Bjora: Where is Koda Trial "Koda be praised/Plant Banners ..."?

where in Bjora Marches is the Trail of Koda challenge for "Plant Banners to Challenge the Svanir" from "Koda Be Praised" from S5E2.

I have tried three svanir-koda-trials

  • in a small cave (the third split-cave of the Drakkar fight) north-east of POI "Deny of Whispers" (it starts usually a few minutes after the drakkar fight)
  • in the cave at POI "Cavern of the Lost sons"
  • near POI "Bear shrine" (in north-east corner of the map)

None of them completed the achievement and I do not see other koda-trials with Svanir in the map.

Thanks a lot for a little help. :)

From the Wiki Koda be PraisedThe trial "Plant Banners to Challenge the Svanir" requires events that disrupt patrols called "Defeat the patrolling xx" - Sons of Svanir/ Aberrant etc with a Trial Icon. The achievement name and the event are completely different which makes it quite confusing.The requirement is to obtain essences from the corpses by stomping them, but there is a timer, which is why you need stomp the corpses before killing the last enemy.

This event has several spawn locations around the map but the locations in the SW of West Bjora Marches, in the Whipsering Depths, I found I couldnt find a way to access the spawns there - as per my thread How to get to event/trial in Whispering Depths

I finally got the achievement when I saw the Trial icon pop in Aesgir's Legacy south of the Gates of Svanir poi, the beginning of the Storms of Winter meta .

Fixed an issue in which the "Defeat the patrolling Fallen / Sons of Svanir / Aberrant enemies" events would sometimes not increment progress toward the "Koda Be Praised" achievement.

From

So, it seems, it is fixed now.

No not really I just tried it no progress possible the mobs don't t drop the essence. This event has a 10/10 of ultra annoyance

I got this one with the aberrant patrol. And if I remember right I didn’t get the achievement before I found some horn and used it. Dunno if that was a coincidence or if that’s cause it’s buggy but it was then it popped up on my screen. I didn’t get it at first after I stomped them and then saw the horn when trial was ready

This thread really helped. I just camped east Bjora. I did the non-trial escort near Bear, the non-trial Svanir escort near Asgeir, then the trial version popped in the forest. My reaper was super squish in it thanks to the boss setting up circles I had to stand in and then fixating on me, but thanks to another person who came to help we got it done. 2 achieves to go for /shiver!

As a note the other player arrived while I was whittling down the patrol and by the time I could /say "don't kill all" they were all down, other player said "oops" but there was a big pile of essence that we were able to grab up quickly enough to fill the bar and spawn the boss. So it will work even if all the mobs die before you channel all the essence.

Glad you had luck with it, but after three days of camping that spot for about an hour each day and not having it pop i just reported it as a bug. At this point I'm probably going to leave this un-done and by proxy not unlock the merchant item because I don't have the time to sit there and hope it happens to randomly occur when I am in that spot.

I have no idea if this affected it but as I noted, I cleared the other two events. They popped first near Bear, then Svanir, then finally in the forest, and the forest one had the yellow triangle. I know I was there a good while; I was awaiting an important phone call so I was doing something I could abandon if the phone rang, just hanging out watching for events to pop while I browsed some forums. I don't think it was a whole hour though, even including clearing the other two patrols. I theorized that the faster a patrol was cleared, the faster the next one would spawn (I have no proof this worked, but it gave me something to do).

Maybe give that a go for one last try? The sandals are such a lovely skin.

Oddly, none of that worked for me. What ultimately "worked" was i got frustrated and finished taking another character into Bjora marches to do the LWS on them. As i rounded the corner toward Aesgir's area while chasing the images from the raven lens the special version of the patrol was just standing there. so i killed/stomped them.

So, moral of the story, its RNG based on your timing and location if it pops. :D

looks like trials on the eastern part of the Bjora Marches never spawns. Trying to complete this achievment for two days now and i always see the same 3 trials in the western part only.Spent over two hours today doing trials and events and never saw once Destabilize the Champions or Plant the Banners.

I have a character parked in BM and see the other trials fairly often but have seen Plant the Banners shown up only once and it was done before I could get to it. This was near the SE SoS camp. I don't know if I'm just unlucky or the Banners trial doesn't pop as often as the others. It's the only one I have left so, yeah, it's frustrating.

Bumping for visibility and also I just returned to this game a week ago. Been trying to find the Koda trial version of this patrol to no avail. Any clarity on whether there are specific conditions to be met to pop this event? Like is there a quest chain to complete? Is there a meta to complete? 

Here is some information (including 'Notes'):  https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Koda_Be_Praised#Plant_Banners_to_Challenge_the_Svanir

I want to share actual August '22 experiences :D

I have done the patrol event many times (without koda trial mark) and nothing happened. Then my map was closing so I got on another map. Again I went to all three patrol event locations. On two spots, the event was bugged. It was shown on the map but there were no enemies, so I had to wait until the time ran out and hoped it will spawn later again. So my tactic was just to do the three patrol events as often as I could in hope that the koda trial event will spawn at some time. 

So after the two bugged patrols failed, the koda trial event popped out in aberrant forest. And from this on all worked. I killed the patrol and stomped the essences until the bar was full. I had help from another player, I dont know if the time to stomp is enough to do it solo.

Then I got the achievement. After that I could blow the horn. And I want to say something to that horn because when people talked about the horn here I didnt know what they mean. So after the stomping a big horn appears a few steps away from the koda trial event. And you can interact with it to blow it. This will summon a champion you can kill. I didn't kill it because I completed the achievement after stomping the essences.

I hope this helps a litte and I hope you can complete this really bad achievement aswell.
