Guild Wars 2

Any guardians have a good strat to do this one?

Ive tried hammer knock away but he keeps spawning more near him

would love to hear as well. : )) was planning to use scepter/torch for high single target and burst damage, thinking that would be the way to go. since most of our other weapons that deal a lot of damage are all AoE and cleave. don’t exactly have a specific build in mind yet though.

haven’t gotten to fight him yet. do the spawned oozes attack as well or just heal him?

Would also love to know this is where I am currently stuck. I beat him but refuse to move on until I am able to get this achievement.

haha KOPPER, i am the same. :// stubborn like that.
good luck! can’t wait to get home hit upt he Gauntlet again.

atm I’m having problems just killing him… on initial burst I take 1/4 of his hp and then he gets armor or something? ideas for me?

finished it after about 10 different attempts with various weapons, and this was how i was able to finally get the achievement on my guardian.

weapon: sword/shield (keep up most of the time) and focus (last resort)
utility: shield of the avenger (must have), “hold the line!” (helped a lot)
gear: zerker/knights (boon duration runes)
build: 0/20/30/10/10 for sword damage, AH, shouts recharge, and spirit weapon uptime

tip: don’t use anything that grants retaliation or reflection. only use projectile absorption abilities.

1. cause the boss to drift/nudge itself around the room by stepping into the front of the enemy hitbox and angle your character to direct the boss’s movement. doing so will leave the new oozes behind you, so you are free to autoattack the crap out of the big guy.

2. use shield 5 to push the boss away from large groups of oozes while giving you some time to soak up damage if your health falls low. use focus 5 while shield is on CD for the extra blocks if you are about to be downed.

3. use consumables like food and other stuff to give you that extra bit you might need if you are still struggling.

I’m still struggling with the pirate crew

Try Healway (mix in soldier’s, zerker, or knight’s somewhere) and just leave the gunner up for last. I pretty much destroyed them.

yep finally got it, thanks Six

I did shield and bow spirits and hold the line, with the reaper human elite to stop his regen near the end

sword/shield

I got him first try with a full glass cannon MF build: bumped him backwards with the shield and just pummelled him in the face with a GS with lots of AoE blind until he was dead.

Had to dodge alot but I did get downed at the last moment and had to rally off an Ooze – no acheivement for me

I might go back and try a more considered approach ( with SoA ) later.

I got this while doing 5 gambits at once XP. I did it using 30/30/0/0/10 and taking all the spirit weapon traits except CD reduction and taking +10% on flaming targets instead. I used the hammer, sword, shield and hounds of balthazar and just nuked him while using scepter and focus. Near the end I jumped in and whirling wrathed him, got downed and beamed him to death.

The hammer was great because it kept knocking him away from his spawns.

Hey thanks I used your build for 5 gambit, worked like a charm

I used mace/shield. Mace third hit only hits a single target. Shield 5 is a pushback as you know. Used hold the line and save yourselves for lots o’ protection in addition to shield 4 and virtue of courage trait active.
