet out of the fire, but its hard since i cant fully control where he goes on his own, i might go in the back near the entrance, but i dont want to delay my teammates, is there some way i can keep the pet from touching the fire?

Have not played a ranger in a bit but maybe use guard and stick him somewhere away from fire?

thats actually a very good idea, thank you ^^

Another thing to watch out for:

In the case of the fire shaman elemental, you also take fire damage if you stop moving and prevents obtaining that achievement (I believe). This might also be the case in the TA fight if you are killing slick first; and if so, keep moving the entire time as you are killing Sparki.

The pet thing might be true, but I am not so sure. As a mesmer, I obtained both the fractal and TA achievements. It could easily have been luck both times.

You get the achievement before that fight.

Show’s how much attention I pay to achievements and reading in general. Sorry, my bad!

Sounds strange, but when you enter the room, don’t go for the right (north on map) ooze. Try the left (south on map) ooze.

We had 2 people in our team, who didn’t get it more then 5 times on the right side. They made sure to not touch the fire. They also waited mostly on the door, while we did this part with 3 people, but helped a little bit on the first part of the right side. They never got it there. With mesmer, ranger, guardian or whatever they brought there.
Only after they did it on the left side, they got it on the first try, without changing anything. I think there is a hidden place on the right near the ooze spawn, which is killing the achievement. Only one of now up to 8 people got it on the right side.

Good luck

I’ve been through this multiple times on my ele. I feel bad for some of my teams because I’m really being a baby about everything when I get to this part. I know I’m not taking any damage, but still no achieve. I submitted a ticket and was told “sorry, visit this page” which brought me here.

I almost always take the left path. I’ve been through about 6 times or so. For those of you who’ve been successful, what are you doing? Is it ok if ooze or elemental hits you?

I have same problem with this achievement too. I followed all suggestion on this forum without a success. This is so frustrating, I have done all achievement except this one. Please help

I’ve also completed the dungeon about 8-9 times now without getting this achievement, and am fairly certain that something is bugged here. I’m usually kiting the ooze while dropping reflects though, so I wonder if it would be easier taking on one of the simpler roles and just focusing on kiting/killing eles.

If there is a bugged spot somewhere around the beginning, for example, then an ooze kiter having to constantly run back to that area to pick up fresh oozes would almost certainly step on it, while people who just run once to the end might not.

My guess is that it’s most likely just another case of graphics not quite matching the actual AOE similar to Teq’s tidal wave, the foreman’s axe circles, etc.

Edit/Update: Just got the achievement by going left side and not kiting the ooze ^^
