Guild Wars 2

So as any frustrated person attempting this achievement category, I’ve been following guides on Youtube and the wiki. I’ve noticed this discrepancy between what Dulfy and others see and what happens in my game:

Drink damages me for 20% while Water heals me for 10%
In these guides, Drink damages them for 10% and Water heals them for 20%

What’s going on here? Was this changed in some update that happened to Belcher’s Bluff? I’ve put in a good 3 or so hours on Adnul but even when I follow all the tactics of burping right off the bat, counting his drinks, using the right signature moves and get lucky with him not calling bluffs, it still seems undoable because of this discrepancy.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Do these skills do the same thing for you that they do for me? I KNOW I could beat this guy if these skills were fixed.

Are you using one of the learned skills?
Also even when you do everything ‘right’ in this fight it is still possible to lose. An incredibly annoying fight.

You had to have beaten it before they patched out the ability for Mango Pies and Regen Boosters to make the fight winnable.

I won both before and after, after is just such a pain that really is not worth it.

That issue has been raised as a bug when Belcher’s Bluff was first released, but remained unanswered.

Here’s one example

Here is my post from back during his first appearance. It has some tips on how to beat him without using exploits (based on my hours of trial and error):

You can beat him without exploits, but it requires a combination of specific actions by you and pure dumb luck. You MUST keep track of his Water and Belch CDs in addition to yours (have a friend help if you find you are unable to keep track of that many things at once). You MUST get lucky and block 2-3 of his Water drinks in a row.

To save time, I strongly recommend resigning the moment any of these happen:
1. He does not use Belch on his first move (you should always drink on your first move).
2. He uses Critique before he has less than half health remaining.
3. You fall to less than half health before he does.
4. You fail to block 2 of his Water drinks in a row (he almost always uses Water every 3-4 turns once he gets to half health).

You will do a lot of resigning, but the only way I’ve ever beat him is when none of those 4 things happen.
