Castle Thorn No Death / Speed Run achievements are bugged

troomar

So, these achievements are currently bugged and can't be obtained.

We finished this dungeon and didn't get either of these two. We triple checked the whole dungeon if we didn't miss a mob somewhere, but we found nothing.


Moreover, the final boss half of the time is not targetable, which means you need to wipe to reset the fight. Thus ruin your No Death run. Now, I'm not gonna continue with No Death / Speed Run / Hardmode, because it's probably bugged too.

I think that the timer is off (needs to be 25 min instead of 30). Today i cleared non hm in 25:XX and didnt get. And later on I got the triple achievement (Bane of thorns) which we cleared in 19 min.

I can also confirm a problem with the achievements in Castle Thorn. We finished the dungeon while meeting all requirements for the all-in-one achievement "Bane of Thorns". However, we were neither awarded "Bane of Thorns" nor the no-death achievement "Impervious Onslaught".

We finished the dungeon in 19 minutes. But even if we were too slow we should have still got No Death achievement. And it didn't happen.

Hmmm strange.
Did you kill all the sickles?
Might also be that some instances are bugged.

troomar

Yes, we killed all sickles and also used them. We also burned all bosses before they spawned adds (especially the vampire in the pool died before he summoned the mist). It's broken somewhere, but we don't know where.

It's still bugged and it doesn't work.

PS4 We just clear the no death in Castle Thorn and didn't get the achievement "Impervious Onslaught" wtf is that still bugged reeeeaaaallyyyy!!!?????
I am sure we kill everything 😕

StrafeSinnlos

The same happened to our group today. Did the trifecta, the achievement didn't pop. We had one person crash during the run, but he didn't die, and crashes don't affect those achievements (example: a couple weeks ago we cleared the Frostvault trifecta with two different people crashing along the way).

Is it still bugged? @ZOS_GinaBruno, could you please confirm whether this is a known bug? If it is, we won't waste our time and just skip this dungeon until it's fixed.

It seems that they only care for the Crown Store , as long as crown store work they don't care for the content.

February 2021, we cleared the dungeon in <20 minutes, without anyone dying, no achievement at all. We made sure to use every sickle, there was nothing left.

We did kill the Blood twilight before it had the chance to start the channeling in the middle of the room (we ignored the imps). We also ignored all the gargoyles for Talfyg.

We did speedrun no death hardmode on the same run a few days ago and we neither had no death nor everything on the same run. August 2020 -> March 2021 ... nothing more to add just disgust..

So, not that these bugs should exist, but my guildmaster, who runs a 4-man DLC dungeon achievements guild had to this to say:

You have to kill all the scythes including the ones of the crow boss.
You also have to make sure of the outside scythes pull one person in. If you kill at range, it won't count. Just any player pulled in will do.
The buggiest part is the in-combat state of the scythe. If you fight scythes at the same time as other mobs it will bug out. So, you have to make sure you don't aggro scythes or them at the same time as other stuff.

So just make sure one person gets pulled in and kill all scythes, then you get it guaranteed.

This was in response to a group of our members being denied the trifecta even meeting all the requirements including killing all the scythes.

Those statements are blatantly untrue. My group whose had this bug (have done the trifecta 4 times, only 2 of which gave the achievement) actually skipped the scythes purposefully to see if they were bugging the title. Both times we properly skipped all scythes (didn't ever get pulled in) were the 2 times our achievements popped. My reccomendations are to skip all scythes and make sure no reanimated add is alive when you kill the crow boss. These are our two theories and the 2 conditions in which both our trifectas popped.
