Congratulations! As someone not skilled enough to kill her (yet!!), I do think you guys who manage the 8 orb achievement should get a title. I know its buggy and annoying, but completing it even with those handicaps deserves a title for sure.

Nice achievment points btw!

Rather keep the Tickets bcuz they will most likely be sellable again… and the Gauntlet will come back as an Activity (so free use then)

And better rewards. I don’t think its was worth doing for just 20 arch points, but i made that to fill gc archs anyway. Why a title inst added i don’t know.

Build: 0/15/25/10/20 Condition Clone

Weapon: Staff (Carrion)

Gear: Carrion (Undead Runes) (Earth Sigil) / Rabid based Ascended Jewelry

Boosts: “Bowl of Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew”, “Master Tuning Crystal”, and Boosters.

Let me first say….. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!! This has taken me quite a while to complete. I got the initial kill a few days ago but this one…. This was harsh. I play the same build for everything and I’m not a fan of changing my core build which consists of Mesmer Staff condition build 0/15/25/10/20. My build is based on keeping clones up at all times to max out conditions. This fight made that aspect very hard so I had to adapt with swapping out utilities to “Mantra of Pain”, “Arcane Thievery”, and “Blink”. None of which I use on a regular basis short of “Arcane Thievery” for the occasional swap of feedback based on content.

Again, my build is based on clone upkeep and there was none. About the only damage was coming from my “Winds of Chaos” auto attack and you can imagine how brutal that was lol. It took severe circle strafing with blind spots to keep auto going, evading images, watching aoe, and scanning for orbs. I used “Chaos Storm” to insta-kill orbs due to staff / the occasional scepter (did not use on the actual achievement clear) auto attacks being “obstructed”.

This was a pure challenge. I think it was even more challenging staying committed to my build… But I wasn’t budging and now I’m lighting up the darkness BAYBEH!

tl;dr I almost threw my laptop against the wall but then I won so I didn’t.

edit: to clarify I mean in part 2

That was the challenge tbh. I didn’t. It’s impossible to keep clones up in this fight due to the hourglass shap coverage aoe that alternates in two positions that cover the entire arena. The extent of my clones were Phantasmal Warden (carefully timed so he could at least survive for 5 seconds :P ) which would grab her attention and take a few hits before dying. The only other clone I was using was Phase Retreat and that was just for a few seconds of added conditions before he would die.

Like I said, it was absurdly difficult as a condi staff mesmer. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone lol. If you’re comfortable with the build, go for it! Up the challenge! Best of luck!

I don’t have the achievement yet (I’m not masochistic enough to get it on my ranger), but next time the arena comes around my engi should be high enough to go for the challenge!! Or at least I hope it’ll still be there =(

PS: maybe they should give a badge for it IE: like world completion, instead if a title.

Will gladly help if any ranger needs help with it although I’d rather not try to do that achievement again. Still I’d say that’s the most difficult thing I’ve done in this game so far.

Kapina, what utilities/weapons you used? And some tips if you can^^

Weapons: shortbow/greatsword

Utilities: Troll Unguent, Lightning reflexes, Signet of Stone, Signet of the Hunt, Rampage as one. If you are having trouble with the cripple use Healing Spring and/or Signet of Renewal.

To make that achievement in time, you have to perfect the first phase, which means you can’t miss any of the white pools during that phase. If you miss even one, I’d suggest you get yourself killed or just practice evading and abilities that round.

Doing the achievement really starts at phase 2, and unlike when you just kill her, you have to be more daring and actually sometimes stay on top of circles instead of running to safety. That way it’s easier and faster to kite the adds towards the white pools. The problem I had for a long time was that I was able to kite the adds to the pools, but I forgot the importance of also damaging the boss ALL THE TIME. You must kite, evade not only the aoe, but preferably boss’s crippling jump, and also keep firing at her with your shortbow.

Greatsword is useful for 2 things. The more important thing (even during phase 1) is to use ability number 4. It will block enemy attacks (this also means shadowbolts boss does on first phase) and it blocks the aoe. The ability number 3 comes handy if you notice orb spawning far away and the orb is at safe place.

Otherwise all I can say is, you have to be perfect at that boss to get the achievement. You have to know exactly when to dodge so you don’t waste your endurance on panic dodges.

