Defeat Nashta conditionally - she does NOT cast emberstorm

Tried doing this challenge on my summoner, Speaker's Wreath equipped, nothing on my trigger wand (like desecrate or tempest shield) to do accidental damage to her while she is at 1%. I tried twice and failing before realizing the npc with me taps her to kill her and fail the challenge...

So I should give up on this challenge with my poison bv (no stopping at 20%) max dodge build.

I just finally got it with poison BV sassy.

It's not bugged but getting hit with the cleave is a huge pain for eva/dodge chars. It's still doable though. Keep fortify up; spec into wind dancer if you haven't already; Solaris helps as does Ryslatha with multiple life flasks. I also used two sulphur flasks and a manually cast lv20 Immortal Call with inc. duration gem to help me tank.

As for not killing her with BV, that's the easier part. Just artificially slow the fight down using only a few blades at a time, then let them drop to 0 when she's at low life. The key is to keep casting wither totems while you tank and wait, so that once emberstorm is finally on you you can immediatelly Vaal BV, diamond flask etc. to burst her down quick. You only have 10s.

If anyone feel confident to succeed in this challenge I'm willing to pay 5 ex for completion! xD

Just a headup, whether its bugged or not or bad wording of the challenge.

I did multiple run with my guildmate for this challenge, even if I get the debuff and did not explode any mine, it doesn't seems to ticked off for them.

The only logical explanation I could think of is because they wasn't in the boss room thus they did not get the debuff and hence it did not count for the challenge for them

For those who has trouble with clearing this challenge

1) Bring Nashata down to 20%.
2) Make her go into enrage mode (She has electricity spark, flame and faster attack, only in enrage mode she can apply emberstorm)
3) Look out for the teleport attack, avoid her other attack
4) You will need to get HIT by the teleport attack in enrage mode in order for her to apply emberstorm debuff on you.
5) Once you get the debuff, burst her down

Good luck!

Thanks, this helped me with the strategy, I did it finally now on my 3rd try; this was a pure pain.

Two more tips which might help others further, my max block gladiator (5.1k hp, 76/75/75/75 resists, 18k unbuffed armor, 75/75 base block, that is, pretty tanky, close to immortal in any other event) got purely one-shotted in my 2nd run again right away with the teleport-cleave hit which in the same time applied the debuff. Then the entrance bricked that run with a volatile right there.

I tried to google it out, but could not find what type of damage that skill uses, but replaced my abyssus with a crown of the inward eye, went up to 5.6k hp and a bit more armor, I survived the teleport-cleave with around ~400 hp left with 20/20 molten shell manually activated (~3600 plus life).

The other tip, volatile not spawn on the bridge, You do not have to worry about those there.

So, what I did on my 3rd try: went up to her, with my abyssus up, damaged her down to ~15% knocking down towards the right side bridge, swapped the helm (lost 2/3 of my damage), kept cyclonning on the bridge for the infused challening and time to time hit her to keep my fortify up, and the time she teleported on me, activated my 20/20 molten shell, got brutally hit with ~400 hp left, got the debuff, dropped down my vaal warchiefs with culling strike and also self damaged her with my low current damage and luckily she died when the debuff still had 4 seconds left.

As a side note, I am not surprised, that the broken aura stacker handled the hit that easily, but I am still confused, how that low life miner took that hit way better than my gladiator.

This challenge is really stupid, tried 7 times but it's the same every time. I get her down to low life, then stand there trying to tank while waiting for her to do the emberstorm attack that she never uses, so i run out of flasks and i cant attack to leech life, so i die, which doesnt bother me because i just leveled, but when i go back she still refuses to use the emberstorm, and eventually the npc kills her or i fail without even touching any of the shit storms.
