Bergama Achivement - undoable

Thoragaal

Awesome how some stamina characters in medium armor makes a comparison to OP's issue.
Sometimes I wonder if people even bother to read.

People have also stated they've done the achievement on magicka characters. And offered tons of advice ranging from path taken to skills used, food, pots, etc. There are so many ways to complete the achievement other than being stamina-based and wearing medium. What's your problem with this thread exactly?

It's kind of ironic actually.
My "problem" is that people don't bother reading.
OP is a low lvl MagSorc with Rapids.
Many comments suggest "I got a max CP stamina character in medium armor, I have no issues with it" as if it's of any help to OP.
Did you read my comment or did you just assume that it was some critique against solid suggestions like "path, skills, food, pots"?

It's not undoable. I have zero in stamina and I am always out of breath. One rapid maneuver did the trick. Also, if you are a sorc try the ability I forget the name from the top of my head which increases speed by 30 percent.

xMovingTarget

Its far from impossible. I did it on magDK lol.

I put on 5x jailbreaker for medium armor stamina, sprint cost reduction and 10% movespeed. combined with rapid maneuver. You want to light the fires in a good and fast rotation. From the NPC run straight north. Light the first fire there and go clockwise. hit E on the fire and count to 2 and then start running. The last fire, jump of the bridge. there is a hole. And you get it no problem.

So I got prepared heavily. Tried to use as much advices as I could - crafted medium armor, made a respec of attributes, took another mundus, etc. Than went to Bergama to examine routes proposes and practice. And while I was practicing I read a call in a zone chat - someone wanted to group! Not for achievement - just for a quest for he couldn't do it at all. He also had a magicka character.
Together we ran, and we did it, and were even in time for achievement! Thank you all again for help!

Did it many, many times since the beginning of that festival back when it was added to the game, on every kind of character - stamina in medium armor have an advantage, true, but my tanks or magica characters did it without trouble as well.

Its not that hard, one just need to take a good path. I usually start at the NW fire because the stairs towards it are just opposite of where I pick up the quest, then go NE over the roof pathways, then SW, then double back a little to get to the SE rooftop by the skyshard.

that's the route i take and I manage to get the achievement on every character without even trying

Yeah, that's the one I do as well.
Run until stamina runs out, then pop a stampotion (best a rougeish one with extra movement) and keep going, even my casters make it with ten or more seconds to spare...
Oh, and find out at which range the fires get interactable, clicking them the moment they come into range instead of running up to them until you hit the brazier can save you a second! Also get ready to dash off as soon as the fire is lighted... another second or two saved if one does not wait looking at the pretty flames flickering to life with ones thumb up the a... a-hem!

If someone wants to be really fast-ish for the extra achievement, well, they may want rapid maneuvre, or go streaking on a sorc, and maybe even pick a armor set that makes 'em sprint-ier... but they can always do that particular thing next year if their characters are not up to it yet...

That's good news @myskyrim26 My guild always laugh when I say, "hey wait for fat assed healer!" I am pure magika, no points in Stamina so I'm usually literally panting and tossing heals from the other room as I arrive to the fight, so I feel your pain

Coatmagic

I had same prob first year on my main (magic based sorc) who is my achiev hound.
As others have said, get 3 peeps to do it with you everyone stand at the flames and say go and voila!
It can be a bit like herding cats but it can be done!
If you need a body or someone to help herd cats, and yer on PC holla!

At this point, the "slow healer" is pretty much a classic cliché:


(Of -course- I have a slow healer among my alts myself - sadly I did not think to make her plump to have an IC explaination for her leisurely pace)

O_LYKOS

I struggled on my magicka nightblade. I think I was about level 40. I just respec’d to stamina. Used stamina food and speed pots lol

Just get 4 people in zone or even 2 to help and it makes this far easier to do.

Problem solved.