I finally got it last night as a Thief, best sense of accomplishment I’ve had in this game so far. Took me about 60 attempts, though 4 separate times I landed 8 orbs and had her at or below 10% health when I died. I was raging so hard by the end

Did it with 10/30/0/30/0 SB P/P. Signet of Malice, shadow step, assassin’s signet, signet of shadows, thieves guild.

A lot of points from the holiday/temporary events. Then monthlies and dailies. plus a whole crap ton from Hall of Monuments. I think you can only get like 6kish? by doing permanent achieves.

Got the achievement a few days back with my Thief. Since then done it on my Engie and Guardian. The key is to remember the patterns in phase 1 and 2. The orbs always spawn in only 2 location determined by its first spawn:

1. In the same location
2. 90 degree counter clockwise.

They also spawn at given times. This is important as once the pattern is memorised the the only rng is introduced by the orb pull so knowing where and when they spawn is key to a quick and clean kill.

Remember stay calm throughout the fight. Do not panic and dodge roll or do anything greedy. The orbs are there for a while once they spawn, so pick it up dodge if you are in the red and then throw. Liadri will always gap close to you so sometimes just throw at your feet an she walkes right into it.

The only concrete build parts you need are traits that give vigor and remove conditions, so look for the triat lines that do so and invest points into it.

P.S. Vanilla kill for Liadri is cake I have done is several times not to show people how it is done and if you need just whisper me ingame and if I am free I will be more than happy to help.

Got this a few days ago but I will admit the achievement counted with only 7 orbs, or at least I thought I only got 7 orbs. I did this on eng and she killed herself with retaliation. I can post a screen if people don’t believe me I am just too lazy, I am mostly curious how many people have pulled this off.

A few attempts before finally getting it, I lost with her on an entire empty health bar! No red in sight, was more than slightly cut haha. YEAH!

15-20 attempts on the initial 3 orb kill
120+ for 8 orbs.

Oh, sword/warhorn & longbow, full celestial armour/trinkets with soldier runes.

Done it as a thief, took me like 80 attempts.

Weapons: Pistol / dagger
Traits: 20 / 0 / 30 / 20/ 0

You can see my utilities on the screenshot. Basically my gear was mostly precision / crit damage, but for the purpose of this fight, I used poison utility + condition damage / duration food.

Best part of it was that during the fight I was sure that I had thrown only 7 orbs, so I kept Liadri at like 2% and was running after another one.

However, when I ve seen that npc starts to count 5,4,3 etc I thought that it is still better to kill her than to fall down and I shot her at LITERALLY ONE … and – BAM ACHIEV

I got it this morning:

http://youtu.be/gy56fSJ4dqw

Absolute craziness how many times I was on the verge of death and especially how I finished off Liadri as I was falling out of the Arena (lol!)

However, as I posted in another thread here, either the achievement tooltip is bugged and you only need 7 orb hits; or the achievement itself is bugged as I clearly missed hitting her with the 4th orb (as a vulnerability stack didn’t appear on her).

Or perhaps I did hit her but only ‘direct hits’ register the vulnerability stack?

I’ve since watched a few other Light Up The Darkness vids where folks miss her with orbs as well, and so something is going on…

Just got it tonight, completing my collection of gauntlet and jubilee achievements! Probably most satisfying achievement in the game so far (I’d share a screen, but don’t have much experience on the forum, lol XP).
As an inspiration to rangers who are having difficulty with this, it certainly is possible and with a trap condition ranger nonetheless. Keep trying and you’ll succeed (and lose a despicable amount of money XD).

Took me probably about 200 tickets, attempting after long days at work was mostly pointless. Liadri certainly earned a few choice descriptions to my guildies on mumble, but being able to yell kitten yes when i got this was totally worth it. In comparison to beating her, normally, she’s an easy fight, this achievement made it hard. Those wanting nerfs to her, really just need to keep learning the fight because she probably cost me over 300 tickets for beating her normally and this achievement. Hardest part is learning, watching a video helps, but only way to really get better against her is trial and error. Needless to say I never wanna fight her again, and I totally wouldnt mind a title for this achievement. The mini just for beating her is pretty sick though!
