Talk:Old Friends
Possible bug?: When you first reach the fleet, killing any Aetherblades before the dialogue progresses enough to trigger the achievement tracker seems to prevent the For Lion's Arch! achievement from being finished on that run.

After releasing myself from the cell, "Big-Hatted Man" said "You guys can't stop causing trouble." instead of the line "Well, this is awkward." Fam (talk) 19:39, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
This Isn't Cannon[edit]
Any tips? Does Aegis block fail the achievement?

I was having trouble with this on my Scourge Necro - minions, barrier, DPS, didn't seem to help. Then I switched to Deadeye and got through easily. I decided to try Deadeye initially b/c of all the Stealth and Projectile blocks it has but it turned out I didn't need any of that. The extremely high DPS + range was all I really needed to kill those Canoneers before they even got a shot off (this is with full Exotic Berserkers armor and ascended Rifle + trinkets and Critical Strikes + Deadly Arts + Deadeye Trait lines http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PaQAQlZwAZYsL2JOyL6PTA-zRIYRUwDA-e). If your DPS isn't high enough to just blast your way through the level, Deadeye offers tons of useful skills/traits that should make this easy (note that the times below are base values which can be even higher with applicable Traits):
- Silent Scope - 3s Stealth on dodge
- Sniper's Cover - 5s projectile block and uses Initiative so almost like no cool-down
- Smoke Screen - 7s projectile block + blind foes - easily used whenever you jump into an area where there are canoneers to give you a few seconds to target and kill them while they can't hit you
- Basilisk Venom - 1.5s stun - should stop canoneers from getting a shot at you
- Shadow Meld - 3s stealth
- etc
Despite all these I didn't end up needing / using any of them. The high DPS + range and maybe a couple dodges was more than enough. Dracx (talk) 22:12, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
There seems to be some misleading information in the page itself stating that you only need to dodge the cannoneer's AOE. It seems that if you are close to where the cannon explosion from the ship next to you this can also cause the achievement to fail, so make sure you don't get hit by any of the flying cannonballs from ships when you are jumping from ship to ship, or even fighting on the edge.

re: Gorrik: We should hurry. It's a little chilly here. {{verify|I don't have this in my log}} - I saw this line. It seemed to pop up when I had moved too far away and he stopped moving for a moment. For me, this happened at the bridge. Adeira Tasharo (talk) 02:21, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
