Guild Wars 2

As already mentioned, you still need the drop from the chest. So cheesing the water would not trivialize the collection. If it’s intended, it would have been nice to know it before.

Hi,

we killed Matthias today. Because we wanted to do wing1 afterwards, I switched the char without looking for the Vial of Forsaken Sicket Waters. After we finished, I reopened my cleared instance to look for that water and the other stuff, just to realize, that this water is not there.

So I looked for some information on the wiki or reddit, just to find a hint at reddit, that I (expressed friendly) don’t like: The Water is just there after the kill, not later.

I think… the “Gate” of the Drop from Matthias Chest should be enough, or not? Tell me, that this is a bug.

Greetings

Sounds strange, but when you enter the room, don’t go for the right (north on map) ooze. Try the left (south on map) ooze.

We had 2 people in our team, who didn’t get it more then 5 times on the right side. They made sure to not touch the fire. They also waited mostly on the door, while we did this part with 3 people, but helped a little bit on the first part of the right side. They never got it there. With mesmer, ranger, guardian or whatever they brought there.
Only after they did it on the left side, they got it on the first try, without changing anything. I think there is a hidden place on the right near the ooze spawn, which is killing the achievement. Only one of now up to 8 people got it on the right side.

Good luck

Finally… I did it. Don’t know how, because I predicted some of his skills correctly and sometimes closed my eyes. My tactic didn’t changed from first to last try. But nevertheless, it’s extremely frustrating. Far more luck based than Cra(p)btacular.

Man… I had a hard time to not spam and flame like a little boy that lost his lollypop. Can’t remember when I was ever so frustrated. Hopefully you all get lucky as well.

Paul… seriously… it’s ok that Adnul is difficult… but remember.. it’s a game. Yeah, mostly frustrated persons like me get that answer. “It’s just a game. Take a break.”
I know that… but I don’t know if some of you guys at Arenanet know it. It’s a game… not work. Try to differentiate between a challenge… and … pure frustration. If Adnul would just use Belch and Water on recast, it would be harder but predictable. If he wouldn’t use his critique as much as possible, it would be easier. With both, it would be as difficult as it is currently, but more predictable. Not that this would be a complete solution or what, but everything would be better than the current.

But to be a little bit positive: Thanks for the answer, Paul! It’s not that often, that I see this. :-/

<frustration>
WTB a QA team! Having a good QA team: priceless! That’s by far not the first time. But of course they fixed Mangos first… not him. What would GW2 without frustration?! -.-

Thanks for a completely ruined evening A-Net. Maybe I should stop supporting you and not buying Gems anymore. Not that this would help here… but I don’t feel like supporting this crap is good.

Can’t beat him. Tried too many times. Two times it was very close, but hadn’t enough luck to finish him. This is really not about skill. Show me just one video of anyone, who can beat him twice in a row or otherwise it’s proved luck. All other guys are stupidly easy compared to this one.
I don’t know (and also I don’t care) if it’s just because of the bugs, that the others stated here, or the insane difficulty. It’s just frustrating… no way that this is fun for anyone out there.

Fix it! Today! And btw: cancel that 14 day cycle. I want QUALITY… not quantity!
ty.. have a nice day.. or not… don’t care anymore…
</frustration>

Mark Katzbach.9084:

What you need to do is avoid being hit by Horrik’s cannon fire during the barrage phase of the final boss battle.

So, getting hit by Horrik’s attacks while fighting Mai and Horrik on the ground don’t count against this achievement.

Also, during the barrage phases, other cannons besides Horrik’s are shooting AoE cannon fire. Those other cannon blasts also don’t count against this achievement.

Thank you! Hopefully this will work tommorow for me. :-)

Ikoh.7280:

I want to thank you very much sir. My team and I switched toons at the end of the dungeon, when only Horrik was left, and we all got the achievement (except the one who launched the dungeon of course).

How exactly did you do that? I tried it one hour ago, but didn’t get my achievement. We got to 25% and after the barrage phase I switched the char. But I couldn’t get to the fight in time (also the doors were closed), because we also done the 15min thing (yes, worked easily). Maybe I have to do some damage after switching? But the doors are closed?! Or do I have to completely logout and login (or close whole GW2)?

Anyway, I will first try the official tactic. Thank god there are so many teams, that need someone on the last boss. ;-)

As stated in one of the other Threads in this forum, I think the cannon-phase doesn’t count. I think, you have to avoid all of Horriks attacks from start to end. But as everyone else, I’m not sure.

Because my runs with pugs yesterday (I can only play on evening, central europe time) were not really successful in regards to this Achievement, I have no further information. Maybe we all can gather some more detailed information (instead of only complaining ^^), what we have done and if we got the Achievement or not.

It would be easier, if a dev could just answer, but I currently don’t rely on that. With a clear information we could help on finding a possible bug.

