Need help with achievement "crushing disappointment" Vateshran

I need help to complete the achievement for Vateshran Hollows "crushing disappointment"

It says: Defeat Zakuryn the Sculptor and Flesh Abomination after destroying 5 or more Banekin with a single blow from the Flesh Abomination's Pulverize three times in Veteran Vateshran Hollow.

I do this on normal, run around and throw vigor for heal until portal opens and these small void apes appear. I continue to circle the arena without doing damage until I count five of them, then I go into the front of the meat mountain, block and wait for him to cast the huge electrified circle destroying the 5 void apes. I do this three times. Then I kill both the meat abomination and Zakuryn. Unless I have not counted well I still did not receive the achievement.

I have a question: Is there any condition I miss?

And another question: If the meat kills 6 or more of these void apes coming from the portal and I do this three times within one fight before killing Zakuryn will this also validate the achievement or is it necessary to have 5 killed and not less and not more?

    I marked the relevant info in bold. If you are doing this on normal, then you are missing the requirement, that it needs to be done in Veteran Mode, as stated. And the achievement info also says "5 or more", so 6 shouldnt be an issue.

    I now try it on vet. Damn that is hard. Really hard to achieve. The issue is staying alive until 5 void apes are there and you don't get accidentally killed some by some aoe or pulverize mechanics before you have the 5 active...

    As of now I just manage to die during the attempts...

    any advice here for me?

    Can somebody help me? I simply don't manage to get five void apes in that circle. He casts this too often and the apes spawn too far apart for that. It usually ends this way when I manage to have 5 apes around. 4 stand in front of the meat abomination when he casts pulverization and 1 behind. Of course this is not working then.

    when i did this, the best option was to just kite around a lot until you count 5, then wait for the smash and dodge roll the smash (the pulverize can be dodged which makes it easier to ensure the 5 imps are within the circle)

    definitely takes a few tries, especially with the fact you have to accomplish this 3 times in 1 fight, so you cant be burning the bosses at all

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (fully filled out with current game), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    in progress: acquiring mundus stones (currently only have the thief)

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    Just got the achievement. In a funny way. I apparantly managed somehow to get three times five void apes pulverized without really then bashed Zaky when he chanelled his daedric attack while he and myself were both on low health. He died and 1 millisecond later myself. Meatloaf was still alive but that was apparantly enough as the achievement does not require to kill meatloaf, just Zaky.

    Now I have to beat him again but can do it on a normal way^^
