Grenth
there is definitely something bugged about the Grenth event now… pretty ridiculous.
Grenth is nearly impossible at the moment.
Oblyth, Mes ~ Nadeshiko Naito, War ~ Hwertu, Gua
Evenree, Necro (M) ~ Ran Still Died, Thief
his OHKO is ridiculous, it can cover literally the entire room he’s in AND the stairs all at the same time, failed it twice because we literally could not get close to the NPC to protect him, and getting to the portal to kill the shades was nigh impossible without some people sacrificing themselves and having to run all the way back.
Grenth was hard to begin with, then they went and made it impossible for the giggles. It was hard mainly because most of the people on the map weren’t there to do the event, thus making it have unnecessarily excess of mobs.
I don’t know if all dies the same way. I die instantly, but it looks like I fall from big height and die because of that. and no armor has been damaged as it was real falling death.
Never ever open this temple before though, so don’t know is it usual behavior or not.
The vortex that pulls you to the roof and drops you for lethal fall damage definitely needs reconsidering, at the moment they are FAR to wide and far to often and last far too long.
Most of the time you can’t dodge out of them because they cover the entire floor for an extended period of time
We spent over 3 hours on him and never could kill him. I will say the jokes being sad were funny though lol.
as someone who recently killed it with this irritating change to the encounter, all i’m going to say is be mindful of the dual stack of coffins on the west wall, and hopefully you’ll have enough ppl willing to stand back with the npc and protect it while a small group stacks on you to work down grenth’s health since the rest of the people around probably won’t be able to reach him without dying to the new death fall mechanic.
using cheese tactics that border on exploitation shouldn’t be necessary though
much rather they fix it so that there’s some actual hope of dodging the patches that doesn’t involve being really lucky with how there placed.
I agree that this temple event is probably bugged. A group of around 15-20 of us tried last night and were insta-wiped by the Priest of Grenth. Just picked up, dropped from the ceiling and boom… death.

cool as Jason ty for the reply
Even after the bug fixes from last night Grenth is still almost impossible to take.
Aaaand Grenth is once again bugged. Every couple of seconds a player gets teleported to a seemingly random location above the ground suffering huge damage hitting the ground, sometimes enough to go from full health to defeated state right away. This is not even a fight anymore, it’s random application of death penalty.
EDIT: The problem still persists and seems to affect everyone with those newly arisen connection problems (Germany, Telekom and 1&1 customers mainly, tracert shows massive latency and data loss between servers and Telekom data center). No red circles or red circles after you are already in the air. At this rate the event is simply not playable for those affected.
