Guild Wars 2

I am doing the ‘Defeat the champ’ and I have 4/5 but have no idea which ones I have fought and which one I am missing :-(

Is there a way to tell?

Try to remember how each one attacks, I guess, that’s how I did it.

Stony Shield — has columns of dirty tornadoes with knockback
Whirling — does a spinning blade attack all over the combat area
Hammer — pounds you with a hammer
Blazing Gun — shoots you
Lightning Blade — has electrical arcs

If any of those sound unfamiliar, that’s the one you need.

Ok here is what was slowing me down. You have to be the one to talk to him to start the fight to get credit. If you talk to the balloon person to start it and then someone else talks to the champion, even if you get the chest for defeating the champion and the loot from the balloon …he doesn’t count.

So make sure you stand by each type and talk to them to start the fight.

This is not true. I’ve gotten credit for 3 of the champions without talking to them…I just stumbled upon it already in progress. There might be a bug, but one person getting credit for an event is not how it is designed.

I killed every single type of champion (more than once) getting the chest on every single type. I didn’t get credit until I went back and talked to each champion. Apparently it is an inconsistent bug. I was frustrated with it not completing and it would only give me credit for the last one when I did that. If he is having the same problem it might help him finish it.

Sorry, I’m not discounting your experience, just pointing out that it is not the only way things happen. I suspect a bug that should be reported.

I will also double check your method as I still need a couple champions and report back.

Yeah, that’s not how it played out for me either. I got credit for any champ that I damaged enough to count for a kill. Report that bug. Report it with all your might!

You can definitely get the credit after joining the battle halfway – you just need to deal enough damage. It is possible that the achievement check is based not on the event medal check, but on the damage threshold for drops or something similar.
