Craglorn World Bosses Anka-Ra - Bug?

OccultNerd · February 15

Hi,

Is anyone else having issues with Craglorn World Bosses being marked as completed?

I've finished the Anka-Ra Consecrationist Achievement, but on the WB list apparently I still need to defeat Plight and Crucible, which I've already defeated....and gone back and defeated them again a few more times.
100% defeated them, this is all Solo on the same character (with Sharp), last time I did Crucible someone else joined but we weren't in a party, all Zone quests completed,
Am I missing something?

I know Craglorn is an old Zone so this could already be a well known bug but it's really annoying as I am trying to clear all Zones.

Any help appreciated

I've been trying today to beat that boss but at my end it seems impossible.

There's a priest who I need to protect, I've been defending as fast as I can, killing first all archers, but the priest always dies when it's almost complete. I don't know if it's bugged but it doesn't seem possible to finish. The priest dies very fast.

Tag everything with damage as fast as possible. The adds will attack priest immediately and if you don't get them to turn attention to you, they will deplete priest health pretty quickly. You don't need to taunt. Just use AoE and ranged attacks. You don't want to focus or kill any particular add until everything in that wave has taken damage from you and is focused on you.

I was able to complete two of these bosses, but it was clearly luck, because most of the time they only attack the priest and he dies in seconds. It's weird, because I can't even heal the priest.

I think the inability to heal the priest must be deliberate. It's clearly meant for more than one person to run, given that the attackers spawn from three different directions. This is one of the last things remaining on my main, too - I should probably just bite the bullet and see if there's anyone else in my guild that still needs to clear this.

I've thought about that too. But I haven't seen anyone in those areas on the EU server. I assume most people did it years ago. Anyway, I've done everything else myself without help; it's just those bosses with the priests that are more exhausting.

The easiest way to complete these Solo/With a Companion is to drop an AOE on one of the 3 spawn points then use Silver Leash and Light attacks to tag the adds in the other 2 spawn points, try to pull them altogether and use AOE's/Ultimate to wipe them all out. I use Sharp as my companion and he has the skill Cold Snap which is helpful. It's not that hard once you get the hang of it, you've always got to be checking for more mobs spawning and anything doing a cone attack.

That's helpful. I didn't have Silver Leash on my main at the time, but I do have it as an option. I'd tried using a ranged attack to get aggro on me and then burning them down, but some of the heavies that come in after the first wave are quite hard to dissuade from their relentless march to the priest. I think I've got my DPS up to the point I can probably try again. It would still be easier with another player though!