Afaik, the timer doesnt begin until you start the first fire.
So what i do, is I start at the most awkward one (near the skyshard) then head to the one to the left on the stairs.
Then I jump through the little gap in the wall just in front, and up the stairs to the right for the 3rd fire.
Then over the ramp to No4. Usually done a few seconds even without rapids.

But like, am I the only one who's bothered by op's use of "undoable"?

I already read some posts like "I do it in 10 seconds". Great, but I can't. I have a new char, a lvl 22 sorc. I have Rapid Maneuvr skill rank 1. I use a potion to boost my speed and stamina regeneration. I use food to boost my overall stamina. I sprint. Still I can't be that fast. I have no such problems on my stamina characters.
Find a group? Well, that's what I try to do every day since the beginning of the event. Noone wants to group.
The most unfortunate part: I created this sorc as an "achivement" char - I want to try and make as many as I can. New Life seemed a good start for me, yet I am frustrated now...

10 sec.. yeah, unlikely, and definitely not sololy. People will just say unfounded thing and exaggerate to boast or get a rise of others. They likely grouped up and each take a fire. Lazy, but easiest way. Stam is doable sololy; just have to use Charging Maneuver and double down with sprint the whole time. Just have to ensure you have 25k stam pool or more; if any less, have to drop stam potion for the last leg. I did it sololy with one of my tanks for giggle and grins; had to drop the stam pot for the final leg sprint, but got it.

Mag toon isn't so sololy; not enough stam. You would have to respect to up the stam pool, but that's costly to respect and respect again back to max majicka pool; not worth it. So, to make thing easier for you, just group up with others; well, until ZOS and the team puts a patch on it where you have to do it sololy or something (if that would be the case in the future.)

dtsharples

I do these on Magika characters every day, Templar healer and MagikaDK with zero points in stamina.
And I have the achievement on both.
Admittedly you can do it with your eyes closed on a Stamina character, but really Not quite sure why people are having such an issue with this.

Puzzlenuts

Plan your route. Know where your going before you light the 1st brazier

Mudcrabber

I take notyuu's route as well.

On a magicka character, I cast rapid maneuver and wait for my stamina to refill before activating the first brazier.

You can leave each brazier slightly early but I haven't nailed down exactly by how much.

You could also eat stamina food and use a potion but I haven't needed to do that.

When this happens to me, I stop and WAIT and help someone ELSE with the same problem as me...
& its weird how fast it can turn around, instead of calling for a Group you answer the call
it goes from frustrating -> to boring for a few minutes -> to "My Hero!"

( 2 man Bergama sprint, one takes South to West the other takes East to North, thereby ending with West and North closer to the Lady)

mreisse

I managed it too, thanks to the path advice in this thread. FINALLY!!!

Sanctuary_Reaper

Done it myself, just asked in chat for help with achievement and had it doneliterally a minute later, i lit 2 the other player lit 2, job done

Alinhbo_Tyaka

I found what made the difference for me was not the route as much as using the Thieves Guild escape potion. I would do a normal sprint between braziers until my stamina got low then pop the potion. This gave me enough stamina and speed to finish up the run to the two final braziers in time to get the achievement.

grannas211

Speed pots and change to steed Mundas. I can do it on a level 10 toon with tjay

tspecherb14_ESO

You can do it if you have Charging Maneuver from the Assault skill line and use a pot to maintain stamina. Just have to time it right.

No, it's fine. Once we read your comment we understood what you were saying.

Nah, its a minor thing.
Just remember, next time it might be better to go with "Having difficulties with..." so the people who have done the same all those many, many times are not getting hung up on the wording, but see the chance to spew forth their sage advice!

SteveCampsOut

Just get 3 guildies to group with you. Share the quest and all four of you light a brazier at the same time. Wham Bam Thank you Mam! Done.

Not necessarily but it doesn't mean what you were trying to convey (think of it as "undo-able" not as "un-doable"). Also am not a native English speaker either and tbh I suspect that's the whole reason I thought of pointing this out
