Guild Wars 2

Statue of Melandru (Hero Challenge)
Graven Kay, Cursed Shore (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Statue_of_Melandru_)

The ‘corrupted altar’ bramble effect continues to happen even after the temple of Melandru is cleansed and the statue becomes uncontested. Effect causes bleeding damage, interrupting channel of Hero Point.

The Hero Point is effectively unobtainable.
/bug reported in game

I hope this is fixed soon since many players are currently obsessed with Hero Point farming for HoT…

I remember this one from when i did map completion and i am ….pretty sure there was actually a different temple you had to uncontest to get that statue working right. Alternatively you could use something that makes you invulnerable or get like 4 guardian friends to keep giving you aegis

although its a melandru statue its grenth that needs to be open to get it.

Just 1 thief with shadow refuge is fine.

It is a bug. Sometimes it is “working” when the Grenth temple is contested and stops working once the temple is captured too.

I am guessing the bug is caused by the fact that it is associated with the Grenth temple by proximity but Melandru temple because of the god and as the two temples in the same zone change state the statue gets toggled into a weird mess. The correct thing would be to just track one of the temples’ status.
