Defeating Kalisthene does not give quest credit
Can confirm as of March 25th 2023 this is still bugged. I have killed Kalisthene several times now and have not received credit. Honestly, what the Heck do we pay for with this game. So much of the content is broken. Heavy sigh…
after 6 months of trying everyday, i finally have figured it out how to fix this! Lose the first fight, that’s how it was designed.
Thank you, I honestly never would have thought of that. I’d never done the Path at level so I had no idea if it was supposed to be difficult.
Thank You! Didn’t even think of that.
This is pretty dumb design.
this is still bugged.
by meaning lose first fight, does that mean death?
omg thank you. I would never have known.
thanks headed back to shadowlands to do the sanctums and for a week i was trying to figure out why the story wasn’t progressing but in order for it to progress u need to lose.
omg thank you for saving me untold frustration – it was so hard for Kalisthene to win this fight, I likely never would have discovered this on my own (or even considered that it wasn’t supposed to be a walkover fight). I would have assumed it was broken.
@Vews - you, madam, are my hero.
TY VEWS!! I thought this was bugged & it was driving me crazy!
thank you for this, it took so long to die, i prob should have taken off all my gear! haha
This worked for me. Thank you!
Also - I just jumped off the platform to die and that worked instantly.
Losing the fight does work but if you’re level 70, it takes forever.
This is absolutely ridiculous. How in the world are you supposed to know you have to throw the fight? Supremely idiotic design. Never should have started this stupid meta achievement… /sigh
You’re supposed to do this when it’s level appropriate and it’s literally impossible to win, so that the quest chain can continue as intended.
If Blizzard has any blame in this, it would be in not making this real obvious to players who outlevel the scenario. Or doing something to make the intended loss inevitable.
This is bugged purely out of neglect.
I am doing this on a level 60 character… and defeated the first boss in under 10 seconds. Also what difference does the level make when you’re using your soulbinds and not fighting yourself?
None, really. Your proxy character (the Kyrian you’re “supposed” to be fighting as) scales with your character level, so if you can overpower a fight so will your Kyrian. Which means for the first “fight” (which is supposed to prove to you the importance of having the correct equipment and abilities), you’ll have to find a way to lose.
Literally, jumping off the edge of the arena will work.
After that, I did the scenarios as the specific Kyrian rather than myself, but it was still pretty easy.
Hmm, didn’t realize it scaled and didn’t read anything about it when researching the achievement. The character I am doing it on is a lvl 60 alt that I happened to have unlocked Kyrian covenant stuff on back in SL. His gear isn’t even level 200 and all the fights are incredibly easy already. If there is scaling at 70 you probably one shot them.
