Guild Wars 2

How to kill Blighted Pale Tree? It’s keep getting hp back when it’s low.

This fight is bullkitten to the Nth degree. After failing 3-4 times I finally decided to look up a strat. Best I saw was to keep her stacks to under 5 to kill her. I then had one attempt where her stacks were at 4 and she still healed. WTF.

On top of that, if you have cast times (such as a staff elementalist) you might as well kill yourself because this fight hates you. Seriously. This fight made me consider throwing out my elementalist and just continuing with my guardian.

Here is the deal:

She is actually decently easy. Projectile reflect or destruction is handy but not required, but super high aoe damage is very much a needed thing, or 1200 range berserker damage to take out her spawns as they happen.

If you get too far from her, her beam will spam knock you down. So either stability through it or get closer and dance through her death circles.

You absolutely have to kill the Firstborn as your absolute priority, it makes her very weak if you do and is mandatory to kill her.

I got it on my second attempt as a pure berserker stats Dragon Hunter, so totally do able.

Now, bugged-kitten Modremoth with the completely unbeatable messed up glider section that doesn’t deploy? Yea, thats going to need to be patched.

lmaooo before the canach fight i was like, i guess i don’t need reflects since he uses melee weapons! jokes on me, all of his attacks were ranged! also the shield at the end did nothing for me so i just dropped it and finished the fight normally.

after that fight i told myself i should probably have a reflect but i decided to go with my stun break instead. i guess i’m just unlucky because the caithe fight had a ton of projectiles as well!

i managed to get through them both with only downing once or twice but the mordremoth fight was just crazy, so much random damage piling on as the fight progresses. i was doing fine until i assumed a rift floating off the island would be solid ground for me to walk on but instead i fell to my death. the fight is so annoying i don’t even want to try it again until tomorrow lol

I managed to defeat her after numerous failed tries when she was at around 12 stacks. For that, I used invulnerability to avoid her final beam. I suspect it’s dodging/blocking/invuln through that makes her not heal back up.

I simply don’t understand… I play thief DD/SB, almost 100% zerk. I tried 6 times and it heals back up everytime. I had all the boosts possible (armor, damage, food, etc…) and this is clearly not doable by my character (i’m full ascended too). I’ve a good experience of thief playing and I never got such a problem! I can keep the stacks on her very low (0-3) but it always end the same way… And also, why isn’t it possible to dodge some of her attacks?
Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

I managed to get this done a few minutes ago. Have Dagger Storm ready for this one. Whenever she goes invulnerable and pulls out adds, turn on Dagger Storm, this will help weaken/kill most of them. For the rest burn through as fast as possible to mitigate this damage. When it reaches final phase without invulnerability, ignore the adds completely and BURN HER DOWN. This last phase is a DPS race, so go all out, try and spam DB and dodge out and in when the double AoEs come. As long as you don’t get knocked down, you should easily do enough damage to win.

Same situation here. I can lower her health to like the last 1/5 but then I keep on dying. I’ve tried ranged attacks and close up. Any advice for a S+F/GS mesmer (Build: DOM, INSP, ILL or DUEL)?

What prevents her from healing back up to 25%?

i found its easiest to stay close to here and use some aoe to kill her minions before they reach her… i had much more issues / longer with the eijr fight

The stacks she gets from the enemies that get to her. You’re essentially burning her down before she can get to 10 or higher.

Hmm. I thought I killed her multiple times with 3 or 4 stacks and had her heal back up. Guess I’ll try again, though. Thanks.

How do you even see the stacks. I’m pretty sure I cleared all stacks but each time I got to the third wave she fought differently. On my ele I just can’t get it. I can even see a mechanic around this one.

theres a safe spot if you hide behind a rock.. just saying

this is the biggest piece of bull S**t ever, i dont play the story for hard content. i just want to be entertained. this step is the biggest waste of time, F*** it

Any tip for revenant? What food/build do I need for this fight?

Is it just me, or was this fight buffed? I was able to kill her no problem the first time through, then I had issues with bugs at the last part after summoning all my allies. This time through on the same character, same build, same gear, I’m having so much trouble. Her stacks are always under 2, but I’ve died twice trying to get this done.

I am throwing in the towel on this one. I have a mesmer with full exotic armor. I have tried this multiple times and at the end she just kills me – sometimes I can’t even tell how she did it. Our usual tricks do not work against the NPC. She ignores phantasms and clones. You cannot stay at range, her beam is not dodgable. You cannot stay close, she will wear you down. Reflectors do not work. Null field does not work, You cannot outheal her damage. She will kill you in 1 or 2 or hits. Cathe heals you, she kills you again until finally you don’t go into downed state, you just die. Mesmer is just too squishy. Perhaps a clan mate or three can help me with this. Perhaps when I get my Char with his 32k health to this NPC, then I can beat her. It is very frustrating to have come this far and hit the wall.

I just want to point out that if you have problem with the Blighted Pale Tree, you can avoid the fight entirely by choosing to take Canach and Braham instead. It’s not an ideal solution, but it is one if you’re having trouble with part of the fight.
