Found an annoying fact about the achievment to beat Warden Krieg before hitting level 11

[Light]

Just as the title states. I discovered that you need to purposely keep your xp way down if you unfortunately wind up reaching level 10 by the time you reach him. If you defeat him and his xp bonus puts you to the levelup you won't get the achievment because it causes you to hit 11 before it checks for the stupid achievement. So yeah, I learned the hard way that you can't level up to 11 at all by beating him. I'm not doing that again and as far as I'm concerned. That's a bug right there and the achievement should have counted. I didn't level until after I killed him :P

suppose if you had searched up some of the other posts mentioning this, in advance of doing "weird achievements"preparation, then you would already have been aware that this is how it works.
wouldn't even call it much of an issue either, special tasks usually come with their own set of "quirks", if one could really even call it that. Meh, personally not that bothered, since it takes "5mins" to redo anyway...
^feel free to ignore

I killed him at level 9 with shaman, it's an easy one

[Gladys Maria]

If you run straight to him just picking off a few enemies to gain a few skill points put them all into one thing something were you don't have to melee him like skeletons they make short work of him you can do it it in under 10 levels,it is even easier now with the merits you can warp straight to his lab area it makes this achievement kind of pointless now it was a fun challenge before.

i can kill him on level 2. shot shot crap and getting scap, looting chest search some shield and buy some potion, fix bridge, walking through undead, and knock2 ITS DEATHH.

[Dracuras]

ran a nightblade to do that, just threw knives at him and watched him bleed out as he tried to hit me.

You'd go like skrrrahh, pap, pap, ka-ka-ka. Skibiki-pap-pap, and a pu-pu-pudrrrr-boom
Skya, du-du-ku-ku-dun-dun. Poom, poom.

I'm usually around level 20+ by the time I take out Krieg

that's through normal play, this is rush kill, specific to get there early to kill warden as low lvl, because of silly special cheevo (which was slightly more "challenging" before expansions)

That's why I posted the comment to warn people trying for it. Make sure you're below level 10. It's just too easy to gain xp and if his kill puts you at 11 you won't get it. Mostly you just have to run through all the hordes of monsters and try not to accidentally click anything and kill it xD.

so how did you like it? in terms of silly tasks to do/for an achievement, compared to (possibly) initial experience when you meet Warden at 20'ish and feel "daunted" by his beefy presence at first

But the guide section should have notes on this also,
and yea, it's a good thing Grim Dawn lets you skip/run past so much, so the best strat is just to run to Warden at like lvl 5, not killing anything on the way/run around. Grab the transit portal, rush his lab, toss a safety/return portal, and kill a few mobs to get lvl9 and go for him. "easy as pie"(no idea why "pie" is easy o.0)
would be kinda cool if they did similar achievements i think, "defeat Alkamos at lvl 30/below X"-and then not have him scale lower than 40 or something mad

It's hardly a news at this point but I guess people are allergic to using search engines (which is hardly a news as well).

[Light]

Probably because search engines are horribly fussy about your wording. Either way, it wasn't really hard to kill. Just seems kinda stupid that technically you can do precisely what the achievement requests and yet it won't award it because of how it checks after the xp is awarded for beating the boss. Any build that can do strong damage with DoT is great. Oathbearers work just fine for it too with their one primary attack move maxed out.

This ws the most exciting achive i ever had to get. I acutally at one point assumed there was a normal and hardcore version of this achive and spend many characters in hard core trying to complete this only to find out, there is NO hardcore version. THERE NEEDS to be because I killed him on hardcore at level 8 shaman, dinged 9 after he died. But thought achiev was bugged so i did again, killed him on a demo at level 7, dinged 8 after he died.

But i learned that i got achiev for it on normal a long time ago, and just didnt know i didnt need to waste my time doing it again in hardcore.
