Defeat Jaesyn, Kruug, the Frayed, Balah, Duke and Maker of Mires in the Hallowed Ground Map within 10 seconds of one another.

The name of the vaal boss is "Jik'shah" (unless the wiki is wrong, I haven't paid attention to it much in game), which means that .... the vaal boss kill timing in Hallowed ground is just irrelevant to the challenges.

oh didnt even read it ^^
We just killed it first and took out rest in the next 10 seconds.
The thing was you couldnt kill rest without killing all so vaal was a problem to be solved sooner or later.

I think the challenges I have not completed are BS.

They are not challenges. They are tedious, time consuming, nonsense.

I planned and built my character. I then find:

- This is impossible because I don't do chaos damage only. Had I built a chaos damage only character it would be no-brainer, automatic easy.
- This is impossible because I kill too fast or don't do single target. Had I built around a single target skilled that added AOE via a gem, it would be no-brainer, automatic easy.
- This is no-brainer, automatic easy, but I'm not repeatedly doing 100, 150, or 525 times over, etc.
- Etc.

As soon as I see more than 4 of these in the challenge list, I'm done, because these are stupid, and not fun.

Challenges meant to be challenging.
they challenge your wits, wisdom, patience, time, wallet.

ohh, and full shield is easy. you dont need chaos damage hero.
Drop down boss hp below 10%, wait for shield to regen. use level 1 essence drain with culling strike attached/heartbreaker in hand.

Defeat blight rare monsters
Defeat rogue exiles
Anoint items (Blight unique SSF)
Defeat blight unique monsters
Complete synthesis unique map (SSF)
Defeat blight lanes (7 & 8)
Complete these Encounters V (possessed beyond boss and beachhead)
Complete unique maps (SSF)
Complete these Encounters VI (All of them)
Complete blighted maps (SSF)
Complete Endgame Grinds (Blighted maps SSF, so not necessary but drop rates are horrible)

For me those are all RNG gated. Definitely not as bad as past leagues though. I recall Delve was pretty fucking bad in that regard. Even you struggled with those Delve challenges if I remember right.

1, 2, 4 - more time than real rng.
possesed beyond and beachhead are easy to.
unique maps/synt map - zana and div cards.
7/8 lanes - high tier red maps are full of'em.

oh really :D didin't notice at all :D that's good , well still :D there is a trick to move it to the center , and the trick is , to wait him to go underground then you move to the next room , takes lot of time but doable

lol that's funny actually, that's onerare interesting thing that GGG could have used for challenges ....


well, they did not though ...

Defeat The Vaal Omnitect while you are affected by a Tempest and Lightning Exposure.... WTH is that :( not work

Drop the omnitech under 50% hp.
Keep it there, preferably under 10%
Leave alva outside or she will be bugging you.
Let it cast exposure- it doesnt matter if temple has a lightning room omnitech will cast it under 50% no matter what just be sure temple has a tempest room-
and when you are exposed catch the tempest.
tempest lasts 4 seconds exposure more than 8 and can stack so be sure you are exposed first.
when vaal omnitech start casting waves get ready cuz you will get hit with a high % dmg.
then burst it down.
gl

How do you leave Alva outside?

MrsDeath - which build did u use? I can't see a lvl 100 Blight build in your character list.

Was it the nebuloch jugg again?

I agree I like the Vaal omnitect style challenge. But the RNG challenges such as chayula, rogue exiles, blighted rares, blighted uniques, are all terrible.

Blighted rares and uniques were counting on blighted maps so i can see how that can become an issue for players who skipped them.
Exiles could ve been forced but chayula is kind of tough to find since its behind two rng gates.

"A bit though" in my ears is way too softly said.
I am 100% sure I am not the only one, but:
Having to hunt him for 3+ weeks, spending ~1k chaos (Buying sextants + zana mod) is just not the "A bit though" for me personally.

I am not complaining, I am 1 blight map away from egg, and about 50 atlass missions. If I have not found him by then I think i will give up though, and rest on 39/40. :D And that would utterly be my choice, failing the challenge.

Seems like a small rant, but I just wanted to agree, the double rng gated challenge on chayula outside his domain was the most terrible challenge they could make.
Yes I could have been one of the lucky ones finding it very early, and then some other poor soul would have the rng that I got.

I do like the idea that challanges are challanging, but someone said before "challenging your money's, patience, etc' the first is rng gated as well (moneys), thus not a challenge. Patience has nothing to do with the game, so why mention it as 'a challenge'. Some people have patience, more than others, some don't, it's humane.


But I do think someone in GGG had this on mind though:


Oh yeah, good thing about this is:

Hoarding them up, going to crash the market. :D

You guys all like the omnitech challenge ? Wtf lol why is a challenge to “get hit by deadly atk” any fun... almost died twice trying to get it, and i didnt even completed it yet ... alva always killing the omnitech before i can get exposure.. worst challenge ever

Run it at a way lower monster level, it's quite doable then.
