You need to place yourself at "your purpose", not an inch past it, not in the middle, not even near the stairs, to look Balthasar in the eyes, but simple at that kitten bird ;) .

I agree however that it's a bug and needs to be fixed.

As an asura I don't think I can look Big B in the eyes without difficulty but I get your point. I'm going to retry this today and hope it works for me. :)

I lost the achievement somewhere in the part where Scarlet appears. It almost looked like two sections of story played at the same time, I was standing watching the first one at the destroyed lion statue when the big marionette appeared a little farther ahead of me.. That's when the icon for the achievement disappeared.

I may have been too slow but I really don't think so, I was being really careful this time.

I didn't have the heart to go thru the Balthazar fight again right away so I'll try again maybe tomorrow.

The observations in the bug/tracking note that there's an issue with "The Whole Story" Achievement that occasionally and seemingly randomly, the achievement fails at the end, even through a player has observed the visions correctly. Does that sound about right to you folks?

If so, then the team will be working on this as they're able.

Hi Gaile,

That might have beenwaht happened to me the first time through, I watched all of them but didn't get the cheeve. But in posts above people are saying that if you don't stay put at the end and run up closer to Balth, that bugs it, so I don't know.

My second time through I was being very careful and observant, stopping exactly where the purpose was. Before that part of the story, the escort who was talking to me (forget her name but it starts with an N) had some dialogue that cut out when another NPC that we walked past said something , it looked like a timing issue. Then when I got to the parts from the Scarlett story line, it looked like the marionette stuff started playing while I was still looking at the destroyed lion's arch and the cheeve failed then before I even had a chance to see where the purpose went next.

That's how I remember it anyways :) Maybe the team can look into that as part of the overall bug too? If I"m wrong about the Lion's Arch stuff being two separate steps I apologize in advance. Thanks!

Can also confirm that it's not working: Have played through three times now: Two on my own accounts, and once helping a friend. The achievement failed in all three cases, including for my friend in the latter.

I see no particular rhyme or reason to it, but the achievement fails when going up the steps, I believe before Balthazar appears.

And yet she has her red banner back on the forums, which was gone last week.
