Azraeil.7013 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I had the same problem before and was reading and checking some video. I got my achievement solo after 2 run.I found out that you need to spam immediately before the phase to attack his weak points started, Aurene will begin to speak so you know the phase is starting.If you are in europe zone, can help you at 5 PM UTC time, just mail me.

Zaxares.5419 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 It is possible to get this achieve solo, but it is much easier with a friend or two. The main advantage of being in a party is that they have a special buff they can apply to you that increases your damage by 50%, allowing you to destroy weak spots in just 2 shots rather than 3. The buff only lasts for about 20 or so seconds, so if you want it constantly on you, you'll need to get your friends to stagger their skill use on you.Secondly, don't try to aim for the closest weak spot to you; it's a trap. (This is especially the case in the 2nd phase.) You won't be able to destroy the weak spot closest to you in time before it moves out of range and becomes untargetable. Instead, aim for a weak spot 1 or 2 spots ahead, and click to select a new target as soon as your 2nd (or 3rd, depending on whether you're solo or with a group) shot is released.

Giotto.2607 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I cant get get this achievement after 8 tries. Gave up and playing wvw for the corsair boot. A lot easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farson.5730 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Finally got around to going after this achievement. Not a slam dunk to solo but I managed to get it after about a dozen tries and using the pointers provided above (thanks!). I think I was too panicked the first six times through so I kept moving to the next target too early. Slowing down the targeting and mashing the 1 button helps. Also seems to be required to get at least 3 or probably 4 of them destroyed in the first phase. I got better at the early targets which seemed to push me to the 10 total. Agree with all those who commented on the counter. Would have been nice to include a count so you could track what was working vs. not working as far as targeting. Good luck to all! It is possible to solo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orminis.6983 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I just constantly have miss miss miss miss miss miss .... on 2nd phase after passing the backbones I can not target or shoot anymore weak points.

hugo.4705 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 After all the passed time, still not have that achiev and the episode mastery. It's either it's obstructed, it has been hit 2 times and require 3-4 or as said above no line of sight... there are players preferring to do story alone, and it's a very big backstab from you anet to the playerbase.You upgraded skyscale collection by making it friendly to players with motor issues. Can't you do the same about that achiev? I don't have buzz lightyear reflexes.I did try to do it with others over time, but even by boosting me, I'm too slow..... make the others dhooting orbs too or make it scales based on number of players, should require only 3 hit per wound if alone.

Coelho Nat.4697 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Some time ago I complained about some Achievements that are hidden behind some group event. If the event has good rewards, you can find many groups even 1 year after the release. However, there are many ones that give no rewards at all, and if you don´t complete it in the first 2 weeks, good luck in finding someone to help.The achievement cited in this post is one good example. Try lfg and you are very lucky if someone joins you in 2h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algreg.3629 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 prolly some luck involved, but did it in 3rd try. and was actually quite intimated by all the complaints I read while I took a break when the episode was released. Just like in the case of Eater of Souls, most difficulty complaints are grossly exaggerated around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critical Lag.9075 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I've finished achievment today. I made LFG and gathered 3 other people. I have no idea how it worked because the damage to Kralk seemed similiar to when I was doing it solo, we couldn't target and destroy anything on right wing either but we still got achievment in the end.My tip for anyone else who is struggling with it, just get some other people to help. It's far better that doing this solo. Post LFG in Dragonfall category and someone will join sooner or later.Overall it's awful achievment, even more so for being mandatory for dragonfall META Achiev. I rate it -1000/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostinthought.7540 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I've tried this achievement about 20 times now. The issue is that his weak spots seem to go out of LOS, or my shots miss, much more often than videos on YouTube would suggest. For example, during the second phase, the weak spots on his right wing go out of LOS almost immediately after Aurene flies past his spine. Another example is the weak spots at the end of his tail during the first phase; I cannot hit those until I am super far away.I've also had multiple instances where my shots will destroy weak points that I didn't target, almost as if the shots are freely aimed rather than homing/targeted.Has anyone else experienced this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinthought.7540 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I recorded a video demonstrating the bugginess of this: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/698957630 (apologies for the mouse/keyboard sounds) - I target a weak spot in front of me, making sure it's not the first one as suggested by some, and it doesn't get damaged until about halfway through (I keep the combat log open to see when exactly I deal damage). The first few shots pretty much go right through him and have no effect.The problem is that this happens for every weak point I try; none of them can be hit until I'm about halfway through the first phase. That means that I basically don't have enough of a window to destroy enough of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critical Lag.9075 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Doing this in party seems to be the only way right now. I had similiar experience like you. Got 3 other people to do this achievment and we got it first try. Even when similiar issues happened in party (no LoS, misses), the damage was much higher and splash damage got more points than in solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
