We escorted Caithe’s peeps to the pickup location. My guildie and I did this one first before doing the other Here are a few suggestions based on my experience with a Thanks so much for this guide! It’s very appreciated!

SWORD OF THE NECROMANCER ACHIEVEMENTS PATCH

This was the case before the Nov 5 patch but might have been fixed. Note that it might be still possible to transfer boons to a vortex crystal and not fail the achievement. Remember that when you get a crystal vortex inside a color beam, you will need to get the color buff from the summoned facet and the 1 HP buff to remove it or you will get knocked back. You can use transfer the 1 HP fragility buff to the vortex crystals to damage them and the boss as this is not considered a buff. You can either do this by modifying your traits/weapon/sigils/runes skills to not give you any buff or just watch your buff bar and don’t stand next to a vortex crystal when you got buffs. This achievement requires you to not give boon to the vortex crystals. The 1 HP buff is only given out when Facet of Darkness does his massive AoE attack. If you kill all 8 vortex crystals within 15s, you will kill the Facet of Darkness and get the achievement. Once all 8 crystals have the buff, simply kill all of them as fast as possible. The trick is to give all 8 vortex crystal the 1 HP buff but do not attack them until they all have the buffs. This make this achievement very frustrating for mesmers.Įasy achievement if you know the trick. Unfortunately for mesmers, your illusions are killed immediately on summon since they do not receive the immunity buff. This will allow you to run into the big AoE field around Facet of Light and damage him. Once you have the red color buff, run into the red color beam to receive the damage immunity buff. If it ports to red, kill it for the red buff. If it ports to green or blue, keep it alive. Thus, you can just keep the summon facet alive and see which color beam it ports to. If it teleports to the red color beam, it will give red color buff when killed. If you don’t kill the facet, it will keep teleport around to different color beams to gain that immunity buff. There is a little trick with the summoned facet to save time. You can only use the red buff for this achievement which means that when the summoned facet spawns and give blue or green buff you can’t do anything. The Facet of Light spawn mini summoned facets that give a color buff when killed. This achievement isn’t hard at all but very time consuming if RNG is not with you. The stuns in melee are easy to avoid as long you don’t stand in his telegraphs. It seems to me to be easier if you melee him as he doesn’t pull you as frequently (when he pulls you, he reach out his arm and you need to dodge immediately). If you have stability you should use it as it will help a lot for the achievement. The goal of this achievement is to defeat the Facet of Strength without being stunned or grabbed.

This is a really long instance but luckily there are motes next to each boss to retry the achievement without redoing the instance. Once the choppers come, you will get the achievement at end of the cutscene. The NPCs with Caithe that get revived can die and they will not affect the outcome of the achievement. Instead, follow the rocks to the right to the next Mordrem corpse and the NPCs will disappear (if they don’t plane the mine on the corpse).Once these two initial NPCs are gone, this achievement is pretty much done.

Once you reach Caithe’s squad, do not rush in to the fight immediately. Don’t let the NPCs engage the wolves at all, just use mines to kill them all. Use the Mordrem corpses and mine them to kill the Mordrem wolves quickly as they can kill these two guards. Do not get yourself killed either in this first portion of the instance since that seems to fail the achievement as well. The goal of this achievement is to prevent the Vigil Guardsman and the Vigil Marksman that escort you from the start of the instance from dying (Canach is invul and cannot be killed). This achievement has been fixed and now works. The achievement is granted at end of the instance when you need to hop on the chopper. The achievement pops up as soon all 10 corpses are mined so you can relog right after to do it again for the other achievements.ĭon’t touch any of the corpses this round and you should get the achievement easy.
