ProtoGunner.4953 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 It's not easy first, but I am shocked that some guys simply can't do this: it's not that this is really hard. You have to learn some tricks (always in line of sight and knowing throw distance/feel of the throw) and also where the items are and should not take more than 5-10 tries to accomplish.

Last Crysis.1934 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 This mastery is garbage! I can't get it do to lag but at the same time I don't need it so I just skipped it, there are lots of other easier mysteries in PoT to go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dami.5046 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I did this. Took a few goes and some kind soul with his new leggy great sword making the sky round him black to do. I think I can safety say it wouldn't be Guild wars without something annoying and yes I was losing the will to live but I got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasia.4573 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I just give up on this one. I have tried it again and again, and I fail every time. The timer goes down way too fast and the Chef runs around so much it's so hard to throw the stuff at him. It would be better if he just stood still, but he spends so much time running around and I have to wait for him to stop to throw the stuff. It's impossible for me to get this mastery. Oh and not to mention the time spent running from one side of the room to another and then trying to find where the chef ran to after that.

Klowdy.3126 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 You just need to run through it a few times and remember where everything is. It is so rewarding when you complete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timer goes down way too fast and the Chef runs around so much it's so hard to throw the stuff at him.I don't blame you. The running around, which is super-annoying, is deliberate, and part of the challenge. I eventually got it, but it took three tries before I lucked into getting stuff I could reach.The advice I can offer is:Activate a movement speed increase trait. On a necromancer, for example, Signet of the Locust gives +25% all the time, and makes a world of difference to being able to complete the task.Turn on "quick throw" and/or AoE on your target automatically, and see if they help you get things in the right place.Never, ever throw something unless he is standing still.It is still really hard, don't get me wrong, so if you just skip it, that is actually OK. ANet deliberately put way more mastery points than needed into the game, so that you can skip the ones you hate, and you still get enough to get everything done. So, the only reason to force yourself through this is completionism; you don't need it in order to max out PoF masteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior.3928 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Came back to the game to check it out after more than a year of being away, got to this mastery and remembered full well why I stopped playing. It's dumb things like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagynorbi.5376 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I have never posted to the forums, this is my first one.I'd like you to know, even in 2020, this is a terrible, frustrating, unwanted mission. Remove or fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrodavar.8920 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 First time posting to these forums. Just bought the expansions yesterday. Got stuck on the mastery xp bar with the game giving zero explanation of what's going on. Tried to get this mastery point and this "challenge" is bad design. Should've literally had it done but the game decides not to register the last ingredient thrown while I still had a tick of timer left. Every other run is just frustrating as hell. The chef sometimes doesn't even announce an ingredient and just tells you that you failed. Or you hit the chef with the food but it doesn't register that. It's just sad, frustrating and stupid. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilosean.3805 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I can see why it was added. If it worked better, it would be a fun little mini game. But something about the layout of the space + registering ingredient impacts + the timing of the bar not quite matching expectations means that it's actually hair-tearing instead of entertaining. They got it right in Grothmar, IMO. I wish they'd go back and update this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
