Possible bug in Direfrost Keep and Fungal Grotto I conqueror achievements

tyrfing666 · April 19

For Direfrost Keep I've killed Iceheart at least twice (it's required for completing the pledge) yet I have not received credit for doing it in the Conqueror achievement.

For Fungal Grotto I I have not received credit for Broodbirther. That might be because it's an optional boss so perhaps I didn't do it on the same run as the others.

Is this a bug, or have I just not done something?

it's likely people skipping and not doing the bosses that are required for conqueror. also happes in wayrest sewers with the rat meister that people don't usually do.

For Iceheart that's not the case though. Iceheart is a required boss to complete the pledge for Direfrost Keep. I don't think I've ever run it where we didn't kill that boss as a result.

Yet on my Conqueror achievement progress it's the only boss that isn't marked as complete and so my achievement is incomplete.

you skipped her apprentice. everyone skips her apprentice. after you light the flame, run up the steps and turn right.

Do you have the lesser achievement (Direfrost Keep Vanquisher) ticked off? Looking at the UESP page, I see that the conqueror achievement specifically requires that you kill all the bosses on veteran difficulty. Is it possible you've somehow only tackled Iceheart specifically on normal mode? (Quite easy to do if you weren't the one queuing for the dungeon).

Direfrost has a missable side boss - it's to the right up the stairs in the main room after doing the loop where you have to stand on two plates.

Fungal has a missable side boss (two if you swim to the last boss).

It's possible the achievement text is bugged rather than the boss.
