Today I tried to acquire the No More Tricks achievement at the Scarlet’s Prime Hologram event. Note that I don’t mind the challenge, but I do mind if it’s not working properly…
During these attempts I sometimes got hit by the laser (or by any other attack from Scarlet), which does not trigger the achievement. That part is working fine.
To me the fight is done in 3 parts:
- Part 1: Hologram shoots Prime Light Beams
- Part 2: Hologram splits in 3 sub-holograms
- Part 3: The apparition of mini-bomb holograms
The issue I’m having is always at the start of Part 2. On several occasions you get hit by a ‘prime light beam’ attack a few seconds after the holograms popped in. Below are two screenshots that show this occurring. The combat text log reads: Unknown hits you for xxx using Prime Light Beam
At Screenshot #1 (warrior) I got hit by Scarlet attack (but not the one from the hologram) attack, which would possibly disqualify me from obtaining the achievement. However, in my most recent attempt (Elementalist – Screenshot #2), I’m very positive I did not get hit by any other attack at all during all 3 phases. We even cleaned out all mini holograms at the last phase, so the big laser did not get triggered at all! However, once again at the start of Phase 2, once the holograms spawned into place, Unknown hits me using PLB and in the end the achievement did not trigger.
Possible explanations could be lag, etc. But if that would be the case, then there should not be an ‘unknown’ in the combat log, since all damage done by the Prime Hologram to you is labelled as such! Therefore I think this is a bug.
If this was/is an intended mechanic, then I will rest my case! q:
