Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Attention: this will be a very salty post.
I was about to beat veteran HM Cradle of Shadows on no death in a solo run. It took me dozens of hours of training to do it.
It was the first time I was able to beat Dranos Velador on the first try (he seems to randomly cast his shadows, and sometimes I just can't skip it with Psijic ulti because it's not ready yet).
During the OS phase of Velidreth, this happened:

Normally, the adds disappear during this phase, precisely to prevent them from forcing the player to move (which is why I didn’t block, and I didn’t have enough stamina to block anyway). But here, for the very first time in LITTERALY 50+ solo tries on her, the add does that?!?
How is this possible? Can we fix this? This is so frustrating...

I have done the HM countless times and adds sometimes are there (if you don't kill them first).
It was your fault that you dps-pushed Velidreth or that you didn't kill the adds timely for them not to be on that phase.
Your mistake too for not managing your stamina better and not blocking regardless "this is the first time I see adds here."
Video from 2019 as proof that adds are there. Even the same add that jumps on you is there on this video I leave below.
On minute 21:02 the add is alive (check its health, missing some) and does the jump right before Velidreth does the mechanic, and the same add is still alive on minute 21:22 (check its health again - same missing amount) after the mechanic ended.

You may have done HM countless times, but you should try it solo and see how hard it is to deal with all adds and boss. Also, the boss keeps casting them so if you wanna kill them all before to leave the boss alone, you can say goodbye to the trifecta (that implies to beat it in a certain time).
Also, when boss says « don’t move a muscle » it implies you shouldn’t have to block during this phase. This is why adds disappear during this phase. This one didn’t disappear because he was in the air and about to stomp me.
Anyway, thanks for your warm and supportive post, I passed it.Edited by JiubLeRepenti on March 5, 2025 4:43PMBE/FR l PC EU l CP2700

The Psijic ult allows you to avoid his OS phase with the shadows. But if you parse him too fast he can cast it twice in a row around 40-30 %. And when this happens, it's a wipe because your ult isn't ready yet

Yeah you can block. It's just that, since adds are removed during the phase, I wasn't expecting one of them to stomp me xD

Not sure why you're dying on this hill, doesn't help the OP with their problem. No death, HM, speedrun, at the same time is a trifecta. Doing them at different times is a challenger. You can only get a challenger once; it only exists as the in-game achievement. You can get a trifecta infinite times as a personal achievement. It doesn't matter if there's an in-game achievement in the first place or not, there's no achievement for doing things solo either. But it's still a solo trifecta as an achieved personal goal.
No serious endgamer is going to get a trifecta and call it a challenger.