Here my old post with some (strange) investigation:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/skypirates/Personal-Space-achievement/first#post2290078 (excuse my poor english )

I’m also wondering how this works. Completed the dungeon yesterday four times and also got the Faster Than Light Achievement, but couldn’t figure out, which AoE-fields are counting for Personal Space.

Just to clarify before my wall of text:
cannon AoE (were Mai and Horrik go away) != gun AoE

The first run with randoms was a complete fail for this achievement.
The second run with friends was better, but I’m not sure, if I got a hit of one of the AoE cannon fields or gun AoEs.

The third run was nearly perfect. But it was strange. Let me explain it:
We all got hit by a AoE cannon, for sure. We thought we failed, but just concentrated on the fight. We ensured that we were not hit by one of Horriks gun AoEs (fire or lightning field). I’m mostly sure, I wasn’t hit by his gun, but had to dodge one time, were a “evaded” popped up. On of us died completely in the fight, hit by multiple things (but maybe not by a gun AoE). Another guy rezzed our dead friend and got ONE hit from his gun, but blocked it. Now the strange: The dead girl get her achievement. The block guy get his achievement. Another one, who had the most aggro, also got it. I didn’t get it.

In the fourth try, we thought that dulfy may be right and the achievement counts, when you fight Horrik alone. So we all maked sure, we got NO hit from his gun on that last fight. We lowered him before, were Mai Trin was alive and I got one stupid projectile hit, because I was in melee. But on that last fight with Horrik alone, I got no hit! Again, I had to dodge and got an “evaded”, but no hit! I’m sure, because he was dead in a few seconds.

In all four fights we got hit by one or multiple of the cannon AoE, but only some uf us got a hit from his gun by accident. Only three of us got the Achievement.

I think you have to evade all of his gun AoE and the cannon AoE doesn’t count. But it could also be, that all AoEs are counting and it was bugged, like with the Lion’s Arch Fireworks. We will try more in the next days. Hopefully I get this Achievement. :-)

Off-Topic: I like the dungeon! ;-)

Just to be on the “list”: Same thing here.

Master of Overkill, Lifetime Survivor and some Slayer Achievements, which are mostly redone by now, are reduced by 1.
Also the Pumpkin Carver is completly empty (Title still exists), but that’s from the January Update as others stated already. Last but not least, the Hints Achievement (82/83 with all Hints checked), which is by far the oldest Bug.

So nothing “new” here.

Same thing here. I’m not sure, but I thought I did this many times before the January Update and it worked. I hoped for another rare Flame Legion Book from the Mystic Forge, but now I have a priceless invisible Book of Nothing. Well… hopefully it gets fixed faster then… mhh.. everything else. :-S

Thanks for more then 8 hours wasted in this crap (switched multiple team mates, classes, tactics…. done sparks in ~10s… and I was the only one, who didn’t already finished path 4)! I suggest you to switch your QA team completely. Most of the things they confirm are completely bugged or way too easy… and then we have SE path1, which isn’t doable without certain classes or a trick, that isn’t by design (aoe killing the golem from another safepoint)… and… this one. Look into this, NOW! I don’t want another hatchery bug. Not speaking about the shadow behemoth, which is buggy since release!

There are some suggestions in the thread below (and also linked in the first post), stating that this Event runs onetime after a server reset/update. That’s why it works sometimes and on some servers, I think. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/events/Swamp-lies-dormant-Anyone-seen-Shadow-Behemoth-lately/first#post746686
I hope this helps the devs, if they didn’t already seen this. ;-)

Haven’t seen him ever after the release. I waited multiple hours (~6h) on a day and asked my girlfriend to AFKing him (she is sitting next to me), when she doesn’t play, so that I can see when he comes. But we still never saw him in the last weeks. Also there weren’t any prequests or something like that. The swamp lies always dormant, which is now an insider in my guild.
If these resets were not at night in Germany, I would have been there to finish him.

I lost about 1200 points. That should be all my daily and monthly points. Hopefully they come back, otherwise I will never ever login directly after an update again. :-/

Also the last 30 minutes are gone. I’ve finished my daily, got my reward, cleaned half of my inv and wanted to go to lion’s arch. Than, after the update, this was gone. Because it’s 0:42 now in my country I don’t want to redo the 4 events and go to bed.

This one daily isn’t very important, but these achievement points are. Please give them back! :P

Yes! I can completely confirm these suggestions.

I’ve just got my achievement. It was awesome, because I had to encourage a lot of people to kill the champion risen captain twice. After this, the event chain started with a little delay. It wasn’t easy to keep these sceptical guys and ask for patience

Thank you Jeffrey! That’s how I want to be informed on bugs like this!

I’ve also ran into this problem one or two weeks ago and reported it. Now, with this information, I thought it’s time to write here, just to say this. Please be as detailed as you did now, when it comes to a bigger delay of fixes.
