Hey All,

Been trying for quiet a while now with all classes, except Mesmer, since I don’t have one.
Can anyone post any good builds that will help complete this achievement?

Class, Weapon, Traits, Armor, etc.

Let’s all try to help each other get this bad boy done.

Thanks

Engineer vs. Subject 7.

First 5 gambits (no extra enemy, no tremors).

Bomb kit, elixir gun (only for the toolbelt heal), flame turret, supply crate elite; your call on the heal skill I think.

Traits are 10/0/30/30/0 IINM. There’s some flexibility but I used backpack regenerator, elixir infused bombs, forceful explosives, elite supplies… the rest is probably personal preference (blood injection and energized armor were used as well I think).

Gear was mostly tanky armor, but trinkets were more berserker I think since I found I needed a bit of a push in damage. You might have to experiment.

The encounter is simplicity itself. Stand on top of him, drop the supply crate and flame turret early (the turrets should all survive the whole time so you want them going the whole time), then just do your thing. Move around a bit if you need the healing supplies, plus the elixir gun toolbelt skill and your heal skill/toolbelt. Only use the bomb, fire bomb, and smoke bomb (1, 2, 4) skills; I think concussion bomb isn’t worth it, and glue bomb is definitely a waste, and if you waste too much time you won’t finish. Throw in liberal overcharge of your flame turret for more blinds to keep the small oozes at bay. It’s really quite mindless in a rather beautiful way.

Dude, thank you so much.

I was already pulling my hair out, I use mostly War/Ele/Thief but was having so much trouble. Luckily I had a lvl 80 Engi, this build worked amazingly.
Exactly how you explained is all i did, didn’t even have to use elixir gun kit, had no difficulty at all.

Thank you bud and hope this helps many others who were having difficulty.

*If anyone else wants to post a solid guide like above for the other classes that would be awesome, that should help those who don’t have an Engineer.

Thanks

Thank you this worked perfectly, even with berserker gear and a few junk trinkets. My health was a pretty low at the end but I didn’t go down once. Now to figure out how to beat Liadri…

I need to disagree. I followed this guide TO THE LETTER and I tried it thrice. Still I didn’t bring him down more than 50% before my heal ran out and i went down.

I am Commander Shepard and Evons Company is my favorite store in Lion’s Arch.

Hm… are you moving around to grab the supply crate heals? Those come in really handy when you get a big chunk of health taken at once. Those + blind means you can usually stay very high health. Though I think there might be some randomness to where the small oozes spawn and so sometimes they die and sometimes they don’t.

what’s considered ‘mostly tanky armor’? I’m not usually one to worry about armor until this gauntlet, now my guardian has a set of zerker and knight’s and my warrior has zerker armor, lol

Sorry to be bumping an ‘old’ topic but I’d like to try this

I actually used… cleric’s, I think? I actually can’t remember exactly what I chose. I’m pretty confident something like Knight’s would work fine, but healing power makes sense if you can get it since the core of the approach is the healing bombs. Really there are so many heals strewn around if you get the “extra supplies” trait for the supply crate that you can make do with lots of different builds (and if you have the trait that gives bombs a bigger explosion radius then you have more freedom to move to those supplies).

Wow this didn’t work at all. With mostly tank stats and a lot of healing I went down fast. One time I got to like 33% thanks to it attacking the turrets while I got up again, but then time ran out.
