Guild Wars 2

The achievement is currently bugged , i’ve killed all the chak in the pit, got the first two achievements ( beginner and expert ) but not the last.

Update: I went and tried it again after i read and heard from people that if you die you don’t get the achievement even if you kill everything, after i tried it yesterday i got the achievement (without dying) with 4-5 chak left in the pit, so it’s abit buggy or the text is not worded right.

its bugged for me,,,,,, i did this 4 times in a row,,,,,, i killed all chakin the pit, got the adept and expert but not the one for cleaning the whole pit,,,,, also in heart of thorn act 2 the AVOID TRAP achievement is bugged.

It also bugged for me.

Took a couple friends and I 3 tries to get Chak Master. I think sometimes, some of the Chak bug into the walls and become untargetable.

I also had this bug. Tries it 4 or 5 times. Me and my friends killed every chak in the pit and didnt get achievement.
Probably, they were hiding in walls, but we coudnt find anything.
Also, there is a way to brake the map and go under the textures (into the water). Going there makes walls invisible, but we still didn’t find any chaks left in the walls.

Also bugged for me. I got Beginner and Expert. Two of the Chak I found inside the walls. I managed to pull them with Chrono wells and Greatsword #5. And even after I cleared the whole room and killed those two that I found inside the wall I could still hear that gurgling sound that the chak make. When I left that pit the sound became quieter and quieter. So I got back, tried to find it by sound but wasn’t possible. So yeah, one (or more) of them beg stuck somewhere in a wall. Maybe even on the ceiling?

Same issue here. What a waste of time to kill all of these. QA is lacking :/

Did it with some guildies today, four times total. One of my guildies got it, the rest of the group did not. Not sure what the bug is to this achievement.

if you read the other two achievements, it says “you’ve killed 10 chak before being overcome”. Maybe you have to do it without dying/going down? i wasnt able to get it either.

Just tried, the achievement is still bugged. Might be the Chak be able to break/escape the pit area when they run off on low hp? Notice one ran into a wall and became obstructed but managed to kill it with AoE.

I went down once doing it solo but still managed to get the other two achievements.

Pretty sure you need to tag them all and Braham is occasionally capable of killing one by himself. Thanks for the help Braham! >_>

Last achivevement i miss in this act, tried 4 times, no luck =( =( =( fixxx please

It bugged for me too. I did it solo and killed every chak in the cave, I even went around and tried to AoE near the walls and didn’t tag anything in the walls (although there was one stuck in a wall earlier that I’d noticed and killed with AoE).

Please fix this achievement.

Not sure how helpful this will be but on my 3rd try I got the achievement without even killing all of the Chat, there was about 4-5 left. The difference between the 3rd and the first two was that I didn’t die and didn’t pull any out of the pit to kill.
Not sure if that info is useful or not.

Just tried this with one other person in my party and we cleared out the entire room, and received no achievement for master… I did not die or go down. We didn’t pull them farther than the ramp that goes up to where you killed the boss.

I just got Chak Killer master and got downed a few times…. had a few left over but I finished them off.

killed all chak. didn’t get achievement

9 tries, allways some in wall, different parties, different numbers… rage!

Still bugged, so much time wasted…

Still waiting for this to be fixed, myself. I worked towards this achievement with my bf, he luckily got it but I killed the same mobs with him and never received it. Then again, ive noticed tones of the achievements in this expansion are bugged to crap, still waiting on two to be fixed in prisoners of the dragon too despite sending out tickets…

I feel the need to chime in, I was able to obtain this achievement after finally killing out a bunch without dying; though, getting downed was fine. I also would like to mention, there were still 3 vets chak letf, 2 shield ones and 1 lobber, and 4-5 little chak left. I recommend doing this slowly if going for it before it’s fixed, also careful with the lobbers, if you get the tenth stack of goo on you while downed, I believe it just kills you instantly.

From what I’ve gathered apparently lobbers can finsih you off when you are downed. Like you can finish off players in PvP.

I got this achievement today, solo and without dying. I failed at the first try because I died but the achievement marker was still displayed. Please note I got it when I killed the last veteran, a few standard mobs were still alive.

I killed all of the Chak, and it is still bugged

Anet, please fix this so I don’t have to waste 45 minutes again.

Thank you.

I got it with another person, taking it slow and both of us killing them basically one by one.

Each person has to hit everything to get credit. There were more than enough to complete the achieve.

When first tried, there were 3 of us killing everything there, all we got was the first achieves, not the last one.

Still bugged, no credit.

Still bugged… This is laughable. Not to mention highly unprofessional.

Still bugged… myself and several other guildies have sent multiple reports over the last two months to fix this. I have tried this achievement alone 14 times now. I am starting to lose faith that ANET is doing or going to do anything about this. They should take this achievement out all together as it is impacting achievement progress. Greatly disappointed in the lack of technical support.

@Mgedik: what you have tried? What did Customer Service say in response to your support ticket? It’s hard to offer specific advice without knowing what the specifics are.

Lunacy Solacio’s got a great description of the key factor: making sure you hit everything and taking it slow. Plus, as mentioned above, a few might get stuck behind the wall towards the end; you aggro them with AoE and they’ll (eventually) come out.

Just tried this with my girlfriend and few other people. We ran the instance 3 times, each time clearing everything and making sure nothing bugged. She got it, the 4 of us couldn’t get it no matter what. She also said she got it before we even cleared the last little mobs, suggesting only the veterans matter? Not really sure, didn’t make any sense.

Each person has to get personal credit for 40 kills; there are generally more than 40 mobs (although as noted, typically a few might get stuck behind a wall). Some people think you cannot get credit if you die — although might be a function of not getting credit for kills while dead.

Taking it slow seems to be the best strategy, along with everyone bringing spammable AoE of some sort, so they get credit for each kill.

This is still broken. Killed all Chak and didnt get it.

Still broken. I’ve tried it with a party, cleared the room 3 times after jumping in. If we’re doing something wrong, maybe we need a progress indicator so we can double check the kills? I need the mastery points!

Still bugged!!!! Wasting 1hr of my time.. KITTEN

It is still bugged Solo’ed it didnt get downed or killed ,killed every single Chak in that hole ran around and killed everything I could find in the entire instance still nothing yet sombody from my guild did it with me after and got the Master tier before half of the Chak were killed

It’s not about killing ‘all’ – it’s about killing 40. Unfortunately, there’s no counter, so it’s hard to tell just how many the game thinks you’ve destroyed.

Regardless of whether it’s bugged or not, it’s at best wonky and confusing and should be adjusted so it’s neither.

Since release I’ve tried this one at least 5 times and I’m just not bothering anymore. I’ll wait till they anounce a fix or I see it scroll by on reddit/forums. All the effort of trying can just as well go into killing Gerent and getting those Eggs to buy skins >_<

If you get downed at all, you will not be able to get the achievement. I had no issues doing it months ago and got it my first time that I went for it.

I got it after being downed — I think it might be that it’s hard to credit for 40+ kills if you go down, i.e. going down isn’t the direct cause, it just reduces your opportunities to kill 40.

I was casually going for it that first week and did not get it when I went down. I repeated it again without getting downed and got it. I was solo both times and Braham did not kill anything while I was downed. He actually glitched below and got stuck on something.

This still appears to be bugged, I’ve done it twice, cleared the room without dying, and haven’t gotten the third Master achievement. You can still hear chak noises in the arena, but it’s hard to tell where they might be in the walls (or if it’s just an ambient noise for the area).

I have the same problem as for example Kilnarak.6705. Cleared it 3 times (once alone) and still can’t get achievement. In my case random chaks are sometimes half or less with their body in walls, environment objects and I think rather should not appear like this way and now I think some of them are maybe under textures?

Some time ago there was a bug in Vexa Lab related with collision. Is there a chance that is somehow connected? Quote from that topic writed by Gameplay Programmer BillFreist
Reference https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Vexa-s-Lab/first"

“I nailed down what was causing this, it wasn’t just something with this specific spawn. The problem was related to the cage that the spawn goes in. There was a problem with the way we enable/disable the collision for the cage when the dude would get released at the end of the event. Ultimately this was preventing the area inside the cage from being ‘spawn-able’.
I’m sure this same bug was causing all sorts of other random failures across the game.”

In this area is really easy to stuck in a wall, it happend to me 2/3 times and once to one of my teammate during clearing chak area.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

You have to kill them without dieing/downing and you must be alone in the instance

Mel.3064:

You have to kill them without dieing/downing and you must be alone in the instance

You can down; you can’t die. You can have other people in the instance, it’s just harder to make sure you succeed.

The goal is to kill a fixed number of chak. Just like beginner and expert, you can kill more. The reason the achievement is so wonky is that you get barely enough chak to succeed, so it you miss some for various reasons (see below), you won’t complete the achievement.

And there are many reasons why you might not get ‘credit’. You need to get the “killing blow”, which means that if someone else helps by killing chak, you’re out of luck. Chak that die due to secondary conditions also don’t always count — the condition gets the kill, but you don’t.

And of course, it’s possible that one or more chak might spawn inside a wall, making it hard for you to find/target them. There’s probably a couple of other reasons, too.

That said, plenty of people have completed the achievement despite the issues. You can fail a lot; you only have to succeed once. So my advice is: don’t hold your breath waiting for ANet to simplify this (even though there are so many ways they could).

Practical Advice

• To deal with “hidden” chak, bring a character with access to spammable AoE damage that doesn’t require “line of sight” — the ideal choice is guardian staff. Use that when you run out of visible chak. (Tempest overloads and reaper shroud and such should also work, but it might take longer to tag the chak.)
• To deal with other people getting credit: — let your friends buff or heal you; don’t let them fight.
• To deal with accidental death via conditions: stick to lower DPS power builds.
• To deal with chak dying too quickly: same, stick to lower DPS power builds.

It’s been a while since I walked anyone through this, but when I did (about half dozen folks), this always worked (once it took two tries).

tl;dr slow & steady, use staff guardian (if you can) to find hidden foes

Thanks for advices. Finally I was able to achieve this.
