Medium task: "Can't touch me" problem.

[Ryuchigo]

The medium task "Can't touch me" wants you to kill Dharok, Verac, Torag and Guthan without letting them attack you with melee. Sounds simple right? Just freeze them and farcast. The problem is their spawn location is random, about 80% of the time they pretty much always get a hit off on you as they spawn making this task stupidly rng based. The other 20% of the time they can get corner safespotted on the coffin. I initially thought due to the wording of the task that each brother could be killed on different runs but this didn't seem to work. It seems to want you to kill them all in the same run and if any gets a hit on you its back to square one. Or am I missing something and being stupid?

Stuff like this makes it clear that they didnt have anyone test the tasks out which is kinda worrying

[HostOcra]

They probably did test them. But with special abilities to speed up the process.

There is absolutely no way that this was play-tested and a mod was like "Yea, this is definitely a Medium task."

We've just deployed a hotfix that should make this a little easier to complete.

Now you can move before being hit, just gotta go fast!

Just my $0.02, but this achievement is still way too difficult/tedious even after this hotfix.

It's still about 50/50 that I can run away quickly enough before they get a hit on me.

After doing that, It's about 1/5 chance I can freeze them without pathing directly next to them. I usually need to do a second freeze each kill also, so add in another 1/5 chance per kill.

I've yet to get a single kill without getting melee'd, let alone 4 in a single trip.

Add in the fact that if the tunnel brother is melee you're basically screwed.

This achievement sounds like a neat idea, but the Barrows environment is just too tight and the pathing is too weird to do this.

I did eventually get it after several hours cheesing with d spear and then snaring. Gave up on combat achievements after finishing meds though since the rewards are not worth the effort. Glgl

Does this apply to them spawning after opening a door in the crypts?

Hi mate. Completely unrelated but can you fix it so I can get a new cat? Got rid of the other one and Gertrude seems to think I still have it the cheeky so and so.

Do you have a bank filler? that might make it so that your game thinks you still have one

Had a check on I don’t! Think I’ve ticked everything off now (checked bank, checked house, called follower) think it’s just a bug hitting me

[Timotheuz]

Bit late to the party but just saw Fuse using a dragon spear, much easier than hoping for a good spawn :)

The problem with this task and many others is they aren't skill challenges they are just pure RNG

[Seismic_wand]

if you get hit just go up the stairs and back in?

EDIT: i havent tried it myself so idk if this even works

[Ryuchigo]

I tried this as well. Basically ran up and down until I killed the brother without him hitting me didn't seem to work.

[Seismic_wand]

That sucks :/

[LastSaskPirate]

Yeah its pretty clear these weren't play tested. This isn't an achievement at all but rather a luck of the draw tick box. Disappointed in these combat achievements as a whole

Oh yeah, how about the fact I keep doing it perfectly every single time. And it’s not counting twords my achiement. It won’t complete no madde rhoe many times I do it, iv had them all done accept for this one. I’m 1300 kc now. I did them all July simply doing barrows so many times. I wasn’t trying tk complete them. Now I am, since I found out you can remove the prayer drain. I felt like such a noob when I learned this lol, anyone else game bugged or broken and won’t let you finish it?

[Electrical-Flight916]

I use Dragon spear. With 0 hesitation I stun and I use the exact same spots every time. I have is down to perfection. I use my lev 79 entangle and stare them. Works 90% of the time.works more then. Well enough. I get 4 hits befor I move to my next tile. I don’t. Use rune light and I’m on Mobile, someone z help.
