Guild Wars 2

I’ve run into a problem where I need to use the Laboratory Equipment in Subject 6’s Lab (Thaumanova Reactor Fractal) to combine two parts for the Spark Precursor.

The problem is that I have never seen any of my fractal groups run or even mention Subject 6. Every run I’ve done involves the Superheated Room and the room with the lasers.

Is there a special requirement for spawning or fighting it? All the /wiki’ing in the world tells me to simply go fight it, but how?

If it helps, my personal Fractal level is 26, and my AR is 50 (unbuffed, no potions, etc).

Thaumanova Fractal has 4 possible colliders which can be deactivated. In the low levels only 2 need to be deactivated, in medium level you will need to deactivate 3 and in high levels 4 (dont know the exact scale where the value changes).
Subject 6 can allways be done, even in low levels, people only do heat+laser because if people know what to do, those go faster. Even in med levels a lot of people skip subject 6 because in almost every group there is at least 1 person that ignores the block phase and keeps attacking.
You can allways just ask your group if they want to do it, just mention it gives an extra champion chest, a lot of people will do it.

Ah, okay. That makes a lot more sense. Since it was tied to the Subject 6 Deep-Sixer achievement, I thought Subject 6 was an optional boss you had to force to spawn or something of that nature.

I’ll ask any future PUG/guild groups I get into if they want to do it. Thanks for the help!
