"Missed me by that much" - How to get?

gatekeeper13

Greetings. I am trying to get this achievement by no matter what I do, I cannot get it. I killed last boss while in center literally at the last second without killing any shade, failed. Killed her the moment the ring appeared, failed. I ve even done exactly what other people have done in some YT videos, still nothing.

Anyone knows what I have to do to get this achievement? I am probably doing sth wrong cause description is unclear and I ve seen people getting the achievement using different methods than the one described in-game.

EDIT: Got the achievement. Check the comments below if you need to know how.

I got it when the ONLY shade I killed was in the middle when they were exploding, and then I escaped. I only had 1 shade phase I had to deal with, as if you burn her to <10% even if they are up, she desummons the shades to allow you to grapple over to the floating platforms and/or she dies if you get her to 0% in the final phase.

So what do I have to do? Kill 1 shade before they explode, escape, then kill boss?

yes, you can only kill shades then they are starting their summoning/exploding mechanic in the middle

I brought the one down to like 10% as they were coming in, held damage, no DoTs etc... then executed it from the center to escape the very first phase of the adds coming in.

I didn't kill another shade the entire rest of the fight.

Does this "trick" have to be done at last phase after all 3 portals are done and then execute boss or at all phases? Just did exactly what you did at 1st phase in your video but still didnt work. Maybe I am dumb but still dont get it...

Update: Ok, just asked a guldie and he told me I have to do the trick every time the ring appears, if I am not fast enough to burn boss to 10%. Till now I was only doing it before boss execute.

Ok, got the achievement. Looked like I had to kill the shade during detonation every time a ring appeared, not only at execute phase. Took me many tries but got it at least.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Did you do on normal or vet? Some people seem to question that.

Also, I believe you only have to do it once. IF you kill a shade, it has to be done during explosion. But you don't have to kill more than one the whole fight.

Just saw your reply, sorry for taking so long.

You have to do it EVERY time the shade ring appears. If you miss it once, you dont get the achievement. And only on vet difficulty.

This isn't true, just did it yesterday. You only have to do it once and it will count. As long as you can push the boss to 10% before the shade ring encloses on you after the first time, it will vanish and you do the grapple mechanic and it counts.

I slow dps'd the boss until the first shade ring popped up. Took one shade to execute, wait for it to kneel when they get to the center, execute it and roll out. Push boss, do grapple mechanic, come back from portal and nuke boss, even if a another shade ring starts as long as you get to 10% it will disappear.

What you say is only if you manage to get boss to 10%. If you dont, you need to do it every time a shade ring appears.

Perhaps it is the way you are wording it, but just because it 'appears' does not mean you have to. If you can get boss to 10% even AFTER a ring appears you do NOT have to kill one.

He's saying if you can't burn it to 10% before the boss detonates any shades, then you must do it that way everytime.

Whether the boss desummons the shades or you execute them at explosion phase is irrelevant. What matters is that you must get out of the ring everytime without killing a shade until it starts detonating.

Okay, but that's not what he said.

He said it right before that post.

I was very clear and @spartaxoxo understood very well what I was saying.
