Guild Wars 2

So I tried to do this achievement alone and with 4 other people, but somehow we didn’t manage to get it.
Has someone done this achievement and could tell me how they did it?

same story here…really interested on it too!

I tried to do it with guildees as well, but it seems to dissapear before we get to the lab with the npcs from the cave. Don’t know if it’s bugged or is badly written (which is quite common in LW achievs).

I just completed it solo, I’ll redo it now to get screenshots for you guys.

First three: http://i.imgur.com/byUuGiv.jpg & http://i.imgur.com/Lpj6uPK.jpg Immediately to the right outside of the cave; attacked by 1 Tendril and 2 Roots.

Fourth: http://i.imgur.com/fe5z9HR.jpg (Where the Thrasher is) Ahead and to the left of the first three; attacked by a Trasher, can interact with him before the Thrasher spawns if you’re fast enough.

Fifth + Sixth: http://i.imgur.com/HrOZOVq.jpg Due West of the fourth, up a slope near the watchtower; attacked by a leaf dog.

Seventh: http://i.imgur.com/l8QQA95.jpg In a narrow gap due north of Concordia; Attacked by a Husk and a Root.

You have to kill the mob attacking the NPC before you can interact with it (unless you’re able to interact before it spawns) and they cannot die or the achievement immediately ends (icon disappears). Number of NPCs scales up with the amount of players in the instance.

Here’s a professionally edited map of the pathway: http://i.imgur.com/IpH9PzH.jpg

yea which npc am I suppose to find

Then it’s not bugged, but badly written. Again.

Just done it with my party. Before the leader (instance opener) speaks to NPCs in the cave, other party members need to spread across the area.

Talking to NPC triggers spawn of survivors and mobs attacking them. Some of the NPCs have the invulnerability buff, some others don’t, so you need to protect them all, just in case. The leader needs to go to every single NPC and talk to them (when out of combat) to make them run away.

When all of them are poked, you get the achievement. Not sure, how to do this solo, though.

How many of the npcs are there?

3 @ tower
2 @ other cave that you cant enter
1 @ green star before going to cave
1 @ the small in between of the rock and mountain

so 7, just did it solo

It seems to me that the reason it fails before you even realize what is happening is because the two soldiers just to the right of the cave as you exit are already in combat when the time comes for rescuing. Most of the others won’t be attacked until you get close to them. If you clear those two right away, then jump down and kill the thrasher in the water before it can kill that guy, then the rest you can do as you come to them. There’s a third vigil soldier in the tower above the first two I mentioned, but he seems to be safe in his tower, so you can save him later.

I believe there is more than 7.

3 at the tower just outside the cave where the caravan leader is (one up in the tower)
2 in the cave west of fort
1 in water just north-west of the fort
2 south towards where the instance start is
1 miner on the eastern side
2 vigil soldiers higher up above the miner
1 asura with 3 golems
1 more asura to the far north on the eastern back
There may be others just north of the fort, but I never saw that area during out attempts

The # NPCs scales with how many people are in the instance. There’s 7 when you’re solo.

Here’s a video playlist of all the cheevies for this patch done solo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VedbJr32dKQ&list=PL-TrRfEK5FsBqsl-g__c9FEUZHwnSSFyh

looks like its easier to do it solo then, if they add more NPCS with more players
