If necessary, I can post a video or screenshots of my attempts. Thanks for your report, we're looking into this. You responded a month ago and u haven't gotten back? ... This should have been fixed in patch 3.15.2. If anyone is still having this problem please post a video of it occurring.

The challenge is still bugged in many ways. 1. If any mechanic spawns in the boss arena it pretty much fails as the boss won't spawn the orbs where the mechanic is. 2. Even if you spawn the required number of orbs the challenge sometimes randomly fails 3. Boss spawns a random number of orbs (I suspect he spawns orbs around him in a radius so if you kite him to a side you lose out on orbs from the other side of the arena, this is not a bug, just unfortunate design if you want to make it a challenge) I know it is a complex game and things break but it would be really helpful for everyone, especially ggg as a company if you tested these things before making it a challenge. It is also entirely possible that the whole community missed on some interaction, it would be cool if we had a comment on it if it is the case Last edited by ArkamHatchet on Aug 31, 2021, 1:06:46 PM	Posted by ArkamHatchet on Aug 31, 2021, 11:02:43 AM Quote this Post
