So I am trying to do all Tequatl achievements and i have a little problem.
The “I found it !” achievement.
Is it even doable anymore ? It seems that everytime I fight Tequatl he gets either stunlocked by the big canon thus he doesn’t launch his vortex attacks or I get on an underpopulated server where his life barely moves.

Any tips on how to get this achievement ? It’s really sad to see those 50 AP hanging there without reaching them

Thanks in advance

I think Teq can/always drops a vortex somewhere when it reaches 75% just before running off.

I am pretty sure this is the case. But you have to be standing RIGHT at his feet to get sucked in.

yes its doable, most likely if you are in the front line groups rather than spaming/defending turrets

When i decided to get the achievement it took me 4 tequatls to get it(tho i was defending the turet twice)

just pay attention to the ground and what the asura announcer yells.

Another way to get it is if you join the 2nd or 3rd map with less people and less dps.
Normally ive seen tequatl cast his whirlpools after the burst phase (after we shoot it down with the megalaser and deal dmg to it) But the main maps usually have high dps and can make him instantly fly off to the next burn phase instead of fight us there with whirlpools

Yes, it’s doable. I finally broke down and did all the Tea Kettle quests about a month ago. The last one, and hardest not counting the hidden tidal wave one, was I Found It!

Depending on the zerg, it can be iffy . . . especially if they’re killing and keeping him stunned.

But yes, otherwise, it can be done.

Gone to Reddit.

So be clear you’re all say its possible but on the super low chance the group youre in doesnt stun lock him and burn him in 2 seconds? I’ve tried to get this all day and i don’t believe any of you that are saying it’s still possible. He does NOT spawn any vortexes if he is stunned the whole fight.

I know for a fact they never spawned because the asura hasn’t yelled out “Be careful, he’s dragging people under!” any of the times i’ve killed him.

You do realize this thread is 9 months old don’t you, and that the fight has been reworked since then so their comments on how doable it is may no longer be relevant.

The Tequatl fight was reworked 6 months ago to make it more difficult. That could affect how easy it is to get the achieves he is talking about.

I don’t remember any change in that time period but that aside unless you mean less difficult that doesn’t actually make any sense. Making it more difficult would actually make the achievement easier to get.

At the end of June of this year, 6 months ago, the Tequatl fight was reworked to make it less easy. Since the comments on this thread date back 9 months ago, then they were made before the changes and may no longer be completely relevant. The person I addressed my remark to should look for a thread made after that change to discuss the achievements.

Oh that thing. That wasn’t really making it more difficult though and it wasn’t a Tequatl specific change. It doubled the HP but also allowed it to be crit(which also means things that apply conditions on crit also works) and there was also the condition stacking change. The fight is much easier now than it was when it was first released (more people with ascended gear also contributes to that). Getting this achievement back then was easy because Tequatl would be using that attack for a while. Now? I haven’t seen this attack get a chance to be used more than once per run in a very long time.

It rather depends if they managed to break anything since this thread was made 9 months ago and, which is why the person I was speaking to should look for a more current thread and which would be why the comments made 9 months ago may no longer be completely relevant.

Weirdly enough tonight and last night we had whirlpools at the Teqs I was at… Most of the time I don’t see them though.

I struggled to find a vortex when I was trying for this achievement. Now that’s I’ve got it, I try to stay out of vortices and still they drag me down every time. The game has a sense of irony….or mischief.

Which is neither hidden nor an ACTUAL achievement anymore.

Dont run out of them, you still get sucked in, you need to dodge out of the circles. It’s weird, but that’s what works for me.
