I was going after the [Flawless Master (Layer 16)] achievement and ran into some issues in Mort’regar and The Upper Reaches. Every other wing was super easy, did it first try, but for some reason in Mort’regar especially I had to run it over and over and over and all the flawless runs I had completed didn’t count for some reason. I just kept running it figuring I’d have to get the achievement eventually, and I did, but my run wasn’t even flawless when I got the achievement. Multiple floors were like 97-99% and somehow it still counted as a flawless run and I got the achievement. As for the one run of The Upper Reaches I did… my duo and I were so upset with Mort’regar that we not only double but triple checked every single floor to make sure that every single one of them was 100%. By the time we killed the final boss it told us that it was not a flawless run. HOW. Every single floor was the full 100% and I’ve gotten flawless runs even without that. How tf was that not a flawless run? We didn’t die at all, we killed everything, we cleared every urn and soul from every single floor… we did absolutely EVERYTHING and somehow it still wasn’t a flawless run. The scoring system for Torghast has to be broken, I can’t think of any other reason why this would happen. I even opened a ticket for it and Game Master Talseiatel told me “I checked if there were any reports of a similar issue to yours and I wasn’t able to find any other players having trouble with it. It is possible you could have ran into something new or a one off. I urge you to please submit a bug report” so here I am, I guess.
Hello Lilla! One thing that is absent from your post is the score that you received in the runs that aren’t providing you with Flawless. What were the scores?
there are other variables.
When I did it during Shadowlands, you had to be very careful and calculated to achieve flawless. It’s a lot more complex than just 100% completion. How quick was the run? Did you maximize your empowered bonus? Avoid traps and epic powers? Save the NPCs? The list of bonus objectives is long. Check this article out to get an idea of some things you can do to improve since just doing the base run isn’t enough to get flawless. You probably did some by accident previously. After the run you can see the score breakdown to figure out where you could improve.

Editing to add, sometimes RNG isn’t in your favor based on the floor designs you get and you just have to try again. I think soulforges was the one that often was difficult to reach 100% completion due to glitches with unreachable items if you got a bad floor layout.
they’re often 1-3 points off from perfect but I don’t understand why
it’s a matter of understanding where you’re missing the points.
you’re shown a breakdown at the end of the run.
the list in the link from above, should help you get the last few points you need
if you’re still having issues, screenshot the statistics at the end of the run so we can take a look.
i was getting super frustrated by this, and it was just a matter of remembering to do a few specific things which weren’t intuitive.
eg:
Collect 5+ Obleron Armaments of the same type
No epic Anima Powers
No duplicate Anima Powers
…and remembering to use empowerment.
I did eventually figure it out, and thanks to Marewnna for posting that link. That would have been super helpful and I wish I knew sooner lol. It’s stupid af that none of that information is in game.
