I’ve been doing Tequatl about ten times straight in the last few days, and I’m stuck on I Found It.

Yes, I have read a few other posts, looked at videos, read the marvelous Dulfy and asked a number of players in game. When in game it either does spawn, or it doesn’t.

When it does, it’s usually on a map with JUST the right Goldilocks Zone of players. When it doesn’t, it’s on a zerg kill it quick map…OR a totally underpopulated one.

Any advice on finding the RIGHT map, and when I DO find it, where in the kitten I should stand and what it actually looks like aside from the dated images and videos available?

Thanks…

There’s no way to predict, unfortunately.
Short story: arrive 30-40 minutes before the first spawn of the post-reset day and keep trying until you find goldilocks.

Long story:
In the old days, Tequatl fights were guaranteed to include a phase in which the sinkholes popped up (or, “popped down”, depending on your perspective). Most of the guides and videos are based on that perspective.

In the new world order, you need the unusual combination of a map that is organized enough to get to the first burn and low-enough on DPS that first burn is insufficient to trigger the defense phase.

In my experience, such maps are more common (but not at all guaranteed) if you show up 30-40 minutes before reset — due to human nature, you get enough people who go AFK and forget to come back right away: the perfect storm for being organized with too little DPS for the first phase.

Not quite as good: 30-40 minutes before any other spawn. Also possible: 5 minutes or less before a spawn (but in my experience, those are just as likely to be empty)

If you do teq once a day you’ll eventually get pulled in to the whirlpool after the first damage phase.

Watch its bar and when it goes invulnerable look around for the circles, some will be whirlpools. Bring a class with a blink and hop inside any that seems like the non-deadly type. Swim down while holding ctrl+alt to see enemies and where the chest is.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep it up until I finally get sucked under!

Thanks again for the advice. I “found” it this morning and finished the achievement.
