Guild Wars 2

I finally killed Aerin the other morning but I’m trying to do story again and now it seems like Aerin is impossible to kill. He goes into his shield up on the platforms and will not let you get near him to break it. He pushes you back at least 2 times a second and throws his grenades just as fast.

Probably bugged for you. I did him about an hour ago on my Ele and he wasn’t that tough at all.

I was having some issues with the red circles for grenades not showing though, but I just kept moving and avoid enough of them to survive.

I just tried this again and the same thing happens on platform. It does not seem like a bug to me. This fight is very much harder if not impossible now.

His shield pulses when he goes into that phase and knocks you down. You have to hit the button for the sun aspect when you see the shield pulse so the pulse is down when you hit him to fully break the shield. If you hit while it’s pulsing it will knock you back. At least that’s what I found while doing achievements today.

I just finished him and while it took a while, because his shield kept knocking me off the platform, I got him in the end. I hadn’t done him with any other characters yet, so I don’t know how much harder it is now, but it’s doable.

O_o. I don’t understand what the problem is. You get a sun aspect crystal and then stand facing him but not inside his orange AoE ring, then you use the sun dash skill… You don’t have to time it or anything, just dash at him from outside his AoE ring.

The only real problem I saw (more of an annoyance, really) with this fight was that the AOE rings sometimes don’t show. The aspect vs. shield problem (i.e. it didn’t switch him to green and drop his shield) happened twice, but I chalked that up to lag.

Make sure you have Aerin targeted and then use the sun aspect skill. You character will then dash into him.

You’ll dash through him if you don’t have him targeted.

This… they also Explained it before you even do the final fight…

I finally figured out about targeting him on my own with the aspect skill and that did make things much faster and easier.
