Andy.5981 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 This evening I've been trying to do the "Big Bluffs Hunter" achievement in Jahai Bluffs.It involves killing 5 rare creatures.I found Champion Vihn, a branded Minotaur, pathing as some online guides had mentioned along the edge of the Brand to the west of Yahtendi Village waypoint. It was quite late European Time and the zone had already emptied and was suggesting I leave to another instance. Ah well, as these things take ages to spawn I'll chance it on my own.As I'm fighting it and doing quite well, he went and despawned. Errr? I'm sure there was no timer on him. The other two I've already killed didn't have a timer. Few minutes later as I'm killing branded, he respawns. Ok, this time I call for some help and a warrior arrives. We both fight Vihn. Again no sign of any timer. We get him to 25% health and he despawns.Is this an intended mechanic to stop single or two players killing him or is it a bug?Whilst we are talking about this particular Achievement, I always thought that part of the core ethos of Guildwars 2 was that we weren't going to be spawn camping? Well this is exactly what this Achievement forces you to do. The respawn times for all the creatures is far far too long. When they're called out by players they die before you even get a chance to get near them. It needs looking at beyond this possible bug with Vihn.

Ojimaru.8970 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Having the same issue. Vihn despawns seemingly at random, whether or not it is in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalGirl.2370 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Happened to me once and I ran around that branded area and found him again - not sure if he will just "port" to a different side all the time, maybe I was just lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I believe this is triggered by somebody attacking him and then either dying or simply leaving. Puts him on a timer that doesn't care if you reengage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reapex.8546 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I know this bug was suppose to be fixed but I've searched for days in his spawn area. Still haven't found him, I saw a video that showed he didn't have an event marker. Does anyone know his patrol path? Wiki doesn't show his patrol path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reapex.8546 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Update: I found him twice. He wasn't patrolling at all just standing there completely still among the branded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
