Guild Wars 2

So for several months now I’ve been trying to get the hydra queen achievement, done it nearly 30 times, but have yet to get the achieve…wtf is going on with that? I’m starting to think I’m bugged because when I do it with friends or guildies they get the achieve, yet I do not. I get credit for the event (sometimes not the chest though) but never get the achieve. And yes I do it from start to finish, even killing the risen capt those few times it takes to spawn the event. There’s something going on with this. Surely I’m not the only one this happens to?
Edit: yes I make sure the NPC Jenny doesn’t die too, because I know that sometimes makes you unable to get the achievement.

weird. I got this achievement like 2 days ago (after months of hunting for it) and I only popped for last few hits on Taidha. I only logged into a game because I saw it in “On” on gw2stuff.com and tohught I give it a try coz I needed that only achi.

Well you guys are lucky, at least you guys have got to see her. I’ve yet to see her up when I’m on. I’m usually looking at gw2stuff.com when I start and then every once in a while while I’m playing.

She’s not on a timer, you actually have to kill the risen version I think 3 times in a row, then her actual events will start. That’s most likely why you never see her up on the overlay

I don’t even know who or what the Hyrda is.

I saw the achievement in the list and never knew what it was or where this Queen is.

To get the achievement you need to be on the last place where she teleports and atack her. It doesn’t matter if you fought her on the other places of that ship, if you get too late to the last place where she stays you dont get the achievement.

So the best way to do that is to know where she will be and just wait for her there. Depending of the number of people on the event she dies very quicky, giving too little time to run to her specially if you get lost on that ship.

Good to know, I’ll try it next time. That’s complete bullkitten if it works though. No reason for it to be this hard to get.

I believe Casmurro is correct—make sure you get in some hits when she is at the final (chest) location.

I do, but apparently i need to just camp out there and be physically there when she shows up, which I have not ( I was usually right behind her though). I’ll try it again this weekend and post my results.

Not entirely. When I got my achievement it was just me and a friend fighting her. My friend was right next to me when Taidha was killed and I am pretty sure I didn’t solo her. I got the achievement but he did not.

The only difference between the two of us that I can think of is that fact that during first phase I had already taken off a fairly large chunk of damage before asking my friend for help and I was higher level(lv 80 vs 50s) in berserker armor so I probably did more damage afterwards too. This was before the most recent update but this bug isn’t new either.

yes I’m bumping.

Is this achieve possible?
Just beat taidhe, got the daily chest but not the achieve… (or is it like teqs achieve in the panel, not achievable? )

so…..nobody knows??

I got the achievement several months ago. So, as far as I know, it’s still able to be done.

Yeah, I’d try again. If you still don’t get the achievement, I’d screenshot both the event reward and your AP to show you still didn’t get it, and then report it.

Maybe this will help.
