Guild Wars 2

The Champion Giant Branded Devourer in the Fields of Ruin does not spawn and is nowhere to be found while the group event “Defeat the giant branded devourer” shows up on the HUD.

The event will show up on screen while getting close to the point of interest “Wreckage of Doomspy’s watch”. Even with the group event active, the boss enemy icon does not appear to be on the mini map.

Notes: This has prevented me from collecting the Branded Devourer Ichor for the Legendary collection HOPE IV: The Catalyst. Also in the Iron Marches map, I cannot obtain the Branded Devourer Ichor because an event leading up to the Champion Branded Devourer Queen is bugged and cannot progress due to an AI becoming stuck in place.

Added a video just in case https://youtu.be/5kAsvEl0iEk

Edit Update: I managed to obtain the Branded Devourer Ichor from the Branded Devourer Queen in Iron Marches since the latest patch reset the event that was bugged. However, the Champion Giant Branded Devourer in the Fields of Ruin still has the same issue.

yeah same here 2 days now waiting and waiting ………..any idea to overcome it?

Nope, and I would like to point out to the devs that this bug is a progression blocker and should be fixed ASAP. I’ve spent real money to be able to complete the HOPE tier collections as fast as possible but now I can’t. They may as well just remove the requirement to kill the Branded Devourer Queen in my opinion to prevent further issues.

I totally agree with you Remove it PLZ!!!!!!! it frustrating us ,we spend real money for this DO something anet!

I have the same problem with you guys. It’s quite awful having done everything and waiting only for this thing..something should be done to circumvent this buggy requirement and,maybe,remove the event altogether since it’s proven pretty buggy in the past as well…

I am working on Hope IV collection and cannot get the Branded Devourer Ichor since both events to obtain it are bugged. Please provide some sort of fix. Maybe de-spawn the Giant Branded Devourer occasionally? It just sits there invisible all day.

I’m in the same boat. It’s literally the only thing I’m missing now.

Same. Please, please, PLEASE fix this.

This bug still occurs. Please fix! It’s stopping me from progressing the Hope IV collection.

Hi, i on the same boat as everyone else. I needed it for HOPE…
Also wondering why this issue persist till now.

I opened a ticket 3 days ago no reply…I have everything to craft my legendary i worked for but can’t do it because of a repeated failed design. Does Anet even care about this anymore?!???

really need an update & fix on this, this is also the only thing I’m missing from the collection now, devs please look into this and fix asap

My friend and I are in the same boat
Looking through the forums it looks like the only people who have succeeded recently (within the last year), have been lucky to catch it after a server reset :/
Not exactly regular and accessible …
Please can you source a new drop location, perhaps the Legendary Giant Bloodstone Devourer in Silverwastes, as you seem unable to fix the current 2 events that this progression blocker is tied to.

I’m having this same problem. I was really hoping to get HOPE (hah) before the xpac drops, but if they don’t fix it I guess I’m out of luck. Please fix this ANet! I’ve been working on this legendary for almost a year now!
