Talk:Volcanic Fractal

Champion's chest.

If you manage to save all the captives in the champion fight then you get a bonus chest. This needs confirming since I have only managed it once so I am just putting it here for now, it may even be a different trigger for the chest. Bluestone 11:37, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

I can confirm this is true. Happen to us 3 times.Yes4me 23:57, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Wipe after boss

This makes the dungeon so hard cuz rocks keep falling down on the broken rails making it inposseble to go back to boss with full party! --Draaky 18:28, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Boss type

When the grawl looks like an fire elemental: is he considered as a grawl or an elemental ? Useful to know, to know which potion use.--Alu 01:34, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Glitch

After the 28 jan update I did fractal lvl 7 and we got this one. We encountered a problem at the boss. Someone died in one of those on-off lava pits, not because he was stupid, but because it looked turned off. When he died he still had the condition Lava on, so we couldn't revive him. Even after we beat the shaman, he had to relog to get the chest. Qiff 10:14, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Super speed

Just encountered this on lvl 32, and once before that, lvl 28 (i seem to always get this fractal...). The Veteran Shamans in the part with the rock throwing/captive rescuing part were moving and spawning incredibly fast... First time it happened we all wiped when all capitves died (this was the first time the captives all managed to die for me, before that maybe 1 dies, but by that time we got 5-6 rocks already thrown). We somehow managed to complete that part, partly because it's a low level fractal, the shamans are easier to kill, and partly because the party compostion had a necromancer,2 rangers and an elementalist, snares all around. Second time i encountered this it was level 32, i had a PUG and we had 2 mesmers in it, and it's practically impossible... The shamans can't be stopped, they can't be killed that fast before they reach the captive or another spawns... This hasn't happened before the jan 28th update, which makes me thing it's either a bug or just them making an already hard fractal even harder... It's Cliffside all over again... 95.180.84.110 00:40, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

The group I was with had this happen to us the other night on FOTM 14. We had one Veteran Grawl during the "save the captives portion" suddenly start running instead of walking, toward the captive (and inevitably since we were all caught off guard we lost the captive). I inquired on the forums, and only one person responded saying that if you use ANY immobilize, when it ends the Grawl will start running toward it's captive. Some more conformation on what causes this, and if it's a glitch or not would be awesome --LordGustoff 19:50, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

The Floor Is Lava: Don't Touch It

Can we get more info on this achievement? I managed to beat the fractal without falling in lava, but I still didn't get it. I'm wondering if the lava pools the boss spawns count, or if being set on fire also counts.

I do think the lava pools at the end count, but I've also found on the forum and reddit that it can be buggy and not being credited properly. ~Sime 00:28, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
