Guild Wars 2

In case you guys can’t remember it, it’s the one in the charr area catacomb where you have to dodge all the knock-backs as you fight some statue.

Now, I’ve read and watched all the well-known (but outdated) guides and their comment sections, and in my 45 tries (and I quote, fourty-five) I’ve tried:

• all the “safe spots” that seem to have since been fixed, as the kittening balls spawn right on top of me
• standing behind the statue or at the right hand corner of the entrance or the rubble pile to the left of the entrance
• dodging the balls, kiting, CCing them as I ran with -66% kittening move speed
  I’m too tired and kittened to remember what else I did. Anyway at some point the game will say, “kitten you” and just drop rubble or a fear ward or a floating ball right on the destination of my second dodge roll or something.

I’ve used a staff reaper for mobility and ranged DPS/CC/minions but if there’s any other, more recommended class/build for this specific kittening achievement, I’d love to hear it too. I’m going to take some weeks’ break from this kittening crap but I intend to give it one last try once my wrist recovers from all the clicking because of the initial dialogue of some stupid cats. Thanks very much in advance.

if you use staff/scepter and stand on the small raised area to the right of the statue close to the right wall (right side as you’re facing it from the entrance), the orbs have to move around the raised area and up to you, you can run/dodge off the side of the raised area and down towards the entrance without getting hit by them. it dissolves/dissipates about half way. if you stay close to that wall, you won’t get knocked down by the hammer attack either.

Its substantially easier with 2 or 3 players. That way they can take care of the seekers and you just have to worry about the attacks from the statue itself. Plus, with more people, you kill it faster which means substantially less time to screw up and get hit with a knockdown

there’s a new safe spot on the right side, it’s not the one on the left either. they might fix this too, i learned about this on dulfy, but they didn’t have a video, just a screen shot.

As someone that was stuck in this achievement since last friday, I know your pain. I finally completed using a mesmer with GS to stay out of range from statue attacks and using that “clone when dodge” trait (forgot the name). Kept running around, using GS4 on mender, and dodging when that orb spawned (the clone will aggro the orb, that just disappear without exploding after a little time). Still needed 2 runs to complete because in the first run I was knocked back by the statue attack even staying out of the range.

Yeah it’s much easier with 2, I did all these old achievements with my buddy. They are very frustrating and gimmicky usually no matter how many people, but in most cases these are way less likely to fail with another player.

The new safe spot in the video totally works. You can get several achievements that way.
