Guild Wars 2

A couple of us were trying to get the achievement for smashing all of the miniature village in the toy shop and we spent an enormous amount of time trying to find the ‘last one’ that we seemed to be missing.

I kept saying, that I wondered why there were two little buildings that would not smash, but the other people in my group did not understand what I meant.
Finally, one of our group said, “What are you talking about?”

I went and stood over where I could see the buildings and pointed to them. The two other people said that there were not any buildings there. We finally figured out that I could see the buildings but they could not. They were completely intact for me and I could not smash them but for the other two in the group, the two buildings showed to be smashed.

We were not able to get the achievement.

Boy, was that frustrating! LOL

There is actually a couple of buildings that need to be smashed multiple times to be fully smashed. Make sure that you hit everything multiple times in order to not get caught by this.
Took us about 15minutes extra to find out why we didnt have the achievement and eventually found a smashed one that needed to be further smashed.

Nope, these two tiny buildings would not be smashed on my screen. They were smashed on the other’s screens. It was showing to be smashed on their screens but not on mine.

I’ve been in the dungeon for a half hour, smashed everything, re-smashed, I’ve been up and down the whole area in a grid searching fashion, I can’t get the achievement, I’m going out of my mind.

My group was missing something when we went in to get it. The thing we were missing were some trees hidden in this cubby by one of the big buildings inside (the buildings that have that teleporter looking circle in front of them). I don’t have a screenshot but next time, make sure you make a thorough when you go in again.

The achievment works fine. you are missing one. As others have said there are certain buildings that look like they might be smashed and need to be smashed again to finish them.

Yes make sure you smash EVERYTHING, that includes ALL the trees. I was in there last night with my guild and we DID get this achievement, but not until we found one tiny pine tree we missed.

I’ll try, I’m still in it as I write this, using my Arcing Arrow skill to cover big ground, and staggering blow to hit in a wide circle

Took a while for me to finish this also.

We’d missed a tiny little house in the norn area, right on the edge of the overlook.

We missed a chimney on a building. It looked smashed, but sure enough, the chimney wasn’t.

Can you finish this after you have done the events?

I’ve spent nearly 30 minutes searching and cannot find anything at all. If anyone know where this magical “chemny” or “special tree” or “building that’s already destroyed” is, please screenshot and post it. This is nuts. Thank you.

Other people have reported that, in a single party, some people got the achievement and others didn’t. This makes me wonder if you have to be “in range” of an object when it’s destroyed to get credit for it.

In two different runs now I’ve scoured the area multiple times and still no achievement.

Took my party about 10-15min to get it all, what i find best is to whip out an aoe weapon like a greatsword and just flail around. Worked for us oh and make sure to kill every tree and every wall section they all count!!

I get it, took about 15 min to smash the last one, aparently is very tiny

We’ve had a hard time on this a few minutes ago, until I took out my epic flamethrower and well… xD
That’s some kind of fun! ^.^
I know why I love my Engineer.

Well, all I know is that on my screen I was able to see two miniature buildings but the others in my group were not. We were on Raid Call and discussing it. They said these particular buildings had been smashed to pieces on their screens but on my screen they were still standing. This is a definite bug and probably will only occur if you are in a group. I tried everything I could to smash these two tiny buildings but they would not smash for me.

It bugged for my group… cleared it with 5, 3 left. Remaining 2 of us smashed EVERYTHING, no achievement. Spent 45 mins making sure, no help. We reset it, then the 2 of us smashed everything in phase 1… had the achievement in 5 mins. Guardian staff skill #1 made it easy.

Not sure if completing the instance keeps achievement from getting finished, or if having people leave affected it. Either way, it’s fast & easy to do while the instance is in progress. If you can’t get it, reset it.

I completed it after the rest of the party had left my instance so that should be working. I did however have to use the Thief Shortbow clusterbomb to complete it since there was a spot where 2 pieces were in the side of a hill that I couldn’t break any other way.

Think its working correctly…

My party of 5 dropped down to 3 of us with only 2 of us inside. Myself had left the instance and came back in to join the 2nd party member.

We spent a good hour in there smashing everything, came down to the little monkey bars/bed wire close to South west corner hiding behind a hill, after smashing it finally got the achiv….

Someone in my group took out a flamethrower.
Even bombarded everything with grenades.
Whatever sneaky object it was, we never found it. lol.

There is something slightly odd about this achievement. It’s definitely doable (got it day one myself and have helped others get it), but each time I’ve been there when it’s been done, the last thing needed smashed was something that looked like it had been smashed already.

For my own run, it was just me and one other person in the zone, and right after I attacked an area (Guardian GS AoE) that did zero damage, the other guy attacked the very same spot and we both got the achievement. I didn’t visually see anything change, though.

For the other run, the two people that needed it (there were 3 of us left) reported the same thing – they were in the same spot, and one of them attacked and the achievement dinged for them both – but neither saw anything visually change from undestroyed to destroyed.

For my run, the last item seemed to be a part of a fence that was partially in the geometry of a hill. Not sure what the other run’s last item was (or was supposed to be).
