Fancy Footwork bugged?

[Blecis74]

I'm trying to get fancy footwork, but have had no success, i have done as the description says multiple times but still nothing.

Does anyone have and idea if its bugged or not?

You cannot interact with any traps, not even disarming them.
I'd recommend getting behind the throne and baiting Gortash there. That way, you have a chokepoint with a door and you can funnel the fight this way.
If he's up in his chambers, you need to be very careful and stay on the red carpet, in the room with the busts.

The only issue I had with the achievement is that it would not unlock if I tried to attack Gortash outside of combat in the upper area. It only unlocked when I initiated conversation with him first and then killed him.

And yeah, sneak up and around the tower. Ignore the coronation area.

I only got that achievement by accident using invisibility to sneak up to him. I reverse pickpocketed him and gave him 30K gold and then hit him with the twist of fortune (blood money attack) to 1-shot him. That morningstar does your proficiency modifier (+4 in this case) per 300 gold on the person. So, 400 HP damage + 1d8+1 (+4) .

does that also apply to the ones outside the area you fight Gortash?

The blast mines don't seem to matter, no.

ok so things i cant do:

cant disarm or destroy traps
can't fight him in the area above the busts

things i have to do:

have to talk to Gortash (grenade immediately drops at my feet -trap triggered)
have to fight Gortash in the area with the busts (where there are traps)
have to stay on the red carpet (near the traps)

why does this one achievement have to be so annoying?

I gave you the easy solution w/ the 1-shot using Invisibility. If you just want the achievement you can burn the gold, get the achievement, and then just reload and beat him fairly if you want your gold back.

i know, but i dont have the weapon or that much gold in order to do so

probably the most annoying achievement to get for me. I had to try like 10 times before I finally got by doing conversation with him first.

And now that I remember, I also killed him in one turn though I didn't use any gold trick. I used Hold Person then beat him to death with crits from a hasted Fighter and Barbarian on Tactician.

good idea, or you could try (hasted) 2 monks + 2 paladins and they would easily have enough burst damage to take him out in 1 round even without a failed save on the hold person spell.

Are there any traps in the bottom park of Wyrm's Rock, I know there are force curtains, but do any of the other rooms have traps in them, I can't remember if there are but if there are i may have triggered them when fighting through that part, and if not then I think the chevo is bugged as I've tried so many times without triggering traps.

Here's what I did.

1. Took the long round about route to the top floor. Video to link to show the route. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wusyYMUOWrA

2. I kept three of members of my party, outside and around the corner to ensure no traps were triggered.

3. I sent Astarion to sneak in. I used acid arrows (anything with an AOE, really) to snipe at Gortash from maximum range.

4. Once I hit Gortash, I retreated further back, beyond the entrance, then panned over. I kited him again. This brought him further along.

5. This is important. The enemies registered that the shot had come from where Astarion was, and walked to the point where it originated.

6. I was going in for a third shot, then that triggered combat. I already had Astarion in the door way, behind the traps. They did not activate.

7. I had Astarion run away and join my party. We proceeded to throttle Gortash. Achievement acquired.

I'll give this way a try, thanks

I can't get it to register either. I'm on my 6th try. I've watched how to videos... none of of the methods are working yet.
1. Destroyed the traps (so they weren't triggered, then shot him and ran outside so everyone could kill him together.
2. Got everyone in the room above (with the lever and ladder) then shot him, turned invisible so it didn't set off any traps, headed upstairs, became visible so he would follow up... then killed him with everyone.
3. Step 2 but entered dialog first.
Nothing seems to work. I don't get it.

I feel like none of the methods people are suggesting are working. What am I missing?
Maybe I just need to play ALL THE WAY THROUGH again and kill him at the coronation?

I got zero clue how I got this achievement 'cause I know I used no known tactics as I wasn't even aware of the achievement in the first place. Didn't kill him at the coronation. I might have lead him out of the room and he died to a Steel Watcher exploding lol.
