The Empire Resurgent Challenge Thread

The timer triggers as soon as you begin the event, and ends shortly after dropping down. I was on the first long slope down (before where the bell lands). I was the only player at the time to leave the event room - the other players were still fighting the ogre.

I did this using heroes that have stealth capabilities - Shade, Ranger Bardin, Huntsman. The timer starts as soon as you drop into the event and ends as soon as they are all aligned.

Are you saying that the timer for the screaming bell one finishes once you get past the ogre, and that’s where you get the completion?

As in, you don’t have to make it all the way to the way of shadows?

Oh haha that’d be interesting. I read it as from chains to exit. Either way, it’s a pretty easy one.

I also understood it as “75 seconds from the start of chain-breaking to the way of shadows”…

Easy if you like/are good at speedrunning, Awful if you don’t/aren’t. :wink:
(like me. that one and against the grain in 60 seconds will be my bane in all of this…)

Yeh don’t try to speedrun the Against the Grain one. It’s super easy with the 2nd method where you just have everyone split up and super duper hard trying to solo no matter how good you are because there’s so much pot RNG involved…

Indeed… then I can be the slowpoke that stays behind and opens the first cages… :smiley:

Just kited around 4 chaos warriors in the righteous stand event. Did not get the cleared achievement popup message, but we did get the clear!
Handmaiden is super useful for the kiting…

Pretty sure you have to kill the event spawns to get the event to progress though, cause it wasn’t progressing for a long time until we started killing the rats off.

I can now confirm that you simply have to get past the ogre on screaming bell.
You don’t have to go the entire way to the way of shadows at the end of screaming bell. Just got that achievement and it popped as soon as we got down the hole.

Ha wow that’s a lil goofy

Dang I better snag this one quick… That seems too easy to be true!

Just tried powder monkey. brought all three barrels, pushed cart up to gate then put barrels in.
Did not get the achievement completed. might be bugged?
Might be bugged only if you wait until after escorting the cart to the gate, unsure.

Just succeeded on blessed by the father.
Did it the exact same way as before, so not sure why it worked this time.

The ONE difference is that our “blessed” player got jumped by an assassin last time right as he popped a buboe. so that may have interefered last time. As that did not happen this time.

Now I feel silly for taking the barrels all the way to the back. Your way is heaps safer.
For me it triggered as soon as the cart got to the end (with the barrels in it). I assume it checks to see how many event barrels are left as soon as the cart becomes active - to light and push.

Safer, yes, but it didn’t work the way we did it. so until they fix that, definitely bring the barrels to the cart BEFORE it gets to the gate :smiley:

I brought all the barrels to the cart before pushing it and I got the achievement that way. No server message popup or anything but it still counted as complete.

Also any idea if we have to finish the level to unlock the rewards? I know you do for other achievements but not for the ones that give system messages.

I don’t think so but I’ve yet to test that. Since they’re all part of the final event, it’s hard to lose if you’re with a team that pulls it off.

For the burblespew halescourge challenge,

I don’t think anyone can be in the dead state for it to count.

For the Heldenhamemr one,
I did it (no choice) with patrol the hard way. You HAVE to kill some of the mobs that spawn otherwise the statue doesn’t move. If you jump onto the church’s wooden construction platform then jump down you can revive your mates pretty safely. Its pretty kitable because i did it with zealot. Then you go back up the steps, jump onto platform again and repeat.

If that’s true about dead state, that’s dumb D:

Someone needs to confirm it.

In one game prior, we got a message saying that we cleared the challenge but then we all died.

I don’t know if that bugs it out for the next games. The guy (Loki) I ran this with said that he wasn’t able to speedrun it alone and so it coincides with the dead state screwing u over.

For that one, Loki stacked vs chaos vs inf, barrage str potion and sharpnel to bring the boss down to like 1/10 on his own. Then we worked on the challenge. The idea is to survive, trigger the challenge and then quickly kill him. Sadly we didn’t get the clear.
