"Who's In Charge Here?" issue
I have done aetherpath at least 20 times in the last few weeks, all with the aim to get this achiev, and every time my team pulls it off perfectly, with no one dying, and the boss dying first, and I have never gotten the achievment. Is this a known issue or what?
Just did it about a week ago; got the achievement. It takes the party’s leader really knowing exactly what to do (and what not to do). Ours had us do specific things and I followed those directions.
So I don’t think the chieve is bugged so much as the in-game description isn’t clear enough and/or the actual mechanics are hard to explain to a group.
John Smith: “you should kill monsters, because killing monsters is awesome.”
they are pretty experienced guild leaders. a group without me ran it today and the two leaders were present and did everything exactly the same as when we run it together, and two newbies got their achievment for that.
what are the specifics that are maybe why we are getting it wrong?
This is how I always do it:
1) Turn right when you enter the big area.
2) Run towards the corner and get behind that pipe thing (or whatever).
3) There are some enemies between you and Spur, pull them behind corner and kill.
4) Pull Spur behind corner and kill.
5) Kill remaining enemies.
My friends and I always fight him underneath the pipe you drop into the room from. We wait for the Steamwatcher to get close kill it. Then stay in that corner so you don’t pull more mobs (there should only be a handful or less that pull with Spur). One person runs along the side of the room, aggros Spur and brings him to the pipe. I have run it this way about a dozen times and anyone who needs the achievement gets it, even when the whole group wiped once.
I’ve heard you have to have at least one Aetherblade from each row alive when Spur dies in order to pop the achievement.
