Guild Wars 2

I never saw a post here referring to the bug so I thought I’d throw it out for people to see. Basically, the Jade Maw stops spawning jade colossi when you kill it before killing the requisite number of colossi. My group had 1 tentacle left after killing the Maw so keep that in mind when you fight it.

Also, yes, the bug was reported by the whole team.

is it even possible to kill it before finishing them? (without using tentacle GS-5 pull trick)

my guess is the bug is there as you used a trick that got you enough crystals to avoid the 2nd phase change (and also 2nd round of agony) that you encountered a situation that the code isn’t prepared to handle (as it should be able to happen with the standard 1 crystal each).

That’s interesting!

Are the issues after killing Jade Maw during the first phase considered bugs when you have to use bugs to even be able to kill it during the first phase?

I’m surprised the guardian trick hasn’t been fixed yet though but if Arenanet does fix it then it won’t have to fix the bugs for killing Jade Maw earlier than I’m assuming intended.

We ran in, killed all but 1 tentacle while bringing all the crystals to one location. I don’t know about any bugs about it, but as soon as the Jade Maw was killed, we went for the last tentacle except it didn’t spawn any jade Colossi.

the boss is what spawns the Jade Colossi, not the tentacles. you can kill all of the tentacles before finishing the Jade’s off and not have any issues, but killing the boss would likely stop the ability of them to spawn.

My group experienced this feature.

Watching Maw just chill there while we were getting our NO RINGS or RINGS WITH kitten STATS was kinda fun.

I just joined a party asking for help with a bug, and they were in the same situation as you guys. Jade Maw was dead and they still needed colossi kills, i guess the bug is not fixed 2 years later.
