Better Red than Dead - possible tip
Tested that, doesn’t seem to hold true. All evidence points to RNG.
Yeah it’s RNG. Super lucky if that’s how it happened for you. But definitely RNG. When I did the achievement me and my team tried everything and it took us a very very long time to get the achievement.
The second time I did it with a guild member and the best thing to do is just not kill the minion until it teleports to the red column – then you can kill it and get the buff. If you don’t kill it then it keeps teleporting around to the different columns (and thus getting that colour buff) so if you wait a while they’ll eventually go red (which is faster than killing them all asap and hoping for red, unless your’e blessed by the RNG gods)
I did this achievement a night or two ago, seemed to notice a way to get the minions to spawn with a specific color:
If you let the minion spawn and wait for the boss to teleport the minion to a colored crystal, it always seemed to choose the crystal farthest from the player (I did this solo), so stand between blue/green to get it to use red.
I haven’t tested this extensively, but if you haven’t done the achievement, this may be helpful
Really? I found it the other way around, if I stayed near to the red crystal the minion teleported to the red one. I think it’s just RNG.
Its not RNG only
Just requires you to lure the small creature to get to you, kite it away from its original spot until it suddenly warps back.
At the moment where it warps back, it will land at one of the 3 color pads.
If it lands then on the red pad, and you kill it then, then your group will get red.
Does it land after the back warp on blue/green and you kill it, then you become blue/green.
I did the achievements yesterday with a group and we had the same problem after the first initial red we got and nearly DPSed the big one to death, but sadly ran out of protection time so that we had to break off the DPS to get not killed.
After that and like a douzen of various tries, we figured out how to get exactly the color that we want. But even then its just a matter of time and patience, because the real RNG lies here in the warp back to the color pads, which you can’t influence wqhich one gets chosen, so theres always a 33,3 periodic % chance, that you will get red at that moment.
Personally I like the idea behind sub classes ~ quoted from Chris Whiteside
I found the easiest way was to get a group and not use any color but red if available. I got the achievement and never used red – but I never used green or blue and my guildmates killed the boss.

That’s still RNG. It’s RNG as to what colour it is at first when it spawns in the middle; and it’s RNG as to what colour it will teleport to after you kite it. Yes you can actively wait until it teleports to the red column and then kill it, but the preceding steps were still RNG.
