Court of Stars - Dropping Some Eaves - misleading achievement description

Edit: It appears that it’s an achievement description issue rather than an objective credit issue. See the next 2 posts in this thread.

The Legion dungeon achievement “Dropping Some Eaves” is glitched and not awarding cerdit properly.

The achievement description says “Witness the cenversation between Adviser Melandrus and Grand Magistrix Elisande in Court of Stars on Mythic diffucilty”.

I just soloed the dungeon on Mythic difficulty and got into Melandrus’s boss room while Melandrus & Elisande were in the middle of their conversation, but didn’t get any achievement credit.

To actually get the achievement;

  • Kill the 5 Sentries and do not let them cast Sound Alarm

  • Disable the 5 beacons before engaging the first boss

  • Kill all 3 demons separately before pulling Talixae

  • Guess spy on the first try

Oh, and don’t just bust down the door on Melandrus’ room, wait in front of it for their conversation to play out. IF Elisande says something like “It seems we have visitors.” (can’t remember the exact line) you have failed and won’t get the achievement.

Hope this helps! =]

Thanks for the info.

So the actual achievement requirement is to listen to their conversation without being noticed? Guess it’s an achievement description issue rather than an achievement credit issue.

Updated bug report:

Issue: The achievement description for Dropping Eaves says “Witness the cenversation between Adviser Melandrus and Grand Magistrix Elisande in Court of Stars on Mythic diffucilty", misleadingly implying that the objective is to get into the final boss room before Elisande & Melandrus finish their conversation, when the actual requirement is to listen to their entire conversation without being noticed.

Suggested fix: Update the achievement description to make it clearer that the requirement is to get to the final door & listen to the conversation without being noticed.

Correct! I just completed this achievement by watching a video on Youtube. I kept failing even though I completed all the mentioned steps. What I learned later was, both achievements cannot be done in the same run.

Explanation: The first one: Waiting for Gerdo, requires you to kill all five Sentries first. Then, you have to engage the boss and wait for him to call for backup Signal Beacon. Once the guards have appeared, you can either kite the Boss and Adds to all 5 beacons to shut them down depending on your character level/endurance or kill the adds right away and then drag the boss to each beacon. Side Tip: Gerdo will also have a count of how many beacons are still activated attached to his name tag.

Summary: You cannot complete both achievements in one run because the first requires the FIRST BOSS to be alive and the beacons to be shut down during his encounter and the second requires all five Sentries dead and the beacons to be shut down BEFORE engaging the FIRST BOSS.

Location of Sentries:
1st one is near the first beacon
2nd one is patrolling the docks to the left of the 1st Sentry area
3rd one is patrolling in the courtyard area right after and just behind the 1st one
4th one is standing in the doorway next to the 2nd beacon
5th one is patrolling the bridge with two mobs right behind the 2nd Beacon

I know this is an old post, but also an important one for players who like to do achievements later on like me.
