Guild Wars 2

Hello anyone, so Im doing the S2 mission “Roots of Terror”

The achievement Chak Killer_Master states: “Jump into the pit and kill Chak”

So I went in, solo, and I killed everything inside the pit, but the achievement didn’t trigger, what could I have done wrong? I got the other two achievement’s but of course the hardest/longest one doesnt

Did you AoE a lot? I think near-simultaneous kills can sometimes fail to register. Occasionally a few chak can be stuck in the wall as well, according to the wiki.

It took me several goes, I think the problem was chak running away and getting stuck in the walls. Also if you get defeated (maybe even if you just get downed) during the fight I don’t think you can get the achievement.

I know that when I finally got it the achievement there were still a bunch of chak still alive in the pit so maybe it keeps track of the number between attempts now? I don’t know.

If you die, the achievement is lost, but you can get downed. I succeeded by going for them one by one, without pulling a train. There were 3 or 4 left when I got it, I killed them too to finish the job though. This was about 6 weeks ago, so I don’t think it has changed.

The achievement is not about killing all the chaks, but about killing a specific number of them (there is a few more in that pit, so you do have a leeway). Every time you die, your kill counter seems to reset, which almost certainly will make the final number not high enough. Also, the achievement requires you tag those chaks, so you can’t let anyone else do the kill. Braham’s dps, fortunately, is negligible, so if you pay attention that shouldn’t be a problem, but any other player with significant dps can be a problem.

Good advice.

The most reliable way to get the chieve seems to be to go slowly. Make sure you are getting kill credit on each foe (rather than letting them die to conditions), so take on only a few a time. If you clear the pit and still haven’t triggered the achievement, hug the walls and use AoE skills — sometimes a few chak spawn out of sight (if you end up in combat, they’re there someplace; keep using AoE if you can’t make them come out of hiding).

I wish ANet would make a small change to make this one less annoying. Show the number of chak killed (as the game does with other, similar achievements) or spawn double the required number or reduce the number or anything so that folks don’t have to post on the forums about it. It’s not difficult; it’s just unreliable; that’s a bad thing for the game.
